Why do you think Gaga dislikes Katy?

[PopBitch 1,218]

Gaga does dislike her and is clearly bothered by her, hence the shade she has given in tweets and in interviews, just without saying her name.

[lego 44,165]

because

[Bitter 3,640]

because she has more hits than her.

 

[Applause 650]

I think Katy has a thing against Gaga (maybe jealousy based on the way she throws shade at Gaga; indirectly). I think Gaga tries to avoid Katy, in a way.. I don't think she hates her.. But.. I think if Katy keeps going in the direction she does against Gaga, I think there will be a clash similar to the Madonna+Gaga thing.

 

That's just my opinion though. 

[Sia Daily 2,045]

They have a professional relationship in terms of being pleasant to each other but I very much doubt they interact or have interacted at all tbh

[Probglum 824]

[Battle 4 Ur Life 6,716]

excuse me but her comment at SXSW don't necessarily imply that she dislikes Katy. she's just stating how DRASTICALLY different they are from each other. which is absolutely true.

you're reaching.

Katy doesn't uses writers. She writes all her own songs and if you have anything to argue about that, argue it with Greg Wells http://tmi.me/1eYnGp Lack of talent as a singer? Umm, ok. I am just going to leave this here. http://youtu.be/zMu783wlGY4 (Btw, this is just one example of her excellent and brilliant live vocal performances. She has many more) I don't know what you mean exactly by lack of artistic direction in her videos/performances. Katy's performances and videos don't lack artistic direction just because they're most of the times colorful, fun, poppy, and mainstream. Both Katy and Gaga came out around the same time. They released their debut singles on the same month of 2008 (Just Dance - April 8th, and I Kissed A Girl - April 28th), and both of their first mainstream albums were released in the same year (2008). But Katy's career picked off right away with I Kissed A Girl and the release of the One Of The Boys album in 2008, whereas it took Gaga some time for her career and stardom to pick off. And Gaga became popualr in 2009, whereas Katy had coreography in her videos and performances, and wore wacky costumes/outfits in 2008. So...

There is no need to act so defensive. My post was in no way an attack on Katy.

1) I did call Katy a singer song-writer. Yes she writes her own songs we know that, however she does have help from Bonnie Mckee (who notoriously gave her the concept for Teenage Dream) and Sia (Katy wanted Pretty Hurts that was eventually sung by Beyonce). She also predominantly works with Dr Luke and Max Martin two of the biggest pop producers in the world.

2) Katy isn't the worst singer imaginable, but she is hardly a vocal powerhouse. She isn't a talented vocalist. She is fine, but I doubt Christina, Blake, Cee Lo or Adam Levine  would bother turning their chairs for her on The Voice.

3) What I mean by a lack of artistic direction in her performances is this. Lady Gaga gets a call from MTV, they want her to perform and Gaga says she wants to hang dead and bleeding from the ceiling. She wrote Paparazzi herself, came up with the idea behind the music video and had a clear message she wanted to send. Katy on the other hand works with people who plan her performances, her Grammy's performance "By The Grace" is an example of that. Nothing wrong with that, like you mentioned they are "most of the times colorful, fun, poppy, and mainstream". That's exactly what I'm pointing out so I don't understand why you are acting as if I'm dragging Katy to the pitts. 

4) Katy was in no way whacky before Gaga blew up. She wore cute outfits. She was among many pop acts including Nicki Minaj who were encouraged to get more crazy and wacky with their outfits after Gaga's huge success. Katy's performances were pretty basic because she wasn't big enough yet to work with the right people. 

 

 

 

See what I mean by the difference, Gaga has an educated approach to her performances.

That's no way an attack on Katy, just an acknowledgment on their differences. The point of Katy Perry is to be marketable. When Katy writes her songs, with a little help from Bonnie/Sia/Max Martin/Dr Luke her intent is to write huge hits not an album. Her music videos are commercials that are intended to reach a particular demographic.

Lady Gaga is still marketable, but Gaga writes her songs entirely herself with her producers occasionally offering the change something like one word to better fit the production. She writes songs like Dope and Swine that discuss heavy topics such as addiction and rape. The intent of those songs isn't for them to reach #1 on every chart worldwide. Her music videos are an extension of the song and an opportunity for more creative expression. She isn't putting horns on her face because she think that might appeal to this certain group, or covering her face with paint in order to look pretty.

If you enjoy Katy that's ok. Nothing wrong with that, I mean that genuinely. I like coca-cola but I know that coca-cola has been heavily marketed towards me for my entire life.

Why do you think Gaga dislikes Katy?

The "What **** do I have to do with Katy Perry? Our music is so different, we can't be more different actually" comment at the SXSW Interview

The fact they never take pictures together at Awards Shows (After 2011- When Katy's commercial success started to get bigger than Gaga's) while they both take pictures with alot of people. They seem to ignore each other nowadays.

What's weird is that they both tweeted each other at the beginning of the Roar, Applause eras like they were friends.

There is obviously something going on there between them. What do you think is the reason for it?

You never know?

Here some hints:

I stan for Katy and I agree completely with what you said  Some mmay see those points as negative ones, but I don't mind them and still like her but all the points were true 

[User 352]

When Katy writes her songs, with a little help from Bonnie

​

I must correct you.

