Madonna speaks about Michael Jackson at the start of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York (September 13 2009)
“I really don’t like to compare the artists that I work with, because they are all so unique and so different,” he told MTV News about the Gaga/Madonna similarities. “One thing for sure is that Gaga is a true artist. She’s really a huge talent, and she’s such a hard worker. That makes me think of Madonna, because Madonna is always such a hard worker, more than anybody else.”
Like Madonna, Gaga also has a unique vision. “She’s always very creative,” he said of Madge. “She always goes back to creativity. She has so much politics around and all these stupid rumors and gossip and all that, and some artists manage to stay above that. So in that sense, I’m fine with comparing [Gaga and Madonna], but then again, they’re so different.”
»kerlund said he and Gaga have a long road ahead of them before they can have the relationship he has with the Queen of Pop. “I also have 12 years with Madonna and I have two videos with Gaga; it’s the future to tell, but I think that Gaga has all the potential and all the tools and all the brain to take her creativity as far she wants to,” he said. “But she’s great.
“Madonna was early to be one of those artists who thought more about the concept then just focusing on the one thing,” he continued. “And Gaga — that comes naturally for her. She sees her character and her career, and I’m happy to be part of it … but it’s not me; it’s her. Everything comes from her.”

I understand you did a Madonna cover….
Yes, “Oh Father.” I personalized the words to make sense to me.
Have you met Madonna before?
Never. But I grew up wearing fingerless gloves because of her. Then one day about three years ago she put one of my songs, a remix of “Breathe Me,” on her iTunes playlist. She said it was a great song to work out to. Then I got excited, because someone who was staying at my house was working for this jeans company and Madonna had asked for a bunch of their jeans. This girl was packaging the jeans at my house, so I slipped a note in one of the boxes for Madonna and said, “Hi, this is Sia. You put my song on your iTunes playlist and I wanted to say thanks. I love you.” And that’s the extent of our relationship.
Did she find the note?
I doubt it. But if she tried on the jeans I’ve come pretty close to her bum! [Laughs]
