Katy Perry Vs. Lady Gaga

Katy Perry Hates Alejandro, but She Doesn't Really Have Room to Talk .

Christopher
Is the irony of Katy Perry saying that Lady Gaga's music video for Alejandro is blasphemous escaping everyone but me? This is of course the same Katy Perry that was very casual about telling an interviewer that she sold her soul to the devil. Did she think that no one would ever catch that, did not care, or was just too caught up in the moment of her own jealousy over Lady Gaga's success when she sent that tweet? I do not dismiss or discredit what Katy Perry is saying, but she is a hypocrite for saying it. Perhaps she should know because she sold out talking about kissing a girl and is the best person who is in the position to make that assessment of Lady Gaga.

Katy Perry is sort of like Amy Grant in reverse. Amy Grant had a decent career in Gospel music and had a breakthrough album that was quasi-secular but is nowhere to be found in secular music or on the popular scene. Katy Perry tried Gospel, but found no success until she talks about kissing a girl and then after the phenomenal success lets everyone know that despite it all she is still a Christian at the end of the day. It had to happen, it will happen and you will probably hear Katy Perry say something about it again in an interview and who knows one day she may inevitably return to her Gospel roots. All I can take away from Katy Perry's comments are that she is one of the few artists in the industry that still has a conscious, then again pundits have been talking about how far Lady Gaga will go for fame since she first broke through into the mainstream.

Talk about Illuminati or the elite that want to bring in the New World Order all you want such discourse makes artists that promote their agenda interesting and does more to propel record sales than ignoring them ever would. At the same time you have to wonder, when every single video by a major pop star seems to emulate some type of demon possession, sacrifice, or satanic ritual of sorts who does not already realize what pop artists represent anyway. As many have pointed out, Lady Gaga is picking up where Madonna left off 20 years ago. You can go down the list, talk about Kid Cudi, Paramore, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Rihanna, and many, many more and you will conveniently leave out someone that represents and promotes evil through the use of popular music. If you want unprocessed, raw, pure, music without all of the additives, fillers, and preservatives put in by the "machine" then you should just stick with underground artists that either do not have a clue what it takes to get ahead or are well aware and do not want to "sell out" to make it. Everyone is a tool, the question is what tool do you admire and exactly how do you like your lies to be fed to you. Expecting anything more from pop music is naive at best and reckless in the worst case scenario.

Such rhetoric is what our entire popular culture is built off of. A Christian may as well not spend any time at home alone at all lest he fall into the temptation to entertain television programming that is going to plant some subliminal seed in their mind. There isn't anything left to do in this culture but to fall to your knees and pray, because it is everywhere and as far as suggestions about occult activity I think we have only seen the beginning of what is to come. Perhaps this is too much for Katy Perry and she is not willing to go where Lady Gaga has went and Christina Aguilera is willing to tread. Hopefully she can still sell records without taking it any further than she already has ...

    lmao!

    Katy Perry obviously hasn't seen Christina Aguilera's music video. She's dancing sexually in a church!

    ... Much like the performer that the "reporter" has so clearly aligned herself with, the "creative" product here was vapid, elementary, without focus, complexity, or consequence. Absolute desperation. Awful. Stop, stop, stop.

    Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of Katy Perry or Lady GaGa and my feelings on this article have nothing to do with those people. The plain and simple truth behind the incident that stands as the thesis of this diatribe is that Katy Perry was being ironic when she said she "sold her soul". By way of comparison, Lady GaGa's performance in question was clearly not so layered, lacking any nuance or poignancy. In fact, it was entirely derivitative and substance-free. To forestall any non-sequitor defense of this drivel, it is beside the point that Katy Perry's popular works are often similarly base, given the objectives of the "reporter" here. It is no wonder that "irony" is perhaps the most misused and abused word in our language... because it is beyond most people. And clearly it is beyond this "reporter". This was not insightful, or interesting, or innovative. Much like the performer that the "reporter" has so clearly aligned herself with, the "creative" product here was vapid, ele

    Please hire an editor. I would have liked to have understood the article.

    The concept of females using gay's is archaic in itself, 20 years ago again, it worked, its almost as if homosexuals are a malleable sub group while seeking superficial refuge in celebrity prototypes, releases the bondage to what many homosexuals experience while growing up in an oppressive church environment or dis connected family situations with sometimes government-less protection. "Gay's" are easily susceptible to this sort of celebrity commencement and advertising technique as exhibited by Gaga or Madonna as they need validation in public to feel safe- these women feel the need to use this against world powers or institutions while requiring compensation for their so called "service work" its as if they use gay's to make money from their inhibitions and fears while fraternizing with politics and sub communities, using art as a vice. Notice however, its about them and their own need for adulation, power, and financial requirements, generally they subjugate homosexuals while pr

    This is a critical analysis of the Lady Gaga Alejandro video- if your rolling your eyes, I am also- be certain the subject matter reaches beyond a big budget video and imposing art plagiarisms on the public while deceiving, the paragraph's below don't get interesting until the third paragraph...and this was written by an independent recording artist MikeAlike, who does not feel the need to promote himself further here. Thank you.

    I commented on this video via MTV blogs the day it was released, and stated very clearly this video is not original by its origins- it was being taunted as a Madonna knock off/ rip off in the MTV America article-comparing it to "Vogue" when in fact "Vogue" is a rip off, or before this term was coined, a re:invention of Malcolm McLaren's "Deep In Vogue" which humbly as he did for a lot of his career, Malcolm McLaren let the poor people or ones he found truly interesting star in the creation of works. Its not to type here that Steven Klein isn't a genius at

    Sick Sheeite: A cat caught in a screen door? How about a hungry Rotweiller in a meat shop?

    Why are the words "artist" and "musician" used in ANY context to these two twits? Lady GagGag looks like the spawn of Marilyn Manson's loins, and even with Autotune, sounds like a cat caught in a screen-door. I'd do Katy, if she promised not to talk (or sing).
