eek. Not one of her best performances. But I think the only problem is that it's such a small stage for a big song. And one seen the vma performances or jer
When live, she sings as well as Gaga - which tells you a CD will only sell only as well as it has been produced. Remember Linda McCartney??? She couldn't carry a note but with a well produced album, you couldn't tell.
I heard a clip of this on the radio and it was horrible. I was expecting it was because of the radio (even though I hate Katy Perry), but it's just her. She's horrible live. This is why autotune shouldn't be used. Gives them a false sense of capabilities.
I'm neutral on Katy Perry. The problem isthat it's a small stage and a big number. It's meant to be larger than life to parody the lifestyle out there and you really can't squeeze it onto that stage. I think a different song would solve the problem; maybe a ballad if she has one; I confess I don't know. Her other number was cute, as is she - very sexy,sweet and watchable, whatever you think of her singing, which in the 2 or 3 numbers I've heard is quite list-enable if you care for her genre.
The black female backup dancer dances/ moves like the incredible hulk! Not feminine, not in character with the image of the music. She needs to tone it way down to be cute vs. brute.
i absolutley agree with u @MarineCorpsBrick , it's possible that one day they can sing great & others not, it depends on Katy's emotions on that day , imagine yourself being a celeb & singing every day , must be exausting! absolutley looove Katy no matter what! <3
@NYNewsWATCH and @TwoHandsPlease I couldn't agree more, this song was atrocious on SNL, but you also have to watch a lot of performances and attend a lot of concerts to know that a singers voice changes from day to day. Some day's they sound perfect and others well, like this. I'm just sayin don't judge her based on this one performance. I've been to one of her shows and she was so much better than this performance.
Every celebrity has their moments. Just because she isn't that good in this performance doesn't define her entire career. She's talented and has an amazing voice regardless.
embarrassingly bad...like seriously. she also said this song was a tribute to the likes of tupac....are you serious? pac would have laughed at her face if he heard this.
On sesame street , Katy Perry's chest looks five sizes smaller than on SNL and she has no padding or bra with the now infamous dress apart from the small bustier top. Perry looked modestly endowed, a small US C cup (UK D) on the telly show. So how does Katy Perry jump five cup sizes in two weeks? Does Katy Perry stuff her brasserie? Does Katy Perry often wear falsies?
I'm not being pejorative but I'm curious if I'm the only on who has noticed this?
uhhh...she sounds like this on the TRACK??? You guys are terrible, atleast she sings LIVE. You bitch about people who lipsynch then when they sing live they sound terrible. Bunch of damn whinny babies. Shut the hell up and enjoy the damn performance!
@tipofmytongue1024 If there was a performance to enjoy we would. I pity the kids of today that think people like Katy Perry are good artists. Music has fallen off bad.
@stellagranos72 I beg to differ, I've seen quite a few videos of her live performances, she sings in tune. Maybe her tone is throwing you off so you think she's out of tune (or maybe you have a bias against pop and think no pop singer could possibly be able to sing). In this, you can barely hear the drums, the bass is almost non-existent, and her mic level is unbalanced. She did have a couple sour notes near the end, but whatever. And I don't know how she does those vocal jumps so easily.
I have no bias against pop singers as I love pop music. Howwever, your standards must be pretty low if you think Katy Perry sounds good. And those vocal jumps of which you speak are not exactly Christina Aguilera-type vocal acrobatics. And by the way - if someone's tone is off, then yes, that means they are off-key.
@stellagranos72 I like how you make an assumption about what kind of music I listen to, with no consideration of my musical background. I used to hate Katy Perry, I was very put off by her image. But I've grown to appreciate her for what she is. I don't listen to her much in my spare time, but I can at least admit she's got talent. She should be more respected for her songwriting than her singing, of course.
"Aguilera" vocal runs does not mean good singing. Those jumps are hard to hit clean.
@stellagranos72 And even if she's not the greatest singer, it's her song, she wrote it. And it's a well-written song, very catchy and clever. So that's commendable.
@stellagranos72 Well there's no way to tell what her co-writers actually contributed. I'd prefer to give some credit to Dr. John Clark, her songwriting teacher in college ;)
@w0nd im going to be honest this isn't her best so im going to say no , but i think teenage dream was alotttt better and i love her mtv unplugged videos.
WAKE UP PEOPLE...I was actually CRINGING when I saw this "performance"...NO stage presence.. 2:25 all the way to the end is the worse I've seen...Who's the choreographer for this spectacle.....AND her singing was RIDICULOUS..Her backup singers SAVED her myriad times... If I were you katy, I would stop trying to dress slutty and actually TRY to LEARN how to actually SING!!! that's what you are right..a..."singer".... wow....3:42 was embarrassing!!!!!!
