I've decided, Katy could totally make me lesbian. She's THAT awesome.

Oh, and, on a (semi) related subject, how god damn bitchingly sexy was Brandon Flowers?! One thing I don't understand though, is why interview Davina McCall and not Brandon? She's so shit and he's so fit!

Are you able to hear it all?

I know it's different to being able to hear it on the go, but at least you can listen to it at home?

I love Firework Guess it could be a future single because its getting a lot of good press, its been song of the day on a few sites (Popjustice was one I think) and it got played on Radio 1 today.

^ It is the next single, so Wikipedia says, due to be released in October.

I don't like the song, I think its one of the lyrically weakest on the album, Circle the Drain or ET would have been much better choices imo.

I fail to see the hype on Fireworks. Catchy but unintersting as a whole for me.

Apparently Katy's sales have not matched expectations. They were hoping it sold 400,000 copies in total during it's first few weeks and it hasn't. Boo Hoo. So what.

If anything they should be moaning at acts who are suppose to be bigger then Katy like Christina aguilera.

High single sales don't equal high album sales though. Every artist is different, some have massive first week sales and then hardly sell anymore whereas others are slow burners.

Also the album leaked which may have affected sales, plus I think it was released too late, it should have released earlier.

I do like Firework but it's not the best on the album.

I love Circle The Drain, E.T and The One That Got Away. The album is SO good.

I love Firework. I think it's brill.

Also love Last Friday Night. Just such a good tune! And The One That Got Away, is a really good song, but quite sad for me to listen to. Who Am I Living For? has grown on me an awful lot. And Pearl, what a superb song. I especially love how she changes it for "She used to be a pearl", to "I used to be a pearl". E.T, again, amazing. Honestly, not a single duff song.

Another album from Miss Perry which is all killer, no filler. Bravo!

Oh, btw, Firework is directly about Russel Brand.

Plus her first album wasn;/t even a huge seller to start off with but Teenage dream has seen a big improvement in first week sales comapared to her first album

But Katy isn't like Beyonce or Taylor swift whose albums go on to sell like 5-6 million.

It's been over a week now and my favourites are definitely.

Last Friday Night (Her best song ever, without a shadow of a doubt I F'n Love it)


Circle the Drain
One That Got Away
Teenage Dream
Peacock.

It's an awesome album, not sure if I like it as a whole more than One of The Boys though. I thought I did at first, but after a dozen listens, some of it is less listenable than OOTB which I've listened to dozens and dozens of times without really getting bored.

She gets married next month, right? I know it sounds mean, but I never thought they'd actually get married... I thought it would be a quick relationship. Especially as Russell Brand doesn't have a very good relationship track record.

Good luck to 'em though. I'm a fan of both.

Do you think she'll keep Perry or be known as Katy Brand?

She can't be Katy Brand, not with the godawful "comedienne"

No I know what you mean, but they've proved everyone wrong, and I actually think Katy's made Russell a more likeable person

Listened to the album last night, love it

Katy has been great on interviews she has been doing. Seems like really nice person.

She could be

Katy Hudson - Perry - Brand

Katy Perry-Brand has a great ring to it imo

'Teenage Dream' is #1 on iTunes now...finally!

The bad news is that Bruno Mars is steadily climbing up the iTunes chart.

Why has it suddenly climbed? Isn't it a bit strange?
