She would rather be compared to legendary rock band Iron Maiden:*"They're one of the greatest rock bands in history, in my opinion. Some people really don't know the importance of metal and the scope of it. Those guys were filling stadiums, and they still are. And it's because of the culture of the music, the poetry that's so powerful, that whenever the fans come together they unite in the essence of what Iron Maiden is all about. I always used to say to people, when they would say, 'Oh, she's the next Madonna.' No, I'm the next Iron Maiden."
You do understand that she's referring to herself as a performer when she's saying this?
That has absolutely nothing to do with what genre she does.
She sorta always has been a rock star who does pop, anyway.

I'm failing to see how Gaga is doing any of the things she's attributing to Iron Maiden.
