at her age and with children Im sure Madonna doesnt stress too much about it either these days. She has other priorities and less ambition.

Gaga has 25 years to go before she has been making music as long as Madonna. Do you seriously think Gaga will be relevant in 2036? Probably not even 2016 at the rates she's plummeting in credibility right now.

and she can only wish her flat ass looks this good in 25 years time..

Well I don't think Smithy is talking about chart positions. He's pointed out that Madonna has begun to fade out of the musical spotlight. Sure she'll keep making music but imo she reached her peak long ago. If Hard Candy is anything to go by then it shows that Madge is only gonna go further downhill.

And yes I believe Gaga will be relevant in 30 years time. She was the first person to get a billion views on YouTube and she is or is one of the most downloaded artists of all time - so that alone will keep her remembered.

Also BTW is going to be some of her best work ever. With songs like Edge of Glory (a massive power ballad with club beats) and Hair (a RedOne produced inspirational song) not to mention a host of other songs, I think she's gonna be here for a long while.

Btw, I enjoy Madonna's work as well if you're thinking I'm a hater.
