Who has more raw talent: Lady Gaga or Madonna?
Enter your vote in the Lady Gaga vs Madonna debate
A lot of comparison has been done between Lady Gaga and Madonna, and not without good reason either. Lady Gaga and Madonna are both known for repeatedly reinventing themselves. They both wore costumes considered outrageous at the time, and there are striking similarities in some of their songs.
Regardless of their similarities, I wonder....who has more raw talent: Lady Gaga or Madonna?
Madonna came first, but does that mean she is more talented? Perhaps Lady Gaga is more talented, but since she has so many similarities to Madonna, is it all her talent, or is she sub-consciously borrowing from her predecessor (or worse yet consciously doing so).
Who has more raw talent: Lady Gaga or Madonna?
Lady Gaga has more raw talent
Lady Gaga has more raw talent
Gaga has more raw talent. But, Madonna is by far a better dancer. Lay Gaga can not dance at all. Madonna may not be the best singer but she makes up for it in emotion. Madonna also writes her own songs. She has proven herself to be versatile and adventerous and experimental in music and image.
Mae West started it all.
Madonna didn't. Madonna can't sing unless the orchestre plays her melody.
gaga can sing but madonna is just Madonna
She has a soul. You rarely find those these days.
I was around when Madonna got big. Hate to say it but the kid (GaGa) has more talent and a better voice.
Lady Gaga, already a legend and worldwide superstar, has set the standard for performance + artistry + fashion. My belief is that Madonna, in addition to having plenty of "green", also sees this color vis-a-vis Lady Gaga and her "raw" talents.

LADY GAGA
Cringing so hard at everyone who voted Madonna saying Gaga wouldn't be a household name, or that Gaga's a copycat. What has any of that got to do with talent? Gaga has much more talent. Her voice is FAR superior, she is classically trained on the piano, she coproduces all her music, is a much more promising songwriter, designs outfits and stage productions/props etc... Hell, even her dancing is better than Madonna's repetitive moves.
Lady Gaga has more talent because she always love's people and I really love Lady Gaga so much when she performs she always have special elements in front of the people seeing her perform Madonna... she's becoming less raw talent....
Lady Gaga is better . Sure
She just can't stop making good music, sorry madonna she is much better than you!
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga. Just watch her perform her songs like You And I, Speechless, or The Edge Of Glory. People only judge her off of her sex-driven songs like Lovegame and her bizarre fashion. They just throw her off as a gimmick, but she's much more than that.
Lady Gaga has more raw talent. Back in the 80s it got to the point where everything was just SEX SEX SEX (With Madonna). Lady Gaga is actually capable of preforming/writing great dance songs and ballads. Lady Gaga can do country, jazz, rock, pop! As an artist Lady Gaga adapts to all sorts of music. So basically Lady Gaga has more raw talent than Madge. End of story.
lady gaga
Gaga does. Listen to her voice. Look at her play the piano. She writes all of her songs. Her songs are fantastic. She is utterly creative. She's brought masks and performance art and theater to pop. She's a gagoddess! And I've always loved Madonna but...Gaga really does have more talent!
It's hard to say. Madonna showed no talent at all, as far as I'm concerned, on her first few albums - at least not as a songwriter or singer. Gaga shows far more raw talent than that. However, after years of single-minded determination, Madonna has reinvented herself and has for many years been a thoughtful and creative lyricist and a truly talented songwriter and performer. Gaga shows no lack of determination. Only time will tell. But for "raw" talent, I have to give it to Gaga. Hat's off to Madonna for becoming talented, but Gaga is starting her career, no matter how much she borrows from the past, with more intrinsic talent that Madonna did.
Madonna has more raw talent
MADONNA. GaGa is an imitation.. if Madonna hadn't existed neither would have Rihanna, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey, Fergie... and the list goes on and on... And especially Lady GaGa.. Sorry to burst all of your hearts but Madonna set the standard for a successful Rock Star... let's see if we're still talking about GaGa in 30 years.. Madonna had her first single released in 1982. And her name is STILL on your tongues... Suck on that bitches...
Madonna is The Original. GaGa is a B-grade and cheap mish-mash of many pop acts from the late 70's and 80's. GaGa wouldn't have acareer today if it wasn't for Madonna having paved the path for her...
One word bitches Madonna
Madonna is a better singer.
madonna is the biggest star in all times
madonna all the way, gaga is just an ugly copy
madonna is so much better she has a lot more talent when i look at her she is more natural way she moves to her voice is so much better lady gaga will never be at her level
Lady Gag Gag sucks, she should not even be compared to Madonna. We can also call her Lady copy cat!
Madonna
gaga plays the piano well, and imitates well. madanna is the true entertainer and trail blazer. gaga will not be a household name 20 years from now.
gaga is a more accomplished musician..madonna is prettier, smarter, dances better and much important, she did it all before!
Madonna is way more over all talented and 100 better an true artist and much of icon more internationally influential and more successful globally what's even more impressive is she manage all that without ITUNES YOUTUBE OR THE INTERNET AND ALL THE OTHER TONS OF NEW MEDIA OUTLETS THAT GAGA HAS TODAY WHERE ANYMORE CAN BECOME FAMOUS OVERNIGHT WITH JUST A SIMPLE CAMERA PHONE AND LITTLE EFFORT U CAN BE ANYONE CAN BE A STAR NOWADAYS. SO GAGA POPULARITY DOSNT MEAN NOTHING IN TODAY MARKET..ITS ABOUT HOW WELL U STAND THE TEST OF TIME CUZ ONLY THE FITTEST CAN SURVIVE LIKE MADONNA HAS AND THAT SHOWS TRUE TALENT... Gaga just comes off as cheap second rate generic ripoff that leaves a bad after taste in your mouth like a cheap 99CENT bottle of wine lol
Madonna better in all.
Lady Gaga is a copycat and a manufactured product of marketing. Gaga isn't what she says she is.
Maybe Gaga has stronger voice but Madonna is the genius in other all. She does better. Lady Gaga sorry is ok but she is not original and creative. She steal a lot from Madonna and other artists. Madonna is better, of course!
Lady gaga is all-time stoned and she is ugly MADONNA FOREVER

I remember being fascinated with Madonna. Showing my age here, but I've got to vote for her.
I really hate it that people even compare the two. Certainly they both go for the shock value, but Madonna was never just sick-over-the-top like Gaga. Would Madonna have worn a meat dress? No. Did she sing and dance about murdering everyone in a diner like Gaga? No. Did she wear a red plastic dress and red eye-patch makeup to meet the queen? No. (Google "Gaga meets the Queen" and "Madonna meets the Queen" to see the difference). Gaga is, IMO, 99% shock and 1% talent. Madonna is one of the all-time greats.
Madonna being who she is and has been doing it for such a long time makes me feel she has more raw talent.
Can Lady Gaga sustain her fame?
Madonna's first album, Madonna, was released in 1983. She has continued to reinvent herself, and has stayed remained relevant for over 25 years. Do you think Lady Gaga has the ability to do the same? Will Lady Gaga still be a household name in 2030?
Can Lady Gaga sustain her fame for as long as Madonna has?

I grew up on Madonna. Lady Gaga reminds me of her in so many ways. I recently heard Born This Way and immediately thought it sounded like Madonna's Express Yourself. I don't know who has more raw talent, but I like them both. I might like Madonna a bit more since we've been together for so long. I think Lady Gaga has a long and bright future ahead of her.
