Christina was never top bitch. Christina never had Gaga's fanbase or media attention. She was always lurking in the shadows as sourpuss runner-up. Gaga is the perfect storm.

Then what is god's name do you call the iconic CRAZY IN LOVE? 
Or Irreplaceable, Single Ladies, and Halo?

HBIC tbh.

Exactly. All these "acclaimed" and "culturally enriching" acts end up in the trash can. Britney is a timeless legend. These 2 other members of the "trinity" aren't touching Britney.

Hit songs. She's still always just been around. Rihanna is more iconic.

Of course it has to do, it has everything to do with it. Do you even know what inflation means?  |
It doesn't matter if any "inflation" exists or not. You don't gross over $200 million on any tour without strong demand.
I completely understand the concept that Gaga could never sell albums like Britney did with her first few releases, but that's because album sales are in decline. Concert attendance isn't really undergoing any changes.

LOL at the last 3. If I asked some random on the street to sing one of those they would say "I don't know".

I wouldn't say that. Gaga has always given me Christina teas with her changes. Christina 99-03 had a punch to her too back then. Adele has already punched Gaga out of the game and made The Fame Monster irrelevant with 21. Seems like history may be repeating itself with Gaga this time around. Wouldn't surprise me if Gaga's new album doesn't even out scan Back To Basics in overall sales

These threads are just so repetitive. Asking the same question over and over that will never be answered.

Funny thing is, Beyonce is BY FAR a better performer than Gaga and Britney, but she hasn't reached the level of impact the other two have. IDK, she's loaded with money,
but besides her 16 Grammys (which don't make sense at all seeing people like Mariah Carey, Madonna, and Whitney have less), what else does she bring to the table? Her touring isn't as powerful as Brit's or Gaga's. Her singles sales aren't as impressive either (except one or two songs), her album sales aren't anythin to brag about either. I mean, she's the BEST PERFORMER and yet she lacks something.

Well she's the top star right now, if she doesn't belong in the Trinity then neither does Britney nor Beyonce.

And I take it you have the receipts to back up this incorrect statement?

You mean the "trinity" threads? Those threads are all about the trinity. THIS thread is asking if Gaga is a part of Bey and Brit's league (which is called the "trinity" for some reason).

This is actually somethin that her label should really think about..
She's really the whole package but something is missing.

She has no star quality. That's what makes it funny when people claim Britney is just a robot, when that describes Beyonce a lot more.

Of course...
One of the highest-selling recording artists of all time.
One of the highest-grossing touring acts of all time.
One of the most awards musicians of all time.
One of the most popular people in the world.
One of the most digitally viewed people of all time.
Should I stop, or...

Her massive hits preluded the digital explosion. Only Single Ladies was able to reap the benefit.
"Crazy In Love" is the first song to go number one on iTunes after all.

Voted No by accident. But yes, Gaga is in their league. She has achieved so much in the span of 4-5 years whether you like it or not.
