I will do this soon, so if I forget by the time you close this, please remind meeeee.

Edit: also, I'm not happy with how poorly 'Roar' seems to be doing. Ultimate power, pop anthem!!!

Posted by: Qween 28th May 2016, 10:49 AM

A huge pop chorus is always going to win out for me over a non-existent trap ''chorus''. Katy also happens to have a lot of (basically everything down to Part Of Me)pop songs with huge choruses too, making it that much more imbalanced.

I don't get it either, are people marking it down because of overplay? It's pretty much the biggest song here

(rating out of 10 just for fun)

1. 10 Part of Me
2. 10 Firework

4. 10 Roar
5. 10 The One That Got Away
6. 9.5 I Kissed a Girl

9. 9 E.T.

13. 8.5 This Is How We Do
14. 8 Birthday
15. 8 Waking Up In Vegas
16. 7 Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J)
17. 7 Thinking of You

I know POM does seem kinda odd that it's my fave but I do rather love it for some reason Firework gets played a lot, especially in discos and Bonfire night etc. but it still doesn't fail to slay me, and TOTGA has grown on me a lot over the years, Katy's vocals are so beautiful

IKAG and HNC were 10/10s at the time but they've got slightly old and overplayed now, but they are still jams. I do think E.T. was probably a 10 too but it's suffered slightly more, the same with CG.

I'm surprised how good all her singles are, like even the lesser ones are 7/10 for me

It may sound undeniably huge/catchy but it's so...empty and uninteresting beneath that. Clearly (and expertly) formulated to smash radio for mindless mass consumption (more so than anything else Katy's done), and there's only so much enjoyment you can derive from that. That's my feeling on it anyway and why I'd mark it down.

01. Wide Awake
02. Teenage Dream

17. California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dogg)

I'd say I only dislike California Gurls. Very strong discography, though the top three are considerably ahead of the pack.

This was actually immensely hard. 'Part Of Me' is a 5/10 (actually maybe 4/10). Strong discography indeed!

The bigger hits like Firework and Hot N Cold are much lower due to overexposure. I loved them both when they first came out! Roar and Teenage Dream are my 11/10 moments alongside some 10/10s in the small hits like The One That Got Away, Birthday and Unconditionally

Colour coded them by album just to show how much I detest the PRISM era and how much I prefer the other two.

Posted by: J▲hq 4th June 2016, 02:31 PM

I see your point, but I'm judging you for having "This Is How We Do" so high which I see as being very generic (and I don't get how people can have that and "Last Friday Night" so far apart, I feel like they're pretty similar in their generic-ness )

I see it the other way round. I find Roar a bit generic, and doesn't excite me at all, whereas I think This is How We Do has a very interesting and subtle structure with a unique rythem.

Posted by: Noahspike 4th June 2016, 10:56 PM

Yeah, I can't see how 'This Is How We Do' is particularly generic. It's got a lot of character to it in terms of lyrics and vocal delivery, and I still find it irresistibly catchy and fresh (unlike 'Last Friday Night', though I completely get the comparison as it's always reminded me of that).

Posted by: Tyler 5th June 2016, 12:39 AM

This!

Now you are MY spirit animal.

Posted by: Jonjo 5th June 2016, 09:23 AM

Just get a room already, you two.

But yeah, I'm in the 'This Is How We Do' is not generic group! So charming and a lot of character and ever since my first listen of 'Prism' it's been a fave/stand out of mine!

Posted by: J▲hq 5th June 2016, 09:33 AM

I favour 'Last Friday Night' of the two as I find it more fun (lyrically) but I think they're both rather monotonous
