The above pic of Lady Gaga reminds us of the "Borderline" Madonna era, which got us to thinking: Is Gaga following in Madonna's path, or trailblazing a whole new one? One without sex scandals and publicity stunt marriages. How would a young Madonna stack up in the industry in 2010? We actually think Lady Gaga is pretty damn fierce. She sticks to entertaining us with her music and her way out self-imagery but we can't help but compare her to Madonna in her younger, wilder days.
