This right here is why Gaga is my favorite pop star. She does things that are way different than anyone else. No hate towards Katy, but Katy tends to play it safe. I bet Katy would be bad ass if she made her lyrics more heartfelt and less poppy and if she stepped out the box that they put her in.
I didn't like Roar that much to begin with, but UK radio has played it so much I'm sick of it. No problem with Katy though, just think she can make better music than this
