Lady
GaGa is showy, creative, and focuses on being really far out there to
the point where some of her stuff might have been though up on drugs.
Sure she can't dance, but she can write songs pretty well and she looks
cool and appeals to the youth, since the youth are the consumers, she
will be popular and successful, but don't confuse that with being truly
great.
Michael Jackson on the other hand was fucking fantastic
in every way. He can dance like a madman, he can sing like an angel,
and his outfits are pretty cool. He's not as far out or wacky as Lady
GaGa, but he does crazy shit off camera that gets him in trouble
sometimes. Michael has a legend in the past, he was much better back in
his hay day, but his stuff has not waned in quality.
So while
American comics are better, they are old and have had they're hay day.
Japanese comics aren't as good, but because they are current and aimed
at the youth, they are doing well right now. But who will we remember?
Who will be the legend who's name everyone knows? I bet your ass it
won't be GaGa. |
