***Flawless was the highest album track in the rate.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that ***Flawless is a song about feminism, yet it has the lyrics "Momma taught me good home training," and "My man made me feel so God damn fine," I'm sorry but that's the definition of contradicting. It's always bothered me.
But this....

Applause: AriNikoBradshaw boldly proclaimed it "the worst lead single released in the history of pop music."
The lowdown: It seems only appropriate that “Dark Horse” finishes as Katy’s highest-ranking entry in this rate; from the moment it debuted as an iTunes preview track last fall, the song took on a life of its own. Anointed by fans as a modern masterpiece and self-sustaining on the digital charts with no further official support, Katy was practically forced against her very begrudging will to release it as Prism’s third single. Live renditions since—including a goth stripper-witch tribute to War Horse that may have been the worst Grammy performance ever—have perhaps provided insight into Katy’s reluctance. (Or is that stilted lean-wit-it-rock-wit-it choreo further sabotage from the woman who hates “Dark Horse” like no other?) Regardless, there is a deeply campy fun to be found in the moody whirl of trap beats, supernatural come-ons and Juicy J’s Ke$ha-inspired guest verse.
ATRL says...: "YES. Katy does it right!" lovesong praised. "Her vocals work perfectly here for once, and the trap breakdown is awesome." Edge of Glory liked that the "grimy trap backbone" provided one of Prism's "few musically different tracks." Katy's "vocals don't play 'threatening' very well," he added, but "their sultriness is enough to make up for it." Dark Miracles thought it was a "very unexpected song for Katy" with "very good production by her producer." AriNikoBradshaw said it was "one of the catchiest songs I've heard from a pop gurl." It got stereo.love's booty shaking. helloDer called it "one of katy’s best songs. Ever. Super fresh."
By contrast, Penk deemed it "by far the worst thing Katy has EVER done. What do people find enjoyable about this?!" He then threw down the ultimate insult, swearing, "I'd rather listen to the 2nd half of this album on repeat the rest of my life than listen to this even one more time." madonnas compared the song to "E.T.," adding that it benefited from "only getting popular now-ish, meaning we’ve had less time to get absolutely sick of it like we do with all of Katy’s other songs." August snarked, "Whenever this song begins, I have to remind myself that the 'oh no' is not actually me expressing discontent that a Katy Perry song I actually enjoy is starting." Stevie thought it was "lukewarm," but still the highlight of Prism.
No one had any kind words for Juicy J. bluth wrote, "The most impressive bit for me is when Juicy J manages to deliver a worse verse than will.I.am on 'Crazy Kids.'" (Have you guys heard the song without him, though? It just doesn't work.)
Best bit: the synths that kick in during "Damn, I think love her" and continue to swell as Katy takes over the middle eight

Just because you are a feminist doesn't mean you shouldn't be a good homemaker or you shouldn't be flattered by your husband's compliments.
A feminist is not an anti housewife or anti man
