Two successful pop artists .Both are frequently compared to each other.
But which one has the better legacy.Cult following ^ General public appreciation
I think that because Gaga has one of the biggest breakouts ever now everything she does seems like a flop compared to the beginning.
Katy Perry's trajectory seems more constant .
Rolling Stones back in 2011
Gaga may, on occasion, draw heavily from the music and iconography of her heroes, but her influence on her own peers is even more obvious: Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera practically destroyed their careers trying to copy her; Katy Perry keep getting weirder (see Perry's "E.T." video); Ke$ha is allowed to be famous.
