Yes, tbh. No one would drag Rihanna, Beyonce, or Britney for a #6 debut. It's just that she tried to overshadow Katy and the song itself that is actually being dragged by the media though.

This.

Exactly, but every artist and stanbase experiences this problem. Stans overcompensate for artists; everyone has their favorites for a reason and music is subjective. Its annoying to be apart of a stanbase that is perceived to be psychotic, but if you enjoy a song then enjoy it. Just detach the actions of a stanbase from the music that a singer produces.

Applause has not matched my expectations, and I am sure it hasnt matched the expectations of many others apart of our stanbase, so I hope it humbles them a bit about how much they brag, threaten, etc.

Shame on them.

But you've only just confirmed what I said.

Apparently Gaga's stans fawning over their fave (as if no other fan base does this, people only like to mention monsters because there are so much more of them) is enough to get you to feel some sort of way about Gaga. You're making it personal, so please don't pretend like it's any more than just aggravated backlash.

And be honest with yourself, no matter what Gaga released or how high she charted, or how much she sold, what the video looked like, or how the rest of this era goes, that, short of Adele figures you pressed souls will find any reason to justify your seething bitterness towards Gaga's fans.

When did she beat Katy and Blurred Lines???

Little Monsters need to just admit that they over-hyped her and over-estimated her "power"

If Roar debuted at #6 Katy would be dragged to the pits of hell by the Monsters so let's stop acting like victims.

If I've been banned from April 2011 until just the other day, how could I have made predictions that the song would sell 500k in its first week?

Who cares if we over-hyped her. I mean especially not someone named Ke$ha's Chart. I mean, which chart? What numbers? Don't you do the same? "C'mon", you're not fooling anyone.

It's because of the monsters, when Katy was number 1 they claimed applause would knock her off the top and the song just didn't deliver.

A 2 year ban? What did you do?

Spill the tea sis.

Well now they're only helping the monsters because they're actually giving them an idea how to react on such an occasion, in an instance when their fave flops. Watch the monsters drag harder than ever before when Gaga triumphs once again.

No, it's being dragged cause the song is awful, period.

We all know the problem is that monsters didn't hesitate to say she was the biggest act of the decade, that she was the new queen of pop, that no one could ever match her success and well time has spoken. Deal with it.

So, she's going even harder this time with promotion. Good to know, you won't be able to say it's due to lack of promo when she fails, if she does of course. What is most likely going to happen though.

This.

But it will all come down to Album sales for GaGa.
