But even her stage name is like so meh 'Katy Perry'

What does her name have to do with anything

[Almighty Gaga]

Depends on whether her music grows up with the growth of her age or will remain the same.

[MadMax12]

She's at the point in her career where she has established herself as a very successful hit maker. If she wants to go on to have a career like Madonna, her fourth album will have to be ground breaking, like 'Like A Prayer'. Katy is in her own 'True Blue' phase with 'Prism'. For her next album, she will have to try something completely new and surprise everyone

No, what are the memorable moments in her career?

She needs to have something groundbreaking first. She doesn't really have something to be remembered for.

Even if we talk about stage names, 'Lady Gaga' isn't a good point to be proud about.

Names are important. MADONNA is an iconic name and feels larger than life. Paula Abdul and Cyndi Lauper are normal names that give the impression that they're just normal girl singers (which they are) and not pop icons.

5 #1 from one album for example ...

Of course Katy Cats are going to say there's not need for her to go the extra mile.

But we've seen what happens with pop girls that never leave comfort zone.

See Mariah Carey's and Madonna's career for example. MC have much more hits than Madonna, but Madonna proves that in order to maintain longevity in the pop world you need to be able to reinvent yourself and have iconic moments thought your career.

But Mariah is remembered, lol.

Besides that

Iconic performances? Outfits? ANYTHING else besides single success.

She can sell more albums outside US than Taylor Swift, and even her US sales are great.

Legends are known for their persona, their impact on pop culture, their influence, their ability to keep pushing boundaries, their staying power and their music..


you have to be more than just a popstar to be remembered decades form now..... and as of now katy only has great commercial success but nothing more

[jhonyguy04]

She just needs 4 more tears to be a legend and she just keeps growing. No signs of fading sigh....

Ummm MC is remembered and her career had great longevity.

The only thing an artist needs to be remembered is SONGS....

ATRL is the only place where people talk about Gaga's gimmicks or Britney performances in 2003.

She is still only 5 years into her career, everyone was saying she peaked with TD, but not, her next era could surprise everyone

No, her US sales are okay, not great.

And as for selling outside the US more than Taylor, isn't Prism on its 14th week of release at the moment? In the 14th week of Red's chart run, it sold 68k WW, opposed to Katy's 55k. #Poorthat

Not being a pop icon doesn't necessarily mean they won't be remembered

But yeah you have a point. Having a standout name does help when it comes to being an icon

1.5m (OOTB) 2.8m (TD) and 1.2m (PRISM in 3 months) are just okay?


And TD sold more than 3M outside US, call me when Taylor sells more than 3m outside US.

The why does Gaga get so much press for her "gimmicks"? Last time I checked, news sites aren't ATRL, hun.
