Estoy harto de los fans que inflan las ventas de sus artistas! Beyonce 75 millones, Gaga 100?? Pero si en albums no llevan ni 25!! Britney ha vendido 100 millones pero no de singles si no de albums!! solo en USA ha vendido unos 35 millones de albums casi el triple de los que ha vendido Beyonce y 5 veces más que gaga.
Los singles siempre se han utilizado para promocionar un álbum nunca se han contado como ventas ¿Como se pueden contar las ventas de un single con las de un álbum?, de hecho cuando Britney empezó su discografica no se molestaba en lanzar sus single en cds si no solo en airplay. Los singles solo sirven como algo promocional no es el trabajo completo. Otra cosa muchos fans utilizan es que ahora se venden menos álbums para no comparar las ventas de sus artistas con las de otros que empezaron mucho antes y que?
Como se puede comparar un álbum 14 platino como es Baby One More Time con un álbum 4 platino como de The Fame Monster?? si ni con miles de reediciones supera a Baby One More Time o a Oops.
Por último, para que sirven los grammys?? A Britney no le ha hecho falta ganar grammys para estar 15 años siendo número 1 en todo el mundo. ¿ Donde esta Christina y sus grammys? ¿ Donde esta Alanis? Norah?
Que alguien traduzca esto, siento ver lo escrito en español pero es que mi inglés no es tan bueno como para traducir todo esto en condiciones.

Let me take my ass to Google Translate and see if this needs to be reported.

For bleeding to death on stage and treating homosexuals like they're puppies that need her cuddling? Bitch bye. The Queen of Pop was on the edge of death and battled back to sell millions of records and embark on two world tours, one of which is Top 5 all-time. No one respects GaGa. People respect Britney way more.

A Britney stan going in on everyone in Spanish.when will your stanbase?

[hairofglory]

Hmm let's see. Gaga's already overtaken her in --> tours, critics, talent. All that's left is record sales and I'm sure she can manage that.

Basicamente! Pero a los otros stans no son tan maduros para acceptar que la carera de Britney Spears es mucho mas superior que la de otras.

That we'll have to see. The difference between her and Madonna or Michael is that they were still performing and making music above average standards clear into their late ages. Britney's only 30 and as the years go by it appears that she loses whatever power her name has left.

On the other hand, when I look at the consistently rising tour numbers of someone like Gaga, I can't help but to notice she's gonna be trouble for all the female popstars. Including the ones that came years before her like Rihanna and Britney.

Are you kidding me? She had the most commercially successful era she's ever had. She's still shelling out #1 singles where most people who have been in the game as long as she has can barely get a spot on radio.

You are just looking at one specific thing and comparing apples to oranges.

Look at Beyoncé. She's not as strong in touring as Madonna or Michael, but people still see her as one of the all-time greatest entertainers, consistently comparing her to them. Her impact on pop culture is almost unequivocal. She's built a brand as massive as any "pop star" out right now... but both times I've seen her in tour, the arena was nowhere near full.

It doesn't mean a damn thing.

Rihanna has never had a number one album.
Christina had a flop era.
Shakira sometimes struggles in the US...

but you can't belittle their other accomplishments just because they are lacking in a specific era.

Gaga is huge right now, but it's only fair to compare her to Britney when she was huge. We have no way of predicting Gaga's success, but from the looks of where her career is now and how inconsistent she CAN be (though it's not usual), I highly doubt she'll even be around for a full decade.

As I said time and time again, the things Gaga is popular for, are hot right now... Fashion.

In music, she's not doing anything that hasn't been done by her contemporaries.
Her performances aren't particularly memorable outside one or two.
Her political stances have been covered by many female artists before her.

...and I'm not throwing shade. It's the true tea.

I agree with everything, except the Queen of Pop holds the record for alltime #1 tour: Sticky & Sweet

Michael's success lasted about 15 years only. Madonna is clocking her 30th anniversary soon.
Britney is doing great 14 years into hers and very likely to remain successful.

People also said that about Madonna during the American Life era.

I think Gaga has made a huge impact, but I think that she has alienated her mainstream appeal too early in her career. Madonna maintained huge mainstream appeal for about 4-5 albums and then she decided to go freaky with Erotica alienating her mainstream fans and appealing majorly to the gay audience. Gaga's mistake was doing it since the second half of TFM era and all the BTW era.

Britney, on the other hand, has maintained a somewhat broader mainstream appeal, at least in my country a straight guy would much more likely admit liking Britney than Lady Gaga.

Now if we compare the two in her beginnings it is only honest to say Britney had a much more consistent and extended impact through the mainstream public, sadly Gaga was unable to hold on to hers, 3 years after her debut.

This!

The only thing GaGa has overtaken Britney in is vocal ability. Everything else is false.

Yes.

Nope. She's easily overtaken Beyonce already though. No need to even wait a few years for that one.

Your wording of this makes the FF era look a lot more successful than it really was, though.

Let's be honest - it wasn't a flop era, but it definitely wasn't massive either. It was moderately successful.

I never said it was massive because it wasn't but it was successful and the fact that she was the third most played artist on (pop) radio 14 years into her career, only behind katy perry and bruno mars is AMAZING, and proves that people are still here for her.

People always underestimate Britney and her staying power. TTWE sold 2.6-2.7 in the US alone with only 2 terrible low profile performances that sucked. If Britney actually promoted anywhere near as much as gaga and GOOD, the era would've been a lot more successful than it was and the album wouldn't have flopped.

What i'm trying to say is basically that gaga only really stands a chance at 'overtaking' Britney if Britney herself continues to halfass everything, not give a **** about her career,etc . She could easily slay again if she wanted to. She's like madonna, not as successul obviously, but she's someone that will never really be irrelevant and will always be here no matter how many people continue to write her off. My sig says it best, everytime Britney drops new music it's considered an 'event' at radio, she just has that power and she will be here in the next 10-20 years if SHE wants to.
