Older And CC

[Blind Gossip] Many years ago, Older thought she was destined to win the Oscar for Best Lead Actress. She had poured her heart into the role, which required both acting and singing. She thought she was great and that she would be rewarded with an Academy Award.

It turns out that she did not even get nominated for the role. She got snubbed. She took that personally.

Older was recently asked by someone whether or not she was going to see the new movie in which Younger acts and sings.

[Older] just laughed and referred to [Younger] as “CC” so I doubt she’s going to see it.

What does CC stand for?

Copycat.

    If it’s Madge and Gaga, well I think overall Madge is just amazing. It’s hard to conceive of now, but she really blazed her way through everything. There is no Gaga without her.
    As for acting… I respect that she tries but Madge doesn’t seem capable of true vulnerability. It’s impossible to be a great actor with that limitation. Evita was just not meaty enough or compelling. She wasn’t horrible in it like in other films. She did a competent job. That’s an improvement, but not Oscar-worthy.

  2. StrawberryLetter32 says

    Older: Madonna
    Younger: Gaga
    Both have way too big of egos to ever be great actresses!
    M has reinvented her style/sound successfully countless times while still remaining physically recognizable & an international trendsetter. She’s THE originator of uninhibited female performances.
    G on the other hand has NOT been so successful in the “reinvention” category- sound nor “style”- and now resembles Mrs Potato Head or Play-doh.

  3. StrawberryLetter32 says

    Yes, def Madonna. No Oscar for her Evita- tho she won a Globe for it. In one of M’s songs the lyrics read: “You’re a copycat, Where is my royalty?…” Which sounds like she’s referring to Gaga’s “Born This Way” sounding like her “Express Yourself”. Which it does…

  4. CuriousGeorgette says

    Pretty sure “Older” is Madonna and “Younger” is Lady Gaga. It’s sad that Madonna can’t just give credit where credit is due.

  5. boyjack4 says

    I thought Streisand but was surprised if she’d commented like that. She seems too gracious. However I’m now sure it’s Madonna who expected to win an Oscar and didn’t get it. She’s definitely far more likely to make that catty statement.

  6. bacgirl says

    Older is Madonna (Evita), CC is Lady Gaga. Streisand already has an Oscar. There is no doubting LG’s talent and ability imo. Madonna cannot act for toffee.

  7. FullofNope says

    Older: Madonna (Evita)
    Younger: Gaga (ASIB)

    Barbra Streisand already has a best actress oscar for her performance in a movie musical (Funny Girl), so it doesn’t make sense that it’s her.

  8. cindycgy says

    Older: Madonna in Evita

    Younger: Gaga in A Star Is Born

    Overall, Madonna is more talented and intelligent. She is the original who came up with NEW IDEAS. All Gaga has done is to copy every step Madonna made. Gaga is reductive

  9. Monysmom says

    Older: Madonna

    Younger: Lady Gaga

    [Optional] Who do you think is more talented, Older or Younger? Younger

  15. CuriousNewt says

    Can’t be Barbara Streisand as she received a songwriting Oscar for A Star is Born… Although the size of her ego, which reportedly made filming of that movie well-nigh unbearable, would give a veneer of truth to the claim. I fear “CC”, de-acronymised, is unprintable…

  19. Lemlog87 says

    Barbara Striesand

    Lady Gaga

    Both very talented but Striesand has been brilliant in many roles. Gaga hasn’t proven herself, yet.

  21. Beakerange says

    Beyonce
    Lady Gaga
    Tricky one. I used to love Queen Bey but not so much anymore. Gaga is growing on me. I seem to remember that Bey wasn’t happy when Jennifer Hudson got the Oscar which she assumed she would get.

  27. laura1083 says

    Barbra Streisand

    Lady Gaga

    I saw Barbra on a recent interview and she said she had seen it though?? So, not sure…

  28. crayola says

    Streisand and Gaga in their respective gigs in remaking the original A Star is Born . I’d say Streisand has more talent – like her or not she’s legend status

  30. yo1774 says

    This is Madonna and Lady Gaga.
    I love Madonna (even she is becoming a grumpy old woman) but there’s a big difference between her and Gaga, Gaga can sing and act.

    By the way i find funny that after all those rumours about how disaster was A star was born it turned to be a good movie with great performances

  36. dadiegirl says

    Babs and Gaga.

    Both talented, but Barbra Streisand didn’t need all the theatrics. Lady Gaga’s theatrics are a sign of insecurity. The meat dress, etc.

  38. KlaireBear says

    Not sure about older, but younger could be Lady Gaga. I think Lady Gaga is very talented, and furthermore I have read from numerous people that she is a very genuine, kind person.

  40. Appleton says

    Older Christina Aguilera

    Younger Lady Gaga

    I think Christina is the better singer and overall performer but Lady Gaga has found her true talent in acting. They just have different strengths.

  44. spunkfunker says

    Madonna

    Gaga

    Madonna obviously, she never had to resort to gimmicks to get us to pay attention to her. Well maybe a cone bra lol

  54. keenobserver says

    It’s too bad Madonna can’t not be obnoxious. Can you imagine if she and gaga could work together?

