Don't fool yourself into thinking Gaga is seen as less believable a performer than Britney. Less than 3 years ago Gaga was the poptart singing about getting wasted in clubs. In 3 years, she's had a praised world tour that stands as the #1 debut tour of all time, given buzzed-about award show performances, opened the Grammys with the legendary Elton John, performed with legends like Sting, written songs for legends like Cher, been asked to do duets with Jazz legends like Tony Bennett, won 5 Grammys, written 2 albums that were nominated for AOTY, and her "attempts at serious messages," as you call them, are named-dropped by the President of the United States when he addresses the nation.

I don't think a popstar can do a better job of being perceived as a "serious artist" in 3 years. I know Britney didn't do it in 13.

Janet still owns the record for biggest debut tour of all time with Rhythm Nation. Gaga has toured twice.

Now that said, true tea.

As someone pointed out... Billboard has pointed out that Gaga INDEED has the biggest debut tour. We will run with that because we can.

Gaga has had two SEPARATE tours. Both tours can't be your debut

Rolling Stone has been eating gaga's ***** since day one.

They lost it since they decided to give snooki and other bitches of her caliber front covers. They are not the same magazine they once were. Payola all the way these days.


The FACT of the matter is that it wasnt her debut tour, a writer can say whatever they want. It doesn't change a simple fact. If someone of a magazine writes all kids will jump off a bridge, you're gonna do that too because rolling stone said so?
