Lady Gaga Monster Success in Houston – the Next Madonna?

Fans of Lady Gaga who watched her concert last night at the Toyota Center in Houston exclaimed that she is definitely the new Madonna. Yes, we agree with them, only 2 years after launching her first album, Stefani Germanotta has surpassed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera combined!
Lady Gaga has the right blend of theatrical and dance performance, peppered with horror, humor and parental dysfunction at all her concerts! Her Monster Ball Tour was even compared to Madonna’s “Blonde Ambition” tour. I think it’s proper to say that Lady GaGa can now be compared and lined-up with Michael Jackson and Madonna. Why did I say that? Because for 2 hours last night, she entertained her fans by singing 19 songs and tons of wardrobe changes, which is her signature style.
Lady Gaga propelled her concert in Houston starting from a silhouette of hair, her shoulder pads and her trademark long, shapely legs and her army of androgynous dancers! Gaga rolled out the performance with very complex outfits, then to her fluffy a.k.a. Snuffleupagus outfit, then to her peacock outfit with matching headdress, and many more! Lady Gaga’s piece de resistance was wearing a simple stripper chic outfit. She also showcased her piano talents when she played “Speechless” and “You and” while wearing only a shiny bikini and fake blood scattered all over her upper body.
Finally, Lady Gaga ended the concert by performing her dance singles like “Poker Face,” so for those of you who missed the event, you can still catch her tonight at the Toyota Center. If you don’t have the funds to purchase a ticket, then start saving for her concert next year on April 8, 2011 at the same place, see ya!
She is doing well.
You clearly need help. How can you compare this chick to the decades long careers of MJ or Madonna? She’s had a few good songs…so what. How many “new Madonna’s” have there been since 1983? Dozens at least. And yet, there is still only one Madonna. Go figure.
She is a Madonna rip off, she needs to be her own artist. Madonna still rules
A bunch of haters I tell you… She is doing very well wether she have 19 or 3 succesful songs. She is known world wide and has accomplished all of this in as little as 2 years. I’m going to her concert tonight and can’t wait. I know it’s pouring but that won’t stop us!!!
Gaga is way more likeable and interesting than Madonna ever was. As for longevity, with a stack of hits behind her already, way ahead of Madonna at the same stage of their careers, my money’s on Stefani Germanotta/Gaga to do rather well on that score too.
And she’s sexier too!
Its a little bit much to say she’s surpassed britney and christina aguilera. Christina aguilera’s career has spanned over a decade. Britney has been in the music industry a lot longer. they’ve both combined have sold 100′s of millions of records. Lady Gaga is great but she’s not to the level yet. To say she’s the new madonna is very premature comment as madonna’s career has spanned over decades since three of those popstars mentioned above were in diapers or not even born yet. When Lady Gaga has more 1#’s than madonna and elvis, you can call her the new madonna. until then, try not to get so excited.
She’ll never be then next Madonna.. Madonna is in a league of her own. No one will touch what she has accomplished. And the last time I checked Madonna was still breaking records
Evidently these people have never seen the Blond Ambition Tour.
gaga is good for POP music, but it s too early to call her a legend like MJ or Madonna. let’s wait a decade or two ! Madonna is a legend, and the ultimate pop icon. I think madonna was more fresh and new in the early 80s than Gaga is today. gaga makes ma actually love Madonna better !
she is NOT the new madonna……
like previous posters said……..lets wait 3 decades and we’ll be saying lady who?
also, madonna is way sexier than lady gay gay.
if i hear that stupid ra ra ga ga ga song one more time i think i might hurt somebody!
Oh and I have a big thing against singers that mention their own names in songs over and over again….tacky!
Gaga is just amazing.Her beautiful,impeccable voice, excellent team of musics and dancers engages you in her gorgeous entertainment. Also the public were involved with her unique style. I have to say it again bellisimo.
