Katy Perry’s tired old ‘kid’ act hits the Garden
"If the spectacle was flimsy, then the music was practically translucent. Perry’s big individual hits such as “I Kissed A Girl” and “Teenage Dream” are hummable in their own right, but having to hear them spread thinly across a set of awful dance-pop fillers like “Walking On Air” and “International Smile” felt like a modern version of cruel and unusual punishment. By the time she rounded off the night with “Firework,” it felt like an act of mercy rather than the big celebratory finale it was meant to be."
