What's the remix like anyway. I guess adding Missy on it is a BIT more creative than getting the most OBVIOUS names out there like Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha and Rihanna though.

I don;t see the difference between Katy Perry adding a remix to her downloads and when Britney guested on Rihanna's S&M or Britney added those others for the remix of that second track she released from this album (the son;g title, like the remix, was so bland I forget who it was or what they added to it).

Artists should be able to do anything they want to to get a number one song to promote an album and help a weak selling format. Fair play to her.
Those irritate me too. It's not just Katy Perry. All these desperados sticking other artists on their songs to make it to #1 at the last gasp is a bit much. If the song can't make it on its own merits, then sticking someone else on it to get it to #1 is exactly that...desperate.

And it goes without saying that the artists can do whatever they like. Of course they can. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
Not to mention TD will always have the stigma of only getting that 5th #1 because of a last ditch remix. It won't be seen as legitimately tying MJ's record. He didn't need any gimmicks to get that 5th #1 from 'Bad," it flat out just hit #1 on it's own. Asterisks don't look in record books.

Exactly. If a song can't make it on its own, then anything else they do to get it to #1 completely tarnishes the "achievement". Truly deserving #1s shouldn't need it.

Not even remotely the same. Adding another artist to an album track a year later or so when it becomes a single just didn't happen back then. Adding a rapper to a track/single (after the fact) or even part of the original song on an album has simply become a fairly new thing in the last decade or so. Though, there were "gimmicks" if you prefer to call it even back then... such as releasing an alternate mix as a single or making a video that features "special guests" or something controversial. To me this isn't a "gimmick". Seems to me the artist knows the song is a year old or so, and they wanted to freshen it up a bit.

Believe it or not, these artists aren't necessarily thinking... "oh let's add a rap artist to the song to score another big hit". Katy's latest single was doing quite well with out the Missy Elliot inclusion. It was an album favorite since it was released.

You're utterly delusional if you think this remix is anything but a ploy to get it to #1.

Why must you be so insulting? I just added my opinion to the discussion. You simply choose to show that you have nothing to offer substantial to a discussion when all you do is insult. NEXT!!

I hope she gets to Number 1 with the song - it's my favorite song from the album and has a great video....

I quite like the song too. It's just her desperation tactics to get to #1 that I find rather sad.

i think it's her best single off this era, but yes, this trend to release an alternate version of a big hit in the most crucial week of its chart performance crosses the line of fairplay.

well, she's done it: http://www.billboard.com/#/news/katy-perry-makes-hot-100-history-ties-michael-1005318432.story :(

Part of me is happy,as this proves how meaningless these achievements have become. Soon Rihanna will have more #1s than M. :files:

Think about it. Are you actually happy to see an act like Katy Perry breaking records?

Really? Katy Perry?

I know. It really is genuinely sad. I don't really have anything against Perry. I even like some of her songs, but she isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jackson. It's deeply insulting.

Yep. And let me tell ya why? It's because she isn't this naturally beauty that has the best voice in the business. However, she knows how to entertain. Her songs are great infectious pop songs. Certainly I am not saying they are masterpieces nor am I comparing her to anyone else in the business who is much more talented. She is her own artist. She beats to her own drum. A little offbeat and kooky. Not your conventional "good girl next door". She doesn't necessarily look or compare to anyone else. She is just Katy Perry. As a musician, she writes most of her songs. She isn't limited to just vocals as she plays guitar and I imagine a few other instruments. To me, she's a genuine pop artist. I don't think she is pretending to be anyone or trying to emulate anyone else. She also has a great sense of humor and you can see it in her videos which are highly visual and usually entertaining. This current #1 song stuck out to me when first listening to "Teenage Dream". Not because I think it's the greatest pop song ever written. Not that I think it's her best song. Though, it's just fun and goofy. When you hear the song, you know she's having fun and obviously she did the same in the video. Personally, I think music should be about having fun and not taking yourself too seriously. That stands out to me more than someone boringly standing in front of a mic, belting a song out in perfect pitch.

Anyway, that's my personal opinion.
