As they say, Madonna walked so Gaga could run. Madonna undoubtedly revolutionized the music industry with bold displays, and Lady Gaga followed a similar path. These stars changed the game, but Madonna did it first, blazing the trail for Gaga and others.

If you dig into Ciara's earlier years, you'll notice that at some point, she became obsessed with Janet Jackson.

One boldly comments, “It's really bizarre, and I think the only reason it hasn't been called out more is her general lack of relevance.” That has to sting a little.
