Beyond being Pop forces, the paths of Katy Perry and Lady GaGa had rarely crossed until last Summer.
Indeed, who could forget the media storm whipped up surrounding their respective comeback singles ‘Roar’ and ‘Applause’? It’s a storm that would only go on to intensify once Perry’s song and parent album ‘Prism’ went on to trounce GaGa’s releases in the months that followed.
Since then, their names and narratives have often become interwoven – with Katy often crowned superior (despite some glaring deficiencies on stage).
It appears Rolling Stone have seized on this. For, in their new interview with 29-year-old Perry, they juxtapose mention of GaGa with what could be read as a dig from the former Gospel singer.
Peep the excerpt below to see what we mean…
For one thing, it’s crazy how simple she is. There’s no Neverland in her future. “I’m not, like, a crazy ‘I’m gonna die for my fans’ type”, she says. (“It is, perhaps, not a complete coincidence that she is almost directly quoting Lady Gaga, whose chart success she fully eclipsed this album cycle). “Some people are so dramatic about it, and you’re like, ‘Honestly, you’re not the Second Coming. You’re just an entertainer.'” {Source}
Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are, it’s important to point out that there’s every chance their comments and Katy’s quote were framed a certain way to ignite furore and that it wasn’t about GaGa in its original context. However, it does make one wonder.
GaGa is renown for declaring that she’d “die” for her fans and with Mother Monster taking shots at Katy recently, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Perry to do the same.
What do you think?
Gags is still alive doe?
Well this can be looked at in two ways. 1. If Gaga would have life up to her own Hype & made visuals better then Bad Romce & The FameMonster era She would have never been in a place where some one like Katy could Eclipse her. Or 2. Gaga never wanted to be (the second coming) lol And she did all that just to make it & now she a Happier person because she no longer under Alist Super Star pressure anymore. Either way Madonna is some where right now saying- ANOTHER ONE BITS THE DUST.

Who’s Gaga?
YASS KATY !!! READ THAT IRRELEVANT FLOP GAGA! SHE IS SO DESPERATE SHE IS TAGGING UP WITH OLD ASS BENNET FOR A GRAMMY. LORD KNOWS THE ALBUM WON’T SELL BUT 10 COPIES LIKE ARTFLOP BUT NOW SHE IS SO DESPERATE THAT SHE RUSHED IN THE STUDIO TO GET SOME 2015 GRAMMY AWARDS. I HOPE SHE GETS NONE. HER CAREER IS OVER. NOBODY GOOGLES HER. NOBODY BUYS HER ALBUM OR MUSIC. SHE IS A THING OF THE PAST!!!
SHE IS OVER!! LOOK AT HER DECLINE! HER TOUR IS DECLINE! HER ALBUM IS DECLINE! HER SINGLES ARE DECLINE! HER IMAGE IS DECLINE! HER FANS ARE DECLINE! SHE IS OVER
LADY DECLINE
I WANT YOUR FLOPPING, I WANT YOUR BAD SALES, YOU AND ME COULD BE IRRELVEANT… OOOOOH
I WANT YOUR FLOPPING OH AND YOUR BAD SALES, YOU AND ME COULD BE IRRELVANT, OOOOHOH
Team Katy all the way but I prefer “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” out of both their discographies…
Those are good songs. But I like KP’s more collectively. “Teenage Dream,” “Last Friday Night,” “Hot N Cold,” “I Kissed A Girl,” “Dark Horse,” “This Is How We Do,” “ET,” … I won’t go on, I only liked Lady Gaga’s first two albums, well album and EP. She went down hill after.
My top 5 songs of both Katy and Gaga:
1. Poker Face
2. Just Dance
3. Wide Awake
4. Teenage Dream
5. Telephone (ft. Queen Bey) 🙂
I honestly don’t understand why Katy even shaded her. Lady Gaga is like… at the bottom. It’s like kicking someone while they are down. It’s just crazy how little suicides used to drag Katy for filth, but Katy is still having consistency in her success and is actually improving. Meanwhile Gaga can’t even push 2 million albums anymore. I guess i feel sorry for her because she will NEVER be big in pop again
question? rih can barely push 3mil ww album sales what does that make her?
Gaga was taking shots at Katy first, i’m glad she said something about flop ga tbh.
