I have nothing else to do so why not join in for the shitz and giggles.
Gaga will be remembered, I will give Monsters that, but for what exactly? When Gaga is mentioned do people ever bring up her songs? No.
When she is mentioned to people other than the queens here on ATRL, this is usually what is talked about.
1. How much they hate her
2. How weird she is
3. How much of a mess her fashion is
4. How bad her music is
5. "Who?"
So let's unclog our brains little monsters and take a look at the bigger picture.
1. Both are 5 years into their career. Katy is loved and selling more than ever, while Gaga has drastically declined and is selling less than ever.
2. Katy has improved sales-wise every era. Gaga has declined sales wise every era.
3. Katy just had her biggest radio hit. The result? Selling 4.4 million copies in America alone. Gaga just had her biggest radio hit according to her lil monsters. The result? A disappointing 2x platinum LEAD single from the supposed "biggest pop star in the world."
4. Katy has public approval and support. Gaga is dealing with public abandonment.
5. Gaga's fanbase is 10x bigger than Katy's, YET Katy is still outselling her in terms of singles AND albums. That's pretty sad.
6. Gaga has a 6x platinum single, and a 7x platinum single from her first era. She was huge, sadly her second era didn't even manage to score a 4x platinum hit as Born This Way stalled at 3.9 million. Still not disastrous though. Her follow up effort was, however, seeing as this era can't even manage to score a top 3 hit or get a 3x platinum single.
Meanwhile Katy has a a 5x platinum single from her first era and a 4x platinum from her first era. Pretty impressive, but obviously lacking behind Gaga. Luckily her second era managed one 6x platinum single, two 5x platinum singles, and a 4x platinum single. Pretty impressive right? Everyone expected her to decline, but she proved them wrong by coming back with Roar (her soon to be 5x platinum single) and after the little speed bump of Unconditionally, Dark Horse is ready to dominate America and go on to also be one of her biggest hits.
So take a look at the facts. One has increased relevance and sales every era, and one have sharply declined every era. Stop lying to yourselves and come to accept the reality that Gaga will have a short lived career. She's to obsessed with herself and pleasing her rabid fanbase.
Stop clinging to her The Fame era, and start looking at her most recent era(s). It's going to soon be 2020 and monsters will be bragging about her Fame sales.
I hope everyone has a good day!
