HELLOOOOOO!

ROUND 1: FREE CHOICE
> Any song by your artist. <

---

It's a TRIPLE ELIMINATION this round.

You all have until 3rd May 23:59, to help the moderators decide what to go for. There are 16 rounds overall and they are THEMED (moderators, please see AF Moderating Forum - no reveal of the themes though, please.)

Posted by: Addy! 3rd May 2020, 12:14 AM

California Gurls since it seems to be popular (but not the most) from Teenage Dream era

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd May 2020, 12:20 AM

Yeah. I was thinking of perhaps 'The One That Got Away', 'California Gurls' or even 'Wide Awake' at this stage?

Posted by: RobBot 3rd May 2020, 12:20 AM

I think we could possibly go even safer, there's no need to throw out any big guns at Round 1. Maybe something like 'Roulette' that's considered great but wouldn't be in her "tops" to submit to an album track round?

Posted by: Liam.k. 3rd May 2020, 12:28 AM

I think 'Roulette' is too obscure / not loved enough. Katy has enough well-regarded singles to get her through.

'Waking Up in Vegas' perhaps?

Posted by: RobBot 3rd May 2020, 12:29 AM

Yeah, I've just trawled through the other forums and realised people are going in for Round 1 harder than I expected. Waking Up In Vegas sounds like a good shout for being liked but not in most people's top 5's etc.

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd May 2020, 12:31 AM

Ooh yes! Actually WUIV could be the perfect single choice.

If you wanted an album track how about 'Legendary Lovers'?

Posted by: Beef Curtains 3rd May 2020, 12:40 AM

LEGENDARY LOVERS!!

Posted by: Calum 🐠 3rd May 2020, 12:40 AM

Legendary Lovers would be a great choice if an album track is being sent wub.gif

Posted by: RobBot 3rd May 2020, 12:47 AM

Legendary Lovers being a popular album track is interesting *files away in notes*

Posted by: Beef Curtains 3rd May 2020, 12:56 AM

Legendary Lovers vs Walking On Air was the big fan battle in the Prism days.

Posted by: Infludexton* 3rd May 2020, 04:34 AM

How popular is ET on here? It’s a personal fave of mine but I’m not sure how much anyone else liked it laugh.gif

I think California Girls or Waking Up In Vegas are great choices, the latter actually came on shuffle for me the other day and I forgot how much of a bop it is! That whole album was incredible actually


Posted by: Scene 3rd May 2020, 08:59 AM

Yeah I think Waking Up In Vegas is a great choice! Or maybe T.G.I.F?

Posted by: Hauspital* 3rd May 2020, 10:27 AM

E.T. is hugely popular and a big hitter for later.

WUIV is a cute choice (and in my personal top 3 from her so you can count on my vote cool2.gif) or Legendary Lovers which is more of a risk but probably ok for first round given only 3 out of 26 are leaving!

Posted by: Beef Curtains 3rd May 2020, 11:04 AM

Why is Dexton going around all the AFs and suggeatinf their most popular songs foe the first round?!

Posted by: Andrew. 3rd May 2020, 12:21 PM

Yeah E.T actually held up better than I thought in last year’s ASFC final laugh.gif Waking Up... isn’t remembered amongst casual/non fans I thought, it’s always seemed quite forgotten to me but I wasn’t really following Katy at the time so y’all know best. I was thinking the lesser Teenage Dream singles, TOTGA or Wide Awake? This is How We Do is another one.

Peacock is probably her best known album track tbh cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Beef Curtains 3rd May 2020, 12:36 PM

Um both of those songs are popular, especially TITGA, which cane top 3 on the latest survivor...

Ok, everyone, if we want a legittimate contest, little shèts have to go first. They should be disqualified anyway!!! SO!! FIRST ROUND: DO NOT VOTE FOR THAT SALTY COWELL BAND NO MATTER WHAT!!! THEY MUST GO FIRST TO PROTECT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE CONTEST

Agree with either of these two. I think cali gurls is a good shout too but could possibly be better used in a later round

Posted by: Juan Carlos 3rd May 2020, 01:37 PM

"Waking Up In Vegas" seems to be a good choice in this round. I wouldn't be opposed if "The One That Got Away" or even "Harleys In Hawaii", in a lesser extent, are sent instead.

