Katy is talentless, Gaga isn't.

The GP just take in anything they are force fed. The hunger is out there for Gaga still, she just needs to be true to herself and managed well.

Who got the most cheers at the Brits? Gaga did.

Gaga was a global artist.

Katy is a US artist with some global singles.

But when Gaga was big, she sold way more albums and singles - and this on the whole planet.

 

So no.

But yes, Katy is bigger now. She doesn't reach Gaga's album sales of 2008-2010, but she's selling more of PRISM than ARTPOP does, even in Europe. She never left the Top 100 in Germany with PRISM wheras ARTPOP left weeks ago.

Yeah I think Katy is kind of replacing Gaga as the main b itch, although Rihanna is out of the game right now to compete with her...so it's all Katy domination. I don't mind because if anyone, well she really deserves success, and I don't mind stanning for someone less successful, I mean as long as Gaga makes amazing music I'll like her.

Katy is basic, and always has been. She's a bore. Yes, she knows how to churn out #1 hits, but none of them have ever been groundbreaking, or daring, or different. Katy Perry is kind of like the ultimate "generic" queen of pop, at the moment. Oh, and she's a terrible performer. I've just never understood people's infatuation with her. Anyways. Gaga will always be remembered more, imo.

To the GP, Lady Gaga will always be bigger than Katy Perry.  This was evident during when they announced the nominees for Best International Female at the Brits this year.  Gaga got the biggest audience scream probably of the whole night even though she wasn't even there.  And people were even chanting her name when they were about to announce the winner.  To the GP, it ain't that much about sales, its more about impact the star has on pop culture.  Gaga has become a household name, like Freud in the sense that when people see something crazy/weird they say "That's so gaga" just like people say "That's so Freudian".  Gaga's already solidified her place in the industry, and its impossible for anyone to "replace" her.  Katy tops the charts, but that is all she does.  Her hits are forgettful and have little to no impact.  I'd compare Katy's music to fast-food, its easy to digest and access so the GP gobbles it up but gaga's music is more like fine dining food, when you get a taste of it you know its quality, thus making it more memorable.

Bonnie is great, but she is not young enough for the demographic she is writing for. Katy is the perfect vehicle for her songs, looks-wise, age-wise, voice-wise, persona-wise. Those songs and Katy's persona made the magic combination.

 

Gaga, IMHO, needs another magic collaborator. Someone she listens to, and who is an equal to her. It's not DJWS.

 

ARTPOP just doesn't have the hits on the same level of TF or TFM. It's a nice album. It's just not a hit album, that's all. It's also not offering anything groundbreaking on art level. Yes, it's fun, look, it's Gaga dressed as Venus. But that's not groundbreaking.

 

At the end of the day, the public cares about the song most. Or a singer's persona, like in the case of Beyonce. Americans like beautiful, perfect, shiny things/people. That's a fact - be it a perfect pop song or a perfect looking girl. Gaga's blessing and curse is in being different. Sometimes she uses it to her advantage. Sometimes not.

Katy it's not beautiful neither handsome

Erm Gaga is not actually famous for having number one singles, she's famous for other stuff as well. In fact most of the GP (and some of my friends) know her as our generation's "crazy pop star" and as the new "queen of pop".
Katy Perry is only famous for her cheap music and actually for her... bad voice :laughga:
Just because she has some number one songs , doesn't mean she's better than Gaga or Rihanna or whoever of the other pop girls.
Rihanna also has a lot of N1's but no one is comparing her to Gaga
Gaga is a Queen...... Gaga is just Gaga, Katy Perry could never be crowned, sorry :later:

Katy (no harm intended) would never get close to Gaga's level... Is she original, talented, a great musician, a smart entrepreneur, avant-garde and ahead of everyone as Gaga is? Come on!
