Katy Perry

I'm against what that video stands for and yet rate it well. It helps that Katy Perry's videos tend to be amusing and sexy without being slutty.

Let me elaborate on my old quote:
She chooses song themes that many people of various age groups can relate to and yet haven't been heard much in the mainstream.

Also, I don't think her songs vary much musically, although she can do Christian and folk stuff, not very well, in my opinion.

Worst Katy Perry single: "Thinking of You," tiresome theme, boring musically, lousy singing, and with a bland video.

I am really interested to see what she produces next, either same old or change of style a little bit. She had to be the biggest 'Pop' artist around for that last album, she clearly has extremely good support around her but I do actually like her music I think its feel good true pop music and I hope she sticks around for the long run.

Any rumors of leaks of new material yet?

Lovely Tits!

Not so much hits

I was just listening to Wide Awake today. I usually don't love Katy Perry's brand of pop, but something about that song and it's production just strikes me. I also really like the video, like a little look into her as a person. I'm sure that the point though... just another tactic. Still powerful though!

I think Katy Perry has some similar, "empowering" messages that Kelly Clarkson and Aguilera came out with a while ago (which I'm all for), but what I don't get is the message doesn't seem to be consistent.

Firework, Circle the Drain, Wide Awake... where the hell was all this while she was sitting on that pink cloud acting like an idiot while Snoop was downstairs?

Growing as a person? Fine. But I'd hope that songwriters would be a little more together before they step on stage. With great power comes great responsibility.

Weird...

Currently, I am obsessed with "Last Friday Night - TGIF." I've probably listened to it 100 timesa over the last several weeks. This is ironic, because my Friday nights I am often working recently. Also, I hate alcohol and probably would get into some mopey existential funk if I were at a frivolous party with people barfing and dancing...

...but damn this song is catchy!

I also feel Katy Perry is darling in her video. I like seeing how she stamps indignantly over to the party house to try to get the partygoers to settle down, but secretly she's wishing to join in the fun and be hot like the other girls. Then after her "teenage dream" makeover, she is ecstatic to be "beer-spitting sexy" ha ha.

I feel she's just so cute with her beaming braces smile and giddy party behavior, which she plays up well for the video, so I give this song and video 10/10 for achieving its goals:

Katy Perry - TGIF
super catchy to me
and she even makes vomiting look cute!

So true.

Katy Perry has a split personality, one side goofy and the other (maybe the more private part) serious in kind of a change-this-painful-world way. There are many people like her. While I believe she has some growing up to do, she'll probably always be that mix. I don't mind that. It's the tits-popularity thing that bugs me. Edit: and her singing sometimes, when it's in the forefront.

Same thing happened to me. I couldn't help but think it was a really well-put together tune.
