See, this proves she can do it... sometimes she sounds amazing live, and other moments she sounds horrible, haha, I don't get it but I do know she can be really, really good
I loved reading all these people arguing over who's the better singer, especially that line "i could sing better than her (Perry)". Dude if you could sing better than her, why arnt you?? It just reminds me of all those people on Idol who are like "i sing better than Maria and Gwen Steffani" and then get up then and they are rubbish. To be fair she doesn't sound that bad, i mean she doesn't sound offensive like T-pain or anything. Besides she is not hard on the eyes - it could be so much worse
@dearparamoreiloveyou Oh, and btw, I am 24 years old, and quite mature thank you. What makes you claim you're more mature than I am, when you don't even know what a real singer sounds like?
I've not thrown a single insult at you, and I've kept everything I've said on fair play...but because I know what a singer is supposed to sound like, and I disgard Perry to the highest degree on her laughable singing, I'm immature? Right.
@SFFL1996 the only laughable thing here is you. katy has a great talent and is the first woman on 11/12 years to get 3 songs from the same album on billboard hot 100. But you'll never sell as much as her, so continue criticize her so we can laugh at what you write...look, she has great salenumbers, she writes her own songsm she fills her concerts and is extremely popular. It's ok to be jealous, but there's no point in this...
@60sisthashit Why the hell would I be jealous of Katy Perry?? It's not that serious dude...I'm simply pointing out that she's not very talented at all. That doesn't make me jealous, that makes me one with an opinion...an opinion of which majority rules in favor of that knows anything about REAL singing.
Getting #1 hits, selling records, etc, does NOT make you talented...dont believe me, ask Britney Spears, Kesha, etc. Proof all you need is a superb producer, to have exceptional success.
@dearparamoreiloveyou First of all, I said and I quote "most talented artists of their specific genre", meaning Jay-Z in rap, figuring it would go without saying...you know, common sense I thought. If you can claim some of those artists I listed as "whatever", and have nerve to say Perry has raw talent, again...you have no real idea what talent is.
I watched this video, for the same reason I watched all the other grammy labeled videos...I wanted to see the performances. Am I wrong for it?
@dearparamoreiloveyou I can sing like that...and that's why I don't sing for a living, cause I suck as bad as she does at it.
And I grew up in a generation with Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Usher, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Celine Dion, etc...in other words, some of the most talented artists of alltime in their specific genre. If your generation think Katy Perry can touch any of those people, you're not only confused on the word "amazing", you're all also delusional.
All I have to say, is for all the people claiming this as "amazing" and saying Katy Perry "has an amazing voice!"...you're all either deaf, or don't know what good singing is.
This is horrible singing. Just horrible. Thankfully I grew up in a generation where talent wasn't a lost cause and people knew what "amazing" was.
Nowadays, all there is is Taylor Swifts, Katy Perrys, Britney Spears, etc...and folks act like they can really sing! sad really...
@SFFL1996 I just have to say something about your stupid comments. First of all this is very good singing, second of all she has a big talent or else she would'nt be signed, and third of all, sure people get 3 songs from an album on billboard hot 100 if they can't sing. Either you are ironic or you need protection from yourself.
@60sisthashit First of all, if you think this is very good singing, you're either very young and naive, or very stupid. Second of all, there's a number of artists that aren't very talented signed to labels, she's certainly not the first moron. Next, having multiple #1 hits from the same album is hardly something new accomplished by subpar artists...ie Madonna, TI, etc.
Again, either you're either really young, or just blatenly stupid to not know this very basic knowledge.
@SFFL1996 This is nowhere near horrible...you must've not watched many videos. Katy is not really "great" singer but she is decent meaning she hits the notes about 1/2 to 3/4 of the time but lacks real control and always comes out sounding strained. I'm really not saying she is a great singer but this isn't horrible either...it still sounds okay for a good portion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow she's really terrible. I was watching her E! special and thought if the Nashville scouts were paying attention to her early on, she must be talented, but no. Either she's been so studio-fied by this point there's no semblance of her original singing/songwriting talent, or she's just really bad. Cold or no.
Does she know she stole the title of "I Kissed A Girl" from Liz Phair, and that even though that was a pretty annoying song, her song is even worse? Or is she just too young?