I see Katy Perry telling no lies if she is speaking in general OR if she is speaking on Lady Gaga. Its true, she is an entertainer. And if she fades away today she will only be remembered for those antics.
Lady Gaga’s music has fizzled and went downhill, where as KP’s has grown and become more diverse with her experimenting with different genres, etc.
How is KP’S has grown and become more diverse with her experimenting with different genres of music while all she did was releasing a leftover from Teenager Dreams for Prism? Her music are all the same LMAO
Lmao
Yeah, because she released Urban leaning Trap songs on her ‘Teenage Dream’ album ala “Dark Horse.” Or Urban Pop in the vein of “This Is How We Do.” Or lets get into the Christian Pop she brought with “By The Grace Of God.”
I am not saying a song like “Roar” shows growth, but KP has made interesting choices to develop into. On the other hand Gaga’s music past ‘The Fame Monster’ has become worse and worse trash with each release. It shows in her decline and sales. Ms. Gone Platinum in a week with ‘Born This Way’ even with the $0.99 scam, should have been able to be Platinum by now with ‘ARTPOP.’
I did like Gaga, way more than Perry, but that has LONG been changed!
http://youtu.be/hZMBi1-ti9Y
Katy always got alot to say for somebody who CAN’T SING A NOTE and moves stiffer than broomstick. Just pump out your nursery line lyrics, collect your lunch money from 11 year olds and shut the fawk up!
aww poor baby, you mad?
THIS IS CAT SH*T … #BORED #NEXT
“It is, perhaps, not a complete coincidence that she is almost directly quoting Lady Gaga, whose chart success she fully eclipsed this album cycle). “Some people are so dramatic about it, and you’re like, ‘Honestly, you’re not the Second Coming. You’re just an entertainer.’”
Read her down Katy, yas lol
To be honest not even a fan of Lady Gaga but I think we all know who’s the better artists. I think Katy’s music is generic like yeah it was all catchy and radio friendly like it sells well but I’m giving an applaud for Gaga for trying to be different, All of her album sounds different compare to each other and people want her to do the same thing over2 n again like Katy it’s not gonna happen cause she’s evolving whether you like or not. While Teenage Dream and Prism sounds the same like there’s no effort from katy at all she didn’t even grown as an artist or she’s not even an artists. All she cares about is charting. And I see so many hates send towards Gaga like gurllll for real just let her do her stuff. If she’s obsessed with her fans, so what? If she’s crazy, So what? The industry’s gonna flood with ‘Katy Perry’ if there’s no LADY GAGA and that’s not a good thing.
I’m not a fan of neither but Gaga was pressed about Katy, i don’t understand why tho?, Gaga’s clearly musically superior to her, talent wise, but that just confirm how full of herself Gaga is, you’re better, that’s all it should matter to you but she can’t deal with the fact that someone as basic as Perry, is rulling Pop music, let it go, she’s so insecure, i hate people like that, you can be very talented but if you are arrogant and believe your own hype then you are even worst than talentless musicians who at least don’t brag about how good they are, i mean, Britney was very susccesful with no talent but was always so humble, same with a musical genius like Bowie, not matter how good you are, you don’t brag about it, it just look bad, she feels that she deserve to be on top because she’s superior to her peers, well guess what, the gp and harcore fans have the last words, seems like her little monsters didn’t care enought to buy her record. Let the music speak for itself, she and Kanye West must be siblings.
What an obsession with Gaga man!
I´m sorry about my previous opinion about Lana´s new album btw. Now I think it is better than Born to Die overall (although BTD was more commercial and had some songs that clearly stood along). I think my fav tracks are “Ultraviolence” and “Guns and Roses”, at least right now.
Did i lie?….Read my comment again and think about, i praised her, she’s talented but that does’t mean that she must be so arrogant……..On Ultraviolence: I’m never wrong, you must know that by now, ‘Guns and Roses’ is also my favorite, coincidence 😀
But b**** please let it GO! It´s been two years since you started saying the same thing again and again. Gaga has done nothing now, these were Katy´s words.
What kind of hypocrite? You stan for Madonna. The b**** who always has to shade someone younger and more talented than her, or cling to them because it’s the only thing giving her relevance. Kiii
When you learn more about Madonna then we can discuss, until that, i will no argue with you nor reply to your ignorance comments, go to read a music history book and you will find Madonna’s name on it, artists who have no talents don’t last on top for more than 30 years nor become so big, while you there find what a talented musician is and if Madonna fits with the description.
