Katy Perry (ACOUSTIC) on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show

[madchaoslover]

hahahaha! here she looks like Bella.... I wish she'd get back to her acoustics than the whole techno candy pop.

[rivariad]

her singing is fuckin impressive with all those falsettos and high notes, people who keeps bashing is just fuckin clueless, riding on the bandwagon.

[lucaschermontsantos]

@rivariad girls can't sing in falsettos, this is head voice, katy is awesome

[emflorencethemachine]

She's changed sooo much, woah, actually used to look normal now shes all L.Aish. Disappointing...

[KatyKat951]

some grapes...

[TheAivisKrot]

So much better than what she is doing now!

[RastaGirl331]

Damn, that was really awesome! Impressive!

[marianopeacock]

People who says that katy perry cant sing has no life at all.

[husnifadhil]

she is nervous, so she is not sing it stable

[FRANKIELALALA]

@CHELSEA9636 She sounds the same on the record. Really shut up

[MrBaloo72]

Bearable, but disappointing after seeing the top comments.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

God, what a horrible voice. I can sing better then that and I can't sing.

[lucaschermontsantos]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs saying her voice is horrible won't make your voice better

[beleloy808]

this is the katy perry i love,,, she was my former number 1 crush, but ever since her second album came out,, i just dont dig her anymore..

[CharlotteElliottG]

guys she wouldn't have made it this far in her amazing career if she was a bad singer :)

[tribalmaniac]

0:30 - free replay button :)

[welaughindoors91]

ehh she's ok. but she should be, ya know? like why are we giving her props for having a good singing voice. that's her job. 

[legendaryIronwood]

@welaughindoors91 people are giving her props because she is often accused of not being a good singer and relying on auto tune. There actually have been some pop singers that don't have great talent and wouldn't sound very good singing acoustically, unlike Katy Perry.

[Boomies559]

jessie j can sing way better when it comes to singing live. now i know that for sure

[KKdog768]

@Boomies559 i dont give a fuck

[Boomies559]

@KKdog768 u mad? lool

[KKdog768]

@Boomies559 yes if you love jessie j soooo much then go watch her not katy perry

[Boomies559]

@KKdog768 i came to see why people on jessie j's vids were saying that katy perry was better at acoustic. and i clearly see that isnt the case. kthnxbai btw i aint even mad tho.

[trufaithmax]

IMHO whose that say that she can't sing simply don't understand nothing of music and of the real meaning of singing. In this performance there is all: passion, voice, feeling...

[ghost6813]

She doesn't sound too good to be honest.

[60sisthashit]

@CHELSEA9636 not because of your singing. In my opinion you write crap. She sounds good. And if you don't like her singing, there's no reason to watch it either. And there's no need to write comments only to express that. People makes up their own mind...

[60sisthashit]

@CHELSEA9636 no equipment there...you're quite bad in my opinion! And you can easily find other versions of her acoustic and live without problem. She sings good...

[glowstix813]

she sounds great! 

[MonsterAudrey]

theres a cut orange. theres a full orange if your really hungry.. haha :)

[CupcakeIsNiceAlways]

My life is complete the day she goes on a acoustic tour or something like that..

[officialsampayne]

I've listened to this like 20 times already today.

[visualart88]

Why everybody says she can't sing, can't you see is her voice tune?

Ok there are better singers, yeah, but that doesn't means she can't sing. This acoustic is really good! I love Katy Perry unice voice!

[miluska1988]

:S this sucked

[60sisthashit]

@miluska1988 you're comment sucks and it's bulls...

[theoneandonlyhut]

She has talent. I don't even have a capo...

[ToNiDoDsOn]

soo good!

[BritneyFan4everr]

YOU people should be embarrassed. I would love to see you idiots sing better than this. THIS IS PURE.

[drootshnoot]

good god she is awful

[60sisthashit]

@drootshnoot you're awful!

[justger]

Like really off :/

[justger]

Some of those chords sound off :/

[Panicfan1234567890]

Lol shes not that good of a singer, shes ok but eh

[fligidyflash711]

Very nice Katy



[MickTV1]

talent

[ChantieMars]

"and i'm a little bit scared." aww <3

[ThisIsARomCom]

i love katy and her fruit nails!

[KadeyLadey180]

Katy Perry sold her soul to those industrial devils, just like Rihanna. They are both talented women who now have to walk around on stage singing songs that belong in a studio in skimpy outfits. smh..

[andartarius]

i cant understand how people dont see how amazing her voice is....are people listening to the same video im listening to?

[BornToBeAFaye]

@andartarius i think the same ;)

[lynchinjesus]

god damn she is a dime. beautiful with that voice i think im in love...

[SogekingZZ]

i think her voice is sexy

[LEEesteCOMENTARIO]

And Rebecca Black sings better.

