In the recent years we wiitnessed Katy Perry eclipsing her fellow popstar in every possible field: album sales, single, sales, touring, cultural impact (Superbowl), critical acclaim etc. How could Katy achieve such feat?
when katy will achieve the same cultural impact, albums sales, touring and critical acclaim gaga have then you can say she destroyed gaga this is not happened yet...She destroyed ARTPOP nothing more.
Katy started to follow the trend that is currently #1 on radio.
Gaga tends to view her creations as art and chapters of her life and therefore doesn't see the "business" side of music as the main goal.
Both have different prerogatives with their music. Gaga is here for the art while Katy views it more as a business. Both acceptable and respectable reasons as well.
A mess, she didn't eclipse her on the talent repertory and the acclaim thooo which are more important imo. And the overall impact in the world and pop culture.
Because Katy has songs like Dark Horse and Gaga has songs like ARTPOP. Katy is working for the causal young pop listener and Gaga is working for littlemonsters.com. The comparison is useless these days as the two continue to go in different music paths.
