I would love it if her next album had more songs like ET and Circle the Drain.
Me too. I love the electropop she's been giving us this album, but she needs to darken her image a little more. She also needs to dye her hair back to black ASAP!

Ikr? Her skin is too pale to be a blonde imho.
I want more dark edgy electro pop, but I don't want her to abbandon bubble gum pop. >_>

I don't want her to completely abandon it either. Just darker, more mature music would be better. Exceptions are Teenage Dream and Hummingbird Heartbeat.
Perry certainly muted the sadness of her incredible streak ending this week with our exclusive breaking news that “The One That Got Away” will be the sixth single from “Teenage Dream.” The quest is, thus, on for the set to become the first to generate six Hot 100 No. 1s.
Notably, several billboard.commenters expressed the opinion that “Dream” cut “Hummingbird Heartbeat” should have been the next single.
I agree that the latter song is undoubtedly single-worthy. However, it might be a bit too similar in tempo to previous single “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” Should “One” become another smash, perhaps Capitol considers following that mid- to uptempo song with “Hummingbird,” which would seemingly flutter to the Hot 100’s upper reaches as a seventh single.
As for Perry’s record top 10 streak, this week’s Hot 100 marks the first without the singer in the upper tier since May 22, 2010.
Here is a look at the longest streaks of artists remaining in the chart’s top 10:
