Pop. Music. Overload. Just hours after Katy Perry released her first single in months, "Roar", Lady Gaga released hers, called "Applause." It was supposed to come out officially next Monday, August 19, but due to online leaks, Gaga decided to just release the thing early. Not that her #LittleMonsters are complaining or anything.
Poll: Vote for the Best Song of Summer 2013
Upon first listen I think the song has a super catchy chorus, but it sounds to me like a party song from 1998 mixed with Madonna from 1989.... I legit feel like this song might as well have played at my bat mitzvah. You be the judge:
- Katy Perry Unbothered Alongside Shirtless Orlando Bloom as Fans Slam Singer for 'Degrading Dead Animals' While Promoting New Song: Watch
- Ariana Grande Shuts Down Haters With New Single 'Yes, And?': 'Why Do You Care So Much Whose D--- I Ride?'
- Nick Carter Reveals How His Songwriting Process Has Evolved Over the Years: 'It Has to Come From My Heart and Soul'
Listen: One Direction's New Song Sounds Like The Who's "Baba O'Riley"
But whether you like the song or not, Gaga is going to be performing it LIVE for the first time at the MTV VMAs on August 26. And of course, Katy will be performing "Roar" that night as well. We smell some friendly competition!
