Neptune 156 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 More like the opposite. At least she realizes she's just a singer, an entertainer. People listen to her music and watch her gigs. She's not going to change the ****ing world and re-invent music and art, or some other delusional crap. Her fans like her, she likes her fans. It's all cool. GaGa behaving like she's the Second Coming is exactly why she's alienated so many fans, especially when she doesn't deliver what she said she would. ARTPOP is a fun, entertaining album. It could've been just that, but instead it's considered a "flop" because she pretended like it would change the world. Same thing goes for BTW. I do appreciate how GaGa behaves towards her fans, though, reading those letters and all. That's sweet! But I'm just pointing out here how I perceive Katy's statement. You know nothing about what Gaga represents, and she's far more than just delivering albums that correspond to what she promises, I guarantee you that. That's what Katy is. It's Gaga's transcendence, constant will to push the boundaries and passion for her art that makes her so much better than Katy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebit 6,240 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 At least Gaga tries to be something. Her ambition is one of the reasons I liked her in the first place. In a sea of Rihanna wannabes and post-Britney pop stars she brought something different. I doubt she would've made the impact she did if she thought of herself as "just an entertainer." Katy should speak for herself. She's pretty much the Wal-Mart of music, and it's no wonder since she keeps on pandering like she does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane 208 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Katy can't understand the connection some us have with Gaga. Katy is a singer people bop along to on the radio. Gaga is an artist who at times gave hope and inspiration to her fans around the world. Katy could never understand what Gaga does. This so much. Katy doesn't understand the depth of a connection an artist like Gaga has with fans. Genuine love is there too. When did she help them feel better about themselves? Inspire them, gave hope, gave them an escape? etc. Katy limits herself as an entertainer that pleases the mainstream ear, nothing more nothing less. If you're not desperate why do you pay radio stations to play your song once every other hour? And this. Love Trumps Hate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioSays 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 well... as a fan I think is very annoying too, the whole "thanks to my fans" like 5-6 times per interview. Sometimes it just don't sound real Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Alright... 1. GaGa totally hyped up ARTPOP. It was supposed to be some revolutionary album that brings art and pop together with an app and whatnot. She said lots of those things. She could've just released it as a fun album. 2. Empowerment songs have been powerful for decades, that's nothing new. I don't know the entire history of pop music, but Express Yourself (unfortunately the only example I can come up with) was about empowerment and released decades ago. 3. edit: I stand corrected. Angelina's facial features for Maleficent were indeed inspired by GaGa's look. :) 4. BTW tour is in like the top 20 at most? Top 15 of the decade I think. And where are you getting your facts from that BTW is the second best selling album of this decade so far? That's a legit question, not a sarcastic one. Unrelated to your post and related to 50% of the replies in this thread: Holy crap I didn't know this forum was full of puerile 5th graders. What's up with all the Katy Perry hate? Maybe her management does that, hm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 23,591 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 People are dragging the **** out of her on RS facebook page too. Poor creature _ Anyway, I was thinking about this and I think Katy didn't shade Gaga, she offended milions of fans who think Gaga saved them or have found inspiration in her persona. I - personally - don't need to be saved by Gaga and her music, but I RESPECT all the fans who believe in that kind of power inside Gaga's music. That's what Katy did today: disrespected all those people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychedelic 1,098 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 OMG! This is all so tragic! From Katy's side, from little monters' side and even Gaga's side because of this; She does have a valid point, though. Some Little Monsters are way too obsessed with Gaga. Even worse, sometimes it seems like Gaga takes fan criticism too seriously to the point of detriment to her happiness and her work. Does anyone remember Gaga's and Katy's tweets in support to each other's releases last year? :toofloppy: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,240 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Also one last thing: I find it interesting that one of the main thing others seem to drag Gaga the most about is her love for her fans. Like..what even. Why is anyone other than Gaga's fans even bothered by this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
