fair enough. i'm just puzzled by her being declared as a pop darling these days. what is it about her? to my ears her songs are structured upon the formula of a catchy chorus with a simple, radio friendly melody and verses so bland they need to rush to their parent chorus as quickly as possible. she's more like a keisha or a pink to my ears. nothing exceptional, really. |

I think she's on the same level as Ke$ha as well. Except that I like Ke$ha's debut

I really don't know why everyone's being so snotty about Katy Perry. Her hits are undeniably catchy and well-written, and at least she has a personality and actually seems quite driven and clear-headed. Ok, her voice is nothing special, but she makes up for it as far as I'm concerned. I don't think she's a wonderful artist or anything, but she has more going for her than some of the other pop bints who regularly get worshipped in here. |

she's better than the likes of taylor swift, keisha and kelly clarkson, i give her that. but then she's nowhere near as charismatic as britney or christina, they're in a totally different league i'm so struggling to be objective here. anyways, the only three songs of hers i like are hot n cold, last friday night and the one that got away Edited by FuckBuddy, Aug 22 2013, 11:57 PM.

I like Katy Perry's songs but I am baffled at how she made the transition from behind the scenes songwriter to actual music superstar. She's a charisma void and has absolutely no artistic vision. It's obviously her boobs. |

The funny thing is I think that's the nub of it. I'm not shading here. I think musically there's very little between the two but Ke$ha's delivery and image are both, well lets face it 'skank'. Which is what I love about her but its always going to put a lot of people off. Katy has a well worn combination of sexy, funny and wholesome (I would put those in inverted commas but you know what I mean) that is completely non threatening with obvious mainstream appeal. Now, to paraphrase another conversation on here I can't abide the woman personally and have a lot of tedious, eye roll worthy issues with how she presents female sexuality BUT the lady knows how to be a pop star and I cannot argue with that. The only time I ever question her on that level is her insistence on singing live even when she can't handle the songs but generally speaking she is a pop machine in a way I would much more associate with girl groups than solo acts. And as I've said before a tune is a tune and her back catalogue is already more impressive than many pop acts in that respect. I wouldn't have said this a couple of years ago but I actually think she has a good stab at longevity now. I mean, I'd rather spend an evening in the back of Ke$ha's gold trans am but I know when I'm in the minority

I also enjoyed her movie. She came across as perfectly likeable. Considering her parents are ultra-conservative, she did well to turn out the way she has. |

Katy herself is fine if a bit faceless but that concert footage was brutal. |

such an original dance routine not that i was expecting anything more, to be frankher team's taking down every link of those new songs, i guess they're trying to save that unlock campaign they've come up with. i read her fans are to decide which of those two songs is the next single. are they really that bad? |

She tweeted that neither of them will be the next proper single. It looks like one of them will be chosen as a promo single only, to be released on the 17th of September. She did it with two album tracks before Teenage Dream was released. |

You're turning into such a music snob. Most of her singles have been very good pop songs. She's perfectly harmless. |
