some of gaga's fans are clearly lashing out and its probably nothing to do with madonna if they're being honest with themselves. gaga has been put on an untouchable pedestal in these peoples minds and it must be distressing to see her commercial and critical decline. some of these people have moaned and groaned non stop about other artists for showing no musical development and for playing it safe, so of course gaga's return with no artistic development is going to put some fans on the defensive.
madonna is above all of that now, her place in pop history is secure and she has other priorities in life. its actually quite liberating as a fan, not to be concerned with chart positions and sales when it comes to madge, because she's achieved everything she set out to achieve and more.

Its always the same Gaga fans who bring up Madonna first and always refer to her as a has been. If she was so much of a has been she wouldn't even be on their radar yet she is their main source of discussion. They are completely intimidated by her legacy and view it as a threat to what they desperately want Gaga to be. The fact they even refer to Madonna as a has been shows their musical ignorance and when Gaga is eventually out of favour (and this day will come a lot sooner than they expect) they will be in for a massive shock. As you say they have placed her so high in their expectations that they expect far too much from her. We Madonna fans have seen many new self proclaimed ''queens'' come and go. This will all end in tears for them. There is only one Madonna and there was only ever a need for one Madonna. Madonna did everything she needed to do. That's why she is a legend. If this ARTPOP era had been done by Katy or Rihanna they wouldn't be praising it the way they have been. There lays the irony. But Molybecks has a history of trolling on this site so my advice is don't rise to it. If its an attempt to make the Madonna fans look bitter all it has done is make the Gaga fans look immature and once again made the monsters look deluded. It a shame how just one person can make an entire fanbase look bad.

also, madge is doing another "live art curation" at 4:30pm EST today on her tumblr and apparently she'll be answering "Madonna Art For Freedom related questions".
so basically, she wont be answering questions about certain media publicity stunts, but i bet the fans will ask her anyway.
and finally, lordes flips off the paps in nyc.
