Lady Gaga: Not Fit to Lick “The Queen’s” Go-Go Boots
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
I’m having a Jerry Maguire moment. Ya know – one of those days where you can’t take being beat down by the same nonsensical bullsh-t anymore and have to speak up.
Let me preface this by saying I am NOT a Madonna fan. I grew up with her music, yes, and over time I came to respect her as an artist, but I am in no way a “fan.” That’s important to know.
Moving forward. There has been a lot of discussion as to Lady Gaga and how “genius” she is. Everything ranging from “she so brilliant she writes songs in 4 minutes” to “she’s a fashion icon” to “she’s the new queen of pop.”
I’m sorry, but who anointed her “the new queen of pop.” Seems a bit premature to dub someone Madonna’s title when at the age of 50, Madonna’s still kicking hard, creating music for the masses, and selling out arenas at $400 a ticket. Again, I’m not a fan, but I can recognize the difference between someone who changes music (heck even the world’s perceptions through music) than a low rent impostor like Gaga.
