Lady 748 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I hardly ever post. But this one will make me: So many people act like this is some sort of horse race between female pop stars and whether or not someone has a hit single out right now is the determining factor in the world of music. That's missing the entire point. Gaga has trancended this "now" level and has been entering legendary status for a quite a while. Shes flying above all that mess. This doesn't mean every single needs to be number one (Katy proves that it really only means you have a hit single, not much more), and as a counter example= Madonna is considered one of the greatest of all time...do you realize how many of her songs/albums weren't instant hits? (Same goes for practically anyone including MJ) Gaga creates quality, she sets the bar in a variety of ways, the whole world still watches everything she does, nothing appears out of depseration, she is clearly going for the "long-career", she is working with legends that call her an equal (or at least a legend in the early stages of her overall career), and she's doing it all while remaining fascinating to every one from Anderson Cooper to my Grandparents and their friends. If you want to understand how hit singles don't always mean the whole story, read about Taylor Dayne: 18 top ten hits in the 80's (that she wrote) 1.5 of which have stayed in the zeitgeist, and is otherwise relatively forgotten. Legends of Showbiz is about the long game, and Gaga's playing some damn good hands. Bravo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsdominik 16,733 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm sure you noticed Gaga retweeted my tweet about her being "The most powerful Popstar" in 2014. Lots of people people thought it was fake. Now the GuinnessWorldRecords tweeted me this: GuinnessWorldRecordsVerifizierter Account â€@GWR @austriamonster Thanks for sharing the news AustriaMonster : ) #gwr60 https://twitter.com/GWR/status/509765012790181889 So happy :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnite 8 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 says a lot about their criteria for what makes someone "powerful" when you have as lacklustre a year as gaga has. probably the most unimpressive of her entire career for me. and i am not talking about how much money she made.
