Lady Gaga vs. Katy Perry? Options

[Kathleen]

So upon the release of Lady Gaga's latest video, "Alejandro," Katy Perry posted on her Twitter account, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke."

So which videos/singer do you prefer -- videos about faux lesbianism or ones that feature latex outfits and swallowed rosary beads?

Exactly. She is mainstream and that's why people are shocked. This has been going on for generations, but it's merely because someone who decides to mix synthetic music with something "uncustomary" that people are drooling and gasping. Look at Tool; they're popular with a certain demographic, but they do things 10x as weird as Lady Gaga. They simply don't get the spotlight as much because the style of music doesn't appeal to as broad an audience. (I'm not saying Tool is the only band to do something other than the norm; that's just the first to pop into my head.)

The process behind becoming obviously successful in the music industry is simple: if you can allure and charm the preteen crowd, you'll eventually latch the rest who just don't give a shit about anything else. There's nothing heartfelt about her lyrics. It's only because this generation doesn't focus as much on education as much as it used to that people aren't as attracted so intellect. Music is no longer poetic composition; now, if it's worthy enough to get people into a club to grind against each other, that's all that matters. Simply put, Lady Gaga is not new.

she was never new to begin with. whole point is she doesn't want to be worship as a pop singer who wants to look good or just do shit for no reason. she doesn't want to be glorified as an icon. she's just doing what she wants to do for her fans. can you find someone else that consecutively says they do everything for their fans and their fans only? gaga doesn't give a rats ass about the music industry, mainstraim stuff, or her own record ppl. she ignored her director when he thought dance in the dark should have been a single instead of alejandro. why? cuz of her fans appreciated alejandro more.


oh and she doesn't have a directed type of audience. she doesn't make songs for preteens. she makes songs cause she wants to express herself and put emphasis on certain subjects. who cares if tool does 10x or even 10000000x weirder stuff than gaga. it's about the message she's trying to raise for people.
