It is always fun when there is a 'pop battle' between fans
of two singer. At the moment it's fans of Mother Monster, Lady Gaga versus fans
of Katy Perry. And all the hoo-ha? Both
multi-million-selling artists have released new singles, Perry with ‘Roar’, and
Gaga with ‘Applause’, and now we have
overly invested teenagers screaming at each other via the medium of
Twitter. One fan wrote, "we can understand why Katy is #1 on itunes, this is real music unlike floppause," while another commented on Lady Gaga, "this sounds like if Poker Face and Alejandro haved a baby!!!! I LOVE IT.
FINALLY THAT GAGA OF THE FAME MONSTER AND THE FAME IS BACK!!!!!!♥ love
this song! The Irishtimes.com gave an early verdict in the hotly contested 'pop
battle', by saying, "Gaga’s new track is detached and cold, Perry’s is
emotional and air-punching. Both are as cynical as the other, of course, but
which is better? Hands down, Perry’s." They continue, "Gaga opens the
song blustering and shouting, like a misguided opera interlude in a Eurovision
performance that sees the audience stare around uncomfortably while a robust
woman dressed in leather shakes her first at the arena. Meanwhile, Perry’s
anthem is the soundtrack to daydreams about rescuing people from hostage
situations while still looking hot / winning Wimbledon even though your knee
gave way in the final set but you STRUGGLED ON." Celebuzz reported, The
last time Lady Gaga released a lead-off single ("Born This Way"),
everyone got mad because it sounded a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself"
(allegedly). This one doesn't sound anything like Madonna (which is good,
considering what she's been putting out lately, but it also doesn't sound much
like anything at all, really." For Katy, they said, "Oh, a simple
pop-friendly beat! Awesome. But, agh, these lyrics. "I'm floating like a
butterfly / Stinging like a bee, I earn my stripes." Some are saying the
song is actually just a rip-off version of Sara Bareillis' "Brave"
(which, now that I know what that is, sounds fair); I say it sounds more like a
good chunk of the songs Katy Perry has produced over the last few years. Which
is disappointing for two reasons: 1.) it's a little lazy; and 2.) that means
"Roar" is probably going to be #1 on the charts for the next 10
weeks." So what do you think? Are either of these songs legitimately good?
