Iggy Azalea gives me Lady Gaga vibes. Everything about her seems fake. Her hair.
Her "rapping voice." The completely unoriginal "Clueless" music video.
She will overshadow Nicki Minaj this era, but then quickly fade.

Her musicality seems fake to me but her as a person seems real. Although I am annoyed by her constant talk about magazines, like, its gonna happen
This is one of the easiest songs to review to come out of the past ten years. It’s so clean, it practically sparkles. I’ve already heard it twice at the deli, coming out of the stereo surround system, near the prepackaged lunches. I’ve listened to it at home, late at night, drinking martinis with the boyfriend. Typically, it is in the company of a “Do What U Want” or “Partition” or some old Christina. Ecstatic, popped-collar Prince-pop is a good look for Katy Perry.

Iggy slaying now has got to be killing A. Bankrupt by now. The slow searing pain on her overinflated ego...I wish I could be there to see it! In reality though, what I'd really witness would be Miss Camaraderie on a street corner, wearing a 6 month old dirty weave, toasting rats over a burn barrel with a few other homeless people (probably Kesha).
Full critical disclosure: I want to hate this song really badly. Not just because Katy Perry is involved…though, hey, Katy Perry is involved. “Birthday” is packed with a handful of dreadful metaphors, which are all about ****ing. Most likely directed at John Mayer. That’s an abstract that makes me want to get far, far away. But that follow-the-bouncing-ball melody! One pictures Max Martin and Dr. Luke hearing Bruno Mars’ tofu-disco “Treasure” and deciding to totally spend the afternoon topping it. “Birthday” sounds decadent, and that’s before they get to the delicious sonic detail of champagne being popped. The “let me get you in your birthday suit/it’s time to bring out the big balloons” bridge is terrible and lets the air out of the bounce house (see, it’s easy!), but everything before is so joyful and so intent on improving a bad situation. Which might be the secret to this…as gloopy as this session gets, it’s rooted in just wanting to remind someone (even John Mayer) life isn’t a bummer.
Iggy is TRASH as a rapper but she's white, business-savy, and smart. I don't think she'll last long but she knows how to make the most of every opportunity.
(I mean she copied Blondie and Cyndi, too)
