which newly ubiquitous female pop star do you dislike more?

Perry seems more unavoidable, and her music is just as dumb while pretending to be classier. Lady GaGa knows she makes trash to some extent.

katy perry is hotter

both are equally reprehensible on various levels, but i can stand gaga's music at least - also she brings the lols

gaga is closer to what i "should" like and thus more offensive to me

I think Lady Gaga is more inescapable right now, flipping stations this weekend and "Just Dance" (in all of its variations) was playing on 5(!) stations at once.

^this, although is Gaga even meant to be attractive to anyone outside of bullied 15-year-old small-town gays who think she's "fierce"

you are even more repulsive than she is

Gaga is closer to what I often like and thus better

Perry. If I knew someone into Lady Gaga, I wouldn't think them repulsive by proxy, just as having shitty taste in music.

i'm into "just dance"

ive stated my case before tho

i heard "poker face" on the radio earlier and it was just like "just dance". one is enough, thanks!

btw has anyone noticed that gaga's bridges SUCK - why does she even bother

PUH-PUH-PUH-PUH-PUHKER FACE

^^possible nadir of pop in 09

"Poker Face" is soooo much more annoying than "Just Dance"

noone notices Gaga's bridges sucking because the rest of the songs suck too

I have never knowingly heard Gaga's songs, ergo Perry is more irritating.

as much as I like "Hot N Cold" and hate everything about Gaga, Perry is really making this a more difficult choice than it could be with "Thinking Of You." if ever there was a singer who should never ever ever do ballads.

or upbeat songs....or midtempo

lol too close to home

"just dance" is just awful

right, which is better than can be said for "I Kissed a Girl"

'Just Dance' is great. 'Poker Face' is awful. Katy Perry is hot. 'I Kissed a Girl' is awful. Lady Gaga is not hot.

lady gaga wears some hot outfits

I didn't realize hot had any connotations of "makes you look like a tranny"

it does!

lol pun!

it's definitely katy perry for me, though i've only heard one song by gag-a and it wasn't nearly as offensive and wrong-in-every-conceivable-way as "i kissed a girl"

plus i find her really attractive and it pisses me off that i can find nothing else about her endearing...i can't think of anyone else like that!

I actually thought her interview about how she reconciles her stage shows with her super-religious family life and how there's no rancor or hostility there was pretty endearing.

and I like her tits.

</HI DERE>

I have no idea who lady gaga is. Also is katy perry really ubiquitous? She had that one hit and then was on the grammys, other than that shes never come up

she had a 2nd huge hit and has generally been one of the bigger new artists of the past year

And she has a third hit that has climbing the charts.

i have never heard of lady gaga either, guess i'm officially lold.

lady gaga is very strange as a phenomenon. i feel i hear her at bars

for months i experienced Lady Gaga as some random channel-surfing "oh they're throwing this shit against the wall now? good luck with that" MTV acquaintance, then suddenly she had the #1 song in the country and i had no idea how or why

Nice. I have no problem with more katy perry. Shes alright with me.

i had never even heard of lady gaga until i saw an idolator post about her like two weeks ago

i hate her more

what happened? i am confused

i only know lady gaga from that dlisted gossip blog....what song does she have out?

gut feeling is that gaga is way worse than perry

Where do you guys even hear of these hookers? I think you're all doing it wrong.

i feel i hear her at bars

lol

everybody keeps talking about gaga as this meta winky warholian art project but she ugly

yeah but people say every stupid piece of shit thing that is pooped out of the entertainment industry's butthole is some kinda "meta winky warhol" thing now.

I remember seeing Lady GaGa on "The Hills" before she hit big and scoffing at the thought of her ever being a success. Guess she had the last laugh.

i thought lady gaga was supposed to be a conscious retread of madonna, as in, downtown nyc vaguely arty boho wite girl makes records in the style of then-current high tech chart pop

she's less hot than KP and has fewer good songs that i've heard but doesn't have the creepy/maddening ideological bullshit (or, has different c/m i bs i guess) so it's a wash.

i feel gagas around me

Katy Perry gets points for being a former Xtian rocker who embraced her inner lesbian-not to assure attention. No doubt she was schooled on this by David Bowie.

no doubt she was schooled on this by every other christian girl at bible camp

Lady Gaga isn't pushed quite as heavily as Katy Perry. Perry's greatest sin is in her mediocrity. She's not outright horrible, she's just kinda blah, which makes it so much worse.

yeah I've been guilty of that completely RONG line of logic as well but it's kind of hard for "mediocre" to be worse than "awful" given the basic definitions of the words "mediocre" and "awful"

basically one is vv pretty and one is vv tranny

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

they're both good, get over it.

