Katy owned the pop music scene a few years ago They've actually had strangely similar career trajectories. Both peaked with their second albums (The Fame Monster and Teenage Dream), had massive opening singles for their 3rd album (Born This Way and Roar), struggled with second singles from the same album (Judas, Unconditionally), picked back up with big 3rd singles (The Edge of Glory, Dark Horse), and had kinda okay-floppy final singles. Then their 4th albums both came out to lukewarm reception, media scrutiny, a lack of substantial hits and a fair amount of backlash. It's honestly really odd.

What will happen to Katy tho, Gaga had tony and cheek to cheek plus all her live performances during 2015/2016 and AHS to help her get the GP's attention and respect back. It's not like Katy can do any of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Katy can do any of that Honestly, Gaga's very lucky. Pulling off an image overhaul and changing public perception isn't easy. She really, really had to work for it. Several huge performances dedicated to showcasing her huge talent, a jazz album with a legend, an entirely stripped back era... In the least asshole-ish way possible, I don't think Katy can course correct herself to the degree Gaga has. I kinda see her going the Xtina route, with Idol and all coming up.

Batwings 12,885 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Poor Katy. I feel bad for her. The GP just really isn't here for her this era. I gotta say, though, I haven't listened to the album in full, but most of what I have listened to is just bland and boring mid-tempo dullness. Some of the songs sound virtually indistinguishable from one another to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my post again lol. I said they both peaked with album #2 and their lead singles from album #3 were massive successes. I'm not here to argue the success of Prism vs BTW, I couldn't care less lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone other than die-hard fans know the sales of Like A Virgin or Bedtime Stories. No one remembers chart positions...

Kermit 15,807 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Well, her music videos are still viral. Her name is still known WW. People still know her songs. She's still getting paid more than any of us. Not bothered. “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic.
