@ Rated X, again Britney didn't get thrown in the Queen of pop category after her debut. If anything it took her a while to be acknowledge as a princess! I'm not discrediting Britney, obviously you feel it necessary to prove something (perhaps because you feel that her status is declining). I'm making a point to say that after 1 album Gaga has been declared by some as a Queen of pop! I don't care how much you sell, I'm not impressed until you have more than 1 hit album. I'll be impressed when she continue to still make hits after the hype and is forced to win over fans again in new eras(like everyone else that stood the test of time). B, have so much love for alot of female artist. She's done so much with alot of them in the industry (Shakira, A.Keys, J Hud, Britney and Pink and Jlo). Why are you hung up on her collaboration with Gaga! You think it stays on her mind, when indeed I'm sure she's on to the next!