How can you refute that? Accept it b****. Your fav had to shade gaga to sell her last album. She’s literally always clinging to features to sell now. And she tried to cling to beyonce last December, but bey paid her dust. Keep trying.
To be honest Madonna has been doing that for some years now. And you know it. It has nothing to do with her talents and hard work (which she has). If you think about it, it is the same case as Gaga´s by your logic 🙂
The problem is, Lady Gaga is not that talented as what her monsters are trying to make her look like. She is an average artist, a little above Katy. BTW, I love Katy.
Lady Gaga is so much better than Katy Perry or any other of her pop peers. That´s all I care really.
Katy Perry feels herself too much sometimes btw. And pretty laughable when we all know how basic she is.
That all in your mind tho, Katy’s number 1’s and record sales, digital sales, video views say other wise.
BISH SIT YOUR ASS DOWN
SALES AND VEVO VIEWS DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE THE BEST LOOK AT PSY AND ALL HIS SALES AND VIEWS FOR GANGNAM STYLE DOES THAT MAKE HIM THE BEST?
DOESNTHAT MAKE HIM THE KING OF POP
@catfish carey Sales and video views obviously mean you’re the best. if no one is buying you music or watching your video’s then what do you have really?
YOU DIDNT ANSWER MY QUESTION 🙂
sales and views doesnt make you the best artist labels buy their sh!t Katy has been outed many times
Well gags did shade her first about the green hair
I like Katy she doesn’t take herself so seriously, she’s fun and carefree unlike these other pop frauds.
It’s because Katie has a LIFE. Gaga’s whole existence relies on her whack ass music and career..
That “fun” and “carefree” tramp is 30 and needs to act her age. She’s damn near old enough to be the mother of the tween demo she constantly puts out ditzy music in order to court. Embarrassing.
Same here. We’ll it doesn’t mean you are 30 you should always take yourself seriously. I mean there are a lot of people around their 30’s that are fun and carefree and at the same time successful. We are all different individuals taking our way of life differently anyways.
Well…..where are the lies?? I’m still scanning the quote to catch one but can’t find one anywhere…
hey hun
Hey Molly boo
Katy is way more likable then Gaga
“Some people are so dramatic about it, and you’re like, ‘Honestly, you’re not the Second Coming. You’re just an entertainer.’”
This applies to the BeyHIVE as well. It’s just entertainment, it’s not that effing serious.
*Goes back to the Tinashe vs Navy post. Why single out beyhive?
Well (not that it matters) it was a jab from Tinashe, even tho it was years ago. Now the way the roaches got on MC for a comment that wasn’t a diss at all says a lot. “Oh she’s the queen, Beysus and ect.” Come on, you know the HIVE and the monsters are the worse.
And at least SOMEONE is talking about Gaga. Talk about falling off, it’s like she was never here, lol.
People can relate to Katy, I don’t think people can relate to whatever gaga is this week or what she might be the week after that tbh.
Katy is just that Sweet 16 theme that every girl (and some guys) can relate to. She’s never edgey, just very safe. with her image and sound.
Not everyone wants edgy though, there is a market for everything if people wanted edgy then those types of songs would be selling a lot more then Katy has.
That’s what I’m saying. With her bright colors, lil girls want to be her. With her fun music, older girls want to relive being young. Vs Gaga that burned herself out trying so hard to be crazy and more crazy each day.
And Katy threw the first jab when Alejandro saying “Using religion for shock is as lame as fart jokes” Somewhere between those lines. And that was back when she was a one hit wonder and Gaga was the biggest star in the world… after Rihanna.
Rihanna was a flop in 2009 babe. That was after she got dragged for filth after rated r. You tried. Gaga and bey were walking all over that, tappin that a**
Rated R was a flop? 3 million WW, Plat in the stats, two top 10’s and a #1 hit for 4 weeks is a flop? Still to this day Rated R is her best work and it out sold Fame Monster that came out the same week. #Boom #TryAgain
Are you really trying to say that rated r was bigger than the fame/fame monster and iasf? Death! The navy needs to stop forreal. Rude boy completely saved that flop of an album. Weren’t its first week sales like 150k? Kiiii
And not the “outsold it first week” lmao. What were the overall numbers babe?
