I do agree that Adele's music is less disposable than GaGa. Her album reminds me of Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill" so much. Everyone had a copy of it. Everyone remembers it and loves the music, but as time went on, people started checking for her less and less.
If GaGa is able to pull bigger numbers next album or even sustain the numbers she has now, as an artist, she'll be remembered far more than Adele. I just don't see Adele trying to snatch wigs for the next 10 years. She screams novelty to me. Most of the talented ones are. They have a hard time living up to their big moment. Look at Lauryn, Alanis, Norah, etc.
I agree. Really good observations - I can see Gaga being remembered in ten years time over Adele but the album 21 itself will be fondly regarded as a classic in ten years for the impact its had on the public. There is or could be a similiar Alanis/Jagged Little Pill syndrome to it.
Not to completely disagree with David's entire argument. If GaGa doesn't get her ish together with her 3rd album, she is also likely to become a novelty. She has to really prove herself.
Yeah, its a valid point - I was saying before, her third album will really be the tester. If she sells a lot less than 5 million then public interest is rapidly fading in Gaga and she's heading the way of your typical pop star. If she can stabalise her average sales around 5 million then I don't think she has anything to worry about and her audience is quite settled.
