I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of her new stuff. I have very few issues with catchy, well-written pop songs.
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 :chuckle:

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

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 :lol2:

So in a last ditch effort to get into Katy Generry since she is now apparently the biggest popstar on the planet I tried watching her documentary but the concert parts are SO BAD. Literally want to gouge my eyes out bad.
I surprisingly really enjoyed her Tour docu. It was a nice insight into behind the scenes plus the break down of her marriage was so sad.

It made me appreciate and like her more afterwards.



On another note.. whats keeping her video for Roar!!!
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 :manson: not that i was expecting anything more, to be frank

her 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.
