Who saw her X Factor appearance last night?

For those of you who missed it.


introduction montage & performance
short xtra factor interview

katy gets a piercing

it looks like they've pierced her nose too far back...the pictures aren't very clear, but it doesn't look like they've pierced in the right place..

Anyone know the total sales for Teenage dream? For the UK, Us or overall worldwide. I am guessing at least 1.5 million copies.

^ don't know but I plan to get the album soon.

Thank god she's adding more dates!!!

O2 Arena, here Katy comes!! Seriously getting tickets, AND GETTING UP EARLY THIS TIME. Rather than sleeping through the blessed alarm :/

To state the obvious, the tour is selling really well. I am glad she is seeing more success over here. Makes me wonder if people just generally like her second album era or the buzz surrounding her upcoming marriage to Russell have made me people think "ooh i like her, she finally tamed that sex maniac"

I am not sure if i wanna see her. She's alright live but i wouldn't jump at a chance to see her live. The again i said the same about Lily allen, and she totally suprised me. Hmmm

Just ordered her album. Firework has really grown on me.

Firework video.

As if I couldn't love the song enough already, she goes and makes a video like this! I love it! Gave me goosebumps. Only thing that really, really is pissing me off is all the homophobic comments. I'd wring those little homophobic f**kers' necks in. I just don't get it. I really, really don't get it.

How come there are homophobic comments?

i imagine not many took her that seriously after i kissed a girl, but since then she's basically released one great pop tune after another.

i've caved and bought the new album after firework.

I've just watched the Firwork video, and what a great video it is! It's just made me love the song more
I'd love to go and see her, but it's sold out

In the video you have people with different issuses, i.e: the girl who is not body confident, the child stuck in hospital undergoing chemotherapy, the magician considered a 'freak', the depressed child whose parents are arguing etc. Then one of them is a guy who obviously hasn't come out yet, and then in time with the song realises he is a firework blah blah blah and kisses a guy. Thus a bunch of idiots being very narrow minded saying it ruined the video for them, and slating homosexuals. Just nasty, spiteful people who clearly lead very limited lives. Makes me very angry, especially after this spate of suicides due to homophobia. The song was released as a tribute to those young boys, and now unfortunately a portion of nasty Katy fans (rednecks no doubt, actually no, what am I talking about, they don't have computers) are ruining the whole thing

That's awful
Yeah it angers me too. Very lovely of Katy to be among those in having a tribute to the recent suicides. Kesha has dedicated her recent tune to the suicides too.

My copy of Teenage Dream has been dispatched. Should get it by wednesday Something to look forward to while at work.

Got the album today. Listening to Circle The Drain at the moment...rumoured to be about Travie McCoy....OUCH!

Not really rumoured considering Travis confirmed weeks later it was about him and he actually appreciates the song because of that time in his life while with Katy.

Ahh right. So it had a positive outcome then, which is nice

Just read the thank you's in the album. she refers to herself as katy-hudson-perry-brand

Aww.

Some have said that the album is disappointing. I think it's really good. Been listening to it all evening.

T4 Katy Perry Real Stories is on now. Sky channel 104 if interested.

This thread has been very quiet.

Apparently ET is the next single.

Indeed it is.

I still listen to the album in full three months on, I'm proud to say. I wish that either 'Circle the Drain' or 'The One that Got Away' was a single instead.

Btw, here's some positions from the year-end 2010 chart:

8 648400 Katy Perry California Gurls
19 495400 Katy Perry Firework
29 421500 3OH!3 ft Katy Perry Starstrukk
32 408200 Katy Perry Teenage Dream
37 384500 Timbaland Ft Katy Perry If We Ever Meet Again

6 songs in the year-end top 40!

I've had ET in my head all day

ET is the next single, isn't it? So hopefully we'll see a video soon!

I still love Firework, but my favourite song on Teenage Dream at the moment is Hummingbird Heartbeat. Also, really liking Not Like The Movies now too, I used to skip it

I like Not Like The Movies too

Yeah surely we'll be getting a video soon seeing as ET was confirmed ages ago.
