Overall very interesting list, but this just adds fuel to the fire. Discuss!!!
Winner: Katy Perry
No "Hot N Cold" here! Perry was on fire a year after her divorce from Russell Brand was finalized, giving interviews about how Brand tried to control her and how divorce sent her reaching for the booze and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. In August, Perry won even more sympathy from the court of public opinion when Brand joked in a stand-up set that during sex with Perry he tried to think of "anyone, anyone else" to stave off the boredom of monogamy. Perry got the last laugh there, however, since she seems to have tamed John Mayer, a lothario who's romanced the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift, and Jessica Simpson. After the couple briefly broke up in the spring, by the summer they were back together in a big way! Mayer even gave her a shout-out at one of his concerts in July, calling her his "face to call home." Oh, and then there was her "Prism" album, which you might have heard of …
Loser: Lady Gaga
Perhaps The Wrap captured it best when it snarked, "That 'Applause' Gaga is hearing these days has been reduced to a polite golf-clap." Ouch! The pop star should be riding high about now, coming off a world tour and having released her fourth album, "ARTPOP," last month. However, in February she was forced to cancel dates on her "Born This Way" world tour after she needed surgery to repair a hip injury caused by strenuous repetitive movements. Her much-hyped album debuted at the top spot on the Billboard charts selling 258,000 copies, but it fell 100,000 copies short of the openings for both Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry's recent albums. Making matters worse, Gaga's second-week sales fell by a whopping 82 percent, the largest dive of the year. And the Mother Monster's Thanksgiving special didn't get any ratings love either, coming in 78 percent lower than her Thanksgiving special two years ago. Even "Machete Kills," the Robert Rodriguez sequel she appeared in, bombed. Most importantly, people weren't talking about her, even though she did her best to get our attention. She pranced onto the American Music Awards red carpet on horseback, but it was Miley who stole the show when she performed "Wrecking Ball" in front of a giant, animated cat. Better luck next year, Gaga!