[LEEesteCOMENTARIO]

She is not a good singer.

[odvutt]

she just has big boobs, nothing else

[Edwin08o4]

im not a huge fan and i dont know too much about katy perry, but im a musician in LA and I cant believe people are posting negative responses to this. saying she should be "embarrassed" or "shitty voice" this is WAY better then what is mainstream and what they do to her voice in the studio to make it mainstream. this song and the way she sings it expresses SO MUCH emotion. and to the idiot calling people twelve year olds for defending this video, Lets see you create something like this.

[sosisosisosiyes]

LOVE HER!!!

[twdtwdtwd413]

Shitty voice, shitty haircut, shitty person. Big whore.

[a866903]

@twdtwdtwd413 Wrong. $44 million net worth. Plus her Teenage Dream album is on par with Michael Jackson (the King of Pop) for producing 5 number one songs. America/the world love her... So your opinion is clearly not correct.

[twdtwdtwd413]

@a866903 hahahahaha and you are defending katy perry, so youre probably an idiot 12 year old. the most talentless piece of shit ive ever heard. and you compare this cunt to michael jackson? youre a fucking idiot. good luck!

[Kvntalicious]

She should be embarrassed. She can't sing or play.

[teenageb00sh]

lol

people are so obsessed with auto tune and shit these days that they don't know what a good acoustic singer is

i don't listen to Katy Perry usually, but i'll listen to this because she's fucking. awesome when she goes acoustic.

nuff said

[Durbezalka]

This is just disturbing to listen to.... how on earth is she not embarrassed?

[OGMGMOOMGGMO]

she is fucking terrible

[MrRocanlover281107]

An AFI's poster of the back!!!

[metalcrazychick17]

She is on the right pitch but she in no way deserves the fame she has, Her breathing is horrible and her range is tiny and weak Random weak head voice sounds really bad. Oh and by the way screaming the crappy lyrics will not in anyway make it better (1:40 - 1:49) Not bad but at best an okay voice I can see why she uses so much autotune

[GabrielGardunho]

, @metalcrazychick17 She doesn't use autotune in her CD! In her MTV Unplugged she had a perfect voice. soooooooo SHUT UP JELAOUS!

[Muzikman127]

@GabrielGardunho you're right, she doesn't use autotune, her producers put way more effort into making her sound half decent on records than just applying autotune. Trying manual melodyne note manipulation, about a million takes, overdubbed harmonies and an army off effects to back it up. Seriously name me a single Katy Perry hit without copious voice manipulation on it...

[GabrielGardunho]

@Muzikman127 An example is,,,, Thinking of you! That's easy!



[Muzikman127]

@metalcrazychick17 watch?v=8zeLKMHxbN8 it's scary what they can do in the music biz now. How they fix up this guys vocals in the video is exactly what they do for taylor swift katy perry etc. etc. etc. all the "singers" out there whose fans insist on them having talent. Does my nut :p

[bobbleheadruler14]

it might have been better with an actual singer

[lilbabygoogoo]

Wow this sucks

[evelyn112101]

@lilbabygoogoo whyy? i love this, in fact i miss the old katy perry :(

[047marie]

i miss you katy. i got back to your music once again coz of this.

[francescocastellani]

sounds very good in acoustic!

[dopestarinc9868]

she sounds like a dying dog

[nzswiftfan13]

Can't sing live my ass

[xlanarchie]

@nzswiftfan13 whats your problem this is absolutely awesome!

[nzswiftfan13]

@xlanarchie I know lol I love her! By my comment I meant alot of people say she can't sing live i am saying those people are wrong because she's amazing I don't have a problem it's a figure of speech haha

[famousde]

Katy is Sexy - I'd love to bang her.

[sunsetjunctionmedia]

Ha ha, I shot this video. I had no idea she would become so famous.

[DavidGuitar95]

You have a good voice Katy. :)

[0VideosMe]

OMFG. Why do people still insist on saying that she can't sing? Oh come on! She's perfect and she DO can sing... It is you who can not hear.

[swat0607]

@0VideosMe she's insecure: esp. at the beginning... but not bad...

[missBriannaaaa]

My gosh, this gives me goosebumps.

Katy Perry is such an inspiration <3

[jimbobanalbeats]

She's actually not a bad musician.

[DustinisKingforever]

I love the emotion in this song. ths is the real katy perry not most of her popular songs. when she sings this song I get a halfie-boner.

[jedimasterchet]

She rocks the guitar!

[modejam]

she looks like joan jett right here

[malika605]

than on Joan Jett looks like

[YuliaVolky]

Ok, she can't sing very good... cant'. But she has some talent: she plays the guitar. I give her that.

