It's so funny because back then, people would ridiculously position Lady Gaga as Ke$ha's "competition," when in reality, Katy Perry was (and still is) Ke$ha's
actual competition. If Katy Perry didn't exist, Ke$ha would be more popular, seeing as Ke$ha is basically the better version of Katy Perry musically, but Katy Perry is the better version of Ke$ha, "visually." And of course, in the entertainment industry,
Visuals > Talent. That's why folks are dumb enough to believe that Angelina Jolie is a good actress because she's "visually stunning," while the large majority (75%) of her movies throughout her career have been critically panned. Same goes for Ke$ha and Katy Perry. Ke$ha's second album "Warrior" was so well-received by critics, while Katy Perry's second album was so negatively-received by critics, but guess who still comes out on top -- the packaged, media-friendly version of Ke$ha, known as Katy Perry. That's why she can release a song as bland and ironically lifeless as "Roar" and have it smash, while Ke$ha can release a song as exciting and pulsating as "Supernatural" and underperform.
