The lowdown: This lead single from Prism was a cash cow for Katy and her team, becoming the fastest-selling digital hit ever by a woman. But let’s not put the cart before the horse: All that glitters is not gold, even when when it’s set to a perky Dr. Luke production. A chain is only as good as its weakest link—and, I won’t beat around the bush, Katy’s songwriting is not the sharpest tool in her shed. So am I saying that “Roar” isn't a good song? Is the Pope Catholic? Chin up, though, Katy. You can’t win them all.
ATRL says...: Most members were brutal. "Katy's most unlistenably awful song since 'California Girls.' You have to be brave to release crap like this," JakeKills wrote. "People are so quick to bring up how Katy blatantly ripped off 'Brave' her production, but how come no one ever mentions the 10-year-old she probably ripped off these lyrics from?" August asked. "There is nothing more empowering than clichés stringed together, and nothing more demoralising to know it took five people who earn more than me to do it," bluth snarked.
But lovesong though it wasn't so bad. "Cheesy-ass lyrics coupled with bland vocals, this song goes nowhere," he said. "And yet I can't stop myself from singing along." And Himeros offered a full defense: "I HATED it at first, but slowly my thoughts on it were completely reversed. A killer pop tune with jam-worthy production."

Best bit: That time Katy thought she won a Grammy. Nothing about the song comes remotely close.
Roar doesn't deserve #50 
Top 30 at least 
Usually big singles do really well in these rates.
