It's soooooo not fair how far behind all the other girls Katy Perry is in terms of albums sales and general impact.
Well she is completely talentless so...
her first alberm>
and I'm sure her debut as Katy Hudson was miles better than the trash she releases now. I'm Still Breathing, Lost, If You Can Afford Me, and Thinking of You are all amazing tracks and better than anything from Prism and most of TD (except Pearl, and NLTM)
The old Oscar voters are FUMING about the new Oscar rules
Under the new rules, members who have not worked across a span of three decades after gaining membership will lose the right to cast Oscar ballots unless they've been nominated for an Oscar themselves.
Quote:
Another member of the PR branch who wished to remain anonymous fumed, "They did a knee-jerk reaction, when in fact the issue around actors [of color not receiving nominations] is in the actors branch — they are the ones who do the nominations!" He continued, "This 30-year rule is going to hit the PR branch and executives branch the hardest. What are you going to tell Bob Iger? He got in in 2005 when he took over Disney. He leaves in a year and goes to the NFL. So is he out? He is only building the Academy Museum."
A similar point was raised by another longtime member. He asked, "Who calls Les Moonves when CBS [Films] goes down? Then Rich Ross and Gail Berman? They’re in TV! And what about Jeff Shell and Kevin Tsujihara? They’re not going to be active for 30 years going forward. Michael Lynton once he’s fired? Beyonce and J-Lo? Are they in the movie business? Is Jada Pinkett Smith in the movie business? And by the way, there are a lot of Academy board members who aren't 'active,' like Jon Bloom or Bill Kroyer, who teaches, or Charles Bernstein, who hasn’t done a movie in 30 years." He continued, "I have news for you: older people who lived through the struggles for civil rights are way more sensitive to minority issues than young people who don’t understand what it was all about in the first place. It’s ****ing knee-jerk liberalism without taking into consideration what is fair. Bill Mechanic should get a special shout-out for waging a 10-year struggle to kick out older people and bragging about it in the Times. What an idiot." And, he added, "I imagine the NAACP’s film group [the Image Awards] is also racist for not choosing Ava DuVernay for best director for Selma?"
Katy is so safe as an artist that its actually disgusting. She's so bland, vanilla, the very essence of marketable pop music... and is nothing more than that. Her lyrics, sound, performances, PR efforts and even looks are so universal that it's completely obvious that ultimately she has been crafted to please virtually everybody. There are virtually no instances of her ever taking a risk, even when it comes to her speaking out about her personal beliefs. She completely omits herself from this 'Katy Perry' brand and accelerates it with whatever stuff will please everybody. There's never any spice to her, just plain old boring vanilla because that's the safest route. There is no sophistication to her; she is a grand creation of a major record label that plays it safe at all costs in the effort to make everybody like her and sell as much records as possible. It's hard to be an enthusiastic fan of that when you're above the age of eighteen.

Her record label probably stopped her from releasing Every Day is a Doomsday because it broke out of the pop formula with one additional verse.
