As two of the most hyped releases of the year, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry‘s respective projects – ‘ARTPOP’ and ‘Prism’ – are being pit against each other by critics and fans alike.
And we’re not against it. At all.
Purists can sing Kumbaya all day long, yet the fact remains: there is only one top spot. Indeed, given the similar lanes the ladies play in (not to mention the overlapping of their release windows), this is very much a head-on collision. A clash of the titans, if you will.
And while it’s certain that the divas (and their teams) are well-versed in this, it appears they’re playing a game of “sugar, spice, and all things nice”. For now.
Taking to Twitter, the Billboard belles discussed each other’s new singles (‘Applause’ and ‘Roar’ respectively).
Responding to the “coincidental” leak of both songs yesterday, GaGa initiated the chat by writing:
Wanna grab some shovels and fuck up some hackers? @katyperry excited to hear your ROAR, sorry to hear about your truck!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) August 11, 2013
Perry responded, sharing her excitement for ‘Applause’ (which arrives in full on August 19th):
Perhaps our cynicism got the best of us and the ladies actually do share a mutual excitement for each other’s projects. Who knows. For now, though, we’ll file this one under “I’ll Share My Fanbase, If You Share Yours”.
‘Prism’ arrives on October 22nd, while ‘ARTPOP’ hits stores on November 11th. Their lead singles singles, ‘Roar’ and ‘Applause’, impact iTunes on August 12th and August 19th respectively.

lol
*plays ICONIC Bad Romance
bye
#staypressed
#tryharder
The promo artpop campaign looks nothing like bionic. You Xtina fans r so desperate for ur queen to win again. That’s y u can’t stand gaga. Y can’t u s**** just be happy for gaga? She loves Christina. Smh.
These ladies are smarter , than all you bloggers, the fact that you believe that there is only 1 top spot says it all, no artist truly gives a s*** about no.1’s nowdays its all about sales and making there money, what if Katy was no.1 on billboard and gaga was np.1 for weeks on itunes, or gaga dminates no.1 i the UK whilst Katy dominates no1 in the US and the a few weeks later vice versa? see no 1 gives a s*** with so many fragmented charts its all a game and as long as hype is generated to make them stay relavent they don’t care, what you think is Kumbaya is them helping each other stay relavent and everyone else falling for the so called war!
So two people can be at number one at the same time?
The struggle to argue for the sake of arguing. @Thirst Last I checked there actually is only ONE number one spot, so unless you’re coming to tell me they don’t care about going to number one they ARE competing.
Fake friend katy perry she only can sell in america no one gives a dam about her around the world no wonder her husband left her ass through text and she have the nerve to come for ri b**** you need to shut up all her men dump her she went and cry in vogue how much she loves john mayer he felt sorry for her and took her back make sure u s*** clean katy before u come for rihanna
It dont matter, B****! America is better than your small impoverished nation! #FACT thats why we were considered the largest music market! Look at the statistics! Y’all kill me on the bolog acting like Belgium & Switzerland f****** matter 😆
AMERICA>>>>UK>>>>JAPAN
Dead at you not even knowing your stats. It actually goes like
1. Japan
2. US
3. Germany
4. UK
as of 2013. Too bad your fave can’t even succeed in the one market where she’s relevant.
Exclusive: Katy Perry’s ‘Prism’ Is a Pop Music Masterpiece
Posted on August 9, 2013 by Jemuel DaSilva
Katy Perry’s latest album is a pure masterpiece.
This afternoon, I was invited to a small listening session of Katy Perry’s new album “Prism” in North Hollywood, CA, and I heard ten songs (the final version may contain 13 or 14). I am not allowed to give a full review, or even close to one, so I hope this article stays up.
I have always respected Katy Perry as a person and — for the most part — as an artist. She never touched me in the way Madonna, Alanis Morisette, Bjork or even Prince has. Needless to say, that has all changed with “Prism.” It is an epic album that not only redefines pop music, but will turn Katy Perry from a superstar into a history-making megastar. Madonna will always be the Queen of Pop, but Katy Perry will definitely be making a similar impact that Madonna did with “Like a Prayer” and “Ray of Light.”
The reason that Katy Perry succeeds where other wannabe pop queens fail is because she is not trying to be another Madonna. She is using Madonna’s influence to create her own path. Some may find similarities between some of the songs on Katy’s album and Madonna’s masterpiece “Ray of Light.” But I found the album to be more in line with Alanis Morisette’s “Jagged Little Pill,” the best album of the 1990s.
I am not allowed to mention any of the songs by name. My favorite song is one in which Perry looks back at a relationship and blames herself for the ultimate demise. It starts off slow and builds to an emotional climax. A lot of the songs are about love and Katy refuses to play the role of the victim.