Posted by: Beef Curtains 3rd May 2020, 01:52 PM

TOTGA came 3rd in the most recent survivor and no one likes Harleys rotf.gif

Posted by: Cameron 🐠 3rd May 2020, 03:04 PM

I would go for E.T or Roar?


Never Really Over for the final pls!

Posted by: RobBot 4th May 2020, 12:14 AM

We've played it semi safe (sorry Trouble, I sent this last night thinking you weren't around!) without needing to throw out the biggest of guns which I'd say E.T. and Roar are amongst.

Thats ok, don't worry. Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately. I trust your judgement heart.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 5th May 2020, 10:25 AM

It's a very good choice for the first round, I think. I know a lot of people would cast it aside, but I think it'll get more casual votes than people think.

I voted [You can too by clicking http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233734]

It was ranked 1st in my rankings (to the surprise of nobody)

Posted by: RobBot 5th May 2020, 01:29 PM

It pretty much wound up as one of the only ballads (and possibly the only competitive ballad, sorry Lana x) which I'd hope could work in its favour.

Posted by: Jonjo 5th May 2020, 01:39 PM

Perfect round for it tbh. I wasn't as confident in seeing it used further down the list!

Posted by: Beef Curtains 5th May 2020, 04:25 PM

Lana's ballad is great!

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 7th May 2020, 06:49 PM

what for Round 2?


California Gurl or Roar?!!!

Posted by: Scene 7th May 2020, 06:53 PM

I think either would be safe options. CG could be risky depending on what it's up against. Roar seems generally more loved on here.

Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2020, 06:55 PM

I think any of her possible choices would be safe for this stage! Including Chained!

Posted by: Beef Curtains 7th May 2020, 07:11 PM

Go for Chained or Legendary Lovers!

Posted by: Andrew. 7th May 2020, 07:35 PM

Posted by: Jay ☆ 7th May 2020, 10:00 PM

Maybe Chained to the Rhythm? Roar could be stronger later on.

California Gurls could be a 'now or never' song to send, it seems to have its haters here... but does it have enough love?

Chained > California > Roar

Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2020, 10:39 PM

I think Chained might be the best choice too (obviously with saving IKAG & Roar in mind) Cali Gurls has it's fair share of haters, but I'd assume it'd pick up a lot of casual votes?

But Chained I think would be a safer choice.

Posted by: Beef Curtains 7th May 2020, 10:41 PM

Cali Gurls is one of her signature hitz laugh.gif Save it

AND OMG DO NOT VOTE FOR CHEATING LITTLE SHÈTS AND NEVER LET THEMF ORGET THEY SROLE GAGA'A PLACE AND MANY OTHER ACTUAL ARTISTS' RIGHTFUL PLACES WITH THEIR CHEESY COWELL PAP!!! DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM!! SIGN THE PETITION TO KEEP THEM OUT!!!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th May 2020, 12:45 AM

Make a statement and go with I Kissed A Girl for round 2 That was a lead single right and not just the first one to chart here in UK?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 8th May 2020, 12:48 AM

"Chained To The Rhythm" seems the best choice, so "I Kissed A Girl", "California Gurls" and "Roar" could be saved for later rounds.

Posted by: RobBot 8th May 2020, 12:55 AM

Yeah, I'd definitely keep Roar for later. Chained was my thought aswell, with only one going, I'm quietly confident we could send ANY of the four and we'd make it through, not to be arrogant.

Posted by: RobBot 8th May 2020, 01:03 AM

Going by our last rate results, this is the ranking of Katy's lead singles:

5th | Roar
6th | Chained To The Rhythm
10th | I Kissed A Girl
13th | California Gurls

...which suggests Chained To The Rhythm is a stronger option to "save" for later rounds than I Kissed A Girl and California Gurls would be? Decisions x

Posted by: Jonjo 8th May 2020, 01:22 AM

Also in the last AF Idol:

Round 2 | Chained To the Rhythm [3rd out of 22]
Round 7 | I Kissed A Girl [4th out of 12]
Round 10 | Roar [2nd out of 5]
N/A | California Gurls [N/A]

They're all safe bets tbh, even CG.

This!
I genuinely don't know which would be the best to send through because I think they'd all make it to the next round. She has strong lead singles. I'm always surprised by the hate for Cali gurls on here though so maybe we could rule that one out. We could risk IKAG and save Chained and Roar for later rounds? I'm happy to go with any of them! cheer.gif

You know I’ve actually been... discussing the contest outside of just my own forum ohmy.gif As if I’d dare to play in the spirit of the game!

