Rated R is better than any album from Katy/Taylor/Beyoncé/Gaga.

Tbh I was kinda pissed when I first heard Roar cause it didn't sound like a hit. It sounded like a OOTB track with a bigger/better chorus, that's it. Shows just how powerful Katy is.

2:47 tho

we can't all have the vocals of the queens

i'm reading the article now and there were so many moments where i was convinced it must have been sarcastic at the very least

i didn't realise their songwriting/production process was this contrived

You have got to be kidding. It's like built from the ground up to be a smash. Even Kworb's love couldn't stop it.

We were watching the Bang Bang video on a music video channel and every time Jessie came on people would make "ugh" sounds and comment on how Ariana was so much hotter

Right? The edgy lyrics, unusual melody and original ohhs really fooled me at first.

Roar would be a masterpiece if they had done something less lazy instead of the ohhhs

that yodel

It did in Spain

Comping is why mediocre vocalists like Taylor, Katy and Rihanna can sound amazing on the record

no one can get enough of the #1 it girl

Jessie looks extremely masculine in the vidya and the high-cut silver dress showing the tops of her thighs as if it's sexy or something... messy

Roar is still one of the worst songs of all time

Truly embarrassing. My favorite is the story about them staying up until morning writing Teenage Dream just for their owners (Max and Benny) to shut them down

Parent and child teas

I luv ha, but I legit screamed

It truly is. I have never seen a song with less personality. Even Pitbull and LMFAO songs have more personality.

I didn't say it was experimental. I like you, but you need to stop being so condescending.

Nothing sounded big in it to me besides the chorus. It was kinda stripped down compared to the huge bombs that were I Kissed A Girl and California Gurls. But I'm glad I was proven wrong.
