November 17, 201311 yr I voted for "Katy Perry". If everyone's albums had the eccentric-ness of some of Gaga's songs I'd be put off massively.
November 17, 201311 yr I think I would have struggled to choose more if it wasn't for Katy's latest era. I never took to 'Roar' and 'Unconditionally' just grates on me so much it's unreal. I haven't been mad keen on this ARTPOP era either, but at least I enjoyed 'Applause'. In terms of other songs from previous eras, Katy's released some real solid gems, especially 'Teenage Dream', 'E.T.', 'Hot N' Cold', 'I Kissed A Girl' 'Firework' etc, and 'Paparazzi' is probably one of my favourite songs ever, but saying that, I don't listen to her past hits all that much. I do like the dark depth in a lot of Gaga's songs and I often find Katy Perry's music a little too basic. I mean, 'Roar' sounds like it was written for five year olds IMO. But I think I'm going to go for GAGA. Edited November 17, 201311 yr by Parallel Reality
November 17, 201311 yr I am definitely more of a Katy Perry. I love simple songs, with catchy beats/hooks ect. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I find a lot of songs that try to be edgy and push boundaries are just shit.
November 17, 201311 yr I can't believe the amount of people who haven't understood what this topic is?! :lol:
November 17, 201311 yr easily a gaga. altho ironically katy perry's roar is one of my favourite songs of the year (yes i know what the topic is about) and when i DO like pure pop songs i go hard a la 'come & get it' (amazing!) so there's a definitely a katy streak in me.
November 17, 201311 yr I chose Katy. The more risky pop works when it works but it's far more hit and miss for me, whereas there's rarely a generic pop song I dislike.
November 17, 201311 yr GaGa has higher highs ("Bad Romance", "Telephone", "Paparazzi") and is a far better vocalist, but she is pretty inconsistent - I am liking the new single "Do What U Want" however. Perry is vocally very average and pretty inconsistent too. I don't love any of her songs, and I dislike a lot of them, "Roar" is pretty awful to my ears (one of the more overrated pop singles of the year) and "California Gurls" was so bad that I grew to hate her for a time in 2010 when she became inexplicably successful.
November 17, 201311 yr This isn't a "Katy Perry vs. Lady GaGa" outright "rivalry" topic. It's more based on you and your pop tastes. GaGa has higher highs ("Bad Romance", "Telephone", "Paparazzi") and is a far better vocalist, but she is pretty inconsistent - I am liking the new single "Do What U Want" however. Perry is vocally very average and pretty inconsistent too. I don't love any of her songs, and I dislike a lot of them, "Roar" is pretty awful to my ears (one of the more overrated pop singles of the year) and "California Gurls" was so bad that I grew to hate her for a time in 2010 when she became inexplicably successful. Oh doctor bitch :((((
November 17, 201311 yr I'd say Katy Perry as generally my favourite songs are simple ballads and catchy pop tunes.
November 17, 201311 yr Oh doctor bitch :(((( I've just never felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again. :( Those are my pop tastes. I'd much rather listen to The Fame Mons†er than anything Katy Perry has recorded.
November 17, 201311 yr Gaga easily Seen her 3 times, seeing her again at Jingle Bell Ball, camped outside venues for her, waited outside hotels to get close to her No one compares to Gaga IMHO, music/personality/work ethic, the complete package
November 17, 201311 yr I wish people would learn to read. I can't believe the amount of people who haven't understood what this topic is?! :lol: Or maybe you just haven't understood the amount of people using the example of Katy/Gaga's music to explain their choices?
November 17, 201311 yr Or maybe you just haven't understood the amount of people using the example of Katy/Gaga's music to explain their choices? Disliking what Lady Gaga is making does not mean you hate all "weird" music. You're reaching.
November 17, 201311 yr Or maybe you just haven't understood the amount of people using the example of Katy/Gaga's music to explain their choices? For once i agree with you I love Gaga's music but i buy into the whole package, the personality, the fact she speaks out about what she believes in, the fact she is a workaholic, her outfits, the music is a very nice side issue
