'Katy Perry has more self-written songs in her debut album than Gaga.'

[Andy McQueen 4,484]

Not true. 

[Rino 5,120]

somewhere in another universe probably

[Ladey Gagz 2,512]

Are people here still mad about Katy? I thought it was known that she could very well write her own songs.

THR: She’s credited as a co-writer on most songs from Born This Way, what percentage of the songwriting would you say she’s responsible for?

 

Garibay: She doesn't need anyone to write a hit song. A lot of times, it’s 100% her. She's generous enough to give the producers who worked on this album a percentage of the songwriting for the production and whatever contributions we gave in arrangement or a few lyrical suggestions here and there.

Gaga wrote all of them, what are they talking about

​Self-written, only one songwriter.

 

I can't at people coming here saying: it's a joke or lol not true, without knowing ****  

[Bloody Matt 5,357]

Gosh how can I sleep now that I know this?

[Bio 23,538]

It's actually true tho. Gaga's only written two songs by herself, You and I and Speachless.

​Queen of generosity 

This thread will be a mess tho

This. She gives credit for very small tweaks like Sun Ra on Venus for Rocket #9

I do like Kathy and I know she writes (even for other artists, like with Black Widow) but.. how can this actually be true what they said?  Can someone do the math and check this?

[Lion Heart 15,041]

It's technically true though?  

 

Katy Hudson self written songs: 4

The Fame self written songs: 0

 

I'm aware that Gaga gives songwriting credit to the producers, but technically speaking the tweet is true. And even then: WHO CARES? Tired of Monsters being so butthurt over Katy. 

 

 

[Lassex 1,169]

Katy Perry - (debut album inlcuding bonus tracks) -  14

Lady Gaga - (The Fame, including bonus tracks) - 17

​I guess they meant songs that are written ''alone'' by the artist

​Gaga has two songs with only one songwriter: Y&I and Speechless. 

Katy has 4 on her debut and 3 on One of the Boys. 

[Psychedelic 1,098]

The only truth is that they both write songs, God knows in what percentage they're self-written. Nobody has really been with either of these ladies during their writing sessions.

That said, this thread will be a disaster  

[Haroon 49,685]

There's nothing wrong with that fact  I don't see any problem with songs being fully written or co-written or whatever, if the song is good at the end of the day then who cares  Both Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are talented songwriters, I thought most people already knew that
