More and more, Lady Gaga’s work has been compared to Madonna’s. The video clip “Alejandro” was directed by Steven Klein, our queen of pop’s sweetheart. But, before all that, the young singer had looked for our all Brazilian Giovanni Bianco to do the cover of her first album.
* ”It’s a very crazy story… Two years ago she invited me and I was frantically finishing Madonna’s ‘Stick & Sweet’ tour. By the time, I was a little ignorant because I only listened to her music and saw her image but I wasn’t inspired and decided not to do it. I don’t regret it, but it would have been very nice. I think it lacked on vision”, he told with some sorrow.
* Despite all frissons about Lady Gaga, he shoots: “She is not Madonna and I think that if we weren’t in a world of internet and communication Lady Gaga wouldn’t be Lady Gaga. Madonna broke many rules in fashion, music, and attitude. Gaga is a union of all that, a chaos, she’s very smart and talented and plays very well. Her concert is wonderful. I think she has bigger instruments so she can last a very long time”.
