Lady Gaga has been likened to Michael Jackson - superproducer Rodney Jerkins insists the eccentric singer has the potential to build a career to rival the late King of Pop's.
Jerkins worked with the late superstar on his final studio album, 2001's Invincible, and produced Gaga's latest hit single Telephone.
The music mogul admits he is extremely impressed with Gaga, and he's adamant she can become a music legend just like Jackson.
He tells People.com, "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.
"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."
Jerkins' praise comes just a day after GaGa became the first artist to clock up more than one billion views on video sharing website YouTube.com, thanks to her promos for Poker Face, Just Dance and Bad Romance.