I can talk about the first single, the rock-electronic infused “Roar,” since it will be released Monday. It is certainly is a great and powerful song about self reliance and self empowerment, but I found other songs on the album more deserving to be a single. However, “Roar” is a safer choice since it doesn’t steer far away from Kerry’s past hits.
There is a reason why a cocaine addict named Lady Gaga has been releasing pornographic videos, faking hip injuries to cover up for bad ticket sales, and sitting still while her fans tweet cruel messages to Katy Perry. Gaga’s album has, so far, generated negative buzz. ARTPOP was supposed to be the big album of the season. Needless to say, “Prism” will jump all over it. It’s safe to say that the album will see Perry become a Grammy goddess as well.
YASS SHELL SNATCH FRAUDY CACAS WIG AGAIN!
She never did and will never do…
“Teenage Ice Dream” got outsold by “Born This Way”, same will happen this time!
Not to mention tour numbers ………………
SMH .. KandyTits will forever live in GaGa’s shaddow 😥
lol@ your essay! Try harder next time! ”Roar” is still basic childish tune!
So is Applause. Generic dance song. But who is surprised? Her entire discography agrees 😉
You heard Applause? Damn, i’m so jealous.
T***** CACA WILL SEETHE. Katy gonna reclaim those sales boo 😉
Applause sounded a growling, howling mess 😆
I’m gonna have to wait on this one….
it’s kinda funny. i like how they did that. 🙂
Sam u dont like the truth gaga family serving roaches and rats on a platter
I hope the best for the both Ladies.. I don’t wanna hate on Katy tho because she stans for the QUEEN!
Where is Rihannabe?
Now it’s time to deal serious matters, rihoena can’t be in the conversation. when we discuss microwave albums we’ll give her a call
As if GaGa’s or Katy’s album are some kind of groundbreaking music. The one makes generic dance trash with repetitive structure – rararara gagagaga popopoker face alalalajendro judadaddas, the other onegeneric pop bubblegum music for kids. Diamonds or Stay are better than anything those two have released so far.
Whats your problem with Nicki boo? ^ 🙁 And I agree GonaRiha can’t be in this discussion.
Rih needs to do something negative to gain back peoples attention because right now no one cares only her stans.. She needs to post a half naked picture in instagram. Or shade Lady gaga or Katy.
Oh really? Have you seen that video where Lady GaGa was COMPLETELY NAKED? Aren’t basic costumes and naked poses the only thing that she uses to be noticed? And stop worrying about Rihanna, worry about your Beyonce who has been trolling you since April with snippets.
so real sis.
Where is S******? Isn’t she releasing her new album this fall? Looks like there is no hype and that people talk more about Rihanna (who is on vacation btw).
she outta bizness. she probably in a strip club in miami.
@braz bey you just wait. there’ll be some stuff soon.
Roar is a mess, katy is definitely trying too hard. i listened to the full leak of applause and it’s so so. it’s not trash like that aura song but it’s ok with a lot of noise.
Where is Rihannabe??
LMAO I cannot at T***** Caca’s thirst, she is clearly intimidated by Katy’s rising POP power.
ROAR has been a trending topic for a day straight now and has received radio airplay, in spite of the leak. T***** Caca leaks her own song and the world is mute and unconcerned LMAO.
T***** Caca should just hang it up flat screen, she was cute for the little while but the public is sick to death of the Madonna plagiarism she is serving. More naked forest runs and wheel chair antics from the fakest Madonna B side, now n*** model t***** b**** gimmick.
Better get those paws up and run naked in the forest once you hear Katy Roar because she is coming to slay Caca once again.
yeah yeah yeah, now GIVE US A BREAK. You’ve been repeating this chapter for 18 hours now….HUSH smh
LOL ^^
I didn’t force you to read it though. You don’t like what I write, skip my comment.
I LOVE YOU LOVEBIRD
I just love how Gaga f***** up Katy’s moment! #staypressed
I agree. Caca is Thirsty. Since her MTN flopped and so did her tour. Can’t wait for #ROAR and PRISM. 😉
Full length applause leaked its just a mix of judas and BR;too much hype for nothing.post it sam
I like “Red” one of her best albums!!!
I can’t wait for Lady Gaga’s single & Video & Performance
& Album… I live for Gaga. Ummm Katy Perry is ok but Lady Gaga is the main event!!!!
Yes
Yes x 2
I believe they were both being sincere. Katy fans must stop coming for the Monsters. If the two ladies are happy for each other, so should the stans…
What would a SLAYdy GODga post be without the biggest Monster (after me of course) doing the MOST??? @Shitbirds remains stanning for the QUEEN!!!
GAGA remains in your mind b****!!! 😀 😀 😀
Beyond excited to hear Applause , Got my iTunes card ready.
Who’s on your avi?
Let’s just stop
Lady Gaga>Katy Perry
Apart from Katy Slaying Gaga with Singles and Radio airplay..