  55. badgerette85 says

    A Star is born
    Barbra Streisand
    Lady GaGa

    Streisand more talented tho appreciate LGG’s artistry.

  56. GreeleyMan says

    Older: Madonna
    Younger: Gaga
    They’re both talented in their own ways. I don’t think Gaga will have the longevity of Madonna.

  58. DecoGd says

    Older is Madonna and younger is Lady Gaga in A Star is Born. Madonna was amazing in Evita in 1996 and robbed of any Oscar recognition. I have watched that film many times and Madonna’s performance was near perfect IMO. Madonna is the greater artist, but Lady Gaga is amazing too. All art borrows from things that have been done in the past. Lady Gaga probably was influenced by Madonna, and Madonna should be cool about it. Women Need to Support Women.

  62. Viv82216 says

    Older: Madonna (Evita)

    Younger: Lady Gaga (A Star is Born)

    Madonna was a trailblazer, but Gaga’s got better singing/acting chops.

  63. lovetheblazer says

    Older: Madonna in Evita

    Younger: Gaga in A Star is Born

    Optional: Gaga, hands down…

  67. gunther85 says

    Madonna
    Lady Gaga
    I think Gaga might have an edge on Madge with singing and acting. Dancing and showmanship has always been M’s strong point, not her voice.

  68. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Older: Barbra Streisand

    Younger: Lady GaGa

    [Optional] Who do you think is more talented, Older or Younger? Older

  70. babette says

    Barbra Streisand & Lady Gaga.

    As much as I want to like Gaga and respect her as an artist something seems a little off with her..

  71. celebiddy says

    Barbara is jelly of lady gaga. They are both incredibly talented but i gotta go team gaga! I’m a huge fan of her music and acting and can’t wait to see ASIB!

  72. Lucywagner says

    Older: Madonna

    Younger: Lady Gaga

    [Optional] Who do you think is more talented, Older or Younger? I honestly think Lady Gaga is more talented – I just wish she would stop being the person she thinks everyone wants her to be, and show her true self. She is an amazing singer.

    I did however play Madonna’s Evita soundtrack constantly on my Discman when the movie came out. I loved that soundtrack 🙂

  73. calumsmom says

    Madonna & Lady Gaga. Gaga definitely has a better voice, but Madonna has been around since ancient times. Whether or not that means she’s got talent is up for debate.

  74. BeauSo says

    Older: Madonna (she wanted that Oscar for “Evita”)
    Younger: Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”)
    CC: Carbon Copy

  75. OhIthinknot says

    Barbra Streisand speaking about Lady Gaga.

    Lady Gaga is more talented, and less cranky and less full of herself.

  76. lanter says

    Older is Beyonce, who’s still salty over not getting an Oscar for Dreamgirls.
    Younger is Lady Gaga who is earning raves for A Star is Born, which Beyonce had been attached to for many years. I would find it quite amusing if Lady Gaga won an Oscar for a role Beyonce passed on.
    Beyonce is talented, but I have always found her to be a bit overrated and she does not seem to have much of a personality. Lady Gaga is a true musician and she is willing to take artistic chances, I respect that…

  84. annabelle77 says

    Older: Madonna. Younger: Lady Gaga. This must be killing Madonna. (Gaga’s success in A Star Is Born).

  86. boyjack4 says

    Barbara Streisand
    Lady Gaga
    They’re both wickedly talented but Barbara is a legend. No-one can take that away from her. I hope she wasn’t so catty. To say this.

  88. gailpow says

    Older: Barbra Streisand.
    Younger: Lady Gaga.
    Barbra is jealous & resentful of the Oscar buzz Gaga is currently getting for the new A Star is Born remake.

  89. leishd83 says

    Barbara Streisand
    A Star is born
    cc that films be made that many times she’s also a Cc

  98. angelbratt says

    Older – Barbara-she should have been nominated and should have won!

    Younger is lady Gaga! The movie is a Star is born!

  102. anarchistlibrarian says

    this *must* be barbra and gaga, for “a star is born”!

    they’re both incredibly talented, with wonderful voices, but i’ve gotta say i still can’t listen to “born this way”. even though i love the message of the song, all i can hear is madonna’s “express yourself” – it’s really quite blatant, whether it was intentional or not. :/

  103. LeelooDallas1 says

    This is Madonna who thought she’d get an Oscar for Evita.

    As for whose more talented?
    Eh they can both sing, dance and act, but Gaga is the better singer and slightly better actress.

  104. noblegiftfrommars says

    Older: Madonna

    Younger: Lady Gaga

    They’re both talented, but I think Madonna is more versatile musically.

  105. Conchord says

    This obviously Barbra Streisand. She won a Golden Globe for acting in the 70s version of A Star is Born, but was not nominated for Best Actress. Of course the younger one is Lady Gaga.

  109. luddite2 says

    Bitter Barbara dissing Lady Gaga. Streisand to me has always been overrated, LG is more talented.

  110. MiaIrish says

    Madonna and Lady Gaga

    I have to give it to Gaga… she’s a decent actress but her pipes put her above Madge for me.

