Madonna vs Lady Gaga – Material Girl vs Poker Face
Both are controversial and beloved artists as well. One is just getting started and the other is at her peak. Who do you think is the real Queen of Pop?
Madonna
Described for many times as “one of the best pop artists of all time”, called “Queen of Pop”, Madonna is also the best-selling singer of the 20th century, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide.
In 1984, the star has shocked the public opinion and critics with her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, playing a unique version of the song “Like a Virgin” and coming out of a cake wearing a wedding dress.
In her past concerts, Madonna shocked the world with masturbation scenes, wearing on stage a gold corset signed by French fashion designer Jean Paul Gautier, or scenes that sado-masochistic acts, mocking Catholic rituals.
Her book, titled “Sex” was banned in several countries, sold over 1.4 million copies in just six months.
In 2003, at the 20th MTV VMA, she again shocked international opinion, this time with a live performance of the hits “Hollywood” and “Like a Virgin” with Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. In the middle of the performance, Madonna kissed both Christina and Britney.
During her world tour titled “Confessions Tour” in 2006, Madonna appeared on stage tied to a crucifix and wearing a crown of thorns.
Madonna appeared again in a sexy pictorial, at the age of 51, this time posing for the Interview magazine.
In one photo, Madonna appears only in her underwear showing her great body in front of the camera.
In another photo, the Queen of Pop is kissing a cross, fueling once more the controversial rumors about the relationship she has with religion.
Madonna, 52, is very hot in ads for Dolce & Gabbana.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is 24 years old and winner of two Grammy awards. She is considered one of the most interesting and original artists of the new wave and enjoy a huge commercial success.
Lady Gaga has become famous thanks to such hits as “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face” and has delighted audiences at some outrageous live shows, always wearing shocking suits or by burning the piano while singing at the American Music Awards 2009 gala.
Lady Gaga has posed for the Japanese edition of Vogue dressed in raw meat, rising protests from animal protection associations like “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals”.
Animal rights activists were furious because Lady Gaga has posed wearing only some pieces of raw red meat as a bikini.
Lady Gaga said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair that she’s “occasionally” sniffing cocaine.
With gold stars applied on her breasts, as a bra, and a “deux pieces’ style nets, sometimes equipped with holes – that’s how Lady Gaga appeared at a festival in Chicago. Without hesitation! That is the rule when it comes to Lady Gaga.
At the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Lady Gaga made a very sexy scene.
The controversial singer has sparked waves of comments with the advent of her new video, in which she swallows the Rosary beads, tying a man to bed and experiencing bondage.
The video contains many controversy scenes. In one sequence, she takes her shirt off, still topless, but sits with her back to the camera. The singer wears a modern version of the cone bra promoted by Madonna, this time turned into weapons.
Lady Gaga will soon introduce her own perfume, but you all know that being about such a controversial entertainer, the fragrance’s name will also be unique: “Monster”.
According to TMZ, the singer’s own fragrance will be “Monster” perfumery. Therefore, rumors started swirling about how the new perfume will smell like recalling that Gaga loved the way her VMA’s meat dress smelled like.
Even if Gaga’s new scent won’t be pleasant to everybody, it will still wear the Lady Gaga label and definitely will go overboard with the scent.
As for the release date, rumors say it will be available starting 2012.

Madonna is the greatest pop icon ever! She is unrivaled and will continue to mesmerize audiences in decades to come.
No contest!!! There’s only one Madonna, one undisputed Queen of Pop! Madonna leads and others follow. Gaga was ‘interesting’ at first but now it’s all very boring – just another stupid outfit. There’s no way she’ll be around in 25+ years. You need to be able to reinvent yourself. I can’t understand how Forbes placed her so far above M.
M has influence in so many different genres.
I agree 101% with Darolo! Thank you.

Madonna is and will be forever the Queen of Pop!!!!!!!!
Madonna is an icon and legend. She is a the top female artist and icon. Her title and place in pop culture history are forever cemented. She is the one that is constantly mimicked, who other female pop stars desire to be, and whose career is used as a yardstick by which other careers are measured. Those who cannot understand that and respect her are clueless and ignorant.
Its really sad and also frightening to see how easily the media can compare a huge legen like Madonna {who has suvive 3 decades (!!!) all by means of hard work, cleverness, imagination and stainless sensuality} to this product aimed to make profit by fraudolent advertising, because, let´s face it! She is not that original, without Grace Jones, Roisin Murphy, Kelis, Queen, Aguilera´s advisors, Spears, Elton John and many more, she would be only who she really is: Stefany Germanotta, and not the fake monster she pretens to be!
Lady Gaga initially seemed like she could be a reasonably interesting prospect when she first appeared. However, increasingly, she has become a photocopy of Madonna and revealed herself to be just another wannabe, albeit a highly successful one. Unless she starts to come up with ideas of her own, then there is no way she will be around in 3 years time, let alone 30.
The world doesn’t need another Madonna. The orignal is still going strong and will do for many years to come.
i cannot believe that you are comparing gaga to MADONNA! madonna is the most iconic and influential female pop star the world has ever seen! every pop star has copied and imitated her! shes inspired EVERYBODY from rihanna to kylie minogue to britney and like everybody else says-gaga is just another pathetic madonna wannabe! she will never in a million years be the woman and entertainer that madonna is! what a joke that your even comparing them!
