You must realize that Rihanna was once where Lady Gaga is now in terms of world wide popularity. She's now struggling to keep up. The answer to the question is yes Gaga has raised the stakes for all (male and female) pop stars. Has anyone wondered why Katy Perry is at every music event!!?? Answer: Gaga.

Explain the last part b/c I didn't get it

What have you been smoking? and Katy got 2 worldwide smashes before we even know who was Gaga.

He's saying that Katy has to promote a lot more to keep up.

Anyways, Rihanna seems like a sweetheart.

exactly but people are always trying to instigate


anyways I still have my Silly Boy tags as "Rihanna & Lady Gaga" from 2009

These fools think they can detect shade. It's quite ridiculous.

the delusion

"and I didn’t want to get punctured by them"

This thread!!

Rihanna is the biggest female artist in the UK at countt the momnet. Loud is already double platinum and she's had two back to back top two hits from Loud there. She also had 3 singles in the top ten at the same time in the UK, setting a record for a female artist.

Only Girl reached number one in so many countries....i lost count & it's still number one on the European Hot 100.

Loud has sold approximately 1.7 million WW in a month.

Loud is platinum in Canada. As of last week, it sold 51K in Australia...70K is platinum.

Her UK dates for the Loud Tour are sold out. The shows are still a year away.

How exactly is she struggling to keep up. Please explain
