I understand peoples disappointment in her not going ''dark'' as it were b ut for me good mpve brilliantly executed it was important to build on Teenage Dream and not alienate anyone it's a move in the right direction a ice moderation on sound and if she executes this era just as well she is likely to become the Biggest Popstar in the world no mean feat from being the girl that kissed a girl and liked it

there are shades of "teenage dreams". most notably the not so subtle nods to "last friday night" and "e.t." and there is some generic tracks there too, but i do think overall it works as an album. strangely the slower tracks seem to be the glaringly obvious hits. "this moment" is generic in its message, but extremely radio friendly in my opinion and could be a huge hit. "legendary lovers" is another smash in my opinion and my favourite track. "unconditionally" should have been performed on the x factor this week, it would have flown up the charts this week on the back of that, but another great video should see this song reach its potential. that is her not so secret weapon, nearly video takes her songs to another level.

the deluxe tracks are pretty good too, "spiritual" being my favourite. personally, i am really happy with my purchase and it will be interesting to see how this campaign pans out.

Putting my vote in for Legendery Lovers as 3rd single would be a great direction to go quite different to her other singles and its so catchy

Also appaerntly Unconditionally video has a Dangerous Liasons theme if so gonna be amazing

don't know if its been previously mentioned, but katy will be performing at the ema's on the 10th. so maybe its time to start the "unconditionally" promotion hopefully. this song has really grown on me now to be honest and i love the cover art. great news about the success of "roar" and the album sales so far are encouraging. best of all, that press release mentions she'll back in the uk in december.

i am also looking forward to the video, which was apparently filmed in london.

The video looks like it's going to be absolutely stunning. It premiers at about 1am here and I'm going to stay up to view it.

I thought Unconditionally was a bad single choice at first but I've really grown to love it. The icy synths, the tribal drums and verses/bridge are perfection. I just wish the chorus wasn't as repetive and more "explosive", like Wrecking Ball for example.

omg, it really is a visual treat. katy's beauty is really highlighted on this clip, its shot in such a sleek way, almost like a collection of high end magazine photo-shoot scenarios and the costumes are equally stunning. my favourite images are of her colliding with the car (its not as bad as it sounds) and the burst of flowers exploding behind her. definitely one of her best videos so far.

Great to hear. I'd love to see her live but I still don't know how much the tickets are going to cost. As it is right now I'm out of work and looking so I have no money. My best bet is to try and get tickets nearer the time.

I had a tweet from seetickets to say that the ticket prices still haven't been confirmed. Seems a bit late considering they go on sale on Friday morning along with presales beforehand.

according to this tweet the "unconditionally" video will out tomorrow. she doesn't say what time though, so it could be today (uk time).
Looking forward to seeing it. Waiting for my laptop to charge at the moment.
