lol,always the same example:neyde:

ARTPOP wasn't meaningful or groundbreaking cuz it was meant to be that way-light,colorful,silly,tongue in cheek. 

I could have given several examples from ARTPOP ranging from Donatella to Venus but this one is more apparent. 

...and no, I agree. ARTPOP wasn't meant to be groundbreaking and was meant to be fun but that is exactly what Prism/TD was meant to be about.  A lot of double standards really, Gaga creates 'pointless music' but it's okay because that was her intention whereas when Katy does its an opportunity for everyone to bash her.  Silly really.

The article lacks research and substance. It is very mean-spirited and all it does is bashing a  successful & iconic pop star who doesn't take herself too seriously and loves her KatyCats, is involved in lots of charity and educational programs, is doing what she loves and makes a s**t tone of money.

i love this! So true. Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's bad or useless. Some fun is needed in life. That's why I love Katy because she can be deep but prism was meant to be fun and colorful too instead of dark and sad. It's inspiring to me she could make a record like that after her divorce.

Not you with your comparisons and using one of ARTPOPs fun songs :later: But at the same time you're snubbing songs like Dope and Gypsy which had meaning. Though of course you won't care and you'll keep trying to extend the stan war. 

Similar to how a majority snub Katy's more deeper songs like Pearl and Circle The Drain?  

I love how you say I extend the Stan war yet if I had said "drag Katy, she's pointless.. Gaga would never"  it would have been fine.  Direct your comments to those that perpetuate this immature 'Stan war'

was that a read?:proud: I agree though, I don't understand how someone can be a huge fan of her. Like she is so.....average or even below. I don't wanna hate on her cause I do like some songs... 

Well, she is mostly surrounded by casual fans, right? I mean, I don't really know anyone who would put Katy Perry as their fave, they probably like her, but she is often amongst other artists people like and never hardcore worshipping like other stars...

But I'm only a man and I do what I can.

Except if you read my response you'd see that u said this article was just not correct hun, but I sort of agreed that she has sticked to the fun topics :trollga: And even if you said that I would've been angered I don't agree with the **** fans cause but what really irks me is blatant comparisons which people like yourself say for absolutely no reason, just to annoy :later: so overall, yes, it's directed towards you seeing as how you made the comparison. And I actually know of Katy's deep songs, I love some like BTGOG, CTD and WOA.

What a messy, rude, salad of an article. :saladga:

 

I can respect Bey as an artist and much less so Tay as a /feminist/ ( only when it suits her :trollga:), but Nicki? Nicki???

 

Most of her discography lyrics are basically made of "pills", "b*tch/h0e", "p*ssy", "d*ck", "ass" and the n word. :smh: Artistic growth. :air:

 

Katy is great. She is not the most complex artist out there but not the most basic either. Her sounds do actually change and a lot of her songs have a positive message in them. Most importantly, she looks like a very positive and fun person.

Edit;

Rihanna is up there too? Ive always thought of her as a different version of Katy, minus the good attitude. How is she any better? :excuseu:

it wasn't laaaahv

To compare her with beyonce and taylor is lame, because they are both the same as katy lol

I mean, look at beyonce in 2009, and look at her now. What has changed in her style, outfits, performances? NOTHING.

Taylor at least changed her music style (even if it was only for WW popularity), but yeah, still the same in creativity and pushing.

Anyway, what they said about Katy is true. But most of it can also be applied on B and T.

there's a red cross on top of this page,u can always click on that :kissga:

 

Thanks! I didn't know that! :hi5:  

Sorry if you quoted me several times before and I haven't ever answered you, I have you on my ignore list :nick:But I knew you were going to respond with something childish and I wanted to see your post this time to get a good laugh!

Even the "You've chosen to ignore content by yASSsss. Options" is clogging up the thread, since you're probably the top poster on every Katy thread anyway so the ignore option isn't that useful in this case:noparty:

I'd like to see you call out every person that has mentioned Gaga and had made comparisons in this thread because you'd be here all day.  I am not attempting to downplay either artist, I'm putting it into perspective for those that clearly are unable to see a difference in opinion which is clearly the case for you.  Both artists have 'meaningless' tracks which do not mean they are bad.  This was my point if you attempted to read it rather than attempting to bash me solely because I defended Katy.

Edit: I don't want to argue with you over this because I actually enjoy your posts however it really frustrates me that people continuously bring Katy down over some stupid media and fan fuelled  feud from 2 years ago.  Both are great artists and it'd be nice to be able to discuss Katy on this forum without the typical bashing that goes with every Katy thread.
