Katy's voice is very "vanilla" in my opinion (as Kelly would say), which is mainly why she needs all of the over the top outfits and giant butterfly wings.
I agree. I am not throwing shade at Katy either. I respect her for singing live and I enjoy her recorded (autotuned) songs.
Now, we need to proceed to comparing equals in a new thread...Kelly vs. Adele anyone?
ANd obviously the audience stans for the song, did you hear their reaction when she first sang "Wide Awake"
