I kinda agree more or less...

 

My fav videos from Gaga I also like better than Katie's like Bad Romance, Telephone, Paparazzi

 

But averaging it out I kinda prefer Katie's cuz almost all of them were good. More consistent like u said

 

Gaga had some real flop sucky videos like TEOG, Million Reasons and mediocre videos like Perfect Illusion and John Wayne

 

I also didn't like You And I that much it was just random creepy stuff to me. I know that's not a popular opinion tho

well, for me the big difference is that Katy's videos value is on visuals, while Gaga has a great amount of videos which value resides not only on visuals but also artistry, risk, shock, controversy, etc. That's why I would pick Gaga over Katy always even if she has been more consistent on her visually pleasing videos, but the other elements are nowhere to be seen.

To make it short: To make them great, Gaga's videos required artistry, Katy's required huge budget and that's it.

gaga's problem is, like as you said, that none of those elements that made her videos above everyone else are present since G.U.Y. I just hope she goes back to that path

What are y'all talking about? I'm always amazed at the amount of cringey she is able to put in her videos. Yall have no taste. 

I'm the bitch that's fragile

Her music videos are acceptable at best, and look horribly amateurish at worst.

True :bon: haters can stay mad :bon: swish swish was a mess but it still brought us the best lyrics video of last year :staymad: and bon appetit was honestly great too. Anything before that was great too (except for ur so gay but we wont bring that up)

Swish Swish’s main video is literally the worst Katy Perry video.

she's a little too kitsch for my taste but i appreciate that she puts in effort and expands on a theme

Cheap? Most of them seem to have more budget than typical pop music videos :oprah:

I don't know what kind of budget there is on Katy's videos but the output isn't great. It honestly looks like they hired a team of children to work on these videos.

Gaga's videos on the other hand always look technically and artistically good. Even Million Reasons, which was not well executed, you can still look at any shot and think : okay, this is professionally done. The aesthetics of The Edge of Glory are beautiful, even if you don't like the whole video. Perfect Illusion had an interesting concept visually speaking and it probably required a lot of work to manage to shoot it the way it was shot, but still showing exactly what had to be shown. John Wayne is generally good, even by Gaga's usual standards :huh:

You see most of Katy's high budget videos and think... Was there really a team of professionals, with years of experience in their industry, working on this ? It's everything : the video, the fashion, the scenery... You look at most blockbusters and even them have a better production than that. Some of her early videos are more simple but at least visually acceptable.
