What a lot of people don't realize is that this is how her songs are supposed to be sung. SHE wrote them, SHE sings them how she wants. They're not supposed to sound like freakin Celine Dion. She sounds like KATY PERRY. You guys who don't like how she sings? Go sing it yourself then. It won't be a Katy Perry song then, though.
you know whats funny about this song.. the chorus doesnt rhyme. "shut up and put your money where your mouth is. thats what you get for waking up in vegas. get up and shake the glitter of ur clothes now.." shut up and get up rhymes... :P but it still sounds really cool xD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They actually had her for a guest star on american idol? This sounds average, nothing great. There are alot of wrong notes. Go ahead die hard fans get all pissed.
I'm an old school kind of musician that appreciates the technical aspects of a band like "Yes " of the 70's that relied totally on their ability to write and perform their songs with limited technical support.
There is a lot of great music out there that I would just love if they would just stop overproducing it.
mlm...I agree..especially on the overproducing and Yes comments. If you are a pro..and near NY email me..we have alot in common. And yeah..Katy's "Thinking of You" is a great song. One of the most touching songs Ive heard in years. email me!
interesting video. The band has a rough start, but Katy is such a strong performer..so revives the song.
The band sorely misses the keyboards that are on the recording, as well as the backing vocals. On later gigs, they were added (I guess once the money started coming in..) Shes a breath of fresh air in the boring musical year.
Please dont take offence..I am not anti-Katy..I think she's great. But I have rec studio and play live often..so i see the little technical things. And fwiw: I wouldnt assume she eschews technology out Live...her GMA appearence of this song seems to have samplers doing the backing vocals..and the use of a click track. But hey thats not musical fraud. In fact its harder to do that live than lip sync and some BS dance moves. and like I said she is a breath of fresh air.
to be truthful i like katy perry a lot and she does a good voice... its just that HOW she sings is bad. she can sing good (like i can imagine her) but how she says things and emphasizes words it just O.o... but yea i like katy perry, im just saying my opinion
exactly! she obviously has a great voice, you can tell it when she sings in the chorus and the bridge but HOW she sings and the vocal style she uses her voice
I don't like to put a label on music, but I wish Perry stuck with this "pop punk / alternative" direction. The studio version of this song removes that raw live edge and tidies it up into a neat little pop parcel for the masses. As with all of her singles now. Great song.
i heard her sing live at the grammys once and i was like ".... so... different" and i'm going to leave it to you to think whether i am saying different in a good or bad way. Anywho this song is very catchy and gets stuck in my head all the time :P
shes so freakin hot, i love katy perry, i wish she will wake up with me in vegas, and this song is one of the hottest songs right now. katy perry = totally hot.
@loudongkoy Are you mentally ill? I really can't figure out ANY other reason why you would mix capital and small letters like that. And btw she can't for shit.
is this drama? :))) i like her better in music videos :) shes pretty but shes not suit for lives. even if you say its because of pressure. its a factor for every singer :)
this is good though im not her fan. When she really feels the songs she can sing them really good! I think u can hear from her voice big inspiration from Alanis as its one of her most favourite singers.

No way dude I love this version ..nothing but raw talent carrying the music.
Katy is a breath of fresh air for old schoolers that like their music void of artificial pitch sync.
I read she refuses to lip sync her performances as well.
An ode to "Led Zeppelin" in a day and age where music is produced out of a computer!
Go Katy !!

GtrGeorge 2 years ago 2
Also ...I'm aware that she uses backing tracks.
I'm ok with that. For what that's worth.
What she doesn't do is prerecord her vocal track ala the Britany's of the world.
She has stated that she would not lip sync.
Her manager held back her performance on the Today show last year for that reason.
I appreciate that you own a recording studio and by no means am I knocking your ear.
I just know what my ear likes. That's all