​Bonnie McKee is a professional songwriter and SHE wrote the biggest hits for Katy Perry, her input is VERY HEAVY, she knows how to write typical radio hits - it could been her songs without Katy (;   But they are only hits WITH Katy.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Bonnie_McKee 

Katy wouldn't be able to do it without her. That's why Katy collaborate with her everytime, she needs her.

She wrote the biggest hits for her like Roar, Part of Me, Wide Awake, California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Unconditionally, The one That Got Away.

She is the real lyrical musician behind Katy Perry

​Hell I'm studying screen production/film. I know there are films that have more artistic credibility than Transformers, but I went to see Transformers and it was fun! 

That's really my attitude towards Katy. I'm not really a big fan personally but I fully understand how people could be. She is beautiful, her songs are extremely catchy and her videos and performances are very fun and poppy. There is nothing wrong with that at all, Katy is a great popstar. 

[phantasmas 10,584]

i cant speak for gags, but the reason i dont like her is cos she told gaga that she looked like a hersheys kiss (in the part of me doc) as gaga was walking away

 

SHE INSULTED PACO RABANNE  AND SHE OFFENDED ME 

[Mills 446]

Why? I don't know and I guess everyone outside her inner circle wouldn't entirely know either. In the first place, Gaga hasn't explicitly declared that she does "dislike" Katy Perry. So it's safe to say this question is simply based on the assumption that one "dislikes" the other because of the "feud" created by the tabloid media and the culture of standom.

I haven't even heard her or read any of her interviews that she explicitly said she "dislikes" a particular mainstream artist, even Madonna herself. I recall she said she doesn't "care" that Madonna doesn't like her in late 2013. Being indifferent doesn't translate to having a feeling of dislike. Something similar could be said towards whatever relationship she has with Katy Perry. Gaga is clearly not a fan of the comparisons between them, but she has never outright said she personally doesn't like her at all. Same with Madonna towards Gaga. She said she disliked (or hated) that her song was "ripped off", but nowhere did she say she personally dislikes Gaga, didn't she? At least publicly. Because I seriously doubt anyone would publicly declare that they "dislike" a fellow mainstream artist, regardless of how they really feel towards their contemporaries, unless PR is the least and the last of their concerns.

Oh, sorry. I think I misread your comment. But Bonnie had the concept of the Teenage Dream song, but Katy herself already had something simialr to that when she wrote the song with Bonnie. Katy and Bonnie always exchange ideas with each other when they write songs together. I don't think that Katy ever wanted Pretty Hurts. She has been offered songs by songwriters like Ester Dean, which she passed. I think the main reason that Katy did not ended up singing Pretty Hurts was because she "ignored" Sia's email about it, and just pretended like she never saw it and pretended that she's sad that she didn't got the song in order to don't sound ignorant and "rude" to Sia for refusing a song that deep (that's just my theory tho). Sia even wrote a song (I don't remember the name) specifically for Katy, and recorded a demo for it, but that song did not end up on Katy's album, which is because of Katy passing it on. Sia even herself said that it is hard to work with Katy on a song as a songwriter, since Katy is main writer with her own ideas/concepts/vision of the song. This year's Grammy performance of By The Grace Of God was the only performance which wasn't planned out by Katy herself. She was offered and she could've either said yes or no, and she said yes, so she can use her fame, stardom, and popularity to such a important and serious subject like Domestic Violence. Katy wore many crazy outfits like the Strawberry outfit (just to name a example) which was considered whacky in it's time and she showed up on 2008 EMAs as half man and half woman. All that was before Gaga's huge success. And the I Kissed A Girl single was very edgy and risky as well for it's time. Katy's goal is to make music. Just because half of her music is poppy, bubblegum, mainstream, colorful, and fun doesn't means that her goal is not to write an album. A song about wanting to commit suicide and backing yourself up like By The Grace Of God was not written for the purpose to chart. Songs like Circle The Drain, Who Am I Living For?, The One That Got Away, Pearl, Not Like The Movies, Wide Awake, Part Of Me, and pretty much the entire One Of The Boys album (excluding I Kissed A Girl & Hot N Cold) were not really made to do well on the radio and charts. Not to mention that with all that, all of Katy's songs still have their own meanings, and are about Katy's life and personality. In a market, where dance-pop are the dominant genres, Katy releases a a trap/hip hop track such as Dark Horse, worldbeat/folk - Legendary Lovers, disco - Birthday, and a half alternative album with songs like Unconditionally, Love Me, This Moment, Double Rainbow, Spiritual, It Takes Two, and Choose Your Battles. In a market, where hip hop, R&B, and rap are mainly the dominant genres (back in 2008), Katy releases a rock album with some indie influences such as One Of The Boys. Katy is clearly passionate about what she does, but she wants to have fun as well. Birthday's official MV was a risk, and something that did not appealed to the GP. It was Katy trying something new, expressing herself, and giving her material a twist. MVs like Thinking Of You, The One That Got Away, Part Of Me, Wide Awake (kind of), Unconditionally, and Birthday by no way were created to appeal to a certain demographic. Those MVs are not mainstream. And Katy always expresses herself, her artistry, creativity, musicality, and message in all her MVs, even the ones such as I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, Waking Up In Vegas, California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Firework (obviously), E.T., Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.), Roar, Dark Horse, and This Is How We Do.