Posted by: Beef Curtains 8th May 2020, 02:13 PM

ALSO SEND CALIFORNIA GURLS NOW!! BJ HAS A WEIRD RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE OF HER GREATEST HOTS EVER!!

Posted by: Scene 11th May 2020, 06:38 PM

Round 3 is songs without a music video. I'm sure Walking On Air will be a contender lol but I would go for Peacock. kink.gif

Posted by: troublepink 11th May 2020, 06:48 PM

Think we'll be saving walkin on air for a later round 🤭

Posted by: Scene 11th May 2020, 06:52 PM

I think Katy's best chance is something from TD but then I'm biased. Is Legendary Lovers also loved on here?

Posted by: George.keh 11th May 2020, 06:58 PM

roulette seems stronger than any of the non-singles off teenage dream

Posted by: J🐠hq 11th May 2020, 07:04 PM

If "Walking On Air" is totally out of the question..I'm not convinced by the TD album as it had so many (correctly chosen) singles, but "Hummingbird Heartbeat" and "Not Like The Movies" would be decent choices imo. The debut also has three very strong album tracks in "One of the Boys", "Self Inflicted" and "If You Can Afford Me"

Personally I wouldn't back anything from Witness

QUOTE(Scene @ May 11 2020, 07:38 PM) *

Omg are you trying to sabotage every AF

Posted by: Hauspital* 11th May 2020, 07:06 PM

'Hummingbird Heartbeat' is a favourite of mine, so i'd throw support behind that. Failing that 'Legendary Lovers' is probably her most well known album track outside of the TD era.

'Roulette' is A M A Z I N G but a Witness track? I am not sure how popular it would be thinking.gif

Posted by: Calum 11th May 2020, 07:07 PM

Yeah I don't think I'd be inclined to support much from the Witness era, oop sad.gif

Hummingbird Heartbeat or Legendary Lovers would both be great choices wub.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 11th May 2020, 07:11 PM

Hummingbird Heartbeat is top 5 on the TD album! wub.gif I love it.

Legendary Lovers is a bop and I thought it was popular on here, but Rob's comment during the selection of Round 1 choices, has made me question it's popularity on here :')

My taste being shot down like that. tearsmile.gif

Posted by: Andrew. 11th May 2020, 07:19 PM

Peacock is literally one of her most streamed, maybe actually the most streamed of her album tracks though? laugh.gif In this round I don’t think it’s a bad pick at all. I remember at the time of Chained’s release it was her 20th best seller.

That or Hummingbird Heartbeat/Roulette. Maybe ‘international smile’ as well <3

Posted by: Calum 11th May 2020, 07:21 PM

Please don't go for Peacock tearsmile.gif

Posted by: Scene 11th May 2020, 07:23 PM

In the words of Peacock:

Heard it's beautiful
Be the judge
And my girls gonna take a vote

Posted by: Cameron 11th May 2020, 07:42 PM

Don't go for Peacock or anything off Witness bar the singles...

I would go for Legendary Lovers so that we could keep Walking On Air for later.

Posted by: RobBot 11th May 2020, 09:49 PM

Walking On Air is being saved for later, that's on what... period.

So, really, it's just a choice between Hummingbird Heartbeat, Legendary Lovers and Roulette. Which do people prefer? (and I might well have to pick the less popular, though I can't disclose later rounds lol)

Posted by: Juan Carlos 11th May 2020, 11:41 PM

If this round is between "Hummingbird Heartbeat", "Legendary Lovers" and "Roulette", my pick is "Roulette". However, if it's taken into consideration that Witness is polarizing and this could go either way, my second choice is "Legendary Lovers".

Posted by: J🐠hq 12th May 2020, 08:59 AM

'Hummingbird Heartbeat' out of those choices please. I hate 'Legendary Lovers' with a passion.

Posted by: George.keh 12th May 2020, 01:44 PM

I don’t think the album it’s off will deter people from Roulette it’s definitely the strongest out the options here

Posted by: Defaze 12th May 2020, 06:55 PM

I’ve never really delved into Katy’s album tracks much, but I did give Witness a few spins when it was released and ‘Roulette’ has featured on every one of my playlists since. It’s such a massive bop (and also sonically similar to the songs that are big at the moment, which might go in its favour).

