It's not that bad for a pop song. People act like they're expecting mozart or something

Oh its a decent pop song alright, but I expected more from her. Especially as a lead single into a new era
California Gurls shits to this day,but I can see this getting old pretty quick
I bet the remixes will slay lives though

what am i supposed to do with katy perry song without a video?
So, my younger daughter has two current obsessions: Katy Perry, and big cats (tigers, lions, etc.).
She danced to this for nearly an hour straight while I worked in the yard. It's a decent song, if more similar to Perry's last album than I was expecting. I'm curious whether it's fully indicative of the album.

She always sounds like she's straining at the limits of her vocal range. It can be painful and unpleasant to listen to at times. My daughter will like the song though.

Thats what I've always felt. Shes trying so hard to hit and hold these notes her voice feels strained.
I made that gif last year, it makes me feel happy people save my stuff.

Damn, I missed the song. Not sure if anyone is on Hypem (follow me xD) but it was there and just removed from soundcloud. It sucks but if I was to do a blind test, I'm expecting it to be your usual Katy Perry bubblegum pop song. I would also expected it to still be written by Bonnie McKee
Edit: I want to add something though because I've noticed something the more I research past artist and stuff. Do we really want Katy to stray away from what she is? That's the big question. I noticed once the artist decided to leave the producers and management that made them famous, their entire brand goes straight into the ground. Katy Perry isn't a versatile singer. She's not the best In vocals and it's very limited in range so it's kinda like she is limited to pop. I couldn't listen to a Katy Perry ballad. I would pull my hair out with that voice.

Will Katy Perry be performing at the VMAs? Wouldn't mind see this a live.

This actually isn't bad....

A song leaked Burqa/Aura. Applause, her first single from ARTPOP comes out the 19th. (Edit: And pieces of it just leaked)

Song is crap.
Try harder pls Katy.
The Gaga leaked song is way better than Roar.

yeah it sounds ...like a Katy Perry song
but IMO it just doesn't have that extra something a lead single should have.
Since it's a Katy Perry song and all her singles lately have done really well, I expect this song to chart really well too.
Completely and utterly unrelated, but the thread title reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zuuIXmBmh0

Katy can do no wrong in my eyes, love the new song.
I do agree I'd like her to produce a more darker album (a sound heard in 'Not like the movies'), but I'll take anything to be honest.

Irresistibly catchy. Best Perry track in ages.
She's not a very good vocalist, but that's not her calling card.

Doesn't understand how two year old demos over an old Infected Mushroom track works.

Whats that Katy Perry song where in the video she's dancing at a house party and its like the 80s. I think that "Its Friday" girl is in it.

Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.). And you're correct, the video features Rebecca Black.

That's awesome. I liked the 'Prism' promo thing with the golden semi making it's way around cities. This song wasn't quite what I was expecting from her new album, but I like it. Wondering if she'll bust out another from her album in Sept. at the iHeart Radio Music Festival. I'm going.

So this album will go head to head with ARTpop. I predict Katy Perry's album will sell 3x as many albums as ArtPOP. Katy Perry has remained relevant, while Gaga will have to do crazy stunts in order to garner attention like getting naked. Even then, it won't get much press

Disappointingly boring and thoroughly mediocre. You can do better than this, gurl.

I highly disagree. Lady Gaga has a bigger fanbase than Katy can imagine but not all Lady Gaga fans aren't Katy fans visa versa. However, realistically.. Lady Gaga will sell more by default. I see a million day 2 of the release... She is more highly anticipated for being away for so long than Katy being here already.
Reaction after hearing the song..
Absolutely not. This song is not killing any charts. I don't like the anthem sound of it and it's so weak. The vocals are an absolute mess. I don't like that awkward lift up in the chorus when she says roar. It sounds so awkward and simply not fun to sing either. Man this was disappointing. I expected more from her and I couldn't even make it past the first chorus. I'm going to listen to Lady Gaga stuff to see if here's is better because this was straight flush for me..
Edit: Ohhhhh ohhhhh.. Lady Gaga is back. That Burqa track is so dope. The complexity in the beat alone has me wrapped in. As well as her power rocky vocals!? Lady Gaga is going to bring it and bring it hard!

I guess I should have clarified domestically. Gaga probably has more fans worldwide, but Born This Way was a dud, and Teenage Dream had so many #1's. KPerry has all the momentum

I think she's the only female artist to have 5 #1's from a single album. Rihanna just surpassed her count of number ones, but that will probably change again once Prism hits.

Born this way was my favorite album from here. I was so different and dark. Teenage Dream wad your regular run of the mill pop album. It didn't push any boundaries and it's why I'm a big fan of Lady G now. I hated her but she's willing to extend her music and not play it safe. Katy always will and that's why I can't argue against the fact. However going in, Katy Perry being already in the industry will not be beating LG in hype. LG was on hiatus.. She is long overdue. Hopefully adele doesn't try any tricks because little monsters are not having it this time lol

Probably but one thing I hate about Katy and Rihanna is how manufacturered they are. They don't take risks and are extremely predictable. I'm a big fan of KP, not Rihanna and the more she beats her, the better but this playing it safe routine is getting played out. Multimillion dollar artist should be able to try something else out. Prism will be another safe album.. I don't doubt it
Well at least Rih kinda varies her sounds between albums despite churning them out like clockwork. Diamonds was totally different from the Talk That Talk singles, and so was stay. Unapologetic, as much as I dislike it, has a very different sound from previous albums too.
Roar sounds like it could perfectly fit into Teenage Dream.... After all the teasers about burning the blue wig and the TD era being over, it's very disappointing.
The delusions... I'm sure Prism will sell (unless Roar ends up being a complete flop but Capitol is never going to let that happen), but ARTPOP will sell a shitton of copies too. The weird narrative that Gaga struggles to remain relevant is so strange, BTW didn't flop (it underperformed relative to Interscope/Gaga's expectations, still it sold over 6 millions copies, had an extremely successful lead single and a few other mildly successful ones), it lead to a very successful World Tour, and it's not like she fell out of the public eye during that time. She had an extremely successful perfume launch, had a Vogue cover, etc etc... Artpop will get tons of press, judging by the way the announcement was covered.

Supposedly Katy was going to be a lot darker this album, so we will see. WOnder if she really will and the album will be a mix of safer pop and darker music. Eiter way, I still like her better than Rihanna too. Seen Rihanna at iHeart last year. Very disappointing. To be fair, there were almost twenty other artists there though lol.
I agree.
The one real criticism I can muster for Roar is that I WAS expecting something a little less predictable from Katy. Especially after her promo for the track featured her burning the iconic Teenage Dream blue wig and literally burying that persona. It seemed like she was priming the world to expect something different this time around, but Roar sounds like something that could have been on Teenage Dream.
Still, it's a good song, and we're likely going to be hearing it everywhere.

There is no side to Pop GAF that makes sense.
It's going to be everywhere.
