Don’t Buy: Katy Perry’s Fameball
Normally, I avoid the top 40 radio stations and hits. But occasionally, I hear about these rock and pop stars through tabloids and other ridiculousness. And although some news and celebrities don’t really bother me, i.e. Britney Spears. (I’m not from the church of “leave Britney alone” or anything but because she’s in constantly unfunny situations, eh I’d rather not hear about her.) But there is a new pop star (”new” being debatable). Katy Perry. Now she is one person I don’t care who she kissed or who she thinks is gay.
My annoyance began when I got her “UR so Gay” single at the radio station last year. It sounded like a Lily Allen ripoff. She dressed similarly, that song also had a similar sarcastic tinge to it that was slightly non-PC. But it failed. It wasn’t good. And that was that. But then all of a sudden, BAM, huge.
Besides her annoying single “I Kissed A Girl”’s 243 week stay on the charts, (being number 1 for more than 5 weeks) she also turns out to be equally annoying. With such an “edgy” song about kissing someone of the same gender, it turns out she never really kissed a girl, therefor could not “like it” as the song pronounces.
It gets worse. She attended the Vans Warped Tour. Although, in my book, that tour is for annoying pop punk bands to gather their black t-shirt wearing fans in order to sell more merch. Katy Perry attended the tour as made evident below.
What’s Wrong with this situation:
1. Everyone is pumped about her being there, and knows all the words (how!?! why?!?)
2. She crowd surfs?? Someone has to be rolling in their grave over that
3. She’s a pop princess, the “scarity” and my image of the Warped Tour potentially being cool to anyone has now been shattered.
So what brings on the Katy Perry rant? Well, as the title says, she’s just too big for what she does. Sure, the single is good (I guess?), but who is she to bother my little Miley Cyrus? She claimed she wanted to kiss the little 15 year old (at the time) on stage for the VMAs. What an attention whore! And pedophile? I don’t know.
She also thinks she’s really hot and shows that off to fundraise money. (Plastering celebrity chests are a don’t buy all together.) AND she started off as a Christian singer! Known as Katy Hudson, she was a religious based crooner. Her dad’s a pastor. Now she sings about “gay” related material. Sell out, sorta?
But what gets my goat right now? The announcement that her star hasn’t faded out yet. She’s still surfing the fame wave. She will be hosting the MTV Europe awards. (Which is something I will not be watching). It’s just annoying because hell she is still around, stealing other people style and is really really big because of it.

katy perry sucks… but whats so bad about starting as christian rocker!
Back in 2k8.6, we used to listen to the radio in the office, and this song would be on like 20 times in a row.
I never bothered to look up who sang it, because I knew I would be obligated to obtain revenge. Thanks for that.
very entertaining read!
i watched the video and was quite appalled myself. First of all, you could hear the actual recorded version of the song (or at least just the processed vocals) playing in the background! Secondly, she couldn’t even hit the high octave in the middle of the chorus, and just did a shouty-thing. weak. Then, finally, displaying her absolute disregard for the band and wiping her ass with whatever dignity the warped tour hadn’t already sold to the highest bidder… she jumps into the crowd as the band huddles around the drums and rips out the ending… the best part of the song.
MTV won’t be satisfied until live shows are preprogrammed computers playing beats with naked women dancing around.
Hey! trade the band for a DJ and put a big metal pole on the stage! then you’d have something…
Why can’t you just accept that she is a singer who is trying to earn a living? Don’t you have anything better to do than slag off popstars that some people may like? I understand that you may have your own opinion, but, please, keep it to yourself.
Why can’t you just accept that Sara is a writer who is trying to earn a living? Don’t you have anything better to do than slag off on bloggers that some people may like? I understand that you may have your own opinion, but, please, take note of your surroundings. That’s kind of the entire premise of this site. That we share our opinions on things.
Don’t take it personal, luv.
It’s just a song! It’s not like she’s a frigging news reader saying what she thinks on live television.It’s people like you that should burn in hell for being such a skeptic!!!
Okay. Personally I am a big fan of Katy Perry, and I am sorry if you don’t like her. First of all, who DOESN’T crowd surf at a concert? The last concert I went to the singer for Phantom Planet did, even fans do it. And yes, she may have been a religious singer, but that was when she was 17, not even an adult yet. After that she found a Queen CD and they became her major influence. People have the right to change their minds, especially when they are 17 and their parents still have a good hold on what their religious beliefs are. Just because she sang Christian songs, doesn’t mean she can’t change her mind and think that being gay is okay enough to sing about it. Ever thought that just because her father doesn’t think people can be gay, she doesn’t have to? She has as much right to sing about it as anyone else. Next, who CARES if she said she wanted to kiss the little 15 year old. She probably meant it in a “oh, you are so cute” kind of way, not a lick off your face kind of way. And finally, you are annoyed that she stole someone’s style. But hell, no one is original these days. At least if you listen to all of her songs, they each sound different, rather than this rap that is invading our radios. She isn’t the only person that dresses like that. Songs are classified into genres, or styles, of their own. Saying she stole someone’s style is like saying “oh! Panic At The Disco stole Fall Out Boy’s ’style’”. So get over it, just because you don’t like a style of music, doesn’t mean you have to slam it down.
I actually believe that people should stop making their own decisions, ESPECIALLY if you are a teen. Teens should respect their parents’ decisions and follow in their footsteps. Your parents obviously have been around the block once or try and know what is good for you. Fuck’s sake! Jesus Christ…
Having more experience has absolutely NOTHING to do with religious faith. Religious faith is about believing in something without proof, and no amount of experience can prove one better over the other. Maybe parents should decide for their kid whether they should go to a party where they know there will be beer or not, and whether they should do homework rather than chat on AIM. A parent only chooses a religion for their child when they are young because they can’t for themselves. When they get into their teens, it should be up to them what religion they believe in. Katy Perry can change her religion if she likes, and besides all of that sh*t, just because she doesn’t listen to her parents doesn’t mean she sucks at singing.
She’s a poser. Yeah. I said it. And I meant it.
And proof… her boyfriend, some dude from another band that isn’t really that good (what gym class heroes?), said that this little stunt below, was just that, a stunt. It was staged.
BULLSHITT!! Don’t you have anything else to do then burning Katy The Best Perry!??! I think that you’re just a jalous bastard!! Go and make your own carreer! Katy Perry Rocks! And she’ll keep on rocking! (Even if she would be dead!)
LOVEHER!!
Love,
