Oh okay. I'm glad I wasn't missing out on some underlying theme or something I didn't notice.

Ooh I just watched the Grammy performance. It's awesome. I'd love the mv a lot more if it was like that performance.

[brener]

What did you guys think about the Brits performance?

[~StarCatcher~]

I think her Grammy peformance and theme fitted the song so much better:-(

I don't like that very colorful egyptian theme for Dark Horse.... The Brit performance wasn't that great, too.

[Refix]

I saw it today and still, heads down on Grammy's performance. The Brit performance is just meh. The neon color thingy is just so boring. Imo

[brener]

I think a dark/witch theme would be too predictable for Dark Horse video, she did great at Grammys and maybe she just wanted to try something different, pull up a powerful lady like cleopatra was an interesting idea in my opinion.

Now I can't wait for the next single announcement, Legendary Lovers please!!

[George]

^ It really was. Lol

When I watched her concert live, she sounded good. I don't know what's up with her vocals this era, though. It's all over the place.

Yeah, it was strange...

Omg, I HATED Dark Horse video!
I know Katy goes with all the trawdy stuff, and usually I'm ok with it, but this time I really think they overdid it.
One of the few parts I liked was the one with the snake and the stone wall.
But in the end, it was just plain awful for me.
And just after Unconditionally, which had such a beaufiful, delicate and well done video!!
I'm kind of diappointed.

The Brit performance was nice: I actually like this neon-egyptian theme!
It's just that in Dark Horse video it came out cheap as hell, lol!

Looks like Birthday is PRISM's 4th Single!

[brener]

WW album sales this week: 57,000 (2,426,000 total).

[Heavenly]

I really like Katy Perry, Unconditionnally PV was really beautiful, meanigful and everything, but she just disappointed me so much with Dark Horse PV : this whole "thing" is just an insult to Egyptian culture/mythology/history, not even trying to be visually effective, just cheap looking, bling-bling and gross.

[Delicious n Bold]

I also disliked the DH video
She wasted the Egyptian theme completely.

[CoriKaru]

Okay. So I watched the Dark Horse MV earlier today and just watched the Brit Award Performance.

Beforehand I heard her live performances of the song sucked.

Let's Begin.

1. The live DID suck. I felt like I was watching Britney onstage. All background performers overcompensating for a vapid vessel directing traffic at a crosswalk, hands all up in the air pointing every which way but OFF STAGE, that nobody is even trying to cross because they're too busy dancing to distract you from the nothingness before you.

2. The music video only sucked because it wasn't what it was suppose to be. You have people on VINE doing more with her BEAT DROP in 6 seconds than she did through 2 Lives and an entire Music Video. Da fuq?

First of all the video wasn't focused around dancing at all. Yeah we know she can't dance, but neither can Rihanna and she still came out, cane in hand to give her that third leg support for "Umbrella", which she still couldn't do on 3 what amputees do on 1, but I digress.

What Umbrella was for Rihanna, Dark Horse COULD HAVE been for Katy. Da fuq. All she did was bounce on her knees 2 times and snap and the camera cut away from that before the snap even clicked. Da fuq. And that was it.

You got guys online, shirts off, on a bench, in an office, one behind the other flapping wings to beats Katy Perry couldn't even be bothered to stand up for in her video. See?

Katy Perry I cannot......

[brener]

^ her vocals at BRITs really sucked =\ I guess the mic was at a too low volume and it helped her to mess it more...

[TITANIC]

I'm going to prismatic world tour on 22nd november in Sydney. Yay

So the 4th single is birthday

[brener]

I need her to announce the South America tour dates asap =\
