Lady Gaga the new Michael Jackson?

Lady Gaga has been compared to Michael Jackson by her `Telephone` producer.

London: Pop singer Lady Gaga has been compared to Michael Jackson by producer Rodney Jerkins who worked with her on "Telephone".

"We haven`t seen an artist like Gaga in a long time, we haven`t seen an artist that really has no fear. I remember Michael Jackson used to tell me he was crucified for doing `Thriller`, but he had to do what he felt was needed at that time. I`m just happy to be part of history," contactmusic.com quoted Jerkins as saying. "I`ve always wanted to leave my stamp on music, and to be able to say that I worked with Michael Jackson and now I`m working with Lady Gaga, who`ll probably go down in history as one of the best female entertainers of all time."
