Madonna’s music director goes gaga over Lady Gaga
Eccentric pop diva Lady Gaga has been applauded as the next Queen of Pop by none other than the maverick music video director Jonas Åkerlund, the creator of Madonna’s award winning “Ray of Light” video.
The Swedish filmmaker who has made some iconic and innovative music videos for powerhouses such as Metallica, Christina Aguilera, U2, Satyricon, Blink-182 and P!nk was the maker of the controversial TELEPHONE video for Lady Gaga after collaborating with her for her previous video of Paparazzi. The nine minute clip replete with sexually explicit and inflammatory content has stirred up quite a hornets’ nest with various television networks expressing their reluctance to screen it. The 44 year old talented film director could not help comparing the 23 year old Grammy award winning Lady Gaga with the iconic pop queen Madonna, who was known for her penchant for pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos despite earning the wrath of the Vatican.
Åkerlund told MTV that pop sensation Lady Gaga, is indeed, “a true artist” and “such a hard worker” endowed with “huge talent” comparing her to the hyper-ambitious Material Girl. He also lavished praises on both the chart-topping singers for their ability to rise above scathing criticisms and politics and create amazing music and videos which would revolutionize the pop culture.
