Forbes: Lady Gaga one of the most powerful celebrities on the globe

[MelbHawker 6,583]

What are you even talking about?

She had one single and her album tanked harder than who knows what. Yet, that's huge music-wise?

Her TV has been lackluster at that, with American Idol experiencing declining ratings.

What has she been in the media for? Being irrelevant and a loser in every industry she's participated in since 1643?

JLo's latest album is her WEAKEST SELLING yet.

Britney Spears had 3 hit singles, a big album in the US, and was all over the news for her comeback in addition to a tour.

Keep being pressed about J.Lo's success. As a business woman, she's had a huge year. Regardless of what you think of her. What's she doing at #1 of Forbes most powerful celebrity list if Britney had a far better and more successful year than her?

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Britney didn't have a good year.

J.LO making it big with her divorce + getting a boy toy not long after that tbh.

:flop: There's really no way to explain how Jlo got #1. Congrats to her though, this probably surprised even actual Jlo fans.....all 5 of them

You make it sound so awful. Her hit singles from LOVE fared well. On the Floor did more business than any Britney single last year.

What? Americano just showed you how JLo's year music wise wasn't bigger than Britney's, that's the fact. Do instruct us on the bussiness skills that took her to the number one spot.You say Justin Bieber does not deserve the spot? Well, fact is he has much more social impact than JLo, like it or not. JLo is irrelevant to 80% of the world's population, whereas Justin Bieber has a huge following, like it or not.

So Adele at #21 could even beat Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

Jlo makes $12 million a year hosting idol, and On the Floor was bigger globally than any Britney singles.

Still odd to see her on top overall, when she was behind Gaga and Bieber almost every category.

Kind of a draw money-wise, with so many pop stars making 50-60 million.

Impressive stat there - where'd you pull that from? :grin:

Are you people seriously telling me JLo hasn't had a great year? Because Im just smh at all this hate for her. She has had a great year musically. A great year non-music wise as well. She only earned $52 mill through a 'MASSIVE FLOP ALBUM', a job on American Idol (biggest reality show on the planet tbh), clothing lines, cosmetic deals, fragrances etc. and became a 'single mother' after the divorce - she's done very well.

I'm not a J.Lo stan - but y'all need to just, like, accept the fact that she isn't a flop.

Justin Bieber does have a following - and a social impact (not to a wide audience though). Tbh, I just don't think he's uber talented. But I guess at his age, he has had nothing short of a mega successful career.

if you combine the numbers Gaga is higher in the rank that anyone on the top 5, so why she is not number one?

$52 M 30 3 1 8 1

if it's not Gaga Oprah should take the first spot, Jennifer does not deserve the most POWERFUL title imho

[White Noise 0]

I'm still apalled by the fact that Jennifer Lopez is no 1 on this list :eek:

Lol, this just makes me laugh, I mean Forbes is a brand with a big name and they pull this prank on us? This is just sad :laughga:

But this is neither about talent or who you like more. I always liked J.Lo and still do. I even liked some songs from Love?, but Beiber is much more powerful. And I hate him.

well, at least it wasn't katy .... XD