Posted by: RobBot 12th May 2020, 10:57 PM

So, it was hard to make a decision, but in the end, I decided it'd be most fun to send the "most risky" of the 3 and maybe have people discover a song they haven't yet heard. This game isn't about winning every round after all, if you come one off the bottom each time, you can still win~

Posted by: RobBot 13th May 2020, 12:39 AM

Roulette it is! Help us push on to Round 4 x

http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234051&st=0

Posted by: Dexton 13th May 2020, 05:57 AM

Hummingbird Heartbeat is such a bop, I wonder if it could work in a later round if we had to? It's a shame it wasn't a single outside of Australia it was all over radio, despite not charting very well at all laugh.gif

Posted by: RobBot 13th May 2020, 06:26 PM

If you're a fan of this song, make sure to vote for it! I don't have any stats to hand but I haven't seen a great amount of votes for it, so I'd hazard a guess we're in the bottom 5/6 - we don't wanna lose Katy this soon so make your voice heard for the amazing Roulette wub.gif

Posted by: Scene 15th May 2020, 06:42 PM

It's time to let the Firework off. cheer.gif

Posted by: Klaus 15th May 2020, 06:43 PM

This ain’t the final round!!

Posted by: Scene 15th May 2020, 06:45 PM

I don't even think Firework is Katy's most popular track though. laugh.gif But it's popular enough. thinking.gif I think something from Teenage Dream is safest. Or Hot N Cold.

Posted by: Andrew. 15th May 2020, 06:45 PM

I Kissed A Girl, This is How We Do or Swish would be fine I think, Chained too if that hasn't been sent yet idek tearsmile.gif

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 15th May 2020, 06:46 PM

but it's got to be something big since it's being discussed in other forums as well!!!

I Kissed A Girl
Roar (I actually don't like this at all but I know people love it)
Never Really Over
Chained To The Rhythm


Firework, Dark Horse, Teenage Dreams, Hot N' Cold I am sure are saved for later!!!

Posted by: Calum 15th May 2020, 06:49 PM

Seems way too early to be using the likes of Roar and Never Really Over! I think Katy could comfortably get through with something like Hot N Cold or Legendary Lovers!

I would think Hot N' Cold is bigger than Never Really Over!!!

Posted by: Scene 15th May 2020, 07:02 PM

Maybe I'm biased but I thought Never Really Over is generally seen as one of her best and a welcome return to form. ohmy.gif HNC has always been popular on this forum but it's difficult to know how tired people are of it compared to newer hits it might be up against later on.

Posted by: Wall 15th May 2020, 07:11 PM

I would send Hot & Cold or I Kissed A Girl

Posted by: George.keh 15th May 2020, 07:24 PM

Hot N Cold is way less loved on here than the behemoth that was/is Never Really Over

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 15th May 2020, 09:18 PM

Hot n cold is my fave from Katy along with firework.

Posted by: RobBot 16th May 2020, 01:31 AM

I don't think there's any need, as this competition is getting more competitive, to take anything that didn't finish top 10 in her rate so:

1. Teenage Dream
2. Hot N Cold
3. Never Really Over
4. E.T.
5. Roar
6. Chained To The Rhythm
7. Dark Horse
8. Wide Awake
9. The One That Got Away
10. I Kissed A Girl

Tempted to plump for Chained?

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 16th May 2020, 01:43 AM

Totally agree with that choice Rob wub.gif

This all looks MIGHTILY uncomfortable, not seeing many votes for Chained, so if you were encouraging us to send it, please send a vote our way!

Posted by: Scene 19th May 2020, 06:17 PM

The bottom 3 of the last singles rate were Rise, Cozy Little Christmas and Birthday if we are excluding 365 and obscure remix no one knows. laugh.gif

Birthday is probably the best option - or 365 if we can include that - but Rise is probably my fave out of them.

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th May 2020, 06:24 PM

It has to be the actual bottom 3, we can't exclude features!

Posted by: Wall 19th May 2020, 06:28 PM

It would be Rise, Cosy Little Christmas , Con Calma!

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th May 2020, 06:40 PM

Rise is by far the LEAST good of those three, what are you guys on about??? ohmy.gif Con Calma is the best (and I mean, Cozy's not exactly in season atm x)

Posted by: X Æ Addy-12 19th May 2020, 06:43 PM

actually her three choices are bad songs for real lol.

