Thank you, Ellen Carpenter, for saying what we've all been thinking.

Here's what I know about Katy Perry: Her album One of the Boys went gold, her single "I Kissed a Girl" went double-platinum, and her boyfriend is Gym Class Heroes cutie Travis McCoy.
Here's what I don't know about Katy Perry: How any of this is remotely possible.

She is TALENTED... she is funny and pretty. Dont hate on someone who has actually worked to be where she is today. She has been in the music scene for a while too. Its not like she just woke up one day and said HEY this is what I want.. she worked and now it is paying off. Maybe you should be taking notes?

I can't say I know that much about her. But I'm not a fan. At all.

I bet this "Ellen" person has heard the song i kissed a girl once and based her whole review on that. Plus she is obviously in love with Zooey Deschanel, and her fans all seem to hate katy. Just because they look alike doesnt mean you can only like one:P I think katy has worked her way to succes and has a lot of talent. I hope she will be around for a while

She's terrible live. She's just a studio singer, and I have no respect for 'singers' that have to be 'tweaked' to sound good.

I think she is very talented and pretty. I like so much her music.. there is an attitude. And I think is very fun and cute her style!

I agree with you. It is for this reason that I like the clear sounds of US Latin Rocker Nil Lara or US Latin Pop Singer Maria Lourdes.

This picture was taken August 19th, 2008 at Six Flags Great America in Maryland. Katy Perry took part in the VMA Tour along with artists like All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Metro Station, Shwayze, and Tyga. During her hit single "I Kiss a Girl", everybody was singing along and dancing in the audience. She puts on a great preformance and dedicates herself. She may not be the biggest role model, but you can tell she loves what she does. You has a lot of energy and great fashion sense. This was a great expierence seeing her, I was looking forward to it greatly.

I took this picture at Six Flags Over Texas this summer. Katy is a good performer. I may not agree with all of her lyrics but she can sing. Her back ground is in Christian Music from what I have read. Maybe this is her way of rebelling against her up brining.
Her songs are fun and catch adn a little rough but nothing too over the top.

I can't stand that darn song "I kissed a girl". Really grinds my gears.

My review: Katy Perry is the Americanized Amy Winehouse, a terrible version of a British talented singer who wrote and make music to her own songs however bad is her reputation of being a junkie-Amy winehouse is original. What followed after was the likes of Duffy and now Katy Perry who cannot sing live and who doesn't have the voice that supports the 'jazz music era' for example Ella Fitsgerald. Amy winehouse's songs are jazzy, original, unique drum beats and tunes compared to today's saturated mainstream music. Katy Perry is the bad cover version that ONLY dress up for the part. :)
