‘Roar’: Katy Perry To Join Lady GaGa At 2013 MTV Video Music Awards

As you read this, Katy Perry’s new single ‘Roar’ finds itself occupying #1 spots on iTunes outlets across the globe, the beginning of what’s set to be an impressive sales run for the number.

Tonight, in what will ensure that run grows itself a fresh pair of legs each chart week, the performer has been announced as one of the many acts lined up to rock this year’s MTV Video Music Awards!

Taking place on August 25th, this year’s show will see Perry deliver the very first live performance of the single, competing with Lady GaGa yet again.

For, in what will only encourage comparisons between the two, GaGa is scheduled to perform her single ‘Applause‘ at the same show for the very first time, three months before the November 21st release of her brand new album ‘ARTPOP’.

    The promo for this era is already bigger than Local Dream’s.

  3. jada fire stan August 12, 2013

    Roar is childish and generic. and last time i checked katy couldn’t handle a mic…but i’m lookin forward to gaga’s performance, i like applause more, it’s by far the best song of the last 12 or 13 months…
    PS: AURA IS A MESS

    • Rosie August 12, 2013

      Now I hate #Roar too but you know Applause is a 2010 mess.

      • jada fire stan August 12, 2013

        Well i 1st listened to Apllause yesterday, to me it was so so but it just really grew and it sounds different from what most pop gurls have been releasing lately, it’s not plain generic like roar..i just hate the fact that it makes too much noise, well Roar is basic and katy screams too much

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      Honey, it’s no question about it. We all know Gaga will be the talk of the night come the VMA’s. Good luck to Katy but Gaga is the real star. No tea no shade.

    • Common Sense August 12, 2013

      LMAO at calling Roar generic and going on to praise a song that’s even MORE generic!

  4. Head C*** IN Charge August 12, 2013

    This was expected! who wouldn’t perform on MTV with a new single out?

  5. ATM JAM August 12, 2013

    Katy is dragging gaga with the global Slayage that’s begun. The Little Suicides are seething!

    • LittleScheisse August 12, 2013

      HONEY GAGA RELEASED HER SONG TO THE PUBLIC WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING! SHE’S WITH RYAN SEACREST RIGHT NOE! GETTING PLAYED CRAZY ON THE RADIO. AND HER SINGLE ISNT EVEN ON iTunes! NOW AS FOR AZAELIA BANKS……..

    • Rosie August 12, 2013

      Already doing better than A*** Jam without being released to iTunes.

  6. Micks August 12, 2013

    Applause>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Roar. Katy will be in Gagas shadow the whole night.

    • Mother August 12, 2013

      Yesssssss GAWD!! Applause is slaying me right now, I can’t deal. Roar didnt move me at all.

  7. Beyawnce August 12, 2013

    Will be watching to see gaga

  8. Daniel Teflon August 12, 2013

    Lawdy I can see Lady GaGa SLAYING ALL OVER THIS SCREAMING SINGER!! Her talent has nothing on LADY GAGA!!

  9. Rihboy August 12, 2013

    Both songs suck, but applause is an ear soar! Especially the verses! It couldnt get more dated or generic…….of course this will be covered up with a to the T bizzare visual. Roar is much easier to listen too..i got an instand headache playing that applause mess……nothing wow about that song at all…

    • LittleScheisse August 12, 2013

      YET YOU CAN LISTEN TO RIHANNA FAKE A JAMAICAN ACCENT FOR AN ENTIRE ALBUM? LMAOOO GURLLLLLL HUNTYCAKE GOOD TF BYE! CHANGE UR USERNAME TO RIHFAG

      • jada fire stan August 12, 2013

        THIS!!! 😀
        “talking abt a fake jamaican accent”…she sounds like a cow eertime she does that

      • Common Sense August 12, 2013

        I know monsters tend to be missing a few screws in their shed, but how does a Caribbean woman “fake a Jamaican accent?”

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) August 12, 2013

      Exactly. People always trippin over generic mess. Katy’s is slightly more tolerable than GaGa’s gay trash though…

  10. Fierce & All August 12, 2013

    Katy looks cute in that pic…will be looking forward to Gaga’s performance. <3

  11. Omari August 12, 2013

    Hunty you already know everyone is going to be watching for Gaga. And her song is much more explosive. She has the potential to SHUT IT DOWN that night. Roar is just MEH to me. Gaga means business she is competitive af she cant tell me nothing.

  12. Rihking August 12, 2013

    Only watching for Katy. Not here for manly gay gay .

