I'll only agree with this if her sound doesn't change after Electra Heart. I mean, lots of artists have changed from their unique sound to a more electro/dance sound but I wouldn't say Marina sold out to "Katy Perry" status.
I saw that someone posted a tumblr link to a better quality audio/video stream of Primadonna from last night, but now I can't find which Marina thread it's in
I'm listening to "'Sex, Yeah!" right now on my good speakers, and I really need her opera yodelling in the verses to be cut out of the final version. The song would be great if the messy opera stuff wasn't there.
And "Homewrecker" sounds absolutely amazing on these speakers, like omg.
I haven't heard Sex, Yeah! ........I was thinking about holding out until the album release since I've gone this long, but can I make it....hmm
I've only listened to it a few times since the first listen didn't impress me very much. But now that I've listened to it a bit more, the lyrics are awesome. It's just the opera during the verses that turns me off.

I think I'm going to listen, I'm too curious!
when will we get studio version of Prima Donna? I can't wait over a month - that doesn't make any sense Marina!!
I love me some Marina and the Diamonds, but just like Katy Perry, I believe she’s the kind of woman who would do anything for a hit if given half the chance. If Jimmy Iovine phoned up Marina and told her that she’d get a guaranteed top ten placing on the Hot 100 by releasing an old Paris Hilton b-side, getting naked in the song’s music video, and giving him a blowjob in the back of McDonalds, I think she’d do it, and then she’d go and call it a biting commentary on modern pop culture.
I kind of agree
They're wrong. Have they ever paid attention to the lyrical content of Katy's songs? She has only a handful of songs with non-generic lyrics, and even they don't come close to being anywhere near what Marina makes. Besides, I can think of far easier ways to sell out for a hit (especially with a rack like hers).
yeah, I don't know what Proph is talking about there. someone said Marina has said in interviews that she's desperate for a hit? I don't know.
if that were really true, she could easily find someone to write her a cute little party track to record with Dr. Luke, instead of something like Prima Donna, which is very Marina. I just don't buy it.

The only thing Marina has ever done that might imply she's "desperate for a hit" is when she apparently stated she was upset that her work wasn't being recognised.
Exactly. Even in Marina's most 'generic' moments, she still keeps her own quirkiness and lyricism and the overall product is still very Marina. Not to mention her voice, which would even make a "put your hands up in the club" track sound very different and unique.

I agree, marina is not desperate for a hit. Radioactive, her most generic song, she still has that has that marina vibe we all love which makes it not generic at all
The above lyrics and then there's also some lyrics repeated to make the song sound more full because, I feel, that the original version with the video sort of ends abruptly. I also hope that they use this new remastered version.
Is it me, or does anyone else hear the guitar parts in Homewrecker that are REALLY similar to Like The Other Girls demo? especially the one that follows the heavy beat in the chorus.
Primadonna girl, yeah, I all I ever wanted was the world
I cannot help but I need it all
Primadonna life, the rise & fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl, would you do anything for me?
Buy a big diamond ring for me
Would you get down on your knees for me
nothing worse than right now baby
Beauty queen on the silver screen
I'm living life like I'm in a dream
I know I've got a big ego
I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
I'm such a girl, girl, girl (?)
And they are a joy, joy, joy
I _____ more, more, more
I wanna be adored

Take a picture, I'm with the boys
Get what I want cuz I ask for it
not because I'm really that deserving of it
I'm living life like I'm in the play
I'm in the line like I want to stay
Yeah, I know I've got a big ego
I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
You go down, down, down
You hit the ground, ground, ground
You must be found, found, found (?)
I spin around