Fame was a huge era, but where is she now? And who is your fave? lol
What kind of comeback? Death. And my fave is number 1 today lmao
navy keeps forgetting the flop that was rih first 2 albums lol Rated R was a flop so she ran to pop dance music to save her career bandwagon artist
I try to stay away from commenting because I am superior to everyone on this site, BUT
C’mon everybody lets reflect…
Lady Gaga has a total of 4 Eras. The Fame (EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL), The Fame Monster (Extremely Successful), Born This Way (EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL), ARTPOP (LACKING IN SALES 300K from the likes of Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry)
Every Artist is entitled to an unsuccessful Era. Especially after years of nonstop success. Let’s say Katy Perry’s next Era flops, which is likely because half of her singles this Era have struggled to crack the Top 20 in comparison to the 5 #1’s her last Era had…
Will that mean she’s over? No. It just means she’ll need to come harder. If being a fan of Gaga this long the biggest thing I have learned is she is ALWAYS a step ahead of everyone.
I mean wasn’t she talking about everyone calling her a “FLOP, and OVER” when Applause first dropped? She started all of those ideas when she released that “Lady Gaga is Over” video.
But I will say this… If you think Gaga is going to flop next Era you must have truly forgotten her ability to intrigue an audience. When you’re an ARTIST everything you create won’t be “AMAZING” or “SUCCESSFUL”, but does that mean they don’t have the ability to create better than they ever had, HELL NO!
Look at Beyonce. Everyone single person on this site said she was so over and done. Look where she is now. BIGGER and BETTER than ever.
??? Roar was #1
SHE SAID HALF
KATY HAS RELEASED 4 SINGLES SO FAR EXCLUDING THIS IS HOW WE FLOP
BASIC MATH DEAR GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND DEMAND A REFUND
“Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are…”
I actually blurted out a laugh when I read that line.
Katy Perry has got her brand figured out. She knows she isn’t a vocal powerhouse nor a dancer. But she knows how to milk her success, and earn cash. It takes a lot for an artist not to take herself too seriously, and I commend her for that.
This loose pusssy bitxh needs to stfu! Always, popping off at the mouth voicing her CANT KEEP A MAN opinion about everybody else. Girl, shut up & continue to make music for 15 year old fast asss girls. Lady Gaga is a REAL performer/entertainer. Something her ass can & will NEVER be… Autotune ass bitxh! BYE FELICIA!!!
Mariah , Katy , GaGa , Rihanna , Christina , Madonna ., Ciara , Keri Hilson . All shading each other , funny how Beyonvé never shade none. ” My daddy thought me how to love my haters” y’all should take exemple , instead of having debates all day long and not getting money .
Ciara doesn’t shade she addresses haters and keeps it moving
She actually knew keri from Atlanta working, that wasn’t just an industry beef
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNWla-brL7M
I have faith in everyone I will never say a artist is over ANYTHING can happen look at gaga 17k first week sales now sold over millions dont count ppl out Your fav can be hot now and you can brag but remember the music industry cold it can be over for them just like that
17k first week?
@Mark111. N***** shut yo ass up! GOT DAMN!!!!
58K
N***** please! That weak ass shade! Mariah is a legend bye
Mariah is a legend and Aaliyah is …….. dead
Dead and remembered around the world. #impact
Mark111 got dragged in this post and in the rih post. Damn
Mark can you give me an estimate on the viewers for Aaliyah’s new biopic in the uk? She’s global right?
Why are you so worried about someone who prematurely died a horrible, horrible death almost 2 decades ago. You are pathetic honey. Like seriously.
I’m pathetic? Since he feels the need to always being up my fav, I’m gonna drag his.
Because he Is mad that Cheryl will never have the legacy and impact Aaliyah has otherwise he wouldn’t ask such dumb questions about a movie that hasn’t been filmed yet.
CherylLoser fave’s photo shoot.
http://www.binaryoptions10.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crushed-coke.jpg
Mark what was the estimate? Is Aaliyah local? Omg…. Kii
Naw she had enough impact for your local fav to acknowledge her.
