I think it's gonna be an other big hit for her, the song is ACE ! :dance:

It got a cool vibe and the lyrics are great again !

 

Actually most of the album tracks would make great singles ! :wub:

I think people arguing about which song should or should not be released from an album (and not just Katy Perry's, but any album really...) is largely irrelevant... The singles market is up the sh!tter and has been since the mid-80s, singles don't make any money(in fact, they probably make a loss if anything for the most part when you take into account marketing, production and promotion costs, and the costs of shooting a video), they only serve a purpose now to sell or boost the sales of an album or to sell Tour tickets (which is where artists DO actually make money...). You could release tracks on MySpace or Bebo, people could download it for nowt, put the video on YouTube (another incredibly effective marketing tool to sell albums...), and it wouldn't make much overall difference...
I think she'll get a hit. I remember the doubters who thought IKAG would be a one hit wonder...

It is still to be seen wherever she'll have a long lating career though, as an prediction id say she probably has.

 

Also the singles are rather relevant since they need to pick the best (or what will be best recieved really) to help sell the album and the tour.

it is incredibly relevant in my opinion...if you pick the wrong single, it can potentially be a career threatening move these days

 

let's imagine Katy had released One Of The Boys second instead of Hot 'N' Cold...it would have done nothing chartwise and that would have been the last we'd see of her. Instead, she has had two huge hits to her name, generating more media attention (I see her in the papers everyday for some reason or another) and constantly bringing 'the Katy Perry brand' to a wider audience...

 

let's imagine if Rihanna had chosen to come back in 2006 with We Ride instead of SOS...that would have been the end of her career

Katy won "International Album of the Year" at the NRJ Music Awards last night ! (France)

 

 

:dance:

Sorry if this has already been posted but a new video for 'Thinking of You' has been made and put on VirginMedia on demand. They're saying it's the next single :huh:

 

this song isnt too bad :)

Edited by Little_Boyo

That song IS the next single! :P

I really don't get how people say it's ''atrocious'' or ''shockingly bad'', it's a pretty good song full of emotion. Well to me at least. :/

I'm really liking "A Cup of Coffee". It's new to me!!

Edited by Josh!

Re-listening to this to celebrate the 15th Anniversary. I love this album so much.

 

I HAVE to skip 'Ur So Gay' every time. Not only due to it's nature but just because it's just shit. :lol:

 

'If You Can Afford Me' is pretty underrated!

 

01. Self Inflicted

02. Lost > Incredibly underrated. What a beauty. <

03. Hot N Cold

04. If You Can Afford Me

05. One Of The Boys

06. I'm Still Breathing

07. Waking Up In Vegas

08. Fingerprints

09. Thinking Of You

10. Mannequin

---

11. I Kissed A Girl > I really don't like this one either lmao. I mean it's alright, but it's so BASIC and boring. It's all gimmick to me. <

12. Ur So Gay

 

Not heard 'A Cup of Coffee' or 'I Think I'm Ready' before, I don't think.

  • 2 months later...

My top 3 : One Of The Boys (it's her best song), I Kissed A Girl, Ur So Gay.

After it : Hot And Cold, Waking Up In Vegas.

Only one her album, which I love.

Edited by Last Dreamer

Album is AWFUL. Thinking of Protoscreech is one of the worst songs ever recorded!! Just shockingly bad. I Kissed A Girl is so beige and boring, Ur So Gay is just cringe and an attempt at being cool. That leaves two good songs - Vegas and Hot n Cold...
