*Overrated.
But I don't think she is. I think she is quite talented really. I love her songs E.T. and Circle the Drain.
Califorian Gurls, Teenage Dreams and Firework are all VERY OVVERATED. I haven't got the album so i haven't heard them.
I have her last album One Of The Boys, which i do love, but these new singles are just dull compared to I kissed a girl etc. So i decided to give the album a miss.
.
She's sh!t.
But seriously, it's catchy pop music, but when you put it beside the quality of the pop made by GaGa, Rihanna or Britney, her catalogue fades in comparison.
Her music is terrible but it’s a case of the public going along with what the media tell you to like, Perry is big and famous and has just married another celeb, thus her music must be great and her lyrics must have meaning and be listened to. She is great!
In reality her music is pretty bad and will probably be looked at as a bit of a joke years in the future probably by herself as much as anyone else, when hopefully society has progressed beyond listening to meaningless tripe.
I have nothing against the girl, she is just using her fame and doing the thing she loves, she is no worse than the hundreds of other idiots churning out their rubbish. It’s the society we live in and the current state of pop music. It just gets on my nerves when people say her music is so meaningful and great when in fact most of it is a kak handed, lame and infantile attempt to get across a moral message.
Take Firework for example, I heard the song on the radio and thought, ok, she is obviously writing a song for all the poor sad cases out there, a message to them that they are great. I guess this is a better message to kids than rappers going on about bitches and azzes etc. badly written obviously, the paper bag line being a howler.
Then I saw the video of Firework and thought it was the most over the top egotistic patronising display I’d seen in a while. Katy is putting all the wrongs right, you can be fat and gay, its ok now cause she has put it all in a video, you guys are great, how ever unaccepted by society you are. Images of her being followed by a crowd in affirmation of Katys great message of love and acceptance really adds to the statement of how truly great she is. Oh and a year ago she was telling young girls its ok to get off with each, a great message for a nation of already confused kids.
Keep it simple Katy and other pop stars for that matter. You are not healers for a crumbling society, you are nothing more than media elevated clowns that are there to entertain masses of tasteless members of the public. To people that think this music is the bees knees, go back to though the archives and experience a time when music was truly great.
Circle the Drain is a genius pop song, I would suggest you give it a listen, Katy Perry fan or not, it has substance as is evidently about her ex-boyfriend Travie McCoy and his drug addiction.
or what they & the record companies think you want to hear of course
