Posted May 29, 20241 yr We go deeper and harder than ever before... We're on the verge of a new era and the hype for Katy Perry's return to music is bubbling under the surface. So, in the midst of rising excitement, what better way to reflect on her past glories than a good old-fashioned rate focusing on her entire discography SO FAR. As with the ongoing S Club 7 rate, if demand is there, I'd love to host some listening parties across the next month to remind people of these eras, so if that sounds like something you'd be excited by, sound off! Here goes with the RULES: - Score every song on the list from 0 to 10. Please try not to leave any unrated - there may be plenty you're unfamiliar with, but you've been blessed with plenty of time to YouTube them or join the listening parties to help form your opinion! - You are allowed three scores of 11 across the entire rate. No -1s please! - Half marks are allowed (but no 10.5). - You do not have to submit your rate in one go. If you want to submit one album at a time as we re-listen, this is fine! - You may edit your rate before the deadline, but please post to inform me of any changes, or they may go amiss. You have until 1st July 2024 for this rate, a long time but by that point, we may well have been blessed with some new Katy! Let's hit it with a whopping 86 songs, the biggest rate that the Katy Perry forum has ever seen! xx. One of the Boys xx. I Kissed a Girl xx. Waking Up in Vegas xx. Thinking of You xx. Mannequin xx. Ur So Gay xx. Hot n Cold xx. If You Can Afford Me xx. Lost xx. Self Inflicted xx. I'm Still Breathing xx. Fingerprints xx. Teenage Dream xx. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) xx. California Gurls ft.

May 29, 20241 yr As I was reading down I got to “the others” and immediately thought I’d missed a Katy album release :lol:
May 29, 20241 yr I was about to say Harley's to slay but I remembered how much this forum dislikes that song
May 29, 20241 yr Author Justice for a cup of coffeeee I didn’t know how much of OOTB to include! And it’s only on a special edition, the same reason I didn’t include High On Your Supply from the Target exclusive of Smile. I can add this and I Think I’m Ready though if it seems an oversight.
May 30, 20241 yr I will take part in this, gonna have a re-visit through these, I haven't heard a lot of these for years so it will be interesting
May 31, 20241 yr Ooh yes this is just the excuse to revisit Katy's discography that I need! Please nag me if I forget to vote!!

June 1, 20241 yr This will be a work in progress. When I've re-listened to the albums, I will update with my ratings. I will quote with my updated rankings when I've completed it all! ^_^ One Of The Boys: 08.0 One of the Boys 06.5 I Kissed a Girl 08.5 Waking Up in Vegas 08.0 Thinking of You 07.0 Mannequin 03.0 Ur So Gay 09.0 Hot n Cold 08.5 If You Can Afford Me 10.0 Lost > This is her most underrated song. Absolutely STUNNING! The way it builds to that gorgeous climax with the final chorus and the strings in the back. < 10.0 Self Inflicted 08.0 I'm Still Breathing 08.5 Fingerprints --- Teenage Dream: (Obviously waiting to re-listen but... I don't think people are going to like my scores for this album... Eeek </3) 10.0 Teenage Dream 07.5 Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) 07.0 California Gurls ft. Snoop Dogg 07.5 Firework 02.0 Peacock 05.5 Circle the Drain > I like some of the chorus (not all of it) and that's about it... it's interesting and one of her most unique songs though. < 11.0 The One That Got Away 10.0 E.T. 05.0 Who Am I Living For? > Similar to CTD. It's interesting enough. But so shouty! < 09.0 Pearl > This is incredibly underrated! Absolutely gorgeous. < 10.0 Hummingbird Heartbeat 08.0 Not Like the Movies 06.0 Part of Me 08.5 Wide Awake 07.0 Dressin' Up --- Prism: 11.0 Roar 08.0 Legendary Lovers 05.5 Birthday 10.0 Walking On Air 07.5 Unconditionally 09.0 Dark Horse ft. Juicy J 10.0 This Is How We Do 08.0 International Smile 08.0 Ghost 07.0 Love Me 09.0 This Moment 07.5 Double Rainbow 08.5 By the Grace of God 09.0 Spiritual > The production on this is very 90's pop girl experimenting with a slightly more alternative sound (ala Madonna 'Ray of Light'/Kylie 'Impossible Princess' eras) just more pop/commercial < 07.5 It Takes Two 09.0 Choose Your Battles > Similar to 'Spiritual' in regards to it's production. I find this one extremely underrated! Always have! < --- Witness 08.0 Witness 07.5 Hey Hey Hey 09.0 Roulette 07.5 Swish Swish ft. Nicki Minaj 05.5 Deja Vu 06.0 Power > This is an endearing mess. < 06.5 Mind Maze 06.0 Miss You More 09.0 Chained to the Rhythm ft. Skip Marley 05.0 Tsunami 09.0 Bon Appetit ft. Migos 08.0 Bigger Than Me 08.0 Save as Draft > I am this songs biggest fan, seemingly. LMAO. I love this kind of ballad & although it has *some* questionable lyrics, I kinda don't care for some reason lol. It's still a beautiful song to me. < 08.5 Pendulum > Very underrated! < 04.0 Into Me You See 05.0 Dance With the Devil 06.5 Act My Age --- Smile: 10.0 Never Really Over > If this was released today, this would 100% be going viral on TikTok with a challenge of people trying to perfect that chorus or something lol < 08.0 Cry About It Later 08.5 Teary Eyes 04.0 Daisies 07.0 Resilient 09.0 Not the End of the World > This really should have been a single! NRO - This - Teary Eyes - Harley's shoulda been the uninterrupted campaign imo. < 06.5 Smile > I actually find this song quite annoying. 'tis catchy though. < 07.5 Champagne Problems 07.0 Tucked 11.0 Harley's in Hawaii > Upped this to my 3rd 11. It's so underrated! < 07.0 Only Love 06.0 What Makes a Woman --- The Others: 09.0 Starstrukk 10.0 If We Ever Meet Again 05.0 Who You Love 04.5 Feels 06.5 Rise 07.0 Waving through a Window 07.0 Cosy Little Christmas 04.0 365 08.0 Con Calma (Remix) 07.5 Small Talk > I actually think this is underrated. Sonically it fits 'Smile' and it's a nice song! Better than 'Smile' anyway! < 06.5 Never Worn White 08.0 Electric 07.5 When I'm Gone 06.5 Where We Started (with Thomas Rhett)

June 4, 20241 yr Author Would there be any interest in the individual album listening parties? Up for hosting one for 'One Of The Boys' at 9pm tonight!
June 4, 20241 yr Definitely going to be voting in this! I had a wonderful nostalgic time listening to albums 1-3 today at work :heart:
June 5, 20241 yr There's some I haven't heard in years across the albums and need to re-familiarise myself with, but given how terrible some of them are (particularly the ones on Witness) putting myself through that feels like a laborious task :lol:
