If Britney attends, performs or is featured then the ratings will be high. All you have to do is look at the ratings MTV had in 2007 and 2008 (both shows were heavily Britney featured) to see that, especially since the 2004-2006 VMA's have experienced all time lows without her there. There's obviously a reason for that.

Regardless of how much better Gaga's performance is than whatever Britney may do, people will still talk about Britney just as much.

My local station played this today, the DJ was raving about it. So, that must be a good sign.

People only tuned in in 07 to see a trainwreck, then they tuned back in in 08 to see a comeback. She will not generate any ratings or buzz regardless if she performs or not. Heck she performed at the Teen Choice Awards and hardly anyone mentioned that. Lady Gaga is already far and off stealing the show.

She didn't even perform at the TCA's lol, she accepted an award and the next day she had over a thousand articles written about her appearance on a television show that didn't even get 4 million viewers. Compare that to Miley Cyrus (who pole danced on the same television show and performed her new single) and she couldn't even get 300 articles written about her. LOL. Britney was easily the most talked about person there and she didn't even DO anything. So epic fail again on your part for having wrong information. Apparently several news sites and publications DID care. Now imagine how many articles would have been written if she did perform. ![](http://i30.tinypic.com/258qbk1.jpg)

has fallen out of the top 10 on Australia Itunes, now at #16.. Mind you it was a quick drop from the top 10..
The official charts she's still in the Top 5 but if this is a sign that it's peaked (#2) then we need a new song please! As you know we Aussies love us some Gaga

This sounds like it's straight out of Gwen Stefani's solo albums. I would have preferred something else, like Eh Eh or Beatiful Dirty Rich or even The Fame.

Ugh I want The Fame to be a single so bad. But this was the right choice for right now.

US update? This is the first time the follow-up wasn't charting top 40 before the previous single began to tumble down the pop charts...Lovegame is done. Where is this?

Gaga and Brit fans alike should be able to recognize that they are both pop icons who generate a lot of buzz and chatter. It is undeniable that Britney single-handedly revived the VMAs from its all-time rating lows. Britney also was almost entirely responsible for a massive revenue increase for the tabloid industry in 2007 and 2008. She has been the most written and talked about celebrity in the world for years and it is a testament to the interest the public has in her for over a decade.

Yeah, Miley danced on a pole and Britney got more press for going up and talking for 15 seconds lol.
Britney and GaGa shouldn't be compared this way. Britney is a veteran, immensely popular figure in the entertainment industry, whereas GaGa is just beginning. People don't tune into a show just to see Lady GaGa perform yet. She has yet to get to that level. I think she has the potential to, but not after half a year of being on the charts.

^ Agreed. Gaga has achieved an amazing amount for her name in the past year. She is well on her way to having that must-see status, but she's nowhere near Britney's level yet.
And the comparison is a bit silly in the first place, because Gaga is clearly on a Madonna career path, not a Britney one.

I don't think Gaga is a pop icon at this point in time, she may be one later on but just because she has had one successful era doesn't mean she has become an icon. Would Rihanna be considering an icon because she had a massive hit streak with GGGB? I personally don't think so. They are A-list celebrities but they aren't icons.

I see that as well, to me the Madonna comparisons are all kind of played out ever since they started in 2003, I would almost take it as an insult now because every single female artist who has the slightest amount of interest or clout is deemed the next "Madonna" as if it's some passing trend or something.

I meant that she has iconic qualities about her. She isn't just another girl singing catchy songs. She has very successful branded her name and image into global recognition in only two years one year on the scene. She employs haute couture in all her looks -- her outfits, hair and makeup get worldwide buzz. She's in high fashion with Haus of Gaga. What separates her from another super successful pop singer like Kelly Clarkson, is that Gaga has turned herself into a brand. I think that's one of the most important things to career longevity because it will outlast your music and even you.

It doesn't take that long to reach "that level". That's not a level to "reach". Being called a "legend" or an "icon" is a level to reach. GaGa is neither. Britney can be called an icon easily, just like Madonna can be called a legend easily. But willing over viewers in an award show ceremony can be an overnight thing and GaGa is definitely able to do that. She's 2009's IT-person hands down. Everyone is talking about her. She's capable.

I'm sorry, I just don't recall anybody that I know ever saying "Wow, I'm really exciting about GaGa tonight on (insert TV show/special)!" I know that both before and after Britney's VMA appearances in 2007 and 2008, my facebook was clogged with status updates about it.

^Well no one said Gaga was as anticipated as Britney. But you can't tell me you can't become "hyped" or "anticipated" overnight. Thats just ridiculous. Britney is definitely on a whole different level than Lady Gaga though.
And btw.. I am someone who says they're excited to see Gaga perform. I was upset when I missed her Poker Face performance on Idol. So you can't say no one is anticipating it. Cause I am and I'm sure there's more.

Wow, I'm finally starting to see what Will is talking about when he says people put words into your mouth on here.
I never said nobody gets excited. I said I don't know anybody. Meaning in real life. Anybody on Pulse doesn't count, being I don't know any of them. ???
I never said she can't be hyped or whatever either. I'm just simply stating that she doesn't have that effect that, for example, Britney does, on most people yet. I wouldn't expect her to up the VMA viewers by millions because she's performing. There's no doubt in my mind that she will get there, but nobody should ever expect that, she hasn't even charted for a whole year yet. Does she draw people? Yeah, of course, but not to that degree yet, and that was all I was saying.
Oh, and just for the record, because I can almost guarantee I'll get it, just because Britney's my avatar doesn't mean I'm some st@n that's jealous. 'Paparazzi' is one of my all-time favorite songs, and GaGa is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. I did make the thread, you know.

I know that both before and after Britney's VMA appearances in 2007 and 2008, my facebook was clogged with status updates about it. I think this, along with the TCA thing, is a great example of selective seeing. I see TONS of facebook stuff, articles, twitters, etc about Lady Gaga and what she is doing. I also saw tons upon tons of articles and talk about Miley's TCA performance. Way different than "never seeing anything Lady Gaga" or "no one talked about anything but Britney" We tend to notice or see things or note things when they mention our favorites over non-favs. This is no exception. I hate to say it, but Britney fans kind of remind me of Madonna fans several years ago. Like, at one point they were #1 and had all of the attention, but now they are competing against others who are also getting massive amounts of attention-sometimes MORE attention. For some reason, fans never want to let go to THEIR artist being #1 AND NO ONE EVER being able to challenge that well after the heyday has passed. It isn't a big deal-Madonna is still roaring huge even though I am sure people would agree on a daily interest level other artists get tons of attention/more hype.

To be fair, I don't know anybody in Real Life who'd anticipate a Britney performance either. I guess it depends on who you know. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)

I have definately watched some of these awards show cause of Gaga. I'm not a fan to say, but I'm always interested in what she's gonna bring. I like her as a pop act and I love pop culture. I think she's got it.
