Firework is the worst thing she has ever done. Sorry Katy, but it is. I hope she gets a bigger hit than that in the future.
I wholeheartedly disagre its probably one of her strongest singles with a really good message and great video to boot i think its far superior to BTW and was far more succesful in conveying its meaning as it wasn't preachy

It really annoys me that people just buy her singles. You can guarantee that most of thee people will have bought all her singles and not the album. So ridiculous lol, her album sales could have been MASSIVE.

I wonder if it's just because people would rather have the 'one song' at a time? I'm the complete opposite, I need a full body of work to enjoy - I hate just waiting for a new single (pre-album release) haha.

I have yet to get mine, despite pre ordering a month ago and having it dispatched Friday
The front horror is horrible. I hope the booklet is scented like the original.

I agree, it annoys me when people just go for singles and not the albums. I avoid singles usually and actually end up liking the album tracks much more.

I bought the album once i paid £15.99 in fact why pay another £10 for three okay songs and an album i already own ?

And why are people complaining about it sales its like 15,000 off a million which is great in this day and age

You paid 16 quid for her album. No offense but more fool you. I've never in my life paid that for an album. I got my original copy for under nine pound.

It was the deluxe gate fold pack i didn't mind and it was in Edinburgh twas worth it either way re-release i do not buy if the artist loved their fans would not expect them to shell out more for music they already own all for the sake of 3 extra songs ad remixes already available.

But saw the 3D cover was rather cool i must say

Oh i understand
I totally get frustrations regarding re-release. I like them personally. But a dvd full of videos wouldn't have hurt otherwise it goes against the word "Complete Confection"

Haha i didn't go crazy it was the deluxe

And yeah i mean its missing the B.O.B remix too (which although appalling) stops it being the complete confection and yeah a tour DVD or the videos plus making of would have been good it seems a little pointless has yours come by the way or still waiting ?

I am still waiting. My post comes between 10-2 so i'll know by 2 o'clock.

Yeah the BOB mix was appaling but was missed out randomly. I am happy she included the acoustic version though.

I hope it comes for you today who'd did you order from i use Amazon and have had trouble with pre-orders in the past.

and i think mainly because it was so bad and perhaps she got it was a mistake and realised she should have just done the Acoustic which is miles better and I really love it

No no, I mean in terms of the original release. It just annoys me when people claim to be 'fans' of someone and only buy what's the latest 'cool' song from them if you get me?

As you say, I've only bought the 3 new songs for iTunes, I'm not rebuying the entire album lol.

My point being that if you want to buy all of her singles, why not just buy the album? (if they haven't got it)

I know this is random, but has there been any confirmation at all about the eighth single? Will it be from the re-release or from the standard release of Teenage Dream?

I know what you mean

I know people who are "fans" of particular artists but yet they illegally download all their music and perhaps only check out the singles they release

That is a pet hate of mine

I agree i hate singles buyers i buy the first single (or two in the case of Td) then the album all the way.

and of course if a re-release occurs then just DL the new ones

why just DL the singles would it not be heaper to buy the album lol

Although confession time i did Youtube convert wide awake and dressin up i know but i had already bough BOB remix four singles and the album so i think i should be forgiven

anyway was listening to one of the boys again its been a while but i love i never envisaged for one minute when i bought it in 08 how big she would become i wonder whether she will go back to pop/punk rock next time

She has said for Album 3 she wants to go back to her roots and Rock/Punk are her roots so very likely

I love her debut album. She has done two great pop eras to be honest. Both different.

I think that is what struck me most how different they actually are i mean TD has been on loop since release but OTB forgot how punky tongue in cheek it was glad to hear she is bringing back some of her roots i expect it to be angsty after Russell