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      low standards. But y am I not surprised…*reads screen name*

  13. Fierce & All August 12, 2013

    Gaga’s “Paparazzi” performance in 2009 is probably the most iconic MTV performance in the last few years. So I know she will be interesting.

  14. Belladonna1363 August 12, 2013

    Cool I can’t wait the VMAs is my favorite Award show! I Cant wait to see my mother monster & i no katy will do goo as well! The only thing that can make this better is if Beyonce performed & drops her new single the very next day that Monday at 12am. Then this award show would be perfect!

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      I think katy will be boring. None of her performances have ever stood out TBH. But we’ll see. Her song is not my flavor of tea so that already makes me underwhelmed.

  15. Loyalty August 12, 2013

    I am here for Gaga personally. I am f****** ready for a big extravaganza. No one knows what she will pull out of the bag with this performance. Katy’s song is boring (for me) and there is only so much she can do with it live. Gaga on the hand… She could do anything.

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      Katy’s performance: 99% theatrics and back-up dancers 1% talent
      Gaga: 50% theatrics 50% talent

      #truth

      • Common Sense August 12, 2013

        Gaga: 50% Copy 50% Paste
        #realtruth

      • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

        Common sense, 100% no life.

  16. POP ROYALTY (FuckYeahRihanna) August 12, 2013

    So Over This Two With their Disappointing offerings.

    LooK at them Working Overtime to get that #1.
    #TheStruggle

    They Have to shove their Music down Our Throats To get to the top and Usually talk about “revolutionary pop” or “new dark and mature sound” , GTFOH you both with your generic basic asses crashing golden trucks and s*** for #1’s….

    Roar : 2/5
    Applause: 1.5/5

    *plays Where have my #1 Been by Rihanna* 😛

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      I know you aint talking about “shoving music down throats” seeing who you stan for *cough* 😀

    • TREN August 12, 2013

      these two outshine and outsell rihanna..the struggle is rihanna takin no break, workin like a s**** and releasing albums years after years..u talkin about the same rihanna who couldnt top that damned forbes list? on the other hand it’s pretty logic, $1 worth songs aint enough to make it big…

      Quote: 7 albums, 5 of them Flopped, 12 #1 songs, most of them Forgettable, She still performs like an amateur

      • Bey snatch August 12, 2013

        i was wondering the same, where the f*** does rihanna money go? yearly albums, still struglles to top forbe list.

        *Plays Party*

  17. A.MILIAN August 12, 2013

    I wouldn’t be surprised is Christina Aguilera n Pitbull perform “Feel This Moment”.:

    THEY NEED THESE PERFORMANCES:

    LADY GAGA : APPLAUSE

    KATY PERRY: ROAR

    CIARA: BODY PARTY

    MILEY CRYUS & KHIA: WE CAN’T STOP (REMIX) *A RATCHET MESS*

    PITBULL & CHRISTINA AGUILERA: FEEL THIS MOMENT

    MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FT. RAY DALTON: CAN’T HOLD US/SAME LOVE

    P!NK & NATE RUESS: JUST GIVE ME A REASON

    THE WEEKND: WICKED GAMES

    JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE: MIRRORS/ TAKE BACK THE NIGHT

    ROBIN THICKE & PHARELL, T.I.: BLURRED LINES

    BRUNO MARS: TREASURE

    DRAKE: STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM

    RIHANNA: POUR IT UP

  18. LittleScheisse August 12, 2013

    Dear Katy Perry,
    My heart truly goes out to you and your fans. I know today was supposed to be all about you guys. And then the storm of Lady Gaga came and obliterated everything you ever tried to do with ‘ROAR’ and it wasn’t even supposed to be released. Poor you. BUT I just want to say that I will handle ALL funeral arrangements and make sure your family is coping well. Getting your scalp ripped off and bleeding to death is NOT a good way to pass. But then again Weaves were meant to be snatched. And her song isn’t even on iTunes yet…
    Lots of Love!

    • Common Sense August 12, 2013

      Such delusion… Sweetheart, both songs are beyond garbage.

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) August 12, 2013

      LOL!!! You a b**** for that one! #Dead

  19. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 12, 2013

    I dont get why people complain about them “shoving music down our throats” yet when the likes of Christina flop, they complain about her lack of promotion. smh.

    Anyway, I don’t like either songs. But I will more likely purcahse Katy’s album over Gaga’s. I’m glad that Blurred Lines might finally get kicked from that #1 spot. I see Katy already #1 on iTunes.