Gaga slays her with grammys, VeVo certified Videos,Album Sales,Tour Receipts and Critic acclaim…
So this comparing of them should really already gaga is an Icon and a Global Pop Icon so let’s stop
Its eminem , it won’t let me reply to the other post.
IDK what drugs you pressed f****** are taking but there is no Full Applause Leak. The whole song isn’t even out yet let alone has been confirmed to be anything but a 7 second demo still. Please stop the lies and shade you miserable queens
I love seeing @Shitbird seething 😀 😀
B****, you will remain seething because GaGa is gonna slay Katy
Paw Dat
I think Gaga is reaching out to Katy to avoid a J Cole/ Kanye West slaying. Everyone thought that Kanye would outperform Cole but Cole turned around and slayed him. Katy will slay the f out of Gaga and I can’t wait! Bones are gonna be flying!
Gurl You excited for Nic’s third album? And yes. Caca Will be dismissed by SLAYty Perry 😉 😀 😀
Gurl I am salivating the arrival of the Pink Print. I know it will slay my life all over again like PF and RR did. Uhhh let me go stalk Nic’s Instagram.
“Roar” is flawless pop. Gaga better bring FIRE. I’m actually kinda irritated how good “Roar” is. I was personally hoping Katy Perry would flop this era but I guess we’re stuck with this basic b**** for a while now. I’ll be in the corner seething.
PREACH LMFAOOOO XD 😉
The fakest thing ive ever seen… Gaga knows she intimidated
U h*** so bitter. Lady Gaga kills em with kindness and the queens can’t take. Madonna wanted so bad to humiliate Gaga to get her to retaliate after she dissed but Gaga kept it moving like a lady and a bad b****. Gaga is serious about her music and career and I can’t wait to see how this era goes down! #pawsup
Yeees Lady G Is Here To Stay Whatever Her Haters Keep Going SaltyMadSadPathteticBitterAndDelusinal!!!! Let Celebrate Gaga’s New Era!!!!!!!
Disregarding the fact that roar sounds a little “preteen” that breakdown and hook gives me life! However, Katy has a tendency, to at least me, have one good song, then that song gets wack after a few months. Like, wide awake was my s***, but I haven’t listened to it in the longest. I was just watching bad romance video yesterday though. Point is katy makes safe, basic pop songs that are cute here and there. She’ll never have “impact”. That said, neither will “Slaydy Godga”. She makes cute songs, and The first album was straight, but she just doesn’t have that thing. That appeal. Almost like Madge has done that before, so it’s played. Thats why, in my opinion real legends dont need “gimmicks”. Madge wasn’t a gimmick. She had versatility. Rihanna, Beyonce, MJ, Whitney, hell, even Celine dion (though I don’t particularly like her) are legendary in my eyes because they didn’t need gimmicks. And b4 yall try and drag rihanna, look at her stats. She was supposed to flop after MOTS, but she Still slays, and she doesnt have to give a whole cabaret show and dance routine! She’s an iconic personality. Wake me up when gaga, katy, smiley cyrus, and Taylor quick slay whilst not feeling “contrived”.
In conclusion Whitney>beyonce>= Madonna> Nicki minaj > Ciara and Kelly Rowland> Gaga, kitty purry> Rebecca Black> Nivea amd lil mo >Justin, Taylor, Smiley.
Ok,I’m ghost!
You did not just say Nivea. “Okay” was my JAMMMMM
Yay Nicki 😉 😀
Nice paragraph u wrote. Won’t change the fact that Gaga has impact in pop culture. Gaga is an artist with creative control over her craft. Not some little puppet like Rihanna for exec’s to get rich off of. If anyone is a fad it’s nicki. She doesn’t even have a huge following like she use to anymore after that disgrace stupid h**. The dwindling of hits compared to a while ago in her catalouge prove my point.
Ummm Rihanna does not need a whole cabaret and dance routine cause she can’t dance. Plain and simple. How do you expect her to slay at stuff she sucks at.
B**** No One Cares About Your Fat Ass Novel Have A Sit!!!
Lord & Mighty GaGa >>>>>> S***** Titty Gimmick Perry
At the Katy Cats getting excited because #ROAR was #1 trending. Applause was too. So was Electra Heart the other day and we all KNOW Marina is irrelevant. But it’s nice to see the two get together for some promo.
Roar is a snore fest.
Great stuff, keep it comming
You people and your long ass novels! Let both of them shine! Katy and Gaga are going to win because white women are taking over the music industry. I can’t wait for “Applause” and “Roar”. You b****** will be staning hard.
Lady G Will Do Fine, She Tested Her REAL Fans With “BTW” And She Still Sells Over 6Millions!
Miss Perry’s Doing Well, I’m Here For Music So You Go Girls And Let The Party Stars!!!!!!
