Today Lady Gaga's latest album "Born This Way" hits stores. I honest don't care much for the album but her fans are going gaga for it! I must say she's really a talented and creative person but there is just too much hype with her and her music. It's not like her music is unlike anything we've never heard. If you do your musical homework it's much like Madonna's music back in the late 80s, early 90s.
They way she "reinvents" herself is the similar to the way Madonna use to back in that era. The only difference now is that Lady Gaga is bit more modern. Mostly everything she does like playing off this religion and creating new looks are the same thing Madonna has done. If you see Lady Gaga's video for "Judas" and see "Like A Prayer" by Madonna the concept of the videos are similar and the religious influence are incorporated into the videos and songs as well.
What I'm trying to say is that Lady Gaga is not an innovator more like a copy cat that adds a modern twist. If you guys were to do the musical homework you would see the similarities between these two artist. If I had to buy an album I'd hands down get "Like A Prayer" by Madonna.
I prefer originality versus something with a modern twist.

When her album "Born This Way" was on its way to being on the shelves, Lady Gaga said in an interview that her inspiration does come from Madonna. And Madonna responded by saying she is happy she can have musical influence on someone such as Lady Gaga and there was nothing wrong with it. She just wants to be like her idol and more so I wouldn't really say she is a copy cat. Soon in the years to come, someone will want to be like Lady Gaga then someone else will look back and say that's how Gaga was. Although, the 80s and the 90s had some good jams, we are living in current times where there are more variations of music taken from the old. The old, I believe had much more meaning to the words. I do think some of Gaga's video are over the top, a little too much sometimes.