I doubt it. RS tried it with Lana in their current issue saying the F*cked My Way Up To The Top was probably about Lorde when we all know that’s wrong. I think she’s just saying that she doesn’t take herself as seriously as other pop artists. She knows her music is just upgraded Disney Channel tunes made for a quick pay at Clear Channel.
What are your thoughts on your new superstar Shawn mendes?
Who? (no shade)
The new Canadian it boy! He sings life of the party. He’s like 15 and from Toronto.
Cute. http://youtu.be/5fcTCMWx2-s
Who has time to continually poke “fun” at someone who died a horrible, horrible death over a decade ago? Especially when they don’t live in the country that person was from and the person they stan for is non existent in that country as well. Some who needs a life and a better hobby, that’s who. Like honestly. Making fun… Of a dead person? Wow. Life’s are needed in 2014 people. And who is Cheryl? The lady at my grocery store who makes the sandwiches name tag says Cheryl, is that who this no life having person is referencing?
Nope, she’s number 1 currently so nice try with that “drag.” And if someone’s gonna always start sh!t and try to drag my fav, I’m gonna drag back. All I said was that she’s local so stop being sensitive lmao
When Rita Whorea can get 4 #1’s in your country says a lot to your country’s music.
Didn’t Adele sell 10 mil in yours? Death
They poke fun at her death because they can’t come for her success. I laugh at them.
What success? Who poked fun at her death? All anyone said was that she’s local. Was that your othr account btw?
Maybe number one in the country where majority of it’s residents have poor hygiene but in the country where it matters, USA, she’s number NONE. The real drag is you having time to “drag” a deceased young woman. What type of pathetic
Huh?
Fact: Aaliyah is local.
Stay pressed.
Lmfao you’re a loser #ÜberFact #iArgueAbourDeadPeople #iHaveLotsOfFreeTime #iNeedALife #iHavePoorDentalHygiene #iNeedToSeeADentist
What tired attempts lmao
Reverting to stereotypes kii
Local but her WW numbers s*** on Cheryl. Mark has a point, most only can poke fun at her death cause they have nothing else to talk about.
They say MC is a legend, but what legend gets pucked out by a rapping clown and loses their job, label and man to J.Lo? The fact that Nicki is still walking after putting your lip syncing fave in her place shows that the LAMES ain’t crap.
Mariah has accomplished more musically and has more money musically than any woman in history. You bringing up her lows only bring about the recognition of the peaks- that’s what legends are made of R******. Whitney, MJ and Madonna, Janet and a BAGILLION other legends have had their peaks and valleys. It’s how you prove your worth and stand test of time. Duh . Lol at you even mentioning Nicki like there’s any relevance between the two- typical R******.
“R******”??? LOL ***DEAD***
All you said was just a bunch of bulllshiit! Facts still remain, Mariah Carey is accomplished & legendary.
.
.
All I see is, 2 DIAMOND LPS, 1 9x Platinum LP, 1 6x Platinum LP, 3 5x Platinum LPs, 1 4x Platinum LP, 5 Platinum/double Platinum LPs & 2 GOLD LPs.
.
Also, I see 18 number 1 hits & 220+ Million RECORDS (Albums & Singles) Sold WORLDWIDE… BYE MARKY MARK
Omg why is everyone so hatefull towards Gaga on this blog :O
Because she is a over rated hack who needs to jump off a cliff and take her horrible fans with her
The only reason Katy Perry is as big as she is is because basic b****** rule the world. She is the McDonald’s of the pop world, fake ass s*** that eat up cuz they want something fast and cheap. The absolutely no depth to her music whatsoever. Don’t be tellin me she’s empowering telling you to roar louder than a lion, you brighter than the moon or some sorry ass lyrics the b**** pull out her ass. If i see a lion I ain’t gon be doin no f***** roaring, imma be posted the f*** up wishing mufasa would cuz I know this p**** badder, fatter, and makes b****** madder than that one and it’s just how bad b****** do. Sumthin you Hagen das eating, ugg boot wearing, Starbucks ordering, panera bread panini lovin, bringing wine coolers to turn up fat BASIC b****** no nothin about. All then number ones and vevo but the only thing they mean is Jessica Amber and Heidi ain’t had nothin better to do that day
You´re right! But don´t tell me you stan for Ariana Grande cause in that case… LOL
You have taken those lyrics literally. It’s alarming.
