No grammy's for Lady Gaga ... the hype has died massively this past 6 months

Elvis only ever won 3 Grammy's.

The Foo Fighters have more Grammy's than The Beatles.

I don't need to say anything else about the Grammy's. 
____________________________________________________

She's sold 115 Million records Worldwide over 3 albums and the singles released from said albums. That's huge. The potential is there for her to sell over a Quarter of a Billion records. Beyond that? Who knows how far she can go...

Will she have a legacy like Elvis? Michael Jackson? The Beatles? No. Very, very unlikely. For that to happen she will need to repeat the success she's seen for another 4/5 Years then simply die. Something that tells you she's popular is the hate she gets from people like seen in this thread. People love to hate on things that are popular. Seeing that we're on a videogame forum, compare her to the Wii's early Years. It was hated because it was popular and different.

When you have a hardcore fanbase, like Gaga does... And your songs reach out to Millions more beyond that fanbase, you will be popular and successful. People hate other people liking something they don't. They hate something being more popular than what they like. To show just how popular Lady Gaga is right now, I'm gonna do something simple. Let's compare Facebook page "likes". With some names brought up in this thread.

Janet Jackson - 1 Million
Whitney Houston - 2 Million (With sudden bump, for obvious)
Elvis Presley - 5.4 Million
Foo Fighters - 7 Million
Mariah Carey - 7 Million
Madonna - 7.6 Million
Britney Spears - 17 Million
Adele - 18 Million
The Beatles - 25 Million
Katy Perry - 39 Million
Michael Jackson - 45 Million
Lady Gaga - 48 Million

I think the only 2 music artists on Facebook that have more likes than her are Eminem and Rihanna, both with 50+ Million.

She's huge. People love her. People love her music. Her music sells really well. People hate popularity.

I'm so gland to the legendary Michael to have so many fans, imagine if facebook and youtube existed during his time

Gaga is huge and i love her, but she won't get anywhere close

 

and why doesn't Adele even receive even a bit of hate!? because she's original, and that's why her album and songs still rule the billboad one year after the album's release


Because she JUST burst onto the music scene, and is only now being seen as a huge recording arists. Yes she had another album in 2008 but that wasn't even close to being a huge success. This year is her year. Her next record will also be a massive hit, but after that everyone will start hating on her as well. Afterall can't have someone gain too much success based on talent. I can tell you right now they'll be saying "every song sounds the same".



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
