yes, comparison of gaga and madonna seems to be often mentioned... personally, i think madonna is a great businesswoman, who knew how to admirably build herself up on not that much to start with (not a great voice or singing ability). and gaga defintely learned from her in building up the carrier on scandalous looks/statements/vidoes etc.
but, did you ever listen to gaga? that performance on grammys with elton john, for example? she actually has talent, and a great voice! and she's def
not classically pretty. look at spears vs aguilera also - aguilera actually has a voice and can really sing (did you hear her at that rolling stones concert with jagger? they were great! compare that to fergie with jagger performance, for example), but spears is more succesful and i don't think you can say that was b/c of the song quality
. so while i understand annoyance with gaga's over-exposure and i'm not a fan, i think she/interscope actually have a great foundation to build on with gaga, unlike many other over-exposed super-successful pop singers of today.