Posted by: Andrew. 19th May 2020, 07:04 PM

Even though it's not in season I'd still go Cozy :') It's lovely! Con Calma is probs the least known but I'd still vote that over Rise though.

Posted by: Defaze 19th May 2020, 07:15 PM

I don't even particularly dislike 'Rise', but 'Con Calma' is a bop.

Posted by: Wall 19th May 2020, 07:16 PM

I’d go with Con

Posted by: Jonjo 19th May 2020, 07:39 PM

Con Calma is top 15 Katy singles!

A BOP! wub.gif

Posted by: RobBot 19th May 2020, 08:20 PM

I want as much feedback for this as possible because... well, look at the material x

Even though it came last, Rise actually seems the most popular option here?

Posted by: HausofGhibli 19th May 2020, 08:20 PM

'Rise' is the easy choice for sure. It'll get some of the chart forum posters on board too with it being a recent song!

Posted by: Jonjo 19th May 2020, 08:31 PM

I think 'Rise' would be the best option (despite 'Con Calma' being the better song, imo).

'Rise' actually charted! CC is less likely to attract casual chart audience members I think.

Posted by: RobBot 19th May 2020, 10:20 PM

I actually really really like Rise, it's the best out of the 3 for me, the one I reckon is most likely to make it into my votes.

ROUND 7: A ballad album track
Pretty self explanatory, but just to be clear: no singles! It must be a ballad song included on an album. It's time for us to get emotional with this theme!

------

Is there anything that isn't Not Like The Movies that would survive this? I'd quite like to save Not Like The Movies for a certain future round if possible but if not, getting through this round is a priority.

'Lost' or 'I'm Still Breathing'! heart.gif

Posted by: Andrew. 25th May 2020, 06:56 PM

Miss You More was one of the bette received tracks on Witness iirc so that could work but I do think Not Like The Movies would work best. I don’t know her first album though so :shrug:

Posted by: Rush 25th May 2020, 08:02 PM

'Lost' is a really nice track, that would have my support! One of my favourite Katy Perry non-singles.

Posted by: Calum 25th May 2020, 08:23 PM

Ghost and By the Grace of God are both s t u n n i n g in every way (the former's probably pushing it in terms of being a ballad), but I'm unsure whether they're popular or not x

Pearl is too underrated to send. sad.gif

But I'd say By The Grace Of God is a suitable replacement for NLTM if you had to hold onto that! 'Prism' is a popular album on Buzzjack, isn't it? Yeah, it's no TD but popular enough to get BTGOG through I'd imagine? You only have to avoid bottom 2!

Remember to vote here for 'Not Like The Movies'. It would've been nice to save it for a future round, but with this being a double elimination, I'm not sure it was worth the risk! So, here's to making it to Round 8 <3

Posted by: Scene 28th May 2020, 06:08 PM

Waking Up In Vegas was used already right? kink.gif

If it has then I nominate This Is How We Do. #screwwideawake

I think we've already had the one that got away?

My personal preference is This Is How We Do however I think Wide Awake would be the safer option? Was the last one of Witness era Swish Swish?

Posted by: Jade 28th May 2020, 06:24 PM

Omg ‘Wide Awake’ would be an amazing choice wub.gif

Swish swish, it’s a single elimination and that will easily beat anything we’ve got and wide awake will do well later on too

Waking Up In Vegas
Wide Awake
This Is How We Do
Swish Swish

My personal rankings:

This Is How We Do
Wide Awake
Waking Up In Vegas
Swish Swish

---

I'd probably say one of Wide Awake/Waking Up In Vegas would be the safest choices, but TIHWD could be a surpriser.

I can't see SS working though! I think it's TOO love/hate at this stage!

Posted by: RobBot 28th May 2020, 09:49 PM

My immediate thought was Wide Awake, it seems to be most popular here and I don't think we had intention to use it later down the line.

Posted by: HausofGhibli 28th May 2020, 09:50 PM

'Waking Up In Vegas' is my favourite wub.gif but i'd agree that 'Wide Awake' is probably the safest choice!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 28th May 2020, 10:03 PM

Wide Awake is the best option.

This Is How We Do and Swish Swish are both amongst the worst things she’s ever done for me.

Posted by: Dexton 29th May 2020, 01:12 AM

Imagine living in a world where Shit Shit is being suggested over Waking Up In Vegas (10/10) and Wide Awake (9/10)

Posted by: J🐠hq 29th May 2020, 09:03 AM

'Waking Up In Vegas' is one of my very favourite Katy songs so I'd love for that to be sent, but I'd be fine with 'Wide Awake' too.

