Birthday the track was a sexual come-on. The video didn't fit the song at all. It's kinda sad that Selena Homez' Birthday video was more mature.

Birthday was really unfunny. A Roar type video would have been a million times more appropriate.

Of course she did. She put a lot of effort into dragging it in the ground.
One thing Katy doesn't lack is putting in a lot of work (and money, good lord) for her career. Even if it is to sabotage it.

Birthday was always a huge flop with zero potential. Way too cheesy and not in a good way. Cringeworthy, stupid, and annoying. TIHWD in its place would've been so huge. Those 200 million views despite zero promo, zero airplay and zero hype don't lie.

The zero promo is a stretch. It was played every 10 minutes during football and it's still being played in her football ads (that nobody is watching on YouTube, hihi).

Not every artist wants to be as typical and normcore as MethNO. Why can't the coke addict's stans get this already? I'm sure she has her moments when she wants to be Methno like and she rightfully be slapped for those, but I'm glad she's seen tge light and wants to continue what she started with Dark Horse.

Katy is a bit pathetic tbh. She tries to come off as really self-aware and a person that just accepts the way the world takes her for, but the world sees her as someone completely manufactured and unmemorable with a bunch of quick generic hits and no talent or substance. The fact that she accepts it so passively and even tries to act like that's the right approach, it's pathetic.

I'm sure she would rather prove herself through her music than force people to accept some other version of events.

Nothing wrong with that.

It's so unfair that Taylor replaced Godvril. Like she makes the same music but her voice is 10 times worse, the injustice

Godvril needs a song like this (everybody does tbh) to make a comeback

All of my faves keep making better music while the quality of their videos becomes a disaster. Lana this era

The Prism era was such a surprise to me because if it's one thing Katy is good at, it's the way she owns the "pop star appeal".

Mess.

The best songs on Prism weren't released as singles so far: Double Rainbow, Spiritual and Legendary Lovers. Not surprising she had those flops despite the heavy promo overall.

I don't get this logic though. Why would Katy purposely work to sabotage her own single? What would she have to gain from losing?

If that's the case, why didn't she do that to Dark Horse, the song she supposedly hates?

I'm most excited for Rihanna and Katy's next records out of all the poptarts. Both of them pretty much set the standard for pop radio, so I'm interested to see what approach they take.
I have a feeling though R8 will have Mustard all over it.

I agree. Roar had a clever and interesting concept. Birthday was extremely tacky.

She didn't?

Jk

Capitol is going to resist Katy's instinct going forward because Unconditionally and This is How We Do didn't pay off.

If she wanted to prove herself she would've released BTGOG that is a nice song that shows a different side of her, a bit like Thinking of You, and not Roar, Dark Horse or TIHWD.

Anyway, I think I was a bit harsh on her on my other commentary. I didn't mean it. I apologize

Lord Blackout

Katy didn't sabotage ****. She just wanted to make the only nonconventional thing about the whole barfday era. That's the video she's worked the most on since E.T.
