Well maybe I'm not listening to it hard enough. Do you really hear a resemblence between Mercury or David Bowie and Lady Gaga?
Their sounds are different, but they are all pop stars...just as Michael Jackson and George Michael are pop stars. The similarity I'm talking about is a shared status in the pop musical canon that will stand the test of TIME. The thread starter stated that few people who listen to GaGa would listen to either Queen or Bowie, but that's hardly true. Bowie and Queen are huge and have massive fanbases that definitely extend into the pop music sphere, a territory that is currently ruled by GaGa.
Anyway, Mercury and David Bowie share few musical similarites with each other. Queen are much more dramatic, and Bowie is a shameless chameleon who hides behind strange imagery. GaGa, an awkward blend of the two.