On a personal level, I find TIHWD a little too generic and looking at what some other AFs are considering, I can see myself only voting for it if needing to make up numbers. sad.gif

Posted by: JulianNial 29th May 2020, 09:05 AM

Both 'Waking Up In Vegas' and 'Wide Awake' would 1000% get my vote. Massive tunes! wub.gif

Posted by: Spiceboy 29th May 2020, 01:01 PM

Waking up in Vegas is one of the few Katy Perry tracks I liked before this competition (have major love for Not like the movies after the last round!) so it could be a potential vote from me. Never really been keen on Wide Awake.

Posted by: RobBot 31st May 2020, 05:21 PM

It's time for another free choice round! Last time we sent our 6th most popular Katy song and it still only came like 6th last so I think we really need to hit with a big gun. There aren't too many free choice rounds left so I'm thinking Hot N Cold seems to be very popular here? Or E.T.

Posted by: Andrew. 31st May 2020, 05:23 PM

E.T could survive a bit longer I think, it had a pretty good showing in last year's final against 'Toxic' (I mean I was expecting an absolute drubbing but it held up okay). Hot N Cold seems a good pick, Dark Horse as well?

Posted by: RobBot 31st May 2020, 05:24 PM

To make it easier for people to voice their favourites, I'm picking between these:

1. Teenage Dream (needed for future round)
2. Hot N Cold
3. Never Really Over (needed for future round)
4. E.T.
5. Roar

Also, got Dark Horse lined up for a future round.

Posted by: Dexton 31st May 2020, 05:30 PM

Please do not send Roar I guarantee I will not vote for it laugh.gif

Hot N Cold is an excellent choice imo

Posted by: Scene 31st May 2020, 05:32 PM

I won't vote for Roar either. laugh.gif HNC or E.T. cheer.gif I think HNC would be the best choice strategically.

Posted by: #VoteGarden.keh 31st May 2020, 05:36 PM

ET and Roar are both FAB would vote for either

Posted by: Wall 31st May 2020, 05:37 PM

I would send E.T with it being a double

Posted by: Wall 31st May 2020, 05:38 PM

I prefer roar but E.T is loved isn’t it

Posted by: HausofGhibli 31st May 2020, 05:53 PM

E.T. is like one of her most loved on here for sure! As it's a double, that may prove to be a safe choice. I think Hot N Cold would be safe too (but less so than E.T.). Roar... seems safe, but it's not a personal favourite of mine.

QUOTE(Wall @ May 31 2020, 06:38 PM) *

Hot N Cold would be my choice of those three. wub.gif As some have already commented, I feel like Roar would probably attract avoidance rather than votes. kink.gif

Posted by: RobBot 31st May 2020, 05:54 PM

Yeah, I think I'm gonna rule out Roar. So it is pretty much between the two that I had in mind initially.

Posted by: troublepink 31st May 2020, 06:22 PM

I'd go for hot n cold

Posted by: Jonjo 31st May 2020, 06:28 PM

E.T. if you have no plans for it later!

Here's how they all did in their rounds last time: (and the songs they were up against to get an idea of the caliber of entries)

Roar finished 2nd out of 5 [Against | Gimme More, Sound Of The Underground, Power & The Edge Of Glory]
Hot N Cold finished 2nd out of 4 [Against | Baby One More Time, Call The Shots & Touch]
E.T. was used in the final. It lost to (a HUGE Buzzjack fave and classic) Toxic by 20 points.

I really think all the choices would be safe. Ngl.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 31st May 2020, 11:14 PM

"Hot N Cold" and "E.T" seem to be the best choices in my opinion. I'm not ruling out "Roar" based of the information above, but it's not one of my favourites from Katy, aside the others two mentioned.

Posted by: Cameron 31st May 2020, 11:21 PM

ET

Posted by: Jαsє 31st May 2020, 11:26 PM

Hot N Cold is my fave Katy song heart.gif

E.T. would also get my vote

Posted by: J🐠hq 1st June 2020, 11:11 AM

Hot N Cold > Roar > E.T.

But all are at least 9/10

Posted by: Jay ☆ 1st June 2020, 11:26 AM

I’m the odd one out probably but I’m not hugely into Hot n Cold. Roar is by far my favourite listed!

