[SecretMoblin]

It sounds like every other Perry song



...which is to say, RIP Little Monsters

 

[Symphonic]

I guess it's too late to stop 80s style from coming back. Fuck fuck fuck

 

[Artemisia]

I can use this. The chorus is great.

 

[Ataraxia]

Katy Perry's look has always been retro. Not a fan myself but I am impressed she was able to tame Russell Brand - if only temporarily.

 

[Vazra]

Its growing on me.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Her boobs are incredible.

 

[Ein Bear]

Katy Perry. Rawr.

 

[Bomber Bob]

not bad, but not her best

 

[royalan]

It sounds like every other Perry song



...which is to say, RIP Little Monsters

Pretty much.

Let me check my medicine cabinet to see if I have any extra hair grease to lend Gaga. She's gonna need it to relieve that scalp.


Everyone, get used to hearing this song. A lot.

 

[Xanadu]

what a load of old fluff

 

[Dr. Malik]

It's shit

 

[The Power Of Snap]

So boring and safe.

 

[Miles X]

Reminds me a little of Ratatat, the music that is.

 

[ThisWreckage]

She's a weird pop star because her albums don't exactly light up the charts, but her songs dominate airwaves. I swear to god I think almost every single one of this songs on her last album was a hit.

 

[AlteredBeast]

why the Kimbra gif with the katy perry song?

 

[Matt_]

Based on the first couple of listens, it's probably my least favourite single from her along with The one that got away

 

[Artemisia]

It's shit

a lie

 

[Coldnoodle]

Love the chorus.

 

[Slayer-33]

You'd hear this inside your car while it's on cruise control

I don't mind, I like her tunes

 

[Artemisia]

She's a weird pop star because her albums don't exactly light up the charts, but her songs dominate airwaves. I swear to god I think almost every single one of this songs on her last album was a hit.

Every single on her last album charted in the top 3 of the hot 100. 6 number 1s, one number 2 and one number 3.

 

[Currygan]

Perry turned into Keeley Hawes

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[Vazra]

Every song on her last album charted in the top 3 of the hot 100. 6 number 1s, one number 2 and one number 3.

The Female MJ hew else?

 

[ohhthegore]

man that gif is mesmerizing

 

[waypoetic]

The gif in the OP, i dunno, it looks like Kimbra..

EDIT: Yup, that's Kimbra.

 

[Matt_]

why the Kimbra gif with the katy perry song?

I don't know what you mean

The song is better loud, which is strange

 

[Kyon]

The Female MJ with her new SMASH HIT.

I think I'll fully Stan her now instead of just her music.

 

[Artemisia]

The final chorus

 

[ohhthegore]

The gif in the OP, i dunno, it looks like Kimbra..

EDIT: Yup, that's Kimbra.

lol i was confused

 

[Guzim]

I like it, but to me it doesn't have that first single feel that California Gurls had.

 

[Trigger]

This song is great. I hope the album is consistent too.

why the Kimbra gif with the katy perry song?

Long running POP-GAF in-joke.

 

[Zero315]

I couldn't shake the feeling that I've heard this before. Then it hit me, it sounds like Brave by Sara Bareilles. Just add some guitar riffs and you've got Roar.

[JCX]

What's with all the pop stars waiting until this long in the year to release all their albums at once? Nintendo must be running their labels.

[DR2K]

It sounds like every single one of her other hits.

 

[royalan]

It's a running gag from the time when "Somebody That I Used to Know" was all over radio and everyone who heard it thought the girl singing was Katy Perry.

 

[vio]

Yeah the song is nothing special. She should call Marina Abramović like now.

 

[Tashi]

lol oh I see. Katy Perry wishes she had Kimbras voice though.
