The problem with pop is not the melodies, it’s ‘artists’ like Katy Perry who can’t sing for s.h.i.t. I blame this on Madonna, who made it possible to succeed as a performer first and a singer second. Katy, if you want to solve what’s wrong with pop, go back to songwriting and leave the singing to people with actual talent.

The first track I heard from Katy Perry was an awesome remix to “Ur So Gay.”

I’d think the only thing worse than pretentious hipster pop would be faux-hipster pop, but I LOVED that track. Yeah, she was manufactured, but she had a team of writers with a sense of humour who also knew how to show off her raw, non-digitally altered voice.

But then we got whatever it is she is now exactly.

I sort of reluctantly liked “Hot N Cold” for awhile, until I realized the chorus (the main bit of it I actually enjoyed) sounded way too much like the chorus for “U and Ur Hand.”

Katy Perry might actually benefit from more processed vocals. (The rest of us would benefit from no vocals from her at all.)

My hatred for Katy Perry is second only to my hatred for Fergie. The idea of her pointing out anything wrong with the music industry is like a serial killer preaching about the sanctity of human life.

Are we sure Katy isn’t talking about her career when she tweets about D.O.A?

Considering autotune is the only thing that makes her sound tolerable and every one of her songs outside of IKAG (which was its own brand of horrendousness) has sounded like a P!nk offcut, I think she should quit trying to be the totally-non-pandering-to-commercial-radio pop princess that she isn’t.

I still find her generally horrid, but I didn’t hate “Hot N Cold” and I am fairly fond of the chorus to “Vegas” (but nothing more). The Kelly songs make me hope that just maybe she can just do like the other Perry and disappear into production and songwriting.
