Lady GaGa and Madonna
Lady GaGa is being hailed as the new Madonna. Is it just the press trying to promote GaGa or is there some truth to it? In reality only time will tell. If Lady GaGa can manage half of the longevity of Madonna she would have done well.

Lady GaGa V Madonna
The Debate
Why is it that we are so keen to find an heir apparent for Madonna, she may be fifty but she doesn't look like she's retiring any time soon! Lady GaGa hasn't been on the scene for very long at all and has only released one album whereas Madonna has been around since the 1980s. Madonna has also released 11 albums.
Controversy
Madonna encountered a lot of controversy when she first started out. She was criticized for wearing a crucifix and glamorizing teen pregnancy.
Lady GaGa is criticized for going out in (what looks like) her underwear and encouraging teens to go out and get drunk.
Are they both just media savvy? What's the old saying - it doesn't matter what they're saying as long as they're saying something.
Déjà vu
Lady GaGa parades around in her underwear inspired clothes.........does anyone else remember Madonna's pointy bra on the Blonde Ambition Tour?
Lady GaGa is certainly very open about flaunting her body. In an early interview she said that she was singing in a club and no one was listening. What is a girl to do? Apparently she striped down to her bra and panties and people started to listen and clap!!
I guess she thought well I'll keep it going.......
Madonna says..........Sex & Erotica!
Copycat or Heir Apparent?
So while it's true on paper Madonna and Lady GaGa would appear to have a lot in common has Lady GaGa just copied a few pages out of Madonna's playbook? I guess we have to just wait and see.
Madonna has proven to her fans and critics alike that she IS the Queen of Reinvention. Lady GaGa claims that she can be, but only time will tell.
Shared Influences
What I find interesting is that although Madonna was already in the charts before Lady GaGa was born they do have some shared influences. They both cite classical music and Led Zeppelin as musical influences. They also both draw on Andy Warhol for conceptual influences.

It's too soon to say, but I don't think you can hail someone as the new Madonna on the strength of only one hit album.
