It's interesting to know in every Miley post, Gaga's name suddenly gets mentioned. Debuting in the top ten is not flopping. We all know Applause is not a smash number 1 hit like roar or wrecking ball but Gaga isn't a singles artist. The fact that she is outselling some of the biggest names in music like Eminiem, Justin Timberlake, Lana on the singles chart proves that some ppl are still here for her. Also, I wouldn't be quick to write her off as a complete flop until the album comes out and underperforms. Now about Miley, people and the media have suddenly become more interested in her and diverted their attention away from Gaga becuz ppl are not use to seeing Miley acting lewd and outrageous and it is riling up the prude white Americans that know her a sweet Disney star. Gaga has been outlandish since 2008 so maybe they are not so surprised anymore. Everyone has their up and downs. It happened to Britney. Same will happen to Miley. So she better get her coins while she can.
