Is Lady Gaga trying to be a female Prince?

My cousin pointed this out to me and i can kind of see where shes coming from even though i can't stand lady gaga .... that sort of weirdness she clearly forces on her self seems a little Prince like ...and all the unusal music and stuff its kinda hard to put into words what do you think?

oh yeah and it says on her myspace Prince is one of her influences...

Actually yeah, that's what I'd say too...
except that I'm more fond of Pink than
Lady Gaga, and that's really stretching it.. lol

She's definately heavily influenced by 80s prince. I just bought her album from iTunes and it has a very noticable 1999 base. Does anyone know if those rumours about lady gagas gender could possibly be true?

She's bringing a mystique/persona to the table that's comparable to (or at least clearly influenced by) that of Prince/Madonna in the 80's.

I love that mess. cloud9

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Yeah, thats kind of true... I'm not a fan of hers (though I still like shaking my ass to that "Just Dance" song), but I respect her for what she's doing... At least she's bringing back what music has been missing for almost 20 years : IMAGERY... u know, MJ had his outfits, Prince his own and that purple color thing, David Bowie that hyper androginy image, Madonna that... hum.. "slutty nun" image... For the past few years its been the same boring cookie cute female singers or trashy ones, in Pop, R&B and rock all alike... So while the common person thinx she does dat only to get noticed and brew some publicity, I think there's actually more than that: Artistry and imagery... She may go too far sometimes with her clothes and look (check dat tora tora thing, WTF wacky), but at least she tries.. too hard sometimes, but I still respect that... Now it could be good to have a male alter ego... So I definitly think she's kind of emulating Prince, but not only. Gaga is a mix of Prince, madonna, Bowie, Mercury, Michael Jackson, Blondie... etc...
Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves.

No. She's trying to be Madonna, who herself was trying hard to be Blondie. This is how it works. Prince was trying to be James Brown, Jimi, Little Richard and Sly.

Correct! lock
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.
