Just saw the Em/Gaga thing on the news. THey said

[xxTrigger1989xx]

I actually enjoyed it, tbh. It was nothing too special, though, but I didn't expect that much from it anyway. A few tracks were meh, but I enjoyed the majority of the EP.

Do you think it's better than Recovery or Relapse? Or both?

It's not that easy to compare, because an EP isn't an album. However, if we talk about pure content, I'd say it's better than Recovery--although Recovery has a better message--due to the step up in lyricality.

Relapse had the better rhyming, and it would've been much better without the accents. If I had to choose, I'd probably go with the HTS, just 'cause I enjoyed listening to it more than I did listening to Recovery and Relapse.

I do think that Recovery and Relapse have the better songs, though, but as a whole, HTS is slightly more enjoyable to me than Recovery and Relapse.

My opinion might change after a while, though.

A Eminem ft Katy Perry song would be great

[richard]

It's funny that they said that when last year without him, music business would have died.
Let them haters hate, Shady stays winning.

Lol, please tell me you're not serious....

Well, obviously not.
But Em repaired a lotta damage in the music business last year.
If you don't believe me, go read on it.
Last year was one of the most horrible years in sales (Albums) and it would have ended up a disaster without Em & Taylor, FACT.

This is true. Recently the music industry also saw it's lowest sales week ever recorded by Soundscan.

Without 'Recovery' and Taylor's 'Speak Now' doing so well, sales would have been RIDICULOUSLY low.

I will say that I totally agree.

LADY GAGA HOSPITALISED, SEVERE BURN

[Bananastyle]

Just started reading up on all the controversy from the Gaga perspective.

HOLY SHIT! She seriously has a legit cult going on. Her little fledgelings refer to her as "Mother Monster". I can't help but LOL when I see these little 14 year old girls (and possibly sexually confused boys) talk about "Remember when music used to be good without all this hate Eminem spews on this song"

The absolute ridiculousness and retardedness of today's youth is astounding. I would sell my soul to hear Em shut these little queers up and destroy Gaga's soul in song.

*crosses fingers*

[stillmatic]

Lol @ these dudes praising Katy Perry. I mean ffs.

She doesn't write her own music and is a frequent collaborator with the usual crap of producers who make all the pop hits.

At the very least, as crap as Gaga is, she DOES write her own music, she DOES have her own producers and doesn't collab much with the Dr.Luke's or Max Martins of the pop genre who the likes of Katy Perry, Britney, Kesha run to when they need a hit.

Gaga will still be here in 10 years time. By that time the likes of Katy Perry and Kesha would have been replaced by the new pop sensations.

Oh and Katy Perry is UGLY as fuck.

[stillmatic]

Yeah "I kissed a girl" and "California girls" really have that Pink edge to them, don't they?

Katy Perry, next to Kesha is amongst the worst of the lot. Absolutely 0 talent. No singing ability, no dancing ability, no instrument playing ability, no writing ability. Without Max Martin and Dr.Luke, these girls would be nobodies. Their music all sounds the same and if you replace one with the other on the track, it makes no difference. That's not natural at all.

Gaga on the other hand does have her own style (as much as she has strayed away from recently), she does write her own music, she can play several instruments, she can dance and she has her own producers and doesn't run off to the big producers. Gaga's music as corny as it is to all of us (well most of us considering the shit posted about pop artists talent in this thread), it still has a message and her music has a concept, it isn't just a collection of singles that the likes of Kesha, Perry, Britney and Rihanna go for.

At the end of the day, from someone who hates the genre, the only pop artists in the last 10 years who have some sort of ability are Pink, Christian Aguilera, Adele, Amy Winehouse and early Gaga.

"Except for covers and when she's featured in songs Katy perry at least co-writes everything she sings and does write the music and lyrics for her songs. On the One of the Boys album she wrote music and lyrics for 3 songs (thinking of you, mannequin and one of the Boys) and cowrote the other 9."

do your research first you fuck tard.

And for the record lady gaga writes less music than the likes of perry and kesha. Kesha was a song writer before a pop star.

Dude, I won't insult you because this is garbage like pop artists we're talking about. Consider yourself so lucky, ha!

Unfortunately, I work for Warner here in New York. Worse than that, I work in the pop music department. At times I've had to deal specifically with these poppy garbage acts like Ashley Tisdale and The Veronicas in person. So I know how this industry works.

Anyway, one of the first things I learned was that hardly ANY of these pop acts write any of their music, and most pay off producers and writers either completely, or give them some credit and so the artist gets co-written credits. Amongst A&R and execs here, the name that comes up always as the biggest offender is Katy Perry. In fact, it's not even a little secret, it's common knowledge amongst that Perry's music is entirely written by the producers she works with, and at times writers hired by Capitol.

This is why Katy Perry is the worst in the business. She doesn't do anything but record vocals.

[stillmatic]

lol @ you judging Katy Perry by her singles. That's like looking at Eminem with Just Lose It and We Made You.

But I'm gonna hold off arguing about pop stars 'cause it'll go way off topic.

Yeah LOL @ me.

ALL Katy Perry has is singles. She is nothing but a singles artist.

Yeah, judging her singles is like judging Em's, as if her album is filled with nothing but non radio material so she must release a "non-edgy" single to get some airplay. Yeah, no.

[xnoxiousx]

I agree Katy perry and eminem is just bad idea for song. I already am sick of fact he doing to much with pop stars.

Fuck Katy perry, rihanna and bruno mars.

We need dr.dre, d12, royce da 59, slaughter house, 50 cent and obie trice on his next cd.
