She always gains weight between eras and her body always looks flawless when she releases, Idk what's the big deal. She's probably full of stretch marks thanks to that, though but whatever.
because Birthday is literally pop perfection. it's pure pop, no trends, no gimmicks. catchy, simple, fun, with the katy perry touch. when will other PRISM singles
The bridge is kind of gimmicky but otherwise I agree.
I absolutely hate how she dumbed down Birthday in order for it to be a single choice. Should have been a 6 minute long song with tons of Mariah-like vocal riffs just like the tour version with a realistic instrumentation. I can't get over the epix audio of Birthday. It's sooo good.
It's also not a good single choice hence why she shouldn't have dumbed it down. Sorry, the album version is just... plastic
Compare it, for instance, to how organic Treasure sounds. That's exactly how Birthday should have been produced. The vocals + instrumentation of the album version are so overly processes that they kill the mood.
And it's very Mariah-influenced vocally.
Katy sometimes dumbs down great songs for no reason (See: By The Grace Of God).
