America.... i hate katy perry but she is on top in American Pop Music right now and the fact that Wide Awake has already entered the top 10 reveals she is most likely getting another Top 5 Hit that will outsell most of Born This Way i said the same thing like 4-5 months ago and everyone jumped down my throat for it lol. diff between smart vs delusional fans tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavymlover 340 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I have nothing against Katy, but at this point is all about longevity and being iconic over the time. Madonna or Britney were surpassed many times on charts, but they are the only stable superstars after many years. If anything, I would blame Gaga's image. People don't like what they can't understand. It's true she has to recover some of her casual fans, but she has to be focused on reinforcing her fanbase, which is going to be there for a long time, on the contrary, the fickle general public will leave her anytime.

Funny thing is she lost fans who decided not to be belittled by her. Not all her fans are insecure adolescent gay kids. lol, she did not make that a conscious decision. And I'm sure the positive pathos of Born This Way wouldn't have done that. Like who? People stayed, and that's why she has as many fans as she has now. Yes, and so? They stuck around.

And I agree that in the past 12 months Katy has equalled/bettered Gaga in terms of popularity in the US. The numbers don't lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many? And more than half of those people wouldn't have left if she wasn't maligned (hence the term "bandwagon fans".) What do you want exactly? Do you want her to act like Katy Perry?

I don't disagree, but consider that she resold her album and has used various dubious methods to sell. Just think: why isn't Interscope doing the same thing?

Maybe, I am being too cynical. I dont want to give the impression that I hate Gaga or I hated the born this way era. I was just venting. And you can be creative and artistic, without alienating yourself to a certain group. Im not here to fight or to give any impressions that I dislike Gaga.
