I think Katy Perry is a talentless attention seeking loser. Discuss.

[Danger Mouse]

:puke:

[Fenris]

1. That's not an opinion, it's a demonstrable fact.

[Danger Mouse]

3. Well, yes, I am aware of this.

:hi:

[quakerboy]

2. whosat?

[Danger Mouse]

5. the brainless oaf responsible for that loathsome 'I Kissed a Girl' song.

it's just shameless and exploitative.

[quakerboy]

12. the whatnow?

Damn, I didn't think was that old. Somewhere here there is some missing reference material on "those darn kids" that I must not have read closely enough.

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. There was another "I kissed a girl" song about 10-15 years ago.

Jill Sobule, IIRC.

Perhaps I should do a loser, no-talent, attention-seeking remake of "All Around the Watchtower" and pretend that I was first.

[Orrex]

19. The current crappy song isn't a remake

And, sadly, the earlier version is one of Sobule's worst songs. Too bad it's the one that got airplay.

[soleiri]

4. what's there to discuss? n/t

[Danger Mouse]

7. how much i'd like to see the ghost of freddie mercury punch her in the vocal chords?

[Mad_Dem_X]

46. LOL! n/t

[nickgutierrez]

6. I don't know how much discussion you can possibly have on this issue.

Unless we try to quantify "attention seeking loser", so that we might rank one against another. For example, is she more or less of an attention seeking loser than Paris Hilton?

I say less.

[Danger Mouse]

8. That'd be a tough debate, friend.

[GOPisEvil]

9. There's discussion needed?

She and people of her ilk are the reason I don't listen to Top 40.

[Danger Mouse]

11. Sure. Discuss whether or not she's the biggest musical abomination currently polluting the airwaves.

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

10. I've only heard the kiss the girl song.

I have seen pictures of her. She has a different style for sure.

She doesn't seem to be my style. But I really don't know mcuh about her music.

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Now that I've seen this thread

I have that song stuck in my head. So fuck you. :P

[Danger Mouse]

21. You have to buy me dinner first.

Hey Kateastrophy. :hug:

[rcrush]

14. Didnt someone in the 90's do a I kissed a girl song?

This isnt the same girl is it?

[GOPisEvil]

17. That was Jill Sobule.

[Danger Mouse]

22. No, THAT song was good.

[Pierre.Suave]

15. I need pictures

before reaching my conclusion...

:P

[elshiva]

18. Here:

[Orrex]

20. She's about the most over-rated hack in the history of music

Oops--sorry! I thought we were talking about Amy Winehouse.

[Danger Mouse]

23. Wino is the world's most famous crackhead.

[Lucian]

24. There's nothing to discuss.

You hit the nail right on the head.

[KillCapitalism]

25. I pretty much agree. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

26. She needs to be pinned in a five count by that bastard King Kong Bundy.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

27. People like her are precisely the reason I no longer follow the music charts

And this from someone who would once get up at 5AM every morning to watch the top 50 in my country. When talentless, worthless, attention-seeking, phony losers like Kate Perry started polluting the Top 50, I switched off and have very seldom looked back

[Pierre.Suave]

28. After conducting some research

I have concluded that I am not her target demographic because I am not a highschool girl.

[PassingFair]

29. My highschool girls skipped her performance at Warped Tour last summer....

THEY know a poseur when they see one.

:eyes:

[Pierre.Suave]

30. well congrats

your teenage girls are smarter than the average that must be her big fans...

:eyes: back at ya...

[PassingFair]

32. The :eyes: were for Katie Perry....

:hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

33. Ah

in that case, I apologize.

[PassingFair]

34. No, the miscommunication was on my side.

I should use the :sarcasm:
but I am too lazy and frequently
substitute the

:eyes: or the

:P


...both of which are apparently open
to interpretation!

[Pierre.Suave]

35. Its all good

[Lyric]

31. I will admit that I like "Hot N Cold"

It's bouncy and catchy. There's some sexism tossed in there too, but I can't help it--whenever I hear it, I bounce.

All her other songs suck ass, though.

:hi:

[Iggo]

36. I think she's very cute.

She can bat those glazzies at me any day.

[ghostsofgiants]

37. She's cute though.

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

40. I agree

very cute.

[jakefrep]

38. I dunno, I kinda like "I kissed a Girl"

And she had the good sense to escape the "Christian" music industry.

[mitchum]

39. Trendy quasi-lesbian titillation is soooooooooo last century

[undeterred]

41. Who?

:shrug:

[jmowreader]

42. She's cute, and Hot and Cold is basically harmless

The world would have been better if someone would have accidentally deleted I Kissed A Girl before it got inflicted on the rest of us.

[mvd]

43. I like the voice and sound. Her lyrics could use some work, as..

many seem tongue and cheeck but without the wit Avril has. Overall, I like Katy.

[bigwillq]

44. I like her songs, though.

Don't really know too much about her as a person btu her songs are catchy, if not overplayed.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

45. One of the reasons I carry an iPod with me.

When I'm in places where the local crappy radio station is playing stuff like that, I just put on my headphones.
