Some Gaga fans on Youtube are trying to make out JUDAS is more of a lyrical achievement than Like A Prayer!! One has even said its better than anything Michael Jackson has written.

I mean where on earth have these little monsters been hiding all these years?

I feel for them once Gaga starts to fall from grace and the next big craze comes into fashion. I didn't realise just how deluded many of them were. I really thought some just took the piss but I'm starting to see they are serious.
that did make me laugh! `Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas
Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA`. what a lyrical achievement!

As a massive MJ and Madonna fan that is just for me

Like A Prayer isn't even my favourite Madonna album/single (I'm more Ray of Light/Erotica has to be said) But there is still no denying it is a brilliant album and lyrically one of her best, definitely one of the strongest pop albums ever!

I've actually gone off Lady Gaga big time recently, shes got a great talent no question, but I think she needs to stop giving herself so much hype and let the music do the talking. A jazz/piano based album from her would be really cool!

Yes, I have seen BA, DWT, RIT, CT & S&S 2008 & 2009, I have been a little spoiled! Myself and a good friend always make sure to go a couple of times every time she tours, it costs a lot but is worth it.

I totally agree about the DVD's, it would be lovely to have a complete set of all the tours.
Oh my days yes you have been lucky! I mean to see her at different staves and all her recent tours! Phenomenal!

And yes they should remaster her tours starting wth both her 80s tours first and have the audio as a CD too! and then really focus on the BA Tour mastering etc. I mean that tour needs to be released

And just ignore some comments. They dont even mean it anyway. I mean its as if Madonna is like oh dear a recent pop song is better than one of the best songs of all time!

I mean Like A Prayer is perfect! the choir, the intro, everything! and not to mention one of the BESTMOTHERFREAKINALBUMSOFALLTIME!

Its just hypocracy and jealousy to be honest! and i pity them.

To be fair though gaga is about the killer hooks and not the killer lyrics really.

Thats why i love Judas and that and Edge are her best singles (until Marry The Night...THAT is a chooon!)

those haters will be drowning in their own shit soon enough anyway when gaga and Madonna in a couple years time make one of the best duets of all time! Im not talking the "substandard excuse for duets today that artists do to nudge along in the system" i am talking a massive duet for Lady gs next album after Madonnas next era something perhaps progressive and haunting. Madonna shows powerhouse vocals before and she can do it again and Lady gaga has that sporano, brassy range i love and both will work together certainly.

Lady Gaga is talented but only time will tell if she is comparable to Madonna.

Judas is OK but the only similarity with Like a Prayer is that they both have a religious theme, if the little monsters think it is better than Like a Prayer then let them think that, we know otherwise!

I missed out on Girlie Show as it had just sold out when I tried to get tickets, that was totally

By the way you saw the better version of S&S, the 2008 version was OK but the 2009 version was so much better!

Yeah girlie show is possibly her most underrated Tour! I own it on DVD and by what i have seen i rank it just after BA and Confessions on DVD standard!

And yes the 2009 shows were incredible! In 2008 she looked like she lost a lot of weight etc (divorce etc at the time poss?) and in 2009 it was like she absorbed all this energy and was "Madonna" again" Loved the additions and alterations and rearrangements she did and that new mix of Frozen after Like A Prayer was phenomenal with the Calvin Harris sample!

you are very correct. i love some of gaga`s songs and they are very catchy. as you may know i am no fan of `judas`. however, that is personal taste. as for the lyrics of that song, it does not stand up to some of her own songs. yet alone one of madonna`s better songs lyrically. however, that is also just my prospective.

Tbh i take all gaga with a pinch of salt. She pleases me and i like her. I am not a "stan fan" but i think i have worked out away to enjoy the music she has made recently and not get angry at the world

I think she is only comparable to legends in "some" ways. But i always think of it positively. She is only similar to Madonna like Kylie and Britney are and they all bring something different to the table.

Personally pre-Born This Way album, gaga was the novelty act, the new girl, the it girl, the one whom the media shalt not fault. And now shes in honeymoon season, its spicier, fans have jumped ship and shes brought more on (pre 2010 i wouldnt have thought twice, but now i find her enjoyable).

But hey, a stan is a stan and some things they write its like....well would you buy their music anyway...enough of this foolishness!

Anyway just over an hour until we like to PARRTAAAAAY!

Always a classic

And for her speech i thought (as always) she is perfect with them. I mean she didnt "know him" know him...nobody did but they were close in the late 80s/early 90s a lot and it was so special.

I mean The Queen speech about The King and then the Kings sister perform right after....what the VMAs is for!
