who went "mainstream" with Evita almost twenty years ago.
Perhaps Gaga might also take voice training as well to fine tune her pipes. It helped extend Madonna's range to three octaves.

Madonna never could and still can't sing or dance very well, even when doing it separately. I will give her some musical credit for writing many of her own songs.

Being able to sing octaves doesn't mean you're a better singer. Mariah Carey has 5+ octaves but I'd personally much rather listen to Madonna even though arguably Carey is the better all around singer. There's an X factor there which is why Madonna sells more than anyone else and she's done it for 30+ years.E Stat - Yes she had vocal training before and probably during Evita - although I actually preferred her voice Pre-Evita where she had a rawer lighter breezier sound. For example "This Used to be My Playground" one of my favorites from Madonna (and five years before Auto Tune was invented).

Gaga has been classically trained although it would be interesting to see if Bennett makes some improvements. She did say she has learned a lot from him.
Budget fi - this site analyzes many of today's female singers and their vocal range with strengths and weaknesses. It appears Madonna does indeed have a solid 3 octave range (a bigger range in fact than Adele).Gaga's range is 4 octaves and 1 note according to the link below (how accurate it is - well they show the youtubes of the parts in various songs noting the notes). You have to scroll down for the update because the top says 2.7 octaves http://www.divadevotee.com/2010/10/lady-gaga-vocal-profile.html
I think a lot of the judgements come from whether people "like" the person behind the microphone or not and whether the type of music they sing is their cup of tea or not.
Everyone was in love with the Dixie Chicks and they made a few political comments and CD's were in bonfires. A view of an artist can change in a New York Minute (Thanks Mr. Henley).

Gaga's range is 4 octaves
Not according to the same source you used for Madonna found here. I'll edit to your edit. Note the qualifying in that comment. That supposition is not supported elsewhere either.
As for serious range and control, one of my favorites from high school days is Annie Haslam from the British band Renaissance who has a five octave voice. She can hold a stratospheric note forever...

Whenever I see claims of singing range as 4 octaves or more, the FOS alarm goes off........When one claims a four-octave range, he/she often ignores the fact that hitting the same note over four octaves is actually a three-octave range. (It's like that old fence math problem: If posts are 10 feet apart, how long would a fence be with 10 posts. The answer is NOT 100 feet. It's 90 feet.)
Think about it, even a three octave range is rare with singers..... Amongst the males, the only one I can think of is maybe Paul McCartney...... Amongst the females, Mariah Carey is three octaves.

His speaking voice was pretty deep. Don't mean nuthin'
Your humor is pure dessication, he sang in falsetto.