[peralez2383]

For the first time ever, her body wasn't the most impressive thing about her

[WigganNuG]

So, opening verse is 3,4,3,1,5,9. I listened to over and over with the established key of the guitar. Please tell me which notes are out and whether they are sharp or flat.

[aletia94]

@WigganNuG hey i can make the tab for oyu if you want, It took me ages to find them and I'msure thats the way she plays it ;D

[WigganNuG]

@shastapunch Sorry dude, you're way off base saying she's out of tune the majority of the song. In fact, even in the beginning, while she is singing sotto vocce, she's holding the key quite well. The only way to settle the argument is to run this through an auto-tune program. I'm a singer, not a pro, but I've sung for Schola Cantorum of Oxford (Emmay Kirby anyone?), call back for Chanticleer (which is pro) and I'm quite sensitive to pitch... she barely has any pitch issues whatsoever.

[Clarky1966]

I'd love to suck her tits.

[jarvis440]

I must admit here and now that I sincerely underestimated Katy Perry...

[WigganNuG]

1:37 - 1:50 .. so awesome.. goosebumps at 1:50 so in tune!!!

[pinkmusiicluva]

Sorry...did I just hear someone say that she can't sing? Actually....this video suggests otherwise....

[shastapunch]

@pinkmusiicluva in all fairness, she wasn't in key for a majority of the video. it's not hard to pick out if you play an instrument/sing

[pinkmusiicluva]

@shastapunch Actually..I have been playing and composing music for over 10 years and at least 4 of those years have been at a professional level and I can tell you right now that whilst she did waver a little bit and did go out of tune VERY slightly a few times, the vast majority of this performance is in tune and stylistically correct.

[shastapunch]

@pinkmusiicluva so what's your billboard 100 hit pro? haha just listen. especially in the beginning, its awful.

if you want to listen to a great singer. search. paramore live acoustic. hayley is amaaaaaaazing

[pinkmusiicluva]

@shastapunch That's a pretty pathetic comment....just because I don't have a "billboard hit" doesn't mean I haven't been doing professional music and definitely doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to identify singers who go off key. She's off at the VERY beginning but only for a few seconds. And yes, I agree... Hayley has a great voice, I saw her live but that has NOTHING to do with the fact that Katy is not out of key for much of this video at all...no matter what YOUR opinion is.

[shastapunch]

@pinkmusiicluva

the only thing pathetic about it is that you refer to yourself as a pro. when obviously, you're not gettin paid haha. its youtube. lighten up chump.

hayley blows katy perry out of the water. watch other perry videos. she's a streaky singer.

[pamroarrs]

this is why I respect Katy Perry

[CutiePurry]

she has really amazing singing voice and guitar play...

Love ya Katy!

[kreezyFTW]

much better than her current stuff

[briandiiii]

i have that mickey!! xD

[TheRetroDanceFreak]

Love This Song. Love Acoustic. Make An Acoustic Album, KATY ! <3

[FLIPNAM]

i like this katy :3

[alyssazambo]

It's epic how I think her hair kinda looks like Joan Jett's. Hahaha I LOVE HER GOD, i love her voice.

[StacyAnnIsDead]

she's an awesome guitar player, and her songs are even more wonderful live :D and love the nails!

[errorafterdark]

WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING ON A PUNK ROCK SHOW WAIT WHY DID MY FRIEND SHOW ME THIS......................FUCK IM BORED BUT WHAT IS SHE DOIN ON THE PUNK ROCK SHOW THING

[markydeeks]

@errorafterdark I guess she wont be true punk rock until she's doing tv adds for butter :P

[catalystdrums123]

Her intonation is better than I thought it would be without melodyne but its still no where near where it is on the studio recordings

[Neonblutx]

afi poster behind her :DDD

[misfitsfiend615]

100% True Talent!!! Like this if you think she should drop her record label and go independent.

[yayitsyanan]

OMG SHE SOUNDS PERFECT

not many ppl sound so great live too

[iOnlySignIn]

I love how she's a little tense and nervous at first but then the music gradually sets her free, and she's completely immersed by the end.

[sunshine420ful]

i love her so much <3

[monoman12112]

Katy perry is the best she's a real girl with a good heart and so talented she acts her self wherever she is. My favourite female singer and model

[JConturo]

the fact that she plays guitar makes her soooo much more sexy. i have the upmost respect for her

[LariPortilla95]

I love her voice.

[condori315]

she really can't sing 

[thisisthebest9991]

I think she does this very well. Ok she's not the best singer live but it isn't True that she can't sing at all. It sometimes sounds a bit forced that's all

[KnappDrumm3r]

Geez Katy Perry go on an unplugged tour or something! :O

[SkylitLoveS2]

God, what happened to her..?

She needs to play more acoustic shows. I'd much rather see her

standing alone, in the center of a stage with her guitar, than

jumping around in a skimpy outfit behind bright lights..

