Was listening to M83's new songs and I just remembered how they like her (because she's a fan). It feels like every alt artist out there is anti pop/Katy. I remember reading an old interview where Katy said MIA doesn't like her
charli
marina
ellie
tove lo
betty who
sky ferreira
jessie ware
florence welch
etc.
robyn likes teenage dream lol at least the prechorus
i don't think she's hated by them at all just a few of the pretentious ones
“I had Firework on repeat and listened to it over and over,” says Welch, who pronounces Dream a joy. “It’s chemical, it’s undeniable. It’s irresistible pop, no matter what your taste is.”
The two singers crossed paths at Abbey Road studio in London. “She was coming out of the toilet,” Welch says. “I was so excited, I screamed and fell on the floor. She was lovely to me.
"There’s something about her music that feels really honest. She totally wears her heart on her sleeve, and she really wants to reach out and make people feel good. She’s a born entertainer.”
ugh @ legend florence praising katy out of all people!
Maybe it's just sexism since indie males tend to bash pop all the time. You forgot Lorde too!
oh i thought you meant alt artist in general since you mentioned m.i.a...

hey speech epidement she literally defended katy in that interview she def used to hate her before but marina hated everyone before electra heart.
Marina: It’s quite a controversial question and maybe the answer I’m about to give is as well, because it really was quite hard for me to make the decision. I had been kind of rallying against that [very thing], and I had to ask myself why I was doing the tour. [Katy] asking me to support the tour really made me question a huge amount of things I had been thinking about music. I was one of those people really who was like ‘oh this kind of music is not good, it doesn’t have weight or credibility.’ But I don’t think that’s something she’s ever claimed to have. And I think people who love her know that she is a real artist, maybe just not in the way you or I think of it. And also, let’s not forget, she’s only on her second album. You don’t know, in ten years what kind of music she’ll be making. So I kind of weighed it up and thought, well, the thing that’s stopping me from going is that I feel slightly hypocritical. And then the thing that makes me want to go is that I think I should go, and kind of challenge my own previous beliefs. So I did go. And it did change a lot of things for me. Not necessarily her and her show, but just the whole experience of it. And yeah, I think she’s fabulous. I think she’s ****ing excellent at what she does. I don’t think career wise we’re on the same trajectory at all, though.
The great thing about Katy Perry she is involved in everything she writes. You can tell, it’s very “Katy Perry”, each of her albums so far. The videos, the visuals, the whole package. - marina
besides popmatters put marina in a super uncomfortable question like i don't even like marina at all but so unprofessional of them to ask something like that straight up
many would argue she’s a strong example of what’s “wrong” with the music industry today: an almost cartoonishly-attractive woman with a voice that wouldn’t get her past the first audition rounds on American Idol who is about to dethrone Michael Jackson for most number one singles because of a slick writing and production team—including Dr. Luke, who produced your single “Primadonna”—and the gift of auto-tune. Your records both pretty blatantly critique this very thing. How do you reconcile the content of your music with the choice to go on that tour?
i wish billboard didn't change the rules part of me obv broke the record...just imagine how angry they're all gonna be if that happened

mess at Marina basically saying her music is pointless drivel

This is basically her saying Katy's music is generic meaningless trash (it kind of is but that's besides the point), read between the lines Aspergerbeats
She only praised her because she couldn't bring herself to turn down the coins from supporting her

we all know ur illiterate and possibly has the potential of losing your eyesight due to ur diabetes but ask someone to read this bit mother lispritenow!
Not good examples to show that ~indie~ artists like Katy (which they don't).
That has the potential to be iconic.
