MALAMENTE Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 4 hours ago, Aurora said: That's just it though, it's not 2010 anymore. Who benefits from Katy selling sex in 2024? What audience does it cater to? Will that audience support her music? She's also a mother now, and not everyone is as accepting of a 40-year-old mother embracing their sexuality as a 20-something desirable pop starlet. Not my personal opinion, just the way things are still unfortunately. She tried selling sex with Bon Appétit. Didn't work. She tried selling sex with When I'm Gone. Didn't work. She wasn't even really good at it in the 2010's, it's just that she was so undeniably hot that people could overlook all of the terrible food metaphors and innuendos because of the glow of a pop icon in their imperial phase. Remember "Milk Milk Lemonade"? That is not sexy. Katy's biggest flaw has always been the huge breaks she takes between album cycles. Two years between OOTB and TD (which would have been longer had Katy's debut dropped in 2005-2007 as originally intended), 3 years between TD and PRISM, 4 years between PRISM and Witness, another 3 years between Witness and Smile, and 4+ years between Smile and whenever KP6 drops, if it is indeed dropping next year. It worked during Teenage Dream when she was able to sustain the era with 6 singles + a further 2 singles from a re-release, but PRISM had only 5 (the final's chart run concluding about a year following the album drop), and Witness and Smile 3 (none of which were particularly successful at that). She doesn't have the kind of unwavering sleeper cell support from the GP like an artist such as Adele or possibly Rihanna will have if and when she decides to drop an album. I agree with everything though what exactly makes someone be good at selling sex if being so hot is not enough? Being aware that you are hot but not pushing it or being weird about it? I do think it is subjective to a certain degree.
Ramooon Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 when you try to sell sex it never works. it only works when it is comes naturally. she has never been seen as a "sexy" pop girl. Even when she was "it" girl, it wasn't because of her sex appeal, so we can say that it will not work
