to think that Katy Perry's samey inspirational songs for 12 yrs olds are so tiresome!

first it was from 'plastic bag' to a firework, now it's from zero to own hero with an eye of a tiger , always about a poor woman with no self esteem evolving into a 'show them' fighter - we all got the message a while ago, it's such utter tosh full of cliches, no talent! It's also all the same tune and pace, and the same lyrics essentially, as if she's glued to one particular woman song-writer??
What jars on me most, is that the image is nothing to do with what she's voicing, you are a grown up woman showing off your sexiness, and it could work if you did burlesque, or something amorous, not sing these primitive lecturing songs. And it's all so SHOUTY.

YABU. I like her.

Well, she did get famous for singing about kissing a girl and liking it. What do you expect?!

I saw her live in a teeny tiny venue in NYC and she was absolutely fantastic. Even though I'm not so keen on her latest stuff, I can't help liking her.

TheZee, see that was fun and suited her, but what's happening now? I can see people liking her as a personality or looks wise (though for me she has no subtlety at all), but the recent material she sings? it's just all the same cliched preaching stuff (yes, very American self-help manual).
