And they were dragging good sis Dua who has just sold out 2 dates at Wembley Stadium. Where's @halcyondayat?!

The thing is... people love a comeback especially from a pop juggernaut like Katy. She just really miscalculated with working with Dr. Luke and the moment everyone collectively hear that the output was not up to par, everyone pounced on her misstep.

 

All of the articles coming out piling up on her is going into overdrive. I hope she steers away online for now because the discourse is just overkill.

Gurl... even her label tried to stop her. Katy has no one to blame but herself, she did CHOSE to do this.

"Consequence named 'Stupid Love' the sixth best song of 2020, calling it "a perfect pop song" and stating it's 'exactly what we've wanted from Lady Gaga for a long, long time'. Other publications, including Billboard and Rolling Stone, also included 'Stupid Love' on their lists of the best songs of the year."

 

 

 

Where is it on metacritic's overall top list? Billboard and RS always name biggest artists in their lists just for the sake of clicks and popularity. Let me remind you that singles from Madonna's last 3 albums were also on their YEC. 

 

What about pitchfork? It was acclaimed by them you said.

I really would like to know what she thought and why she made the choices she made. This is probably the worst lead single ir herstory.

It's definitely a weak song, but tbh I started thinking how it reminds me of "Break My Soul" and pondered exactly how Beyonce got such universal acclaim with also a dated 2016 sounding Dance-Pop empowerment song as her comeback single 

 

"Break My Soul" was the most acclaimed song of 2022 period and yet this is a disaster on the ears to the same critics  This song unironically once again shows how useless and agenda driven critics are honestly 

Wait you kinda spilled

Madonna has had good singles on her last 3 albums and a lot of them have been praised. 

[Afterglow]

Idk, just so tone deaf as a single. 

 

I've never released and album, nor managed a major popstar....but it was so obvious that this was not the right choice and hardly a song that would even make the album.

Man. And I thought the Chained to the Rhythm thread would never get a proper sequel.

"It's a song that made me feel stupider every sorry time I listened to it."

 

This is about right. You feel the brain being squeezed like a lemon every 5 seconds of the song.

It's nothing like that. It's pretty clear that she's very aware that this is her last chance saloon - she's nearly 40 and wants to stay relevant and get another hit - which there's nothing wrong with - it's her career and she should want to succeed. But where she went wrong is she thought Dr. Luke was the answer to that because of all their previous hits together. She refrained from working with him for years because of the Kesha situation, but when she saw that Nicki and Doja were scoring hits with him she thought "if they can do it then why can't I?" What she didn't consider is that people will come down harder on her than those other artists because unlike Nicki or Doja, Katy was actually involved in the Kesha case (whether she should have been or not is a different matter - but she was involved).

 

The right answer is usually the simplest one. There's no need to come up with elaborate excuses for her.

Agreed. The "Who R U" bit in the video, her promo of bragging about her past successes (polishing RIAA diamond awards), is further proof.

 

I do think Katy has a rose-colored glass view of Luke as well. He probably treats her very nicely because he knows that she is responsible for him going from producer with a few mild hits to a mainstream super-producer. So she probably doesn't truly think of him as the devil everyone else does. 

 

It reminds me of how Meghan Trainor commented on how "nice" and "supportive" LA Reid has always been of her and her career despite Gaga, Pink, and many other celebs dropping hints that he's a total jerk. LA Reid was probably always nice to Trainor because she was successful from the beginning and he didn't need anything to change from her.

Not the constant goalpost moving 

Anyway back to the universally panned new Katy Perry single
