I have waited forty years for a song written by a woman to rival the depth and power of Bobbie Gentry's 'Ode to Billie Joe' and 'Fancy' This comes close, a classic in the making.

whatever, she had a #1 dance single off Burlesque and it sold squat. To suggest that was even close to a major hit is just absurd. Having said that, I do think its a crime she has not been inducted into the rock&roll hall of fame. She is a legend, no one is disputing that.

@LadyGAGALoverable really? 'Judas' hands down worst song of 2011 and possibly of the decade. It ended Gagas impressive streak of #1 singles. Her second album 'Born This Way' has received nasty, negative reviews by most major music publications coast to coast. Madonna evolved into a great artis...

KUDOS to Britney Spears for refusing to kiss Gaga at the VMA'S last night. Gaga was presenting Britney with the video vanguard award in male drag and tried to re-create the famous Madonna- Britney kiss. Britney pulled away and said"sorry I've already done this before" yet another example of Gag...

Did anyone catch Gaga's bizzare male drag performance on the VMA's last night?. I have not seen that much mugging since I was in German bar in Berlin. This woman will never need a Depends - she's totally self absorded.

@aZnemilbee That's because she sampled the song and unlike Gaga actually PAID the Abba writers. She even gave Abba a grand shout out in the liner notes.

@strawberryseason. It was from the fall of 1967 according to The Smothers Brothers auto-biography. She obviously would not have been promoting songs from her first album in 1968 or 1969 . By the end of 1968 she had already released three studio albums and her million selling duets album with Gle...

The idea that Madonna at near 53 has to compete with Lady Gaga is a pathetic joke. She has NOTHING to prove. She will forever be the top selling female vocalist of all time. Can anyone imagine where Lady Gaga will be in thirty years? I don't believe she will have an album out like 'Hard Candy' w...

@Gaysupport69 Honey, its not a "version" its the original by the artist who wrote it. Bobbie's single also had the biggest impact on the Billboard charts. #31 pop,#26 country #8 adult contemporary and #65 r&b. In Canada, #1 country,#26 pop and #8 adult contemporary. It spent four months on the ...

They need to put the songwriter of this classic, Bobbie Gentry, in The Nashvillie Songwriters hall of fame. Her 'Ode to BillieJoe' has sold near 50 million records on a 100+ covers and her composition 'Fancy' has has sold 20 million on a dozen covers. Master jazz piainst, Bill Evans, turned her s...

Lady Gaga's ' Born This Way' album is manic mess. Madonna musically evolded with her records not regressing like Gaga into the musical souls of others. Forget Gaga, the story of 2011 is Adele and her album'21'.

Whats really sad about the 'Born This Way' album is the total regression from the great, funky dance beats of her first. Maybe its her sophmore jink but the album is a manic mess. Brian Gaynor and D.J White Shadow claim they were the head writers of 17 of the 20 songs. Regardless, she is co...

Great vocals, he carries this classic ballad instead of being smothered by it.
