Let's see how Gaga's next album does because BTW's success was no where near TFM's success even with the enormous amount of hype. Was Gaga's prime TFM? We'll see in a couple of years.
On the other hand, Britney has already proved her success, and like others have said, Britney's prime was much bigger than Gaga's prime (at the moment). People seemed to forget or are too young to realize here.

Allow yourself to imagine, just for one minute, that she's actually right and she's smart about what she's doing.
"I don't understand her art" =\= "she's not making art."

I will never have respect for her. She is and will always be a basic popstar who got famous because she wore a ****ty school uniform.

Ironically the show on which she's trying to be a judge warned its winning contestant to be careful NOT to end up like Britney Spears 
AT THIS POINT in her life/career, no one wants to be the next Britney Spears. |
Exactly.
Especially, if this is the price she has to pay according to this Britney stan.

That's what you think. Many of us are aware of what is tacked to Britney's name. We lived through the Hell of it. So don't act expert here, you already know little Britney.
But this is not even about personal life or the insanely negative criticisms. You do want to be Britney in terms of musical beginnings and impact. Otherwise when the next chart evolution begins, you'll be the Jessicas, Mandys and Willas. We're already seeing Katy, Rihanna and Gaga all suffer easily and incredibly as indie rock and boy bands make a brief appearance. Wait for it.

The Answer is No, simply because Britney Spears has left a huge impact on pop culture. Her music, life, controversies have impacted our culture so much. Nobody can come and take any of past successes away from her. Not even a new girl that may come and brake records left and right. Britney has already established her name.
Gaga will not overtake anyone success, Its up to gaga to establish her name along/beside Britney, Michael, & Madonna. That is the answer. Being along the greats, its impossible to overtake them.

No one puts Britney's name next to Michael and Madonna but Britney stans. And lol, are MJ and Madge the only pop stars you guys know?

and on the other topic, i don't understand how people can be so shallow as to not see that she always has an artisitc vision. Again and again i've said you need to seperate that from whether you agree with the vision or think she executed it well.. but you have absolutley no ground to call into question her artistry.

I have never seen an interview, tweet, facebook post, article quote when she talks about the creative deep force within her and how she came up with "her" concept behind the things she comes out. Whereas gaga is always showing us that whatever she puts out, good or bad, comes from her own brain. Now could all those ideas be britneys? Maybe? But that's like saying I could climb mount everest without knowing me.

For the gurls in the back. People in general are so quick to dismiss everything Gaga does as "attention whoring"

Michael is the King of Pop, Madonna is the Queen of Pop and Britney is the Princess of Pop. Always were, always will be.

Not really. Everyone knows that the key to longevity is maintaining some consistency with your music or image. Gaga lost a large number of fans during the BTW era. Shes obviously more interested in exploring new sounds and styles.
This is not a bad thing but she's bound to flop sometime. At this point I think Rihanna has more longevity potential than gaga.

1) Yes they do!
2)They are clearly the biggest, most influential pop stars. Im guessing you want me to include Janet?

Just because she doesn't BRAG about her involvement 24/7 doesn't mean she's not. 
Quote:
The music video for "Toxic" was filmed over three days in December 2003, on a soundstage in Los Angeles, California. It was directed by Joseph Kahn, who previously worked with Spears on the music video for her 2000 single "Stronger". Spears first approached Kahn with a story sketch of a secret agent out for revenge against an ex-lover, to which Kahn created a treatment for. Her concept was almost fully formed and detailed, exemplifing the scene in which she drips water in the passenger's lap. Kahn said, "That's part of her brilliance [...] She totally understands that she's naughty and nice, that she's the girl next door gone bad who is constantly titillating you." Spears said she wanted to join the mile-high club and be a stewardess that kissed a man in the bathroom. Kahn suggested making him a fat man, so the "common man" would feel represented. She also told him about a scene in which she would be naked and covered in diamonds.
Kahn stated he was "not sure what I was thinking about when she told me about that scene, maybe those intros to James Bond movies, but every video needs an iconic image to remember, and that's it." The choreography was a collaboration between Brian Friedman and Spears, and every scene had a completely different strictly structured routine. After the treatment was finished, Kahn proceeded to cast his friends and acquaintances like on most of his projects. The plane passenger in which Spears drips water was played by his longtime casting director, while the fat man in the bathroom was played by the casting director's assistant. Spears's boyfriend is played by Martin Henderson, who starred in Kahn's directorial debut Torque.[46]

She was very much involved in the creation of what is one of the greatest music videos of all time. Let's NOT.

Britney was instantly pinned against Madge as a successor in her beginning years. And now today. Not to mention both of them sought her out to collaborate. And they're really all that matters in terms of immediate discussion.

Because it was a Britney stan who asked the question.. |
Britney never made a 'true' comeback. She's not herself anymore, that much is obvious. Michael Jackson will always be the one synonymous ('synonymum'? is not a word) with pop music.
