Lady Gaga is the classic ugly hooknosed New Yorker that you see far too much around these parts. At least Madonna was halfway decent looking in her day, and had some talent.
She's infinitely more talented than Madonna.
One can never be as good as the original when the only thing you know how to do is be an imitation.
Lady Gaga has a better vocal range and singing voice than Madonna and is a better instrumentalist. Content is of course subjective but form-wise she is considerably more talented.
And to think I was beginning to like you lately..