I feel like this would be Roar’s last chance to do well, whereas I assume the other 2 could still perform strongly later on.

Posted by: Klumzee 1st June 2020, 11:56 AM

I think you should go with Roar - coming 2nd against those massive Buzzjack faves is pretty impressive! Judging by opinions in this thread it's the least liked out of those three - so I'd plump for Roar as it still would do well!

Posted by: Jack 1st June 2020, 12:31 PM

Ugh I really dislike E.T sad.gif

Roar would be my choice, personally!

She just doesn't feel like she's doing as well this time around, I feel like Never Really Over love really propelled people's love for Katy nostalgia last time, but now hype is amongst other artists (Gaga and Ariana this time round) so we wouldn't have the same fortune.

I plumped for Hot N Cold because the competition looked tight and... well, I was definitely right. We're going to really need the support here, guys wub.gif

Posted by: RobBot 3rd June 2020, 06:38 PM

I hadn’t even though about using E.T with Kanye for this, you know, I doubt that’d be eligible as a remix because it’s the same as the original, just with added verses, as opposed to remixing the song as a whole 👀

We would be able to use anything from Complete Confection though, so Part Of Me is a possibility. And probably the only possibility - definitely wishing I’d saved Wide Awake now but the description wasn’t very clear until a few days ago.

Otherwise it’d kinda just be

Rent-a-rappers ARE allowed now. The original description was with the intent of preventing any remix that got a singles push (ala those and Calvin's version of 'Say My Name (Spectrum)') an unfair advantage, but it's been opened up now.

Wasn't Katy Perry's version of 'Con Calma' THE remix? How about that, if you wanted to use 'E.T.' later? 'Part Of Me' might be a smarter choice due to being more familiar with audiences though.

Part of Me please!! wub.gif wub.gif

Posted by: Wall 3rd June 2020, 08:19 PM

I’d say part of me but if other forums are sending huge hits then it has to be ET or Tommie Sunshine megamix tbh

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd June 2020, 08:21 PM

Con Calma would be suicide in this game! I think forums are going to be cheeky and loophole where possible so I'd go for E.T. with Kanye or Part Of Me.

Posted by: RobBot 3rd June 2020, 08:26 PM

Yeah, my headspace is kind of saying Katy’s days are numbered so I’m going ALL IN now... and we’re potentially f***ed if we do get to the end, but do I take that risk and try and thrust her as far as I can now?

It’s definitely an E.T or Part Of Me shout, it’s just a question of throwing it out sooner than intended or not.

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd June 2020, 08:33 PM

Was anything pencilled in for this round or was E.T. meant to be saved for later?

Posted by: Scene 3rd June 2020, 09:20 PM

So, until just over 24 hours ago, single remixes weren’t allowed and deluxe albums being included as bonus tracks wasn’t really discussed. Therefore, neither E.T or Part Of Me were eligible.

I was looking at a remix of something like Waking Up In Vegas, Bon Appetit or one the bonus tracks in It Takes Two and Act My Age. Today has opened up plenty of options laugh.gif

Call it defeatist, but I think playing tactically is the best option for Katy at the moment because I do think the odds are stacked against her to win the whole thing and I don't wanna pull an Ariana x

Okay, so call me a pessimist, but I've thrown around a few ideas with others, and I honestly think we have to strike with our strongest option now. Hot N Cold scraped by as her supposed 2nd most popular song (and Never Really Over can still be used in a themed round later).

So, I'm thinking of (also knowing Round 13 is very likely to be our last) saying goodbye to a win and throwing Teenage Dream out there now. Tactics~

So, I'm thinking of (also knowing Round 13 is very likely to be our last) saying goodbye to a win and throwing Teenage Dream out there now. Tactics~
Yep. I think I know your plan! *.*

Yeah, I feel like both Katy and Taylor are both similarly well liked but not FAVOURITES on the site. I'd probably say Katy is the least popular left so pushing her as far as I can is all I'm aiming for now.

Yes go for Teenage Dream. cheer.gif

Posted by: Wall 10th June 2020, 06:06 PM

Her best song

Posted by: Jonjo 10th June 2020, 07:59 PM

'Teenage Dream' is gonna be fine! Honestly. I think you're one of 4 forums safe. LM are gonna be bottom with the other 2 fighting it out for the other elimination, imo.

