Katy Perry anyone?
 

For some reason I really can't get myself to like her. A friend of mine bought me her CD but I've barely listened to it more than once because her songs tend to personify a lot of things that I dislike about certain artists. I Kissed A Girl has never been a song I've loved, but it has grown on me slightly after hearing if for possibly the 200th time. Ur So Gay was much better and is sadly very under appreciated. The rest of her album is just dull and moronic though. Her lyrics don't strike me as intelligent, more like someone trying to be clever but sounding foolish.

The album is pretty decent, better than I thought it would be! Though I think they've over played 'I kissed a girl" from what I can tell. I don't like the video, it could have been better. Some parts just look awkward to me.

I enjoy Katy Perry's music a lot, which is unusual for me since I don't really listen to anything other than asian music. I love I Kissed a Girl to death. I play and play it on repeat for hours sometimes. I also adore the video for Ur So Gay too~

She's sexy!!! lol... i like her songs!!! song for ur gay is hilarious, but some songs are catch in the beats and words i like to sing to it... hehe

I like her!
Ur So Gay is hilarious!

I really like her music =)
I Kissed a Girl is freaky catchy :clapclap

she only has two good songs.

I like the song now :) I think it's rather catchy.

I like her too. I think it's funny how people acuse her of being homophobic with her lyrics to "Ur So Gay" even saying that she is using it negatively but it's funny cause they must not be listening. She's not using Gay as a negative term. LOL It is a bit cliche but not negative. LOL

^Yes,my friend was saying that too!

I know the song, the text is very juicy but I got so happy of that song

"I kissed the girl, and I like it!"

I like her music but most of the songs that I enjoy did not make the album cut. One of the Boys is kinda ho-hum compared to her other demos.

I liked "I Kissed A Girl" a lot more once I heard some of the remixes.

"Ur so gay" is pretty funny, the lyrics are quite genius

I like her! I just discovered her after people at school was singing I Kissed a Girl LOL!

I love Katy! she's my current obsession haha.

Ummmm, I was at Blockbuster with my friend last night and this little girl, like 7 years old, started singing "I Kissed A Girl" so freaking loud :lmfao Her mom had this look of horror on her face and she grabbed the girl and told her to never sing that song again :roflmao Then her mom told her to sing "squirrel" instead of "girl."

I love her songs from her latest album, currently addicted to Hot N' Cold!!! (:

I really don't like her songs, but I have been waking up for the past few days with "I Kissed A Girl" stuck in my head and it's really annoying :laugh

I think she's okay, but I think she's just a fad.

Woooo, she has like that bestest voice! Really cool and original. On the other hand, the "I kissed a girl" lyrics are awkward to me.. and the PV as well. I don't know, I just really don't like these "trying-to-look-horny/sexy/wanted" celebrities. :no Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.

Katy Perry seems like she just LOVES attention, 24/7. Not to mention the electronic synths from I Kissed A Girl are totally ripped from Sohodolls.

Not sure how I feel about the lyrics on some of her songs, but the beats are catchy.

I loved that video, she's got a sort of pin-up look going on that I like. I wish they would play I Kissed A Girl in the bars in town, I want to dance to it so bad! Im tempted to buy her CD, but im going to wait to see another video from her.

I hadn't read all the posts before I posted, but that is freakin' funny! Im going to have to say squirrel from now on!

I heard she dislikes Miley Cyrus,so,I like Katy more.

Oh god, I liked it at first but then the radio stations overplayed it like crazy so now I think its dull

Definitely :laugh

I just found out where Katty Perry got her inspiration for the song o_o
From Scarlett Johanssen. Here's what she said.

comcast.net/news section

Not trashing her or anything, but I hope she isn't giving herself too much credit for I Kissed A Girl. She co-wrote it with three other people.

You do know that when they list names after the song title it's not just lyric writing. They also include the names of people who wrote the music. So technically she could have written all the lyrics while the other names were involved in music.

I do know that, but I do not believe that she wrote those lyrics. And even if she did, I think that's worse because they're pretty shallow lyrics in my opinion.

I don't have a source but I know she said that she wrote the chorus at least. Said she had written the chorus like 2 years ago and brought it to Dr. Luke to turn into a song kinda deal so who knows. :P

I agree.I really cant see her lasting that long.I liked IKAG when it first came out but a lil over it now.It has just been played too much.It was number 1 here in OZ for 7 weeks.

