Over half of these weren't even singles, they were music videos made for promo only, more specifically, for her DVD. B'Day had like three proper singles, Deja Vu, Ring The Alarm and Irreplaceable. Seeing I'm not a fan, I'm not sure how correct I am on this, but this what I remember from around this time, as I was already a poster of music forums by the time.
Deja Vu wasn't trendy, either and Get Me Bodied was a single.
Denying that Beyonce wasnt looking for another Single Ladies with Run The World is a crime. Bey has been using that female empowerment schtick all the way back from Destiny's Child. Lets not.
Look at the top ten charters from that year and you tell me what songs stick out from that pile of Timbaland produced Urban tracks, ATL hip hop, pop, rock and urban pop tracks.
But lets not forget Katy went from being a devout Christian artist to releasing songs about toying with homosexuality. I mean if we wanted to get technical..
The same two delusional Rihanna stans are really feeling themselves tonight, good for them.
Anyway, the answer is Katy. If her songs don't sound like Kelly "dance beat with rock influences"-Clarkson, she sounds like a poppier Sara Bareilles, which is essentially the opposite of fresh or innovative.

And denying that either of those tracks were sonically outside of the box and unique is what, exactly?
katy. her music is bland, boring, repetitive always the same tired pop sound.
she's shown no evolution in her discography and all her albums contain loads of filler
Fixed.
Run the World is riskier than anything Katy has ever put out.
In both cases all of their music is specifically designed to be commercially successful, Beyonce has just had some more abrasive tracks like Run the World and Ring the Alarm that could have (and did) backfire, whereas all of Katy's singles sound like they were put through a focus group to appeal to as many Top 40 formats as possible.
