music Gaga vs. Perry vs. Adele

[3005 332]

I'd say Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Adele are the most successful female singers in the industry right now. Thoughts? Disagree?

 

Lady Gaga

Katy Perry

Do you agree with these three? What would you say is the best of the three? I personally prefer Gaga over the other two, although Adele is an amazing singer. Katy Perry is a perfect example that the amount of #1s a singer has means nothing compared to the lasting endurance of a song or album. She sells, but her entire combined total doesn't even outnumber ONE of Lady Gaga's albums. Meanwhile, Adele sells 20 million copies of 21. Personally, I don't believe all the critical acclaim Perry got this year was correct.

 

Disagree? Agree?

[Princes Cadance 345]

Yes, personally I like Adele the best because of her unique voice

[Proctra Music 335]

Katy Perry, musics really good and inspirational to some people.

[Fox 5,331]

Without Katy Perry we wouldn't have this!

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Honestly, I don't like any of them, but if I had to choose I would say Lady Gaga.

Is there a dislike all option? ~

[Swit Swat 536]

Adele. She's has a nice, lovely voice for singing.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Wtf? Your comment is worded exactly the same as mine lol

I did it on purpose, to see if you were awake... loljk I did copy and paste, but because it was just about the same as what I thought. Only with Adele.

Oh lol

Lady Gaga is the most creative, and will probably be the most likely to reinvent herself like Madonna (and continue to steal song inspiration from her...?), but Adele just has the unrivalled talent, I think..But that being said, I think it is a little stale. I'm not a gigantic fan of hers, but I definitely respect what she does. I think Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are just able to do something much more eye catching and interesting for me...

 

And ALL that being said...I voted for Katy Perry as my favourite because I just love who she is! She's clever, outrageous, and fun, but also so down to earth for a celebrity of her status. I feel like in some strange way I identify with her the best, even though I don't like all of her music. I just really like HER....! Plus I will forever love California Gurls and its music video....!

 

So in the end, I love all three individually for what they do, but I just have this weird feeling that I identify the most with Katy Perry. : )

[Celestial Sloth 369]

Not THAT much of a fan of any of them but I think Adele has a really nice voice. No opinion on Katy Perry and I just plain dislike Lady Gaga.

[Love Hearts 93]

Lady Gaga, only because I'm scared your avatar will eat me if I don't say her. ._.

 

In all seriousness, I like songs from each!~ (Only one I can think of that I enjoy by Adele)

 

But it has to be Katy Perry overall for me with Lady Gaga a close second!x

[Little Miss Fluttershy 678]

*Clicks on the I don't care option.* (:

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

I don't typically listen to any of them, but with singing talent alone I'd say that Adele floors the other two, BUT I find Adele obnoxious and Katy Perry even more so (hell I'd argue that Katy Perry really isn't a super talented singer, but that's I'll just "live to fight another day").

 

I find Lady Gaga the most listenable. Certainly she doesn't have the raw talent Adele has, but I just find her style more approachable and more fun to listen to.

[3005 332]

I agree that Gaga doesn't match Adele's vocal range, but in terms of talent, I think she makes up for what she lacks aurally with this:

 

 

 

The fact that she can produce that while dancing her little fanny off just baffles me. Then... there's Katy:

Even when she's NOT dancing, she's out of tune and sounds like she's screeching. Don't get me wrong, I love her music, but I feel Gaga is just far more original and talented. Same for Adele. She doesn't need the getups of Gaga to be successful.

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

I hate all these people, but I'll say Lady Gaga just because this exists:

[SrFrog 928]

I just find them all to be horribly overrated, specially perry but I'll admit to actually liking a couple of songs by Lady Gaga. Oh, the shame...

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,719]

i haven't heard much of either of those artists to form an accurate opinion on what i think of them. i've only heard a bit from one album of Lady Gaga's, and i really fucking love the production-quality of her music in it. so i'll say Lady Gaga as a temp to this right now.

[Twiliscael 3,961]

Ugh living with a "hip" mom makes you hear these artists waaaay too much.

Anyway, I would pick Adele because while she may not be my cup of tea when it comes to music, she has a unique and diverse voice that can work in many different ways. Also her music is focused on her vocals, not autotuned voices and computer generated background music like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry use.

[Jokuc 8,174]

TOTALLY LADY GAGA AND KATY PERRY:

GAGA

 

PERRY

 

nah, I don't really care.

[Halfblood 364]

I hate all these people, but I'll say Lady Gaga just because this exists:

 

Haha! This is dope as hell. Gaga gets my vote solely for this, lol.

[Tenshinohana 264]

I like Adele, because I like her style (not too much into Katy Perry or Lady Gaga styled music) and her lyrics are beautiful... And kind of painful too.

[Mephala 2,635]

I don't like any of them.

LOL.

I'm not into moaning love songs or whiny pop or...well I don't even know Lady Gaga. Weird trance dance stuff.

But it's all personal opinion. Please don't hurt me.