Kate Perry. Because Lady Ga Ga sounds like typical early 80s pop, writes her own songs, and is better than a lot of the stuff that is on the hitlists these days.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I think a pop star should write their own songs, have a good voice, make catchy songs, or just be really hot for me to like her, and Katy Perry is none. Just Dance is at catchy, and Katy Perry just shouts at me from the radio.

I also realize my criteria for what I like in a pop song are pretty dumb and reductive.

Where do you guys even hear of these hookers? I think you're all doing it wrong.

when The Gaga Renaissance happened, it made me realize how marginally talented and crazily annoying katy perry is, and then ke$ha came along and it made me realize that katy perry really wasn't thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat baaaaaaaaaad

(altho i actually do not mind "tik tok")

"Tik Tok" is better than either "Just Dance" or "I Kissed A Girl" - even though it sounds like some weird midpoint between "Love At First Sight" and Uffie via Pink.

the thing about "just dance" is that even tho it's derivative in general & by nature, it felt kind of fresh when it first hit, especially lyrically as i said way back when in that taxonomy thread. "tik tok" with autotune & "just dance"-esque lyrics feels super derivative of the moment which is my main objection with it (also it's musical theifdom of kylie)

"i kissed a girl" otoh is just totally dreadful

I think "Just Dance" maybe didn't sound fresh to me because Australian would-be-dance-divas trying to hook up PAs at gay clubs have been releasing stuff like it for maybe the last 7 years or so - mostly failed. Somehow this is one genre (alongside annoying Oz rap X acoustic guitar and sad choruses cross) where I received every single possible release to review for my local singles column.

I think you're right about the lyrics.

In the US it would be different I imagine.

i post this at every opportunity but this rmx redeemed just dance for me
http://aimt.us/blog/2009/4/23/lady-gaga-just-dance-downtown-party-network-blend-by-luminfi.html

i haaaaate "tik tok" in a way i never really hated "i kissed a girl" or "just dance" - IKAG was a catchy tune sung annoyingly and allied to a dodgy narrative, JD was just bog-standard who-cares electro made irritating by gaga's persona - "tik tok" is just HORRIBLE MUSIC. and it's like, ke$ha's persona is one i want to like (cf paris hilton, tila tequila, paradiso girls stanning passim) but i just can't cuz she does it so wrong.

basically "tik tok" is too clumsy to dance to and ke$ha is not the kind of girl you'd want to party with, she's the kind of girl who you'd have to kick out of a house party for doing something really gross like pissing in the sink

ke$ha i can take or leave at this point but im man enough to admit that gaga has grown on me in a way katy perry never has

very fond of perry, rather partial to gaga, never 'eard o' t'otherun.

Ke$ha on NPR just now, talking about how she got a 1500 on the SAT and used to sit in on Cold War history classes at a local college for fun. Scott Simon was clearly enamored.

I don't get what the big deal was with the sink incident.

'Tik Tok' just kinda confuses me because it sounds like someone heard Justice's 'The Party' a couple of weeks ago and then decided to cover it without relistening.

i just came in here to post Ke$ha

WHO IS KE$HA????? I AM V SERIOUS ABT THIS. ITS LIKE SHE JUST STARTED APPEARING YESTERDAY. LITERALLY YESTERDAY. HER WIKI PAGE IS UNSATISFYING! SHE WAS THE BACKING VOCALS ON RIGHT ROUND? FUCK THAT SHIT GOD I HATE THIS COUNTRY

/TOMBOT

Oh God I just heard tik tok. is this bitch serious?

like i mean i <3 katy cause she's just like a post-cyndi lauper oddball who is cuet and fun; and i <3 lady gagz because her shit is like good electro and matthew barney and ish

but kesha @ #1 is like the triumph of l.a. myspace-whore "scene" idiots like mickey avalon and cisco adler. just the worthless party-all-the-time internet-and-coke trash of L.A. and i hope that state gets washed into the pacific. peace out

and i hope that state gets washed into the pacific.

Sounds like somebody's got a crush.

CA is amazing, what are you talking about

I like your Gaga / Barney comparison. She looks good in blue.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d195/richhunt35/ladygagablue.jpg

we should do a repoll between katy perry and ke$ha

That would be a useless poll there is no way Kesha is less annoying than kate perry.
