The music industry revolves around using sex appeal to sell songs and Katy stinks of sex appeal most of the time. However, this is the closest she has come to sounding sexy on a track.



For better or worse. Even though I like “Dressin’ Up” (putting the fact that it appears to have been written for shock value and penned by a horny teenager,) she doesn’t sound erotic or seductive on a track in which every line is a double entendre with the subtly of a sledgehammer to the face. Katy is to sexy songs what rape kits are to romantic evenings. Anyone turned on by “Dressin’ Up” would probably be brought to orgasm by a Sears catalogue. You could say that she pulls off the very few sexy songs she has done only because she looks like she could actually follow up on the requests, but she never really sounds convincing.

Thoughts?

She has a corny delivery. Her voice is very camp.

[alkralkra]

She was born that way.

[Kats]

Dressin Up is very sexy.
But that isn't what she is about mainly nor is it what her label mainly markets her as. Fun, cute, quirky is her style, not sexy and her label knows it.

[Taste of Honey]

Her tone isn't really a "sexy" sort of tone. I personally really like her voice, and like weird voices in general, but yeah, I can't really hear her pulling it off.

[CaptainMusic]

She just doesn't have a 'sexy' kind of tone.

[Dickard]

doesn't suit her singing voice i guess

But the easy answer is that she just isn't vocally talented enough. There's only so much a computer can do, and it isn't make someone sound "sexy."

Having vocal talent doesn't make someone sexy.
Your shade is so inept and weak.

[KoreanDream]

She just cannot be sexy in songs. It sounds so forced.

[electroheart]

She's just very quirky but she did a good job of pulling sexy off in I Kissed A Girl and Dressin' Up. Those are very sexy.

It might be because she was raised a certain way. She's got sex appeal but she's too goofy to really pull it off live. It seems corny when she does it live. But in photographs she is the definition of sexy.

Dressin' Up is really sexy tho. But in general most pop rock girls just can't do sexy well.

What the hell are you talking about? You don't need to be vocally gifted or talented to sound sexy. I could list off plenty of popstars with sexy signature voices who coo to hell and back in their songs, but are by no means "talented" in the vocal department.

I mean I get it, you hate her, but at least make some damn sense.

[Kang.]

Her sense of vocal restraint isn't... the best. That's the problem; she's always turned up to 11.

[Addicted]

Dressin' Up is kind of sexy I guess.

Maybe her voice just isn't suited to it.

[All Guns Blazing]

I don't think she could pull them off, it wouldn't work well with her voice

[Nicole]

She has a girl-next-door personality.

Could Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Stone, etc. ever truly pull off erotic/sensual?

[chilicheese01]

Dressin' Up is hardly sexy. It sounds so damn forced.

[MiMiLAMb!]

She Doesn't Need Sexual Songs Anyways

Gaga can't pull off sexy either though. It has nothing to do with vocal talent.

[Rolland]

I think her tone is too high and nasal to sound sexy.

Right?