I agree now with bondingo,the lyrics are quite shallow!

It seems every white trash girl/girl 16 and under has I Kissed a Girl as their ring tone :headache

She will have a tough time not being a one hit wonder.

^Maybe she'll end up like Britney?

^Ok,I'll change it.Maybe she'll end up like 1999 Brit-Brit?

HOT N COLD seems to be doing very well, so that 1-hit-wonder thing is already smashed. maybe she'll be a 2 hit wonder? lol. IDK i want to hate Katy, but her album was just too good.

Eh? :/

She performed those kind of on the side during commercial breaks and it only showed clips of them. It seems odd they would include those performances though. And I think the Miley collaboration sounds even odder than the one with PCD, considering the fact that her and Miley were apparently feuding. Either way, I saw it on Wiki so it could be completely false.

I lolled at I Kissed A Girl when I heard it for the first time. That's pretty hilarous, although I somehow find myself liking her voice. I was like, "wow, who is that? o.o Who has that kind of voice? o.o". :p

But I'm not her fan. I Kissed A Girl is a ok song to me, but she hasn't impressed me so much I'd start to listen her for real yet. :/

Is anyone else shocked that she's not a one hit wonder? Good job, Katy. I'm proud of you.

"I Kissed A Girl" is a decent song, but I don't like Katy's image and the way she portrays herself. It's just not classy at all, in my opinion. It's why I could never be a fan -- I just can't find a way to take her seriously at all.

I might actually buy her album. I just saw the Hot 'n Cold pv and it was good but the song is luff. :heart Must dl it. :bchuck

^I seriously doubt the Miley Cyrus duet and hoping for the PCD one to be false as well.

I love Katy. When I first heard "I Kissed A Girl", I knew she would someone I watch out for. It's a rarity I pay attention to any Western artist/band for more than just one song since I listen to Japanese music so much. I wasn't expected alot from "One Of The Boys" but it's really good for a debut album. I just wish the title track wasn't there since I find it to be the worst song on the album.

I don't know if that track list is real. Miley Cyrus AND PCD? Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

I'm so glad Hot N Cold is doing so well! I love so many of the tracks on the album...I wish Thinking of You were a single too.

Since when were Miley and Katy fueding? They arrived at the VMA's together via the same limo. My sister tried to tell me that Katy wrote the song "I Kissed A Girl" about Miley Cyrus. What kind of bull is that? She said that Katy confirmed it in a magazine or something. What the hell? Lol.

Katy Perry was on Music Fair21 today. Here's the link for her performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIzd1kapriM. This girl cannot perform live but compared to others performances I've seen her do she's improving.

I actually bought the Thinking of You PV from iTunes today...watched it about 5 times in a row, and had to try really hard not to cry. ;__; She looks so beautiful! I envy her ability to take her style and make it a throwback to the 40's-50's. Not everyone can pull it off, though I do wish she would go a little lighter on the makeup sometimes.

Yay my wish came true! Thinking of You is a single ~ <3

The reason Katy is able to pull off the 40-50s pin-up look is because her body type was more common around that time so the clothes fit her really well. Hopefully with Thinking of You being a single, people might take her more seriously than some attention grabber.

I'm actually really happy to hear Thinking Of You is the next single. I heard it on the radio a few days ago and it's really grown on me since. The video was great and this one she actually can sing well live.

I think you're partly correct. Not all of us were blessed with an 18" waist, that's for sure, lol.

oh, i love katy! her song "Hot n' Cold" was the best song 2008 (for me) ^^

i love katy !

but her begin is bad < (u r so gay pv is horrible)

but now she is the best !

I am very happy with the direction her career is going. I love the PV for Thinking of You. At first I didn't want it to be a single but now I love the song. Thanks to the awesome video. :)

Sorry to be a hater, but as this is an open forum I'll politely air my grievances about this musical industry boil. I can't take a woman seriously who runs around in rompers and uses offensive slang to make a hit.

Also, not even a giant pink cake wants her, as illustrated by her massive fail here:

http://i42.tinypic.com/2w3s47c.gif





Maybe if she was willing to have founded her 'career' based on an image that didn't result out of ludicrous pseudo bisexuality and omg I'm so edgy I wear underwear from the pin-up days with yellow pumps and tee hee I kiss girls but I come from a predominately Christian background and once sang Christian tunes ^_^ Will you like me yet? -- I'd think differently of her.

