Are we reading the same article? It says that "Roar" is a worse song and it's doing well only because it's generic, easy to like and uninteresting.

I think people are overreacting a bit with Applause, yeah she song isn't smashing as expected but it's not like it's a complete flop, let's not

Why is everyone describing Katys lyrics as hers though?
We all now Bonnie McKee is the real mastermind behind her catchy songs.
Another thing Katy needs hitmakers at.

And it's working for her. Probably Gags needs to start hiring hit-makers at this point in her career too.

I don't remember NMT having remotely similar chart projections/positions, so no it's not the same.

it's not the charting tho it's about the underperformance, followed by the piling on of literally every stan base, and then the follow up of blogs and news media adding negativity to the star, and then BOOM, the GP now thinks less, and doesn't use

@ladygaga: Let's make 2013 a year where music/talent/artistry is more important than gossip/fanwars I respect all fanbases 4 their passion #BeTheChange

I wish all of you would stop this stupidness. You act like your lives depend on it

???? Please read the songwriting credits. Katy is a primary writer on all of them, and even penned some of them by herself.

And Bonnie has quoted in interviews about Teenage Dream how Katy wrote all the verses. D:

Gaga can go very far on the enthusiasm of her enormous cult audience – truly, second place ain’t bad – but this impromptu chart showdown is a sign that she may have completely lost her grasp on casual mainstream fans.

Generic single that sells > Cult leader

Interesting when Katy is created first in all of her songs. Nice try though.

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

Experimental? You cant be serious.

[itsAllen]

We don't even know where these songs will end up in the long run. GMA promo and VMA's on the way.
You can all sit down.

She knows she has short comings, which is why she
hire professionals, who are good at what they do.
Gaga main focus apparently is to be as artsy or different
and if that mean diminishing the quality of music, then so be it.
