"Born This Way" sounds just like Madonna's "Express Yourself." It's a massive disappointment: it doesn't live up to the hype at all. It sounds dated, recycled, unoriginal, and surprisingly uninspiring, and it’s her most generic single so far. The production is similar to her previous work, nothing new at all.
With "Hold It Against Me" Britney stepped into new territory and pushed the boundaries of dance pop once again, experimenting with dubstep, rave, and techno. It's not generic at all, despite being produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin, the chorus isn't even catchy. And it’s already a hit #1 single, a Britney classic[/B]

Why can't you be unbiased for just 1 second? If Britney released a recording of herself farting you'd think it was the next Thriller.

he can't and the way he talks about Britney's generic song is crazy. I'm glad the public is not like that though

Gaga is the most manufactured artist this industry has ever had. She keeps on changhing her image to be different and to stay relevant. Sorry for spilling the true tea sis.

Change her image? You can't be serious, in this particular point in the music industry Gaga is the one setting the trends. Why would she need to change for relevance if she is a pioneer? She could play it safe like "you know who".
Copycat? Seriously, if you are going to state a claim make sure you have some factual basis. Other than some claiming musical similarities to Express Yourself, Gaga has never been accused of ripping off of other musical artists.
Gimmicks? Sex is a gimmick. You can't tell me Brit didn't change her image in an attempt to be sexy. Sex sells.
Britney is not a "gay" artist. If Gaga is vocal about her support for the LGBT community, that is her personal agenda. If anything, being so supporting and vocal would cause many to NOT like her due to LBGT being a taboo subject.

I've seen you write some crazy things, but this almost takes the cake.
How so exactly did Hold It Against Me, "push pop boundaries"? Yes for the most unoriginal, vanilla production that is Max Martin and Dr. Luke, it did but not at all in the general sense. That little breakdown in the middle does not count, sure its nifty, but it does not constitute as pushing a pop boundary.
Where is the single now?

Because it hasn't been done before in this period of time.

Where's the logic? Britney was just dominating last month, and Madonna's got 21/23 if i'm correct

Everyone pitted her up against Christina back in the day along with all the other girls that came after her. Wouldn't you know it, 12 years later the public is still trying to give the girl another rival where she outlasted her original ones. The fact that this is happening is a testament to the longevity and career of legendary Miss Britney Jean Spears. She remains on the lessor people's minds 24/7 where she ALWAYS remains unbothered.
Gaga will more than likely outsell Britney, but that happens when a new fresh act comes along next to a veteran. Hell, will Gaga be pitted against a new artist in the business that's killing the others? Will she outsell them and outdo them? We shall see in time!
No matter how hard people tried, and lord only knows they have PRAYED and HOPED for Britney to just be a one-hit wonder, where she would fade away into the shadows of obscurity. What will it take for people to accept, the bish isn't going anywhere until she is good and ready? No new act will force her to flop to pits of "has-been" hell like the OP is trying to insinuate. Britney will get hers...TRUST DAT boo! She may not end the year as THE best selling artist, but she will be ONE OF the best selling artists of the year. Do we expect Madonna, Elton John, Prince, Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Barbara, etc to outsell Gaga and the other girls/boys of today? NO! Why? They left their mark and dominated in their own times. Britney has been there and done that....why is she any different? The OP and others act like Gaga is going to end Britney's career, CH...PLEASE! Britney has cemented her place in the record books and industry, now Gaga is doing the same for herself. Enough said!
I'm done for now, time to catch up with the posts in this thread now.

That is so untrue and you know it. Britney was relevant early on in her career and she's never managed to reach that status again since her mental health deteriorated and she was placed under conservatorship. Her commercial relevancy peaked from 1998-2001, and her critical acclaim peaked from 2001-2004. Much like Chrisitna Aguilera her success is largely exaggerated in that it's heavily dependant upon her first two albums. Take those out of the picture, and Britney's career has been very ordinary since then.
Chrisitna was her main rival at the time and the two of them will always be connected, but Britney is the one who some people had hyped as Madonna's successor. She never lived up to it. Within three years GaGa has already mustered enough critical acclaim to outweigh what Britney accomplished in her entire career. Britney has always had a devout following, but whether or not the impact she made into the world of pop music was a good thing or not is questionable. Let's not forget that Britney "dominated" in an age when pop music was in decline, a decline which she could not prevent. Pop was revived in 2008, and she's not leading that revival, she's very much following. So much so that the lead single to her much anticipated 7th album was rejected by one of her rivals. Britney has become a label puppet and that's a fact that even her most devout fans will admit to.
Lady GaGa will outsell Britney, but that's not because she's a "fresh act". She's been in this industry for three years, like Britney people expected her to be a one hit wonder yet time and time again she proves them wrong. GaGa is here to stay and those that don't like it will have to put up with it. She's relevant in every corner of the planet right now, in some places she has reached a height that Britney never quite did. I think Britney can be successful for years to come, but the extent of that success is largely going to depend on her own actions. She has to promote if she wants to compete. The pop market is more competitive than it has been in a long time. She may be able to open with 410k because of her large following, but if she wants to prevent future releases from declining at a rapid pace then she will have to work a little harder. She is a "bad bitch" after all.

Her career has been far from ordinary post Blackout she has 3 number one singles, 1 number album, Debuted with over 500k in the usa, and had sold out world tour, gross 131m in just 97 dates. Her comeback it testimant to the true longevity and cemented her status as a Pop legend. Hold it against me has similar, if not better critical reaction that Born this way too.
It's delusional to state otherwise.
And p.s toxic was rejected by Kylie, rejection by another artist means nothing.

The polls don't lie, as they can't be bought out.
But I'll keep that for SYG.