SHE MIGHT BE LAST

Shh, gotta whip people into a panicked frenzy so they vote (all tea though, I think the bottom 4 which she will be in is gonna be super close, so no resting!)

Posted by: troublepink 12th June 2020, 03:03 PM

Great choice to send teenage dream for this round cheer.gif I think she will get through but its going to be so so close, so everyone please vote for her wub.gif

I’m so happy we made top 5 *cries*

This was my aim
And we did it!!

Posted by: Jay* 14th June 2020, 12:12 AM

I personally prefer Act My Age, but By the Grace of God is the way to go, I think!

Posted by: RobBot 14th June 2020, 01:26 PM

There really hasn’t been much discussion for this round. sad.gif

I think it’s probably the end of the road either way but whats the general consensus on the pick for this round~

Posted by: Jonjo 14th June 2020, 01:39 PM

The whole forum's been dead this weekend! drama.gif I wonder where everybody is! sob.gif

I actually forgot about 'Act My Age'! I think it could be a risk worth taking? But will the general perceptions of the 'Witness' era hinder it, or will it be more of a "OMG 'Witness' DID have a good album track after all!"...

BTGOG would be safer, but AMA might be a nice discovery for people?

Posted by: Andrew. 14th June 2020, 02:35 PM

Is By the Grace of Good god, this is dull a particularly well loved track? Maybe I’ve been missing something laugh.gif I think Act My Age would do better and I’m not just saying that because I love the song, it’s fun and uptempo (one of the few on Witness that match that criteria) and very instant, I think it’d appeal to pop posters.

Yep. We have it now! (Jay missed the pop up)

Posted by: RobBot 14th June 2020, 08:27 PM

Sorry, I just felt it'd have a wider appeal than a ballad that isn't considered her best, when Katy ballads aren't hugely well received anyway. I do, however, remember a few people saying Act My Age was one of the few highlights from Witness.

Can't please everyone and as I said, this is very likely the end of the road either way sad.gif

Posted by: RobBot 14th June 2020, 08:32 PM

But, here's the link if you DO want to throw a vote her way <3

I don't think its a bad choice at all and you've done amazing in getting the forum this far as it is, so please don't feel bad. And as you said, you can't please everyone...especially with a theme like this heart.gif

Posted by: Spiceboy 15th June 2020, 10:10 AM

I think the song is good, all 5 songs are good!

APPARENTLY it's closer than we'd think! If you're #TeamKaty - get over to this thread NOW and cast your vote, it might just push us to 4th <3

Posted by: RobBot 16th June 2020, 11:22 AM

KEEP PUSHING! If we get through to the next round, it’s MADE FOR KATY, could possibly win it. Would be such a waste to not get there knowing that we’re apparently so close!

This is definitely the least active forum left going but if there’s any members lurking, this is the last shout for support!

Posted by: Jonjo 16th June 2020, 11:52 AM

This song really isn't as bad as people like to believe it is, either. I've really loved rediscovering it! wub.gif

Posted by: Klumzee 16th June 2020, 12:55 PM

Fingers crossed but I think Katy might be okay as it's a single elimination - I think Gaga and Rihanna are the top two but I've seen plenty of votes including Katy over Madonna or Spice Girls.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th June 2020, 04:33 PM

Out of interest what would Katy’s pick have been for this round?

I just know she would’ve done beaten the Rih forum! Ariana would have as well tactically I am relived! laugh.gif

Guessing it would’ve been either Never Really Over Or The One That Got Away?

Posted by: Jonjo 17th June 2020, 05:44 PM

Never Really Over coz TOTGA was used in a previous round (plus NRO is a fair bit more popular than TOTGA!) </3

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th June 2020, 05:54 PM

Oh yeah! I actually voted for Katy when you used The One That Got Away!

Never Really Over is legit more popular than everything bar Gaga this round I’d say!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 20th June 2020, 11:00 AM

Again, just purely out of interest what would you have selected for Katy for the missed opportunity round.

If it had been Legendary Lovers or the title track of Witness you could’ve gotten my votes.

Posted by: RobBot 20th June 2020, 05:22 PM

It would’ve been Hummingbird Heartbeat, more than likely!

Posted by: Jonjo 20th June 2020, 10:42 PM

HH would probably have made my votes! drama.gif

Posted by: RobBot 25th June 2020, 11:36 AM

Just incase you were wondering what we had planned for the final, given that we'd already thrown all of our big guns out:



Would've walked it, I assume x
