Now buzzfeed sisses... Gaga's Vevo has more views than Katy's. Kinda detracts the credibility of the article for me if they're gonna grasp at those straws just to give Katy the win.

That was the past when GaGa was on top of the world creating pop masterpieces. The collective number of views of her videos were at its peak before BTW. Katy's viewership has increased from her first to her second era and I'm sure she'll continue this upward trend.

She actually thought she could overtake Katy with this 2011 RedOne demo. Arrogance got the best of her.

Yes.

She needed a much stronger material.

No wonder why Katy's slaying her.

How exactly is Gaga hovering above 500k when her audio video got 9.1M views?

They're comparing lyric videos

The only one damaging Lady Gaga is Lady Gaga

[katyperryismylife]

Welp

[ryanjanuary]

so basically, katy played it safe and released a standard pop song and gaga released an experimental pop song and is doing almost as well

I have a feeling this katy v gaga thing is going to get really annoying this year

Now that's irony.

The 6 million smash Firework says hello.

Without that Katy still wins though so it doesn't matter

I went from Stan to casual fan.. And now I really don't want to hear her. (Trying to get into her applause chorus)

The verses, idiot.

And Katy's entire song is one big mess of a cliche.
Eye of the tiger
Fighter
Floating like a butterfly
Rock the boat


No one should have writing credits on the song because it is just lisiting """"self-empowering"""" cliches

[Monster]

The general gist of her alienating her casual fan base is true, but there are so many half truths in this article to be truly taken seriously.

[hOAng]

But I thought Katy was over when Gaga decided to release the same week with Roar?

How can you call Applause, the Fame left over an "experimental pop song"? Just because it sounds dated as hell and has lyrics that no one can relates to doesn't mean it's "experiment"

[Benjamin]

So, maybe it was too soon for the Monsters to mock people by sarcastically posting 'Fading!!' whenever Gaga has a minor achievement?

I don't think Gaga has lost her hold on the casual music listener though, she just didn't release a very good song.

Yup, if we ignore Firework and the thousands of other 'love yourself' songs that came out before Born This Way.

[Pat]

I don't like how they describe all of GaGa's singles as songs about GaGa. Did they forget that Born This Way, the song, was a self-empowerment anthem?

[Lucas32]

that she may have completely lost her grasp on casual mainstream fans.

That's it
Everyone can listen to Rihanna or Katy but when you are a fanof Gaga everyone always assumes you are gay or and outsider. It's sad but it's true

LOL.

I hope Katy gets critical acclaim this era. She deserves it - her songs have always been either extremely witty, metaphorical, or emotionally captivating.

Queen Katy stays winning

While it may be a win regarding success, let's not act like it's an all-round win.

"Roar" doesn't show any artist growth on her part, and if Prism turns out to be a similar generic mash-up of other songs, then we can expect yet another critically panned album from Katy Perry.
