Pharell is relevant and with recent, monster hit that had a lot of cultural impact. It's actually a perfect choice if they don't massacre Roar. People invite those old acts out of respect and to boost their egos but nobody cares about them. Not here for Gwen though.

Nah here in SF, most people I see in those 49ers hats are men in their 30's-20's which is young. Then there's men and women in their 50's. The minority is young women which Katy brings in. Pharrell is a great guest. Gwen is an awful choice.

By 'large' I didn't mean majority. Yeah there are a lot of young people watching football but also a lot of middle-aged and older people. It's a multi-generational thing.

I do agree that Katy is going to attract the young women and thirsty men of 'Murica. We'll see how that plays out.
And how could I forget the gays?

I don't know about you all but I'm mostly worried about her vocals I know they will be pre recorded but is she gonna sound good?

[TheEdgeOfGaga]

The 'legacy' section on the Teenage Dream Wikipedia page is nothing short of incredible. So many records broken with just one album.

Will they be tho? There's no confirmation of that.

I see her using playback at the very most... Singing live on top of pre-recorded stuff. If she dares she'll sing it 95 percent live like how she does on tour. She has a strong voice/foundation and a bit of intensive polishing would do her voice wonders. If she goes that route tho (and I would support her) she should hire a 'tough love' vocal coach to iron out any little wrinkles that sound bad on tv-- like when her voice gets super nasal on "so I sat quietLEEEEEEY" or when she falls off the pitch in "ready FOR ready FOR".

Also, she needs to also stop changing up the melody in her material live because she's not that good at improvisation and a lot of the times what comes out of her doesn't fall on key or just sounds plain wrong. Worst offender of that would be Birthday's chorus live. Horrible.

If only Katheryn were reading this.

Do girls find duckface cute. Had no idea.

yes like/...... its so ugly :bibio:and some find it sexy but i prefer a huge smile

[h.u.r.r.i.c.a.n.e]

^anyway (I feel like posting an essay so pls get off my dick thanks) those little problems with her voice have always confused me BC they're quite obvious and easy to fix yet she always does them. The nasal stuff is just a matter of proper placement and not pushing the damn pitch and its not hard at all to sustain the notes properly in DH's quick little snappy chorus.

Its just sometimes she seems like such an accomplished vocalist and other times even I can sing the song better than her that just confuse me. But the answer to that is probably because she has to focus on choreo and staging as well so she let's these little things slide. But even if she sat on a chair and served amazing vocals I'd prefer that than half decent choreo and half decent vocals.

One final thought: and finally its time to reach for those high notes. If she doesn't want to do it during PWT to conserve her voice sure whatever. But she has to bring her a-game to the Superbowl. No more wimping out during the final chorus of Roar or This Moment. :wags finger:

And omg if they aren't pre recorded.......

" You’ve collaborated with Katy on a few projects by now. What’s it like to work with her? With Katy, it was very much like how I’ve worked with anybody else—it was her knowing my work and coming into the studio with a willingness to become part of that. I found it to be so much fun. To see her around the people she works with, my first surprise was how completely in charge she is, both in a creative and administrative sense. She said, "I think this is good," "I think this is not good," and "This is how we should do it." I’ve only worked with her a tiny bit. But that was my experience; she’s very self possessed, and just incredibly charismatic. She’s very much in charge of her own career. "

Will Cotton on Katy. Another person testifying to her involvement.

Since ATRL hasn't opened signing-up,
I have a suggestion.
All guests who see this and want to post a comment but can't,
you can tweet me (@legendarysia) your comment and I'll post it for you

[lousaysthings]

Why does all the good tea come out while I'm asleep?
and YES h.u.r.r.i.c.a.n.e, you're spot on about the vocals. We need studio vocals in a live setting, high notes and all. The blessing will be that she's used to starting with Roar every night on tour and her vocals will hopefully be much more steady by the time Firework comes.

[Dark Miracles]

What does 'fleek' mean?

My bet for the veteran act is still Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac. I'd love for Gwen to join Katy, they should get Nelly in there as well.

Watch Happy stealing the #1 iTunes spot from Dark Horse or Roar

[materialboy]

wait https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjOspWcasY0 it would be a paradise for me if she performs DH with orchestra on SB.the 1:23 part is just but she will prefer her killing careers choreography so she better serve light effects.

not here for any guests tbh.i dont need a prima donna to steal Katy's light.
DH and Happy fighting for the #1

So:

Happy/Birthday with Pharrell
California Girls with The Beach Boys
E.T. with Kanye

? Slay. Please god, don't allow the other rapper on the wannabe E.T. to push his way in. Roar/Shake It Off or Unconditionally/Blank Space with Taylor Swift would also be high on my list, just to see the heads of some ATRLers explode.

The tea on the last few pages

So if Pharrell is true, we can expect him on K4 i guess. Ha Hollaback Girl is coming, Regina's wig is not safe.
As for the veteran act, I still have my coins on Queen, but I'd put some coins on Beach Boys or Fleetwood Mac aswell.

[all eyes on me]

this is either going to slay or....