The first Thinking of You video was HORRIFYING.

I'm glad they made a second one >.>...

kthxbbdoll.

I hope Waking Up in Vegas is a single! :heart

InoriNoUta you're not a hater, you're just expressing your dislike in Katy Perry.
I don't think she's basing her career on psuedo bisexuality, "I Kissed A Girl" is about expermentation between two girls and "UR So Gay" isn't using the word 'gay' as in being homosexaul, just as it is being now uesd like 'that's gay' is saying 'that's stupid'.
I'm not attacking you or anything, just expressing what I think Katy's real intentions are.

And that's one of the reasons why I don't like her. Anybody who propagates the use of the phrase "that's gay" doesn't get any cool points in my book.

I wrote my own version of "I Kissed a Girl", but I can't post it here. *cough*

Now that I think about it, I don't even know the lyrics of I Kissed A Girl beyond "I kissed a girl and I liked it". I just thought the song was catchy.

Well I don't even think Yum's description of her use of the word was even correct. In Ur So Gay she is saying that her boyfriend is so gay, as in homosexual, because he portrays all these gay stereotypes, yet isn't even gay himself. Despite being gay myself, I've never actually found it offensive because I found it humorous. I just think that people shouldn't take things like that so seriously. There are plenty of gay stereotypes that are widespread throughout the gay community and she uses those to her advantage in the song to pinpoint how her boyfriend does all these "gay" things but isn't even gay himself. I could see why someone would find it offensive but I just don't find myself bothered by it. Going into the whole stereotypes thing is always too controversial, at least for this board, so I don't want to touch the issue any further.

I Kissed a Girl, on the other hand, did sort of annoy me for a bit because of the lyrics. When she admitted that she never actually has kissed a girl in real life, it seems to discredit the lyrics of the song, but I grew to like the song and the lyrics. I can easily see why people would call Katy a poser for doing this and pretending to be that, but with the way the music industry is at the moment, it almost seems like you have to really go out there in order to get attention. Whether she's widely loved or not, her attention-seeking songs did get her plenty of fame.

I've seen singers sing about relationships they've never had, experiences they've never had, and no one really gives a **** but suddenly everyone is pissy that she isn't really going around kissing girls? o_O Come on.

Oh, not saying that I Kissed a Girl isn't crazy-catchy, and that's the only thing I liked about it. Overall she just isn't my style.

And being also gay myself, I can honestly say I just don't like her. Don't care if other people do because everyone has their own reasons, and I don't really want to get into that discussion either because I've seen it beat to death in the gay community as it is.

I don't really feel the song has anything to do with being gay, and I feel like you don't have to be gay/straight/female whatever to enjoy it. For me, it's a fun song that's about pushing limits, I don't take it that literally (obviously, since I'm a guy xD)

Hot n Cold is so hooot!!!!♥♥♥~~ i lover her style in that video clips~

omg seriously i love Katy Perry, and on her album, tracks 2-7 were basically Heaven. Except Mannequin...

Anyone heard her latest collab with 3oh!3? I love it :) it's pretty fun and addictive!

Yup I mean Starstukk :) It's really an addictive song! I just made it my ringtone :D

I love Katy Perry <3 Waking Up in Vegas and I Kissed a Girl are my jams :3

^ My favorite is Hot N' Cold! lol

I hope she comes out with something quick... her first album was really pretty good

i love hot n cold too! and the pv is sooooo good :luv2 that guy is so freakin cute!!

she's not working with the best producers for her 2nd album..

i mean, they're "good" producers per se, but not for her.

they're R&B and hip hop producers..

So there's a new album in 2010. Um,

i love katy perry when featuring in Starstukk! XD~

Yes she pulls off those two dresses quite well in the video :D

And I'm guessing we'll get a new album next year... looking forward to that :P

I like Katy but she needs to stay plugged in lol.

I haven't heard much about her lately, hope she's working on new material for a spring album release =D

I don't know how that made it to number 1 for "sexiest music video." o_O

I liked Thinking of You, she looked great there!

XD~ i hope we have her new single this year...or maybe this month!!

So when does his album release? I hope we get this song soon, I miss her music :(.

Thanks for the link to the song jiarongisme! :D I was rushing over here to post that she was engaged! I'm quite happy for her :yes.