    I just feel bad for Mariah. The competition is real this year and I don’t see her getting a spot. Isn’t Rih releasing in the fall too? Oh well, Daydream and Music Box for life. And Butterfly too.

    • Common Sense August 12, 2013

      The only way Mariah is beating these McDonald’s drive through releases if she releases some monster quality single ala We Belong Together. That kind of lightning is rare though…

    • Love Divas August 13, 2013

      We’re now comparing the young and new artist. Mariah is already a legend so it doesn’t matter if she got another hit or not.

  20. Fierce & All August 12, 2013

    @littlescheisse with Burqa and Applause released, I’m feeling confident Gaga’s new album will be amazing. This era is looking like my favorite so far after The Fame Monster.

    • LittleScheisse August 12, 2013

      IKR! DANCE ANTHEMS! SO SWEET OF YOU *kisses you on cheek*

  21. Little Monster August 12, 2013

    HA! Erm what can I say… Its brave of you Katy. I’ll leave it at that for now.

  22. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 12, 2013

    LOl, TGJ is now about Katy vs Gaga. What happened to Beyonce vs Rihanna??

    • Rihking August 12, 2013

      IKR I miss half of the b****** I used to fight with now we’re stuck with these b******.

    • stella August 12, 2013

      Rumours has it that Bey will perform there. Rihanna confirmed that she won’t attend. And thanks God both stan bases can rest for a while, that war is tiring 🙂

    • Micks August 12, 2013

      Girl it will always be about Beyoncé and Rihanna. They are both quiet right now. Rihanna’s cut off her album and is refusing to release anymore videos from Unapologetic and Beyonce is refusing to release anything point blank period.

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 12, 2013

        LOL @ the last part

  23. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. August 12, 2013

    two gimmicks

  24. Rihboy August 12, 2013

    Thats a bajan accent sweetie…and yes i rather listen to that then some coked up psychotic…..sounding like she is possessed and in the middle of an exorcism… try again…..you can have that tired mawannabe….

  25. Common Sense August 12, 2013

    Two gimmicky “artists” releasing McDonald’s drive through quality “music” that we’ve already heard millions of times from other generic artists.

    • Fierce & All August 12, 2013

      Too bad you’ll be watching tho…

  26. KingBeyBitch August 12, 2013

    I love both of them but I will be watch to see Queen Gaga she never disappoints me live.

  27. Jay Jay August 12, 2013

    I’m kind of disappointed in both singles tbh. Applause reminds me of a upbeat marry the night.

    Ciara’s Overdose is better than both singles to be quite honest

  28. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) August 12, 2013

    Officially over 2013’s music offerings. 95% has been more than disappointing trash and recycled from the past. Not here for Katy’s yelling and plagiarism or GaGa’s gay sound and identity crisis. “Away with these redundant b*tches!” *in Mama Dee voice*

  29. DIGGER BEY August 12, 2013

    Every performer @ the VMAS might as well bring a coffin to the VMAS and jump n it, once Gaga performs! Cause she’s literally gonna draggggggggggggggggggggg b****** to death! Unless THE QUEEN performs, its Gaga’s show! And Applause will slayyyyyyyy the charts. I luv it! I already know Gaga has high power dancing in it! I can’t wait to see what she has planned! #APPLAUSE B******

  30. Rihboy August 12, 2013

    …….gaga will only do well due to hype……never the less…..as a once-upon-a-stan, this applause s*** is garbage for how long of a break she took…her performances only interest most because she is always doing some crazy s*** that if any of us in the REAL world do; we would be considered A druggie or just plain nuts…anyone could have made that basic piece of s***……what does the song mean, is she speak singing in monster or english? Will she be wearing soda cans this year?

  31. Belladonna1363 August 12, 2013

    I don’t love Roar but I like it a lot & even tho Im a Little Monster & Normally go for Beyonce & Gaga type performers I think Katy is going to do well. When it comes to the VMAs most artist know that being able to perform at the show is a chance of a life time so most artist rise to the occasion & I think she will to.

  32. JOHNVIDAL August 13, 2013

    Prepare your ears guys! This girl can´t sing live. The struggle will be big.

  33. BEYHIVE_MINAJ August 15, 2013

    Well Damn… Can’t wait to see that

  34. KattyPery’s biggest fan December 21, 2015

    I love Katty Perry she is my favourite star o all times and if u don’t like herI’ll kill u because I love her like my mother opinion real life and I’m angry with u if u don’t like her.
