    Oh. Katie gurl, so I see the constant GaGa shading is gonna stop?

  5. HUDSON MORRIGAN March 8, 2011

    Damn, is the Katy off key or is Katy off key…
    The verse is better, but the chorus is painfully pitchy

    Anyways, Katy sings a song making fun of someone for being gay and then the b**** turns to gays to sale. No thanks baby, stick to shooting whipped cream from your n******.

  7. Chinny March 8, 2011

    Like many, I still think this song should have been a mid tempo song.

  8. Bacqui March 8, 2011

    @Sam Im ashamed of you!, If thats what you call singing I no longer expect you to say s*** about Rihanna’s singing!… This chick ruined Gaga’s song! 🙁

  9. GangsterA March 8, 2011

  12. Kijano March 8, 2011

    Great job Katy, peaceful message equals powerful marketing campaign!
    competition is so last century

  13. Prince&Queen March 8, 2011

    Katy jus showed Gaga how to Sing this song. Gaga shouldve came HARD on BTW like Katy. Good job Katy.

  14. FUTURESTARdelux March 8, 2011

    I love how @TWITTER.COM/LORENZOJACOBS talks about paying homage to “the Queen” and then @Kijano pops up underneath with a gravatar of the true Queen, Madonna. LOL

    Anyway Katy did good and i can’t hate.

    I think Katy has a better voice than Gaga, but she didn’t sing this song any better. Her version falls flat. Katy just makes me scratch my head, because I don’t understand how you are attacking Gaga 1 minute and then serenading people with her songs. Hypocrite much! Now it just seems like Katy was jealous. That’s so unattractive!

  17. OsO_Jo_RO March 8, 2011

  18. sabrina March 8, 2011

    I thought Katy didn’t like Gaga.

  19. gdhg March 8, 2011

    “Mocha & Milk” is a perfect match like “black & white” people

    ~~~Bla c k’w h it e’F li rts. C” 0- M~~~

    The most successful interra-cial da t ing c lub. If you are still waiting for your swee t “milk” or “mocha”, don’t hesitate to check it !! Don’t let your babies wait too lon g for you !!

    Give it a try, you will have a d at e soon !! 😉

    ———————————————————————————————————————–
    Just becos she attacked Gaga doesn’t mean she has to hate Gaga’s songs or that she hates gaga as a person. There are some artists that i cant stand but i love their songs. I think its possible to separate an artist from her music. Besides Katy criticized Gaga’s use of religious symbols in her alejandro video. That video upset many people not just Katy.

  26. HUDSON MORRIGAN March 8, 2011

    Please define “better voice”. Prettier timbre? or you mean “better singer”? Because Katy is NOT a better singer, her messy intonation in this clip proves it.

  27. dang March 8, 2011

    OMG she has a HORRENDOUS voice… she sounds like Cher. I guess she needed the ticket money.

  28. Commander March 8, 2011

    Katy Perry makes everyone’s music sound better!

  29. GRANDPAPA JEFFREY March 8, 2011

    KATY PERRY SHITS ALL OVER T***** CACA’S AWFUL SCREAMING SHOUTING VOICE

  30. TWITTER.COM/XTINASDISCIPLE March 8, 2011

    @GRANDPAPA JEFFREY

    she puts caca’s awful vocals to shame !!!

  31. HUDSON MORRIGAN March 8, 2011

    @ DANG

    And your fave sounds like a street dog with throat cancer choking on a chicken bone!

  32. person March 8, 2011

    Why? Gaga has a better voice than her (when she is singing at her piano and not dancing)
    I just dont understand why Katy talks crap anbout her, denies it and then sings her song. What ever though. It wasn’t horrible but it wasnt good either

  33. KaVion March 8, 2011

    They should’ve just gave Katy the song.

  34. True Blue March 8, 2011

    @ Hudson Morrigan:

    What the hell does her fave have to do with this? Did s/he even compare the two? I don’t care how much of an X-Tina hater you are, it’s foolish to deny that she has way more vocal talent than Katy will ever have. So now anyone who’s a fan of Christina’s cannot ever critique other singers, even when they’re less talented than her or the criticisms actually have a grain of truth to them? You really come off as an immature asshole now. Sit the f*** DOWN.

    Anyway, I’m not really fond of this version. Granted I don’t like the original, but Gaga’s voice is the only good thing about the song. Can’t say the same for Katy, unfortunately. She should stick to singing her own songs or find more vocally suitable songs to cover.

  35. KeepIt100 March 9, 2011

    Why is she performing other peoples songs??? It’s annoying…
    If she ever covers Beyonce’s new single on her tour…….ch..

  36. whatyousay March 9, 2011

    I think Kathy is wrong for covering a new release song of any artist before the known artist has a chance to perform their own material. Also question, when covering a song of another artist do you have to pay that artist a percentage fee, or how does it work?

  37. Brittany March 10, 2011

    Well I love Katy Perry and I love Lady Gaga, so I really liked her rendition of the song!!!! Katy’s allowed to like other pop stars music and if she wants to do a cover let her!!!! Now I wanna hear ET live!!!!

  38. dizzy March 10, 2011

    faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. Samantha March 11, 2011

    She is such a trash talking b****. This is all a publicity stunt for sure, if she really wanted to pay ‘homage’ she should apologize publicly or in person to her not cover a song. Perry is so fake and talentless she should stick to trying to create another so-called hit. I suppose she wants attention because she is so desperate as to use a REAL hit to boost her career.
