Madonna likes Lady Gaga because she has the "IT Factor".
The 51-year-old pop icon was impressed by the 'Paparazzi' singer, who is a self-confessed Madonna fan, from the first time she saw her, even though she was still refining her act.
"When I saw her, she didn't have a lot of money for her production. She had holes in her fishnets, and there were mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she has that IT Factor. It's nice to see that at a raw stage," Madonna told Rolling Stone magazine.
Lady Gaga has cited the Celebration singer as an influence on her career and Madonna insists she can see similarities between them both.
"I see myself in Lady Gaga," she added.
Lady Gaga recently revealed she was thrilled when Madonna attended one of her concerts in New York.
"My sister texted me and she was like, 'Madonna is 15 feet away from me. And there are two guys having sex in the audience. I just remember thinking, 'Wow, this is exactly what I wanted. I've got Madonna and I've got gay sex!' " the pop star - real name Stefani Germanotta - said.