  112. VioletBlue says

    Older: Madonna in “Evita”
    Younger: Lady Gaga in “A Star Is Born”

    Optional: Gaga is more talented – good singing voice. Too early to judge her acting skills. Madonna is a bad actress, only OK in movies where she played a version of herself. She’s too narcissistic to lose her ego to inhabit another character. Madonna & Gaga have regularly copied the images of other celebs, Madonna even more so. Older copycat is accusing Younger copycat of doing the same thing? How reductive and…

  113. foraccts says

    Movie: A Star is Born
    Older: Barbra Streisand
    Younger: Lady GaGa
    I haven’t seen GaGa act so I can’t really say who is more talented.

  116. goose grease says

    Madonna
    Lady Gaga
    Lady Gaga is a much better actor and singer (although Madonna is a great business woman!)

  117. Ramblingirl says

    Barbara Streisand and Lady Gaga

    Hard to say. I can barely listen to BS because of her politics. So Lady Gaga Wins.

  129. caela94 says

    older- Madonna – no Oscar nom for Evita
    cc- Lady Gaga who obviously influenced by Madonna

  133. ZedsDead says

    Older: Babs
    Younger: Gaga
    Older is definitely more talented, although younger is no slouch as an ‘entertainer.’

  135. SilverLining says

    Older: Madonna

    Younger: Lady Gaga

    [Optional] I think overall they’re about equally talented. I do think younger is a more natural musician where older is more business savvy with regard to obtaining success in the music industry. They’re both very creative in their own ways, but I can see how younger could have been inspired by older.

  136. travio says

    Older: Streisand
    Younger: Gaga
    Both remaking A Star is Born.

    Neither are my cup of tea but they both have talent.

  137. GrannyGoose says

    Older: Barbra Streisand
    Younger: Lady Gaga

    Optional: Pfffft! Barbra has more talent in her little toe than Gaga has everywhere

  139. Synapse3 says

    Madonna and Gaga. Sorry Madge, but Gaga is no copycat. For one thing–she can actually sing, and sing magnificently.

  141. OkCool says

    Madonna in Evita
    The overrated and mediocre in every way, the queen copycat herself- Lady Gaga

  144. GooglyMoogly says

    Madonna
    Lady Gaga

    I think Madonna is more talented, although Gaga has a better singing voice. Madonna is Queen of Marketing/Promotion/Shock Value. I have to admire her skill in that area…

  145. NYCBunny says

    Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga, of course.

    Barbra is the more talented of the two. A dear friend gave her several of her earliest breaks, promoting and featuring her whenever he could. People took note at first because he was a huge star, and then her voice blew them away. It’s hard to achieve her level of success only to watch the move on with time.

  146. gossipzillaisback says

    The movie MUST BE Mamma mia. First came out in 2008, with a sequel out earlier this year. It’s the only “playing and singing” movie with a sequel who came out recently.
    Actress can’t be Meryl Streep – she was nominated for another movie that year, and I can’t see her being bitter about an award since she won so many. So…

    Older: Amanda Seyfried

    Younger: Lily James

    [Optional] Who do you think is more talented, Older or Younger? Don’t know younger enough. I like AS since Veronica…

  148. slmck21 says

    Obviously

    Older: Barbra Streisand

    Younger: Lady Gaga

    [Optional] Who do you think is more talented, Older or Younger? I think they are both very talented but of 2 very different generations

  152. thisisannoying says

    I was going to say Meryl Streep for Mamma Mia as Older, but this makes more sense:

    Older: Madonna for Evita
    Younger: Lady Gaga for A Star is Born

    IMO the movie looks cringey for me. As for talent – eh.. obviously Lady Gaga is the better singer by far, but Madonna also has an impressive career and I don’t think it’s that fair to compare them

  154. High Steppa says

    Streisand and Gaga for A Star is Born. Streisand is loaded with talent. Gaga is also talented but has a ways to go before she becomes an icon like Streisand.

  156. TNSunny says

    Older: Barbra Streisand
    Younger: Lady Gaga

    Most talented? Streisand and it’s not even close. BTW I’m not a fan of Barbra’s music or politics.

  161. Pinkieswear says

    I’m guessing this is about GaGa in “A Star is Born “.

    They’re both incredibly talented and insufferable.

    Babs is more talented, though.

  163. ashleyb234 says

    Madonna
    Gaga

    Gaga is more talented and versatile. She’s shown that she can actually sing and dance live. She’s an Oscar nominated songwriter and worked HARD on this new movie. She wrote the music and did a great job acting.. can’t hate on that

  164. Catseyezzz says

    I have no idea but for some reason Annette Benning comes to mind… being the older actress.

    • wfreshie says

      after checking…this is madonna because barbara had already won best actress oscar in 1969 for “funny girl”

    • OhYeah says

      Barbra has two Oscars. This is about Madonna in Evita.

      I can see why Madonna would feel threatened because Gaga’s basically taking the baton that Madonna created & she’s running with it. But that’s how it is when you make a career out of trend setting. Kids aren’t going to to look an old person for new trends.

    • Lurky Lou says

      Barbra already had a Best Lead Actress award, and won for Composing a song for A Star Is Born. This has to be Madonna in Evita.
