[Is Lady Gaga The New Madonna?]

I like GaGa and her album. But nobody can replace Madonna. If GaGa will use the same trick for her second album, she'll be really laughable.

[Best moments from Madonna's tours...]

Reinvention Tour

Nobody Knows Me - awesome music + dancing

American Life's rap - I love it, especially with the rock version

Mother & Father - she kills it in the end

Confessions Tour

Music - her solo dance before the end

La Isla Bonita - "I don't see you shakin' it!"

Sticky & Sweet Tour

Vogue - the intro

You Must Love Me - a highlight

[GHV2 Special Edition for $5 at Wal-Mart!]

I may be one of the few here who loves GHV2.

[GAGA! Such a sweetheart about Madonna]

I like GAGA, but I'd pick MADONNA at her worst over her anytime.

We have to see if GAGA will be able to pull the same antics for her next album though. She'll never be like MADONNA, in my book.

[Appreciate: American Life (the album)]

I like this album. I had downloaded a "Special Edition" of this, which was edited by a fan. He/she removed Die Another Day and rearranged the order of the tracklisting. I think his/her edits improved the songs.

I like the original version as well. My Top 3 picks are American Life (I love the song including the rap - I think it's hilarious), Mother and Father (one of the album's gems), and Die Another Day. I think this album is like a cross between a dance record and a ballad/acoustic album.

It stands out from her catalog because it has that "I'm-distant-but-I-am-being-personal" sound to it, which I think is what I love the most about this album. I prefer this one than COADF though.
