Do you agree with the votes? Tell us by voting at the 2013 That Grape Juice Awards!
They would click on the little “vote” icon but they cannot be bothered to click “purchase” on iTunes? Wow, Gaga fans are the lowest shameless scum on this earth.
Who cares about Gaga and Katy anyway? Katy is a talentless hack who cannot sing nor perform to save her life. Her vocals sound like a Hyena’s mating call, she can have several.
Gaga is a has been flop who has to dress up in Halloween costumes to hide her face. She is the loser who let two talentless basic whores outsell her, that right there is what we call SHAME.
Lol but why didn’t more of you support it then Monsters? Kiii @ them voting on a Billboard poll but they can’t get it to go Gold
Who cares about this poll shame the albums flopping. YASSSS @ Queen Madonna stanning for Beyonce on IG
Girl if thats the case then why isn’t the album selling? who else seen that just dance commercial saying you get a discount on artpop once you buy the game.
See, this is why I don’t trust these little fan voted polls. Everyone knows Fadga is a freak and a has-been, and her album and current single are both flopping. Even two year old Born To Die is outselling it in many countries.
@Lovebird You can talk about Katy’s vocals when Britney finds hers.
But dead @ Monsters going hard at polls but missing in action when it comes time to buy the album. Has Artpop gone gold yet? Platinum wont be happening.
@Slaty pery That isn’t the real lovebird! not when he dragged rihanna for filth in the other post!! LOOOL
You must be a panini because you are PRESSED.
Anyone who thinks Taylor Swift’s tour is better than Beyonce’s deserves several _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/….anyone who thinks Miley Cyrus AMA Mess is better than the superbowl better go to school
WHO FUKKIN CARES THOUGH!?!?!?!?!
IF SHE HAD TO WIN SOMETHING LET HER ASS HAVE THIS ONE!
Too bad Art Flop is struggling to go gold and won’t see platnuim. #SEEEEETH LITTLE FA**OTS
Taylor swift won best tour!!
