VforVendetta 2,024 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Its difficult. Cause Katies style of pleasing the GP only gives you a higher peak but its also easier to be replaced... Gaga on the other hand may not be as appealing to he masses but has a unique style so she will always stand out more in the long-run Still tho Katy has yet to reach Gagas peak from 2009-2010 when she was literally everywhere! Very true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Primavera 13 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think that the GP currently prefers Katy over Gaga cuz Gaga is all about her art. Today, NOBODY (I mean, nobody from GP) cares about art, they care about the singer's looks and how well are they doing on charts. And Gaga is just putting her art in their face 24/7. I think they're annoyed by that. They probably think that she's overrated, cuz they think pop music can't be art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 51,007 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I can't imagine Katy being remembered, she's unbelievably basic and has caused such little controversy, but who knows. Gaga, if she continues to release memorable, bold, artistically sound work, will leave behind a worthy legacy. She's already got three bonafide modern classics that will never go away (PF, BR, and BTW). Id Say her 3 classics are actually Just Dance, Poker Face and Bad Romance actually Born This Way really didnt have the success or impact that was expected. Even at love your self themed events they play firework more than born this way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHGUY 230 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Katy will never have the same accomplishments as Gaga... Gaga has collaborated with legends... Done political activism... Set up charity foundations.... Katy will always known for being a basic pop star who sells good music.... Katy is the exact definition of a pop star created by the music industry machine Gaga refers to... She does not push the boundary of music or social norms or anything... She's just basic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There is also the fact that while Katy is a bigger pop star (at least in the US) Gaga is more talented and more versatile. She could go the way of Bjork, Kate Bush ect still be releasing, charting, touring but not being a huge pop star anymore. I don't think many people are here for Ballad, low key katy despite the fact that she is better at that. Gaga will always have a large audience I think even if she can't be the biggest star in the world forever. Oh and ofc it's still possible for Gaga to go the way of Madge and be a huge pop star for ages, this is just one era after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMarty 96 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We shall. I think Perez and Troy are in a secret relationship and stole the video and are watching it and laughing at everyone. It makes me cry thinking about them enjoying it even when they're so mean and terrible. Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Lady Gaga thorugh her music, visuals, fashion and performances has already made a contribution to the music industry and her name will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day. The extremely big sales numbers, tour revenues and awards are nothing but a side effect of her work. She aims to be judged and remembered by her art, not by the grade of success she achieves. I don't know even where to star. First of all, her name (alongside with The Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta) is associated with the EDM revolution of 2008-2009, the time when the music with a straightforward nightclub nature paved its way to the radio and mainstream appeal. The influence of this trend on the airwaves is undeniable. I know it's not because of Gaga that EDM became so popular, but the way she masterfully combined electronic sound with retro influences and catchy pop hooks certainly had its effect. Even Billboard in the article with Redone interview described how many DJs became producers. No other star since that time caused such of a stir in mass media. She became the first artistic phenomena of the social internet generation, building her fanbase and Fame through YouTube, twitter, MySpace and Facebook. Even the simple statistics in searches and the numbers of articles published on Gaga in 2009-2011 will reflect the idea that her rise to the stardom was sensational. She got so much attention for what she was wearing, but she also made people a--lyze her work, performances and pay actual attention to the material she releases. The Gaga fever back in the days was exceptional. To be honest, I believe the main Gaga influences on the industry are theatrics in entertainment, which she loves so much, and her re-invention of the music video format. And also fashion! (looking good and feeling fine ) Under theatricality I understand the fact that she gave a breath to some new energy in the show business, making people think of the "show" part, too. She inspired weirdness among fellow pop stars and a new approach to the entertainment - more fantasy in the music! Also, I believe she completely redefined the meaning of a music video for the song. She turned the release of her every music video into a big event and a little sensation from Paparazzi to Alejandro. She reminded people how important the visuals are in art, how music video is a way to explore the deeper meaning of the song and give the song a new vision. The music videos were reconsidered as one of the biggest promotional tools for the song due to the rapid growth of YouTube. But Gaga started it all: Bad Romance was the first YouTube video ever to cross 200,000,000 views I won't say a word about her fashion influences just... because. The legacy of this can't be disputed because of the jokes about meat dress and "You look like Lady Gaga" phrase to describe the out-of-this world outfit and "something Lady Gaga would normally wear" phrase to describe a fashion line. What's cool with Gaga is that she is recognized through her contribution to the industry, through pushing some boundaries or re-pushing them. She doesn't want to be remembered because she was successful or recognized through the number of No. 1 songs - this is what I love about her so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
