Katy Perry to push boundaries in the future; says 'fame is disgusting'

If she is so called trying to show off her variety in music from prism, then why does she keep releasing the most basic, Radio friendly songs from the album? I'm going to give Katy the benefit of the doubt but so far every thing she has said in this interview is hypocritical. If you're not about fame or topping the charts or making the same music all the time, then do what gaga did and stand up to your label and make the kind of music you want to make. I don't see her doing that or moving in that direction at all.

Who doesn't release the most basic, radio friendly songs from their albums? That's essentially the point. Singles are supposed to have airplay and if they aren't radio friendly, they won't get any. That's why Gaga releases songs like Bad Romance, The Edge Of Glory and Do What U Want. I don't see her making Teeth, Bloody Mary or Government Hooker singles. Judas was incidental, I believe she expected the sonic similarity to Bad Romance to make it a hit over its lyrics.

Since when did Gaga stand up to her label to make the kind of music she wanted to make? I'm pretty sure Interscope has enough confidence in her as an artist not to restrict her too much. She once said that her record label fully supports her decisions. This wasn't even a year ago. Interscope clearly supports her releasing a jazz album, as a more stripped down sound showcases maturity and equates success in broadening the demographic of her listeners. In essence, it's a side album, as she's collaborating with Tony Bennett.

Show me when Gaga goes against her label by going in a stabilized and long term direction with a genre that doesn't top the Billboard charts, such as heavy metal (which she grew up with). Until then, don't compare her to Katy in that respect. They both create pop music and haven't drifted far from the genre; Katy has her pop rock OOTB and Gaga has her jazzy C2C, but neither are long term commitments.

This is basically what Gaga said this era and yet you're calling her out

 

Also interesting to see that these comments are exactly what Gaga haters use to discredit her

"Katy + guitar = flawless masterpiece." great joke.

[Yves 1,891]

She'd like to experiment musically in the future.

 

She's not into fame.

 

She wants to still be doing this at Madonna's age.

 

She's not completely obsessed with topping the charts.

 

1. She better. Stop collaborating with Dr. Luke and deliver us songs that have sense, not just ear-candy songs.

2. *No Comment*

3. I would love to see this (but if she keeps on those senseless ear-candy songs then no).

4. Why would you continue to collaborate with Dr. Luke & Max Martin with MANY songs? A few songs might do, right?

While I doubt anything groundbreaking is going to happen is it really necessary to drag her for 12+ pages?

You talk like she has the choice for all those things. 

 

The thing is : she doesn't

Yeah, sure ... *sarcastic look*

I mean come on - her quotes read like Gaga quotes. Gaga is different personalities, but Katy has a certain image ...
