Guest dicktracy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Lady Gaga: Many insiders say VMA performance tops Madonna http://www.examiner.com/x-15033-Memphis-Celebrity-Headlines-Examiner~y2009m9d19-Lady-Gaga-Many-insiders-say-VMA-performance-tops-Madonna September 19, 12:47 PMMemphis Celebrity Headlines Examiner Randy Aaron Lady Gaga: The new Madonna In 1984, Madonna shocked the world by appearing in a sleazy (but hot) wedding gown singing "Like a Virgin." Twenty five years later, Lady GaGa makes that performance forgettable. From her white classic look in "Poker Face" to her incredible vocal performance in "Paparazzi," Lady GaGa stole the night. Everybody held their mouths open in fascination when she hung from a string with fake blood on her face. Rolling Stone described the performance as "shockingly unforgettable" while many blogs have been buzzing about GaGa's show for days. It's obvious Lady GaGa is here to stay and is today's version of Madonna and Michael Jackson combined. Other articles of interest: Lady Gaga: Is she this generation's Elvis?

gemini1313 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 i quite enjoyed her performance. i laffed through the whole thing. from the crazy face to the blood to the hanging from a meathook. i mean, come on, who plays the piano with their foot. Gaga even found a moment to put a fake bloody contact lens in her right eye for the final hang. it was eccentric, i think thats the best way to describe it/her.

Guest waiting Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I like her. She can dance, sing, play the piano, bleed and die all in one performance. Gaga even found a moment to put a fake bloody contact lens in her right eye for the final hang. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Again, I reallly like alot of what Lady Gaga does, but GIVE ME A FREAKIN BREAK!!!!!!!!! That performance was a mess. On a sidenote though time might change that view depending on where her career goes from here. I have a feeling if most of us viewed Madonna's VMA performace without knowing who she was or anything else about her, we to would look at it and say, what the fuck was that mess? I was only 2 when Madonna did that so I am not really aware of the reaction but I am sure many didnt know what the hell to make of it and thought it was god awful.

Guest Pud Whacker Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 i guess time will only tell if they speak of a woman named Madonna, who slithered off a cake in a sleazy wedding dress singing about being Like a Virgin while wiping her cunt on the floor or a woman named Joanne who had solid gold dancers behind her while she flew in the air with blood on her ugly face. i already know the answer. man have you got the time to make this cosmic climb?

Lymon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Madonna's performance at the time was very shocking and scandalous. Many thought her career would be over, including her manager. Look where she is now. GaGa's performance was amazing, yes, but it doesn't have that hyped up scandal about it that still fuels the 1984 performance. Even the 2003 performance, I think, will be remembered more than GaGa's performance. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh please. GaGa was fabulous but "Like a Virgin" from the VMA's was 1000 times more shocking, and refreshingly, 1000 times less gimmicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For each decade in her career Madonna has had a legendary VMA's moment - "Like a Virgin", "Vogue" and "Hollywood". Let's hope she'll crank another one out in the next couple of years.

gemini1313 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 MADONNAs VIRGIN MTV performance was an ORIGINAL. it was a CLASSIC musical moment in HiSTORY & i dont think anything should be compared to it. it cant be matched. period. Obviously every new young vibrant popular pop-tart will be compared to M....but her ORIGINALITY AND SUCCESSESS should not be rivaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like did her manager run up to her and ask her what the fuck was up with that? Im sure if there was something like that I read about it somewhere but I just dont remember.

neutrocks Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is from the Examiner. Enough said. Anyway, I think Lady Ga Ga is great. She's a great entertainer. I don't need to compare her to Madonna, nor am I threatened by her popularity compared to Madonna. The two are two separate artists who equally entertain me. I enjoy them both and that is all that matters. Lady Ga Ga's performance was great. Comparing it to Madonna's Like A Virgin is like comparing Apples and Oranges. Both equally delicious, but not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh and before one of our resident smart asses comes in and points out that VMA's "Like a Virgin" wasn't original because Debbie Harry or whoever had once performed in a wedding dress - that is not the point.

Yeah, Liz Rosenberg's boyfriend at the time turned to her and said "Her career is over before it even started". And when M got backstage, her manager went off on her and I think said that her career was over, also. I can't remember exactly what the manager said. I know she mentioned it in the Hall of Fame speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that maybe "Hollywood" isn't the strongest Madonna single (even though I love it), but as a performance it was nothing short of GENIUS.

Bitch Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is from the Examiner. Enough said. Precisely. It's a lil piece by a nobody who wants to stir shit up, so more people would read his crap and he'll make an extra buck. It doesn't even mean that it's his real opinion. Just the fact that it's controversial. It's no different than that deranged Madonna fan that writes for the Examiner and makes crazy shit; like the one about Jesus having sexy time with Suzann Boyale.

BRING IT ON!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! and really while were at it - lets compare: just hideous: this ONE GLANCE AT THE CAMERA alone leaves joannes 'performance' in madonnas dust...
