Lady Madonna

I am entranced by Lady GaGa. "Just Dance" was in my head all night and now I can't get "Poker Face" out either. Her songs are so similar, club music and not crazy-brilliant. But she's definitely an artist, quite sassy with her genius costuming and satirical performances. With our two-second attention spans, how long will the US tolerate someone with an above average brain, who claims that all she wants in a man is "a big d*ck?" Madonna had "like a virgin," which is tepid compared to GaGa. The Lady practically shows us her waxing and prances around in patent leather undies. I enjoy her bold and easy handling of audiences. No one will have her completely. Strong iconic women tend to blow everyone else away (as it should be). She must stay in Europe as long as possible since they tend to appreciate edginess more than we do (exception: David Hasselhoff and Jerry Lewis).

A difference (this might get me killed) is that Lady GaGa already knows how to sing. She's got pipes and balls from Day #1. Madonna learned on the job and unleashed her full fury with Evita. After the VMAs, a photo was snapped of the two divas. I hope they collaborate as that would be the most powerful pairing. May Lady GaGa last as long as Madonna and may they both live happily ever after.
