'Why I Hate Katy Perry' (Someone Had To Say It)
Thank you, Ellen Carpenter, for saying what we've all been thinking.
Here's what I know about Katy Perry: Her album One of the Boys went gold, her single "I Kissed a Girl" went double-platinum, and her boyfriend is Gym Class Heroes cutie Travis McCoy.Here's what I don't know about Katy Perry: How any of this is remotely possible.

She is TALENTED... she is funny and pretty. Dont hate on someone who has actually worked to be where she is today. She has been in the music scene for a while too. Its not like she just woke up one day and said HEY this is what I want.. she worked and now it is paying off. Maybe you should be taking notes?

I bet this "Ellen" person has heard the song i kissed a girl once and based her whole review on that. Plus she is obviously in love with Zooey Deschanel, and her fans all seem to hate katy. Just because they look alike doesnt mean you can only like one:P I think katy has worked her way to succes and has a lot of talent. I hope she will be around for a while

She's terrible live. She's just a studio singer, and I have no respect for 'singers' that have to be 'tweaked' to sound good.

Amen!

I agree with you. It is for this reason that I like the clear sounds of US Latin Rocker Nil Lara or US Latin Pop Singer Maria Lourdes.

This picture was taken August 19th, 2008 at Six Flags Great America in Maryland. Katy Perry took part in the VMA Tour along with artists like All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Metro Station, Shwayze, and Tyga. During her hit single "I Kiss a Girl", everybody was singing along and dancing in the audience. She puts on a great preformance and dedicates herself. She may not be the biggest role model, but you can tell she loves what she does. You has a lot of energy and great fashion sense. This was a great expierence seeing her, I was looking forward to it greatly.

I took this picture at Six Flags Over Texas this summer. Katy is a good performer. I may not agree with all of her lyrics but she can sing. Her back ground is in Christian Music from what I have read. Maybe this is her way of rebelling against her up brining.
Her songs are fun and catch adn a little rough but nothing too over the top.

My review: Katy Perry is the Americanized Amy Winehouse, a terrible version of a British talented singer who wrote and make music to her own songs however bad is her reputation of being a junkie-Amy winehouse is original. What followed after was the likes of Duffy and now Katy Perry who cannot sing live and who doesn't have the voice that supports the 'jazz music era' for example Ella Fitsgerald. Amy winehouse's songs are jazzy, original, unique drum beats and tunes compared to today's saturated mainstream music. Katy Perry is the bad cover version that ONLY dress up for the part. :)

I like this photo because it's like a vintage or retro image, and I love that type of photographs.

holy shit, katy perry is one of the worst "artists" ( I'm sorry to all the actual artists for having to have used that term on her) there is. she has NO talent. her songs are absolute bullshit. and her voice is terrible-god it gives me a fuckin headache to listen to her especially live. wtf is this: "youre hot and youre cold, youre yes then youre no, youre in and youre out, youre up and youre down" are you kidding me??? a hippo could write better lyrics than that!!! its terrible!I remember in grade 7 this guy in my class wrote this poem,till this day, it was one of the most beautiful things i had ever read. all the teachers were shocked. now, when a kid half the age of ou can write something SOOOOO much better you KNOW you suck.
she absolutely sucks, how the hell do you become a singer when YOU CANT SING!

You people are morons. She's a pop artist. Of course she's a studio singer, with sub-standard lyrics. When you idiots come up with something that isn't so painfully obvious, then hit me with your best shot and ASTOUND ME.

hates katy perry. shes so obnoxious and thinks shes all hot and cute. with her stupid "kissy-faces" and all, it makes me wonder what our country has come to anymore. Her song "Thinking of you" is horrible. Its like, a dead squirell singing. but its worse. its like, i have to shut the radio off when her songs come on.

I think her music in studio is good. But its clearly enhanced pr something. Every live recording of her sounds so off pitch and sctratchy very dissapointed. I couldn't listen to her live performance (especially the one on youtube live). She's also super cocky.

She is fake. What ever she does she has record sales in her mind. I guess that's why she sells more than real musicians that concentrate on music.

Okay, I don't know if I'd say I "hate" Katy Perry, but let's just say I can't stand her. Her songs are LAME, at least those I've heard, and she seems like all hype and is far too overrated. "I Kissed a Girl" was boring and cliche, that type of song was done years before. Her voice is crap and she's mediocre at best, so that's the only way she can draw attention to herself by trying to do something controversial. And as far as her being pretty, her looks even bother me, with those eyes always bugging out like she's trying so desperately hard to be "cute". Oh yeah, and one last thing, Katy, PLEASE take Adam's name of your ugly Elvis cape! Some of us actually want him to win Idol!
