I'm no fan of Dark Horse either Katy but at least it was catchy for a week or two until I moved on to Walking On Air. Unconditionally on the other hand is just a turd of a song.

She's used to audiences validating every career choice that she makes. It must be hard to have to follow their tastes this time.

I do wish Unconditionally was doing better, but Dark Horse is a good song so I'm glad it's doing very well

[Right Now]

Poor Katy. I feel bad, really I do.

[slayships]

Tbh I'm surprised at how it flopped so hard, I thought it would go top ten just because it's Katy Perry alone and on top of all that promo I really thought it would be a christmas number one
It's one of my faves on Prism and one of her only underrated gems I still love it despite it being a flop. Dark Horse should have been the second single from the get go tho it had smash written all over it from the moment it was released

Every artist needs to be humbled. At least this song didn't ruin her image.

"Hong Kong dish on alley" (my favorite nickname) was just a snooze fest. The song was ok (but I remember when I first heard it after she hyped it up - I was thinking, "this is it?")

Then the video was the worst part. Sure she looks pretty but it has absolutely no replay value unlike the charming "Roar". An emotional storyline would have helped. I started to feel katy was out of touch. Glad to see this tweet. And glad to see that she and her label are taking cues from the customers. And will probably do so more going forward.

#14 is a good investment for the future.

I thought this was the first single she chose for herself.

I wish Unconditionally would have done better, the song deserved it. And since it's her favorite song on the record I'd understand if she was mad

Maybe I'm in the minority here. But that tweet did not sound sad or angry to me. I think she's just trying to provoke discussion and promote dark horse in a subtle way.

Katy just doesn't get it, people are not here for Katy the balladeer and she wanted so bad to smash with a ballad to prove everyone wrong. People can't take her seriously when she sings a slow acoustic love song, and in a couple of times, Unconditionally showed her vocal weakness.

Dark horse is like a weaker version of E.T, the rapping part is awful.

[ForeverNow90]

Nnnn; its alright Katheryn

You doubted ATRL, ha credibility. We forgive you. Just release Walking on Your Faves next

I agree with you, that's why I wrote "if she was", but maybe I shouldn't have used the word "mad"

I see the video as an experiment: Would the fans and the GP like elegant, sophisticated imagery, ideas putted randomly together instead of the usually campy stuff putted well together in a storyline?

I'm glad she knows it and moves on instead of repeating the same mistakes for 2 era.

[Nialler]

I still have no idea why this flopped so hard so I understand that she's mad at DH

[Schhh]

I don't think she hates Dark Horse, just disappointed that Hongkong Dish On Alley didn't really perform to its potential. I think it could've been a Top 10 hit, but radio PD's just favored Dark Horse too soon, especially coming off the heels of Roar.

I can always hope for a re-release after Birthday.

[Wonderland]

Oh Katy

[HighwayHooker]

isn't Unconditionally her favorite song (one of them) of the album? i don't blame her for being upset

[Lord Blackout]

Unconditionally >>>>>>>>>> Dark Horse

anyway.

Sorry but aren't WA and TOTGA at 3m copies sold? That's like what the usual Bruno single sells, right?

[Whore of Babylon]

Understandable, Uncle is a great song, DH is just meh
