One of the things that I'm sure you've noticed going on in the past three years is Lady Gaga's aesthetic similarities to the Queen of dance/pop, Madonna. Even Gaga's cyber bullying "Monsters" have been going head-to-head with Madonna's loyal disciples, the latter who could whoop your ass on sight, since many of Madonna's fans don't need a Twitter account to get their threats across.
After Lady Gaga's Unborn This Way record and music videos seemed to take a lot of inspiration from Madonna 20 years ago, Many of Madonna's fans (including myself) kept our fingers crossed that she would come back with an excellent new dance album that would school the new kids itching to snatch her crown how it's really done. While MDNA does have some memorable songs that will keep us on the dance floor throughout the summer and beyond, it is missing those classic pop gems and forward-thinking electronic sounds that we've come to expect from Your Madgesty.
So while many of the kids are GAGGING over her new Girl Gone Wild video, and we've finally gotten a breather from the Oprah-esque spiritual life lessons we've become accustomed to since Ray of Light, one of the shots at the end features Madonna crying liquid latex, and some genius spelled out the words "Fuck Gaga" in them. While I do miss the fun Gaga that burst on the scene with "The Fame," maybe after watching Madonna closely for the next two years (especially since MDNA is the #1 album in 40 countries, with 300,000 and 350,000 copies sold in the U.S.) will force the diva-in-training to step her game up and get her minions to be a little more creative..
