A truly timeless song is Yellow by Coldplay. Sounds like it could be released tomorrow and still sound good.

Not a big fan of Coldplay at all, but Yellow and The Scientist are timeless songs.

Let me break it down for the slow Kats.

The movie made 32M at the box office. Typically, theaters keep 25% of the revenues, first week, 50% second week and 75% afterwards. Let's assume the studio, on average, keeps 60% of the revenues, which coresponds to 19.2M. The production budget alone was 12M. Therefore, the marketing budget has to be 7M or less for them to make profit. Not sure what the production budget is but you can imagine that they didn't make much money from it

So what you're saying is, she/her label most likely made just a few million off it or at worst ended up in the hole a few million? Those completely empty theaters don't lie!

Mess who has all those tweets saved I need a good laugh

God these kats really aren't worth it. Can't even read their own articles

Who knew Rihanna underperforming would scar him so bad mentally. He's even forgotten how he used to love Katy and wanted to join the Kats when the Navy didn't claim him

Trying to say her movie was a flop when it more than doubled the budget and did millions of dollars on DVD/Blu-Ray sales
He cannot drag Katy and needs to keep her out of his posts. It's becoming a bit weird how much he talks about Her.

I remember when he said he wants to join the Kats (look at Nialler's sig!), maybe he still wants to?

He talks about my fave more than me, it's sooooo weird

Alicia vs. Katy Perry?

Alicia is more talented, better looking, more successful, has a grammy, and has a song more memorable than any of Katy's. Where is the competition?

Stick to comparing her to like Selena or post-BTW Gaga or w/e.

No lies here!

And it says the production budget ie. the one given by film-makers includes promotion costs. It's not hard to get

Why Katy Perry's 'Part of Me' flopped.

Don't think I've heard The Scientist. Lemme go listen.

[rihannafan]

Anyway, I already did the breadown in numbers. The marketing budget was likely higher than 7M knowing katy perry. The re-released based on the movie also flopped. Lol

Me too.

Alicia is ugly, now a flop with what sounds like vocal chords of 20yr+ smoker, and has like three usable songs in her discography.
But good for her for her Grammys or whatever and album sales from years ago.

You'll probably recognise it. It's a TV soundtrack favourite.

Alicia Keys had three great eras, one good era and one meh but passable era. She'll be fine.

Sadly we cannot accept people who are pathological liars and spew their opinion as superior to everyone else's and as if they were facts.
Denied just like #R8.
