Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga…
I am a MASSIVE Michael Jackson fan, and I’m just about as big a fan of Lady Gaga too. Gaga is preserving many of his clothes and her and Jacksons teams were planning to have her open and participate in his This Is It show. When you watch her shows you can see soooo much of his influence, but also she is so uniquely and authentically her own. Jackson often expressed admiration for her and said she was the next big thing. I really and truly think that a kinship between these two would have been incredible, and that they would have become great friends. This could be a dramatic and perhaps far fetched idealization of them both, but I truly feel like if they joined forces, theres a good chance the impact they have and had on the world would have been ten fold what it was individually.
When I think about the fact we will never get to see these two share a stage, duet, or even just feature on the same track it makes me sick. I would have loved to see what they could create together.
What do you think a This Is It show featuring Lady Gaga would have been like? What sort of collaborations do you think we would have seen?
