No, he's saying that Katy used a lot of basic catchy lyrics on TD to cement her superstar status. Not that other way.. Before TD she did indeed have a very strong opinionated songwriting style.
I still don't understand how a team like Max Martin/Dr. Luke/Cirkut can drop the ball so consistently on Katy Perry. Literally her music ranges from trash to okay, with the exceptions of 'Teenage Dream' and 'Roar' (and the latter is all about the production; the songwriting is fairly appalling).
And yet even Ke$ha's bonus tracks that they force her to sing under duress slay lives.
AND I LAY IN BED I TOUCH MYSELF AND I THINK OF YOU
nnnn this is kinda ANTHEMIC
AT NIGHT
DOING IT IN MY SEXXX DREAMS
YOU WERE IN MY
MAKING LOVE IN MY SEXXX DREAMS!
And YFF - I'm truth telling. If Katy was going to go CCM, I wish she had just covered songs from Stacie Orrico's 2003 pop crossover instead. At least they have TUNES.
