What a foolish thing to gauge overall audience reaction with a few "laughing/silent" faces from the crowd. Anyway, the tour tickets are selling out. I'd say it was a smart move to coincide rolling out the dates in Australia with the AFL performance.

You might argue that Gaga is more relevant but that's largely because of her movie career. You might say that it's because of her "talent" and there's nothing wrong with that. Meanwhile, Katy Perry stayed on her lane: pop music. Both have become less relevant, but only one of them is working (if not trying) tooooo hard fighting for relevancy.

I use TTPD from time to time. Taylor has been untouchable in the last few years and everyone knows that - it would be delusional to think otherwise. But does that mean the quality is good? There are better songs in TTPD than Fortnight: MBOBHFT and TSMWEL, for instance. But that Fortnight song doesn't hold a candle to Katy's worst song in 143. If you sincerely enjoy Fortnight, I feel sincerely honestly sorry for you.

We gotta support where it is needed. STREAM I'M HIS, HE'S MINE

To be fair, nobody expected this to do well but I couldn't believe it would flop this hard, considering how much hype there is around new music from her. I love the ASIB soundtrack so I gave this a listen and it's not far from bad. However, nothing is really memorable from this project. I will probably give it another go later, but I hope she moves on quickly into LG7. P.S. The visuals for this project are underwhelming.

No one is doing it like her. She's a flop when it comes to streaming, yes, BUT she's totally serving with these performances. She's booked and busy and 143 feels like a true MPG era. I'm not the type who cares about charts and positions because I know how fraudulent numbers can be. She's on a mission to serve her fans and we're fed with visuals, bops, and BEAUTY. Not everyone can relate to that.

I feel like these songs strongly represent the album/era sonically and lyrically.

I have to pick two for each album. Thinking of You/Waking Up in Vegas The One That Got Away/Hummingbird Heartbeat Double Rainbow/Walking on Air Witness/Power Never Really Over/Teary Eyes WONDER/ALL THE LOVE

I need All The Love to have a tour video. It's the only way to go.

Some of us need to be reminded that THE Teenage Dream album scored 52 in Metacritic. Whatever score she's getting from her albums after that is neither a drag nor a flex to actual fans. No actual fan cares about Metacritic scores.

Another pointless thread to solicit hatred against Katy...

Jobless behaviour to be creating pointless threads like this. Nothing in Joanne is memorable. Time passed and it decayed into nothingness. At least, 143 has time on her side. Give it a few years before comparing it to that garbage.

I wish this one had an extended version. The lyrics being simplistic and repetitive is the point, but it still lacks a little personality. If she could release a version with a second verse and more adlibs in the final chorus, it would be on par with the heavenly bop Walking On Air. It has so much potential to be excellent but right now, it's WoA's boring sister. Dua's Anything for Love has this same issue.

Not when Dark Horse (pop-urban/trap-perfect song of early 2010's) exists. Nonetheless, she's not Beyonce (or even Taylor). If she wanted to be at the forefront, she wouldn't have waited this long between album releases and recent "pop" songs wouldn't have been this sonically bland.

The way she delivers 'TIL THE END is sooo good. The best part of the snippet for me.

No one is forcing you to support Katy Perry in 2024. It's not like her recent singles are being auto-played to death, rupturing your eardrums, the way some of your faves' music are. Stop acting like you don't have a choice what to listen to or who to boycott. Call her out once and call it a day. Move on to your boring life, listening to your boring favorite artist.

Every era, she had at least one questionable single choice, but it was never the lead material. Woman's World is not unlistenable but it's just not it... Next single, please!

If Katy still cared about numbers, she would add 365 and WIM to an edition of 143 in the similar way Dua did with that Barbie song to Radical Optimism.

I'm also concerned that WW is Track 1. NRO is an epic album opener to Smile.

365, NRO, and HIH. She could serve pop excellence if she wanted to, but I sincerely believe she only released this song to generate buzz. It's not working the way they might have expected, so they should start rush-releasing the next single.

This concept is great, but the execution is meh. If the song was longer, there could have been more room to tell, idk, a complete/solid story? She rarely fails in that department, so this is surprising for me.

Top 10 or Bubbling, I'm streaming, so long as the music slaps. It's not like the Top 10 in Hot 100 are actual hits nowadays

I'm not a very vocally active user, but I've only been following Katy threads. This is the second time a thread in anticipation of her music was closed. Is it really that serious?

If her team is smart, she'll release an official version, a demo version, an AI version, an OKH-never-liking-any-version version. This will make more sense than the thousand versions of TTPD.

Everyone's announcing but her.
