true. but billboard.com said that Dr. Luke was touching it up anyways.
Quote:
Adding to the song's chart-topping potential: a "touch-up," i.e., a Dr. Luke-produced radio edit of the album version (which he also produced), according to Thompson, and a video. The label is currently "reading treatments" for the proposed clip. (Perry penned the song with Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) and Max Martin).
There are a couple things that I learned after seeing Katy Perry in concert last night. The first is that Dollar General must have had a ****** blue wig sale going on the night before, because everyone and their sister was wearing one. Secondly, I learned that Katy is truly a live performer.
Yes, I knew from the live TV performances that she’s being doing non-stop for the past year were not giving anyone the greatest impression about her singing abilities. When I was talking of my excitement regarding seeing Katy live, many of the people I would talk to would be puzzled as to why I was so excited to see a crappy live singer. Well, bracing for the worst, I entered the arena and sat through Janelle’s boring-ass set and DJ Skeet Skeet’s “original” remixes of songs that I happened to have on my iTunes already.
When Katy came out singing Teenage Dream—the song she has infamously butchered so many times before in the past on TV—I began to sing loudly as to cover up how much I Would be hearing her rendition of the song. When my throat started to hurt, I listened to what she was saying. It…was…good.
It….was…great.
I was shocked.
The rest of the night was a similar fashion vocally. I guess it’s just nerves of performing in front of the whole nation on TV or the fact that she is more comfortable in front of her fans, but she sounded substantially better live than on TV. Vocals get a solid B+. They were very, very good. Not solid 100 percent of the time, but still pleasurable.
The Candyfornia theme was brilliantly planned and executed. The only beef that I really have with that whole deal was the butcher and the fact that they spent 1 minute of potential footage before Circle the Drain of him just…laughing. The storyline itself was funny and just enough to not be too pretentious and over the top. The visuals of the night were very good, especially during ET. Stage mechanics were much more than I expected, with the cotton candy cloud moving over the GA seats being a highlight of the night.
When Katy got to the slower songs, I was also bracing for the worst. In particular, I was dreading Not Like the Movies. However, when she got on that swing like she did at the infamous GRAMMYs performance, it ended up being the best song of the night.
When the swelling chorus of Firework erupted with the whole arena cheering, I began to ponder not just Katy the singer, but Katy the artist. I was reflecting upon her catalog as a whole, how it has grown, and the overall immense potential that she has going in to her next album. And, let’s just say the future is bright for Ms. Katy.
And another sidenote, she cancelled her Sunday concert due to a respiratory infection, and she was still sick for my show. And it was evident when shown as clearing her throat while she was talking to the audience. But she still sang live the whole time, and sang well.
Overall, this was a very good first concert experience. I would have gotten better seats if my internet wasn’t being silly the day the tickets were put on sale.

A "touch up" of the song will be released to radio by its original producer Dr Luke, while the label is said to be reading treatments for the accompanying music video.
Is it just me or does anyone else think Dr.Luke will mash up ''The One That Got Away'' with ''Part of Me'' for the radio?
I think the supposed touch up will be like the criminal one, just minor changes, although it really doesn't need it. Notice they said "touch up" and not "radio mix" or "remix"
Loves it.
