You must be so excited that Gaga was "only" #11. How about you applaud your fave's meteoric rise and not throw weak shade at a (much more talented) artist.

I'm sorry, but how the actual **** did the final list turn out this way?
I checked the votings on their website about 2 days ago and Katy had like 60% NO's (she was really far away from the top 10) and Justin Bieber was #1 with a massive lead in votes, while Gaga was trailing him as the second most voted musician in there.

What are you talking about? Of course I would applaud those who made it into the Top 10 first.
