Pop star KATY PERRY was forced to battle with record label bosses because they originally wanted her to copy AVRIL LAVIGNE.
When the
I Kissed A Girl hitmaker was starting out in the industry, every music chief she encountered encouraged her to follow in the footsteps of
Lavigne, whose punk pop style was ruling the charts at the time.
But
Perry was determined to stick to her own image, even if it meant turning down lucrative offers from several record labels like what she did with the
Avril Lavigne record label.
Katy says,
"When I first started at 17, the hit song was Complicated (by Avril Lavigne) and everyone wanted me to write a Complicated. I said, 'Look, that's her and this is me. Everybody loves her songs and hopefully everyone will like mines.'"

Katy seems fake with that opinion but I think she made the right decision, because every Avril wannabe failed but let's see how katy do it she still at the very begining of her career.
also what is katy's style?? she doesn't have a unique style or type of music, she's like a mix of many artist but anyway
