They are different, but not that different. They are like comparing apples to green apples. Super they look and taste different, but they are still apples. You can fairly compare any female pop singers amongst each other. The thing that is often missing is also doing the contrasting. I'm not saying they're polar opposite as the main reasons they get compared is how both rose to fame the same way and after they did, they both stood out due to how they dressed. Once you move on to their music and personalities, you notice how different they are. I agree, musically they are very different, mainly LG can play something and hasn't done a cover of "American Pie" that makes me lose faith in any higher power. But being that they are still playing various forms of pop music, it is fair. And let us be honest, "Applause" could be a Madonna song pretty damned easily.

Madonna plays the drums and guitar and Applause couldn't be a Madonna song IMO. It has classic Gaga all over with the constant repeat of the word applause. Do What U Want could be a Madonna song however as it's meaning is similar to Madonna's Human Nature.

I can actually LISTEN to a handful of Madonna's songs. I'm the opposite. I'm from Madonna's generation but I can't think of a single song of her's that I like. I'm not big on Gaga but I like a few of her songs.

Madonna did "Like A Prayer" therefore she wins.

Madonna and it isnt even close. That isnt even a shot at Gaga. Madonna is easily on the mount rushmore of pop music. Without Madonna there is no Gaga, or a lot of other big pop acts of the last 20 years

I think Gaga is alot more self aware than Madonna.
And even though she makes generic pop music she treats her performance as art.
Madonna is just some crazy old lady dancing around in a leotard.

She wins by default

Sorry, but it's not something I could see Cher singing. Only the current group pop stars are the ones I can see singing it. Cher, Madonna, Mariah, and Janet wouldn't need to make a song saying I live for making my fans happy; they would just straight up say in some interview or something.

Lady Gaga is insanely talented, I really don't get the hate. I guess it comes from people lumping her, Kesha and Katy Perry together, but Gaga has an amazing voice and is a great pianist.

I like her early stuff. You know, 'Lucky Star', 'Borderline' - but once she got into her 'Papa Don't Preach' phase, I don't know, I tuned out.

Gaga by a country mile, for me. There are only a couple of songs by her that I'm not big on, and everything from The Fame Monster on has been pretty damn great.
I can only listen to one of Madonna's albums all the way through, that being Ray of Light.

One thing not mentioned yet is Gaga cares about what her fans think and isn't always a total aloof diva. Mind you I am not a fan of hers...but I respect that cause it's so rare now. Everyone seems to be the distant diva-type now who don't notice our admiration.
On the other hand, I remember an excerpt from one of Michael Jackson's bio that describes Madonna regularly disrespecting fans. And she seems to generally be a massive pretentious **** who started the whole sex = great musical performer movement that is really hit or miss.

Madonna is superior to Lady Gaga in every possible way There are two things Gaga has over Madonna IMO and that's singing and the way she treats her fans. Google Images Lady Gaga with fans, then do the same with Madonna. You will notice how rare it is to see Madonna hanging out with her fans.

I'm a huge Lady Gaga fan, so I'm totally biased here. She's absolutely beautiful, a great singer, an awesome songwriter, can dance her ass off, and has a really powerful message. Nobody comes close to Lady Gaga!!!

That song can easily come off as self-aggrandizing. In fact that is way more how it feels than being appreciative of fans.

*stands up, straightens tie and clears throat* I would bang Lady Gaga so, so hard. Therefore, she wins. Case closed, we're done here people! An addendum to the gentleman's post: Gaga has DAT ASS.
