pie-kun 1,765 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Personally, I'd be pretty depressed if I looked in the mirror and saw that's what I was going to look like in the future. Actually, someone photoshop Gaga in the mirror, that's who she wants to be :toofunny: Edited May 17, 2012 by pie-kun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think Gaga's meteoric rise is similar to Britney. It could be argued Gaga rose to fame with take-over of female acts, with Katy Perry/Ke$ha/Nicki Minaj/Adele. I don't think she's really been alone at all. I agree. Though Gaga led a revolution in US music towards dance-pop, while Britney was stuck more in a teen pop ghetto. Rap and R&B was cool, and dominated top 40 then.

Oyemiamor 40 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I agree. Though Gaga led a revolution in US music towards dance-pop, while Britney was stuck more in a teen pop ghetto. Rap and R&B was cool, and dominated top 40 then. Well being in my older teens in this era, Britney wasn't the leading force by any means. It was pop phenomena and Britney was simply a part of it. It is just crazy speak by people who were babies during this era to say it was anything else. There was no leader besides the labels trying to find their next multi million seller. It was cheap music at the time and as long as you were cute and had some good producers you were in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is about what we were speaking of earlier, I must still stand by what I, Americano and Ozzysomething support. Gaga's rise to success was the biggest since Britney Spears. I'm talking about these three eras, she's only been around for 4 years and she's already this influential. Britney somewhat had the same effect after her third successful era. xTina's third era didn't start until 2006 and yes it was very successful, but by then Britney already had 4 great eras under her belt and America wrapped around her pinky with the tabloids having her face on every magazine. xTina took a break, therefore we will always see Britney as being bigger early on in her career because she put out more material and had more successful albums. *dramatic music* ... ...and then there was Blackout. :nasty: Edited May 17, 2012 by ghettogoth77 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
00000000 1 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Also, I don't count xTina's Spanish and Christmas albums because, imo they weren't really eras, but if they were, it further proves my point about album success. :lgbt: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 HDD says so While it's still early in the week, a three-way battle is shaping up for #1 between Adele and Carrie Underwood, both of which will have substantial post-Mother's Day drops, and Adam Lambert, who appears to be trending to the high end of expectations. The former American Idol runner-up and 19/RCA recording artist’s sophomore album, Trespassing, looks set to debut with between 70-80k, which will at least put him in the running for a chart-topping bow. We will know more tomorrow! Still that is low album sales for the week. adele is still a competition............ oh god... United States (3) Songs: 226. The Edge of Glory 324. Poker Face 368. Born This Way i don't get it, where is btw album???? "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
