As much as I detest Ke$ha for her annoying lyrics, overplayed songs, and fake image, at least she's just doing her own thing instead of comparing herself to Madonna or to anyone else. Ke$ha doesn't take baths, she has chapped lips in all her videos, and she autotunes about drinking while pregnant and back alley abortions before going out to the clubs. She's not trying to pass along some social message to an audience or is even attempting to be "the voice of a generation." She's just gonna be who she is, fake image or otherwise.

Honestly, I really don't think Lady Gaga has the composure or the humility to accept commercial failure. And as I've mentioned in this thread before, part of Madonna's "success" was always her ability to lick her wounds and try again. That's what made Madonna have staying power. And this was well before the internet, TMZ, Perez, etc. where everything was shoved down your throat via all forms of media. Madonna made her way via great promotion, hard work, and coming to accept that not everything would be as successful as she or Warner wanted it to be.

That is precisely why, bellcurve, I don't think such a thing as a new Madonna is possible nowadays. Everything changed. There is too much promotion, it hogs the "airwaves". Songs, artists, actors, films – you get pretty sick of it pretty quickly. Tonight you're hot, tomorrow you're a flop. And no one gives a damn. They just move onto another one, the next in line. People are also too cynical and perverted, nothing is really genuine anymore.
