Even if "Woman's World" didn't sound like its author had to have feminism explained to her by the top half of the first page of Google, its message of empowerment would have rang false, simply because it was co-written and co-produced by Dr. Luke

Defying all sense of taste, the pop singer's comeback single is too dispiriting to even approach camp. It's abysmal.

[Bethenny Frankel]

well its over for her

Quote

With its pulsating synths and steamroller chorus, "Woman's World" is clearly modeled on Lady Gaga's 2020 single "Stupid Love," a brazen return to form that successfully launched Gaga into the second act of her career. There seems to have been a miscalculation, though: "Stupid Love" worked not because of its sound but because it took the core elements of Gaga's music—slightly nonsensical lyrics, acid-trip concept, a general struggle with vowels—and turned them up to 11.

this review is so unprofessional and chase for clout. Critics used to be professionals but now as i see in America everyone can be a critic who's not an illiterate. I agree that the song isn't good, very generic but this review is just as garbage as the song. 

working with a rapist is what's unprofessional here. using that controversy for clout is what katy is doing here. 

 

as a former katy kat she can rot in hell after this

katycats spending years lashing stupid love for this

You guys have to read it. They went in, lmfaoooo. 

 

Even if "Woman's World" didn't sound like its author had to have feminism explained to her by the top half of the first page of Google, its message of empowerment would have rang false, simply because it was co-written and co-produced by Dr. Luke, the producer Kesha accused, in a since-dismissed lawsuit, of sexual assault and emotional abuse—allegations he denied. It's sincerely twisted, if unsurprising—I generally believe you have to be at least be something of an amoral hypocrite to be a celebrity or pop star, and fair play to those willing to do it—but it also reveals "Woman's World" to be even more of a monumental catastrophe: If Perry was willing to cop the built-in bad press of making a song about women's lib with an alleged abuser, shouldn't the song at least be a banger? Instead, it's unfathomably tepid, irritating at best. In the immortal words of Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, uttered moments before she died: "Katy Perry, please stop."

omg this is insane

Not Stupid Love being used to lash Katy. What kind of reverse warholian experience...

 

I called it regarding Dr. Luke being brought up in every single review. God, what a stupid decision.

I am still laughing, it was actually hard to breathe when I first read that. 

 

Af first I didn't think they were scalping her but they really went in for the FATALITY at the end.

[byzantium]

Isn't the phrase a "failed Stupid Love" a little redundant?