Thumbs up if you agree.

[PinskyKyaroru]

@SkylitLoveS2 completely agree with you! thanks for posting

[SkylitLoveS2]

@PinskyKyaroru Yeah, of course. (: Just sharing my opinion.

[JosKiddin]

I love how her voice sounds, so refreshing/unique... I don't know how some people say she sounds bad cause I honostly think her voice is so amazing!

[duckinsubway]

3:16 sounds like dump

[khanaccount10]

help this kid spread his vid so it reaches kesha! search for "lordexin kesha".

[qwerty1234564011ful]

sry this sounds horrible to me

[XpresloX]

I think she is just amazing !!!

[aeroplaneification]

Jesus, she's so not talented...

Everyone could do that, she's just a society performer,getting money for her incredible shows....not more.

[jickopik]

@aeroplaneification Ha! not "Everyone" can do that. Everybody's voice is different and to add to that, doing a performance is a harder that it looks. This is actually pretty great, and I am impressed, never heard her do an acoustic song before. She uses a lot of vocal technique, while playing the guitar.

[VictoriaGina]

@aeroplaneification hey atleast you admit she does incredible shows.

[iAmRandom32]

anyways i love this. i never heard her sing a song acoustically but i think this is really good.

[iAmRandom32]

@III24601III What The Fuck??!! go away! you shouldn't even be mentioning Hayley because this video has NOTHING to do with her...

[IchMagSechs]

HOT

[hockeyyismylife]

chicks cant play guitar. btw I HAVE THAT PUG PILLOW BEHIND HER what a fucking win.

[OwSharpStrings]

im a big hayley williams fan but i also think katy perry is great im not gonna argue who is better but hey they are both amazing in their own way and they have their own style.

[AlLy98533]

@III24601III so...you dislike katy,but love hayley.okay.that's fine.GO TO HELL.katy is way better singing live than hayley.if you're a hater,go and watch another vid.screw you.

[coconutsurvivor03]

@III24601III can hayley be a pop star too? i didn't think so. katy perry can play rock and pop. what now ??

[skywithdiamonds98]

so good

[TheMerinight]

jesus, I'm so into katy perry, she has a beautiful voice, great lyrics, her concert was one of the best I've ever seen...

[daxielle]

wow her skin has really cleared up, I´m sooo tryng proactive. :)

[dms834]

i wish i was the guitar XDDD

[britnanisse]

I love her nails!!

[kingofnyct]

How did this shithead convince her to come on his show?

[sweetcatastrophe89]

some of her newer singles really are a bit silly and very pop/catchy... but this song is sooo beautiful and is absolutely my favorite katy perry song

[bensley56]

I'm not usually a fan of perry, but i kinda like this.. She seems so into it. Good stuff

[YippyySkippyy]

LOL the nails

[cardboardjacket]

I think her voice is definitely abit weak in places.... nice to see she plays her own guitar though :)

[epicbattler]

she is way too good looking and talented

[aRoseByAnyOtherName]

I miss One of the Boys :(

All of the songs on that album sounded like they were (at least at one point) written on a guitar, just like this. Teenage Dream (while fun and catchy) just seems fake and factory made pop sounds.

Katy has such a unique writing style! I miss it :(((

[alczyn182]

@aRoseByAnyOtherName totally agree

[sneakertoni]

@aRoseByAnyOtherName i hated teenage dream the first days :D

but now i think it is great, she can't to always the same, i think it's good that she did something different cause it shows that she can more

yeah i miss this songs too, but there is teenage dream which isn't that bad, hummingbird heartbeat a 100% one of the boys song :D and circle the drain is just great!

[anitabelikov]

@aRoseByAnyOtherName well she could turn those pop songs acoustically. i can't wait till her new album goes unplugged

[seoHEARTseo]

...Katy Perry is good live?

...everything I have ever believed to be true is wrong...

[brianjrhee1]

i really appreciate the fact that she plays her OWN guitar!

[me455]

wow she can play guitar =D

not just another "pretty-slutty" singer ^^

[MavriSokolataTheBand]

Katy is cool!

[sedona3player]

why do they play shallow poppy shit like California Girls with meaningless lyrics when she has SUCH better meaningful stuff like this?

[NevanImranTheCambion]

@sedona3player ummm..she's a pop singer?...Sometimes music isn't dependent upon lyrics. Sometimes it's just about the emotion. Not every song needs a profoundly deep meaning.

[halfwayquiet]

@sedona3player Because her record company calls the shots I'd say.

[tahounez1]

@sedona3player because idiots dont care about lyrics

[Mikozee]

@sedona3player It doesn't sell. Duh. But i'm with ya.

[bulmeruk]

@sedona3player because it sells and is popular. there can be two sides to a musician and both can be fine. i personally like both sides. she's talented, good on her.