@coranglaisgirl Liz who????One tip to you:Check out where Katy are now and where Liz is. Don't make me kill myself by laughing. when I read your comment I understand that you don't know how to recognize good singing and bad. Listen to the voicecontrol. I know you wish you envy her voice....
@60sisthashit I spent 7 years earning a Masters and Bachelors Degree in vocal music and coach singers for a living. I never implied Katy was a bad rock singer, just that she was blowing out her voice, and her songwriting is fucking terrible. I'd be interested to learn your qualifications, other than a 1st grade understanding of phonics and English composition. (and my greatest apologies if English is your second language, as I hope it is)
@coranglaisgirl First of all, how can I know for sure you have what you have? What is wrong with her songwriting? I don't see it. A lot of people identify with a lot of her songs. You're just jealous of her sellingnumbers. how well you thing I understand phonics and composition, I could'nt care less and besides it's bull...Yeah English is my second language. You mean the mistake in the last sentence? I was a little fast there. I meant you wish you had her voice or something like that...
@60sisthashit Almost every single note is out of tune. Her tone is terrible. She has about a 1/2 octave range - and her songwriting reflects it: she only writes songs where she sings about 5 notes. Her passagio is terrible - this is not a comment on her having a cold. An impressive passagio control demonstrates a similar timbre between both the chest and head voice. She actually has a lovely head voice but has no ability to control the break. Also, "sellingnumbers" is not a word.
@coranglaisgirl ok. Selling numbers then. What? She's definitely not out of tune. this sounds good. You're just jealous. She has good enough passaggio to make it sound good at least. But she has only earned several awards, several grammynominations, certifications most artist only can dream about achieving, several nr.1's on billboard hot 100, etc etc...Well just continue to be jealous...
@60sisthashit Okay, we're not really getting anywhere here, so let's revert to plain old logic. I think Katy Perry does not sing well, and writes bad songs. This is based on my experience as a performing musician; in addition, I do admit I love many other commercial artists and listen to their records regularly. You claim that I must be "jealous" of an artist that I have stated I think is not very talented. Let's read that back once. Does your postulation make any sense to you stated as such?
@coranglaisgirl Ok, you are allowed to mean that, but you don't have to come in here and comment if you don't like her. In your experience as a performing musician, YOU HAVE NEVER SOLD TO PLATINA AND YOU'll NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT! Thank you yet again for your valuable comments(NOT!) Well either your jealous or tone deaf. Your choice...
@coranglaisgirl She's hideous! Her intonation and articulation are shameful and I completely agree with you. We live in a society where it's socially acceptable to do the most heinous of things, but expressing ones opinion is seen as inappropriate. Want to see a REAL female vocalist? Do a search on Katine Noonan - Time to begin. Then make a comparison between live performances.
@coranglaisgirl Okay I have perfect pitch and no, not every single not is out of tune. I will admit there are quite a number but I'd say at least she hits about half the notes. I agree she doesn't have a great control and her voice comes off as strained but you're really making an overstatment.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She's not a good singer, nor a good songwriter, nor a good musician, but I like her anyway. I still wanna fuck her. Maybe if Russell leaves her, who knows.
@chriscrockerfan2010 Since when is it sick to fuck a beautiful woman? But you wouldn't know that 'cause you're too busy gobbling tranny balls. And how am I supposed to stay in my own fucking ass? My dick is long and meaty for your slobbering delight, but it won't reach around.
@castingtherunes ok so since when is it good to have sex with a celebrity that could be sick, a stuck up snob, or a brat 4 all i know.Oh well that's my own opinion.So leave me alone!!
keep on rocking girl... she sang grate and its not best live i think i like her more when she just let her go and tries something different that what we hear at the album not staying with it so that she can prove that can sing
who ever you are thnx for sharing this video to evryone....i really like it.....this is the best i've ever seen and the best song i've ever heard from katy....
i agree with you dude!!...i just notice when she's always in alive show... she get tired and lost breathing while singing cause she have to be energetic so maybes omtimes thats why she sounds awful when she perform....but what ever...i love this song...keep singing katy
I'm not really sure how this was a performance in the 2011 Grammys when the video was posted in early 2009.
