In 2007 Blackout was released.
Although it had not gotten great success it was still very influential.
Do you think it's heavy dance pop/electro influences helped The GP to embrace The Fame
At a time where Electro pop was growing? :
In truth It wasn't until Blackout that people started really diving into the Electro genre on a mainstream level.
Of course she did.
Gaga wouldn't lie every time she praises Britney.
Anyway, I've been saying this forever. Back in 2007 Blackout was released at a time when R&B Pop was slaying the charts e.g. Irreplaceable, Umbrella, No One etc.
Britney Her impact on today's dominating music sub genre
Yes, obviously, but I think the most effective way that Britney opened the doors for Gaga was in 2008/09 when Gaga was always claiming she wrote songs for Britney.
I believe Blackout opened the doors for many of today's music to be honest, not only Lady Gaga.
Nope, I don't see Britney's influence in Gaga at all. Even if she does say she is influenced by her, I don't see it. Her biggest influence is Madonna. If Britney never existed, Gaga still would have happened.
No, the iconic "Just Dance" which is better than any single Britney has ever released was destined to reach #1 on its own merits. It was just too infectious and amazing.
