imo, 'wrecking ball' is a good song but gaga's 'applause' is better! her vma performance was dragging that stiff poker up the flat skinny saggy-assed version of alleged tweaking and ridiculous humping on a huge styrofoam finger that mylie put down. the media ignored gaga's act (which was good)and focused solely on mylie. they've kept mylie's name in their mouths every since. the media went from gaga consuming all media sources to spitting out mylie's name at every opportunity. i didn't even know that gaga had released her single 'applause'. i can't believe 'applause' didn't reach #1. shows what media promotion can do.
