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.

Fancy is obviously this year's TiK ToK. I doubt Igg¥ will have a string of hit singles though. Kesha Rose can come back to reclaim her position once Fancy is done.
Can we ALL agree that "Pompeii" is legitimately the worst song of all time?
It's awful, but the honour of having the worst song of all time goes to "Cruise"
from Florida Georgia Line or "I Gotta Feeling" from The Black Eyed Peas.
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.
people talking about Barfday it's critical acclaim

Katherine St Asaph: It’s Katy’s party, and she’ll block her competitor’s superior potential birthday single if she wants to. (You would cry too if it happened to you.) Perry apparently thinks this is anything like a debut Mariah song, but it’s really a speedy neo-disco take on “I Want It That Way.” (So, then, yet another time Max Martin’s team has blatantly ripped off “I Want It That Way.”) I guess the SNL band is meant to Family Fun Night-ify the double entendre Rihanna used for “Birthday Cake,” or the one Peter Gabriel used for “Big Time“? Perry is getting very good at what she does, and what she does is boring.

Does anyone hear this at all? How on earth does "Birthday" in any way resemble that limp forgotten ballad?
