As simple as the title. What direction should katy go next?

New single September of this year. New album Black Friday.

Keep the single afloat enough to get that Christmas #1.

From there, slay 2013.

No more singles from this album, and then seeing a summer smash possibly. If the time of TOTGA dying doesn't line up well, she needs to wait until late summer.

She should direct herself to a seat

A BREAK

Go for that 6th #1 and then take a break is what I would do if I were her..
She could do a performance of a new single at the Grammy's and then go on a break until the end of the year.

*several seats

Retirement

Get ready to be slayed by Madonna, Xtina, and Mariah.

I need Dressin Up so she should just re-release Teenage Dream with the remixes and maybe Dressin Up and Part of Me. She doesn't need to release them as singles, just do it for the fans.

So original.

re-release with 4/5 new songs....release new single in march, second in june (summer 2012 smash) release brand new album black friday 2012

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't mind a video for Not Like The Movies...

Re-release TD and pull a Kesha:
Sell them as one album or sell the new songs included in the re release as a separate EP (Animal+Cannibal, Cannibal)

So funny too.

I think she needs to take a break because the divorce is probably stressing her out right now and dealing with the 6th single as well could be double that.

Teenage Dream + Young Adult Nightmare (referring to the divorce)

That would smash!

I need a video for Hummingbird Heartbeat. I will remain pressed that this wasn't a single

Anyway, I'm not even sure if they're even done with TOTGA. Some guy (who gave us details on the Missy Elliott remix) says Capitol has one last big thing planned before they give it up, he won't say what tho. Another remix?
