elijahfan 24,920 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 As soon as she steps out of the funny girl persona, it seems like people can't take her seriously. I sure can't. The One That Got Away is my favorite song and video of hers, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop 4,541 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 She flops on everything nowadays. Birthday and This Is How We Do weren't ballands and there were back-to-back flops. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm honestly surprised because the songs mentioned are some of her best, and were given beautiful music videos, AND released! I guess maybe the time and place were wrong, or the competition with other songs at the time I hope her and her team don't give up on her slower songs though, because they're some of her highlights :flutter: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino 12 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Gp people still see her as miss whipped cream candy tits, and coming from someone with that image a serious, slower song just isn't what they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Oyster 1,886 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 idk, perhaps because it's difficult to sing like she sings it? try it haha I mean, most ballads you can at least pretend you sing like the song, and therefore like the song more, but with this one (Thinking Of You) it becomes weird... from 01:28 specially Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I guess its because radios just don't benifit from spinning ballads. Stay With me, All of Me, Someone Like You, Thinking Out Loud, Stay, When I was Your Man, etc. disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo cupcakke 4,781 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 She makes some okay ballads but By the Grace of God is a terrible ballad. If Gaga were to have recorded it, I'd think the same With that said, she should release either Walking on Air or Legendary Lovers and stray away from releasing BTGOG. It is just so tacky and cliché but then again most successful ballads are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 533 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 'Thinking of You' is her best song but 'Uncontionally' is terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang 2,262 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Stay With me, All of Me, Someone Like You, Thinking Out Loud, Stay, When I was Your Man, etc. disagree.Now compare the ratio with dance/pop songs, of course some exceptions are due to happen. But it all depends on the demand eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all depends on the demand eventually. You said radio doesn't benefit from ballads, and that isn't true. If it is the right ballad, by the right person, listeners eat it up. Katy just isn't that person and she hasn't had ballads the quality of the ones I listed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMTT 160 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Because her ballads are dull and boring mess. ACTUALLY, her ballads are some of her best songs. Thinking Of You, Lost, I'm Still Breathing, Who Am I Living For, Not Like The Movies, Unconditionally, Double Rainbow, By The Grace Of God.... all really great songs :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,101 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm actually surprised too. Especially with Uncle's underperformance- I literally thought it was gonna smash cause it was Katy season at the time. Plus it's a decent song minus a bland-ish chorus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
