I do think that this puts into context the artistic identity crisis that Katy was clearly going through on her very uneven 2013 album, Prism. There’s some weird Benjamin Button **** going on with her: As she gets older, her audience seems to stay the same age, or in some cases—as long as choosy moms still choose Katy Perry over more overtly “scandalous” pop stars—grow even younger. And unlike, say, Miley or Gaga (whose shows are littered with f-bombs and offerings to the goddess Mary Jane Holland), Katy’s response is not to act and talk in her live show like a normal person her age might, but instead play to the youngest common denominator. Which brings up a lot of questions about how and even whether she can actually grow as an artist at this point. Whenever she addressed the crowd last night, I felt like I was watching a Pixar movie: Lots of cartoony dialogue with these subtle, knowing winks to the parents being like, “Hey, there is actually a smart, self-aware adult human inside this hot-pink furry cat suit.” Something about that dynamic made me feel bad for her, though. She just seems kind of… weary? I picture her sitting in front of a fancy, well-lit vanity after the show, flinging off her rainbow hair and sighing to herself in a wig cap, “But would the world still love a grown-up Katy Perry?”
ATRL needs to stop overrating Rated R and Born This Way. Both albums sucked. There's a reason they underperformed despite being the follow-ups of two of the most global pop music eras of the past decade.
Rated R wasn't commercial. Dunno what's Gaga's excuse is though.
How are you already a bitter, old, Donatella'd (Lady Gaga song) queen at age 17?
I'm just as concerned about the fact that you're a bitter, washed-up impression of someone who actually managed to say similar things... except be funny and clearly didn't pop a vein trying so hard.
Must be what happens when your main fave's a part time slave and part time kitchen appliance and the rest are unknown.

This is totally contrived and idiotic You're, like, remarkably bad at profiling people.
Meanwhile P4K stay naming Carly and Charli XCX the best artists of the year
pft, neither have released lyrics anywhere near as inane as this (bearing in mind she's singing about a dick)
Quote:
Oh my god, no exaggeration
Boy all this time was worth the waiting
I just shed a tear, I am so unprepared
You got the finest architecture
End of the rainbow-looking treasure
Such a sight to see
And it's all for me
Angelina Jolie has launched a scathing attack on Kim Kardashian, calling her a ‘witless bimbo’ for using Twitter in a misguided attempt to protect Armenians in Syria
I really do wonder if Katy is going to try a different direction for her next album. The gee pee is not stupid and will get bored of another bubblegum pop release with uber cliché choruses.

New level of bottom-feeding.
