Congrats, this belongs to the Katy thread or another Katy forum, so Haroon should merge it.

Super Bowl doesn't really count, she payed to be on it. All the other artists were hired. 

she did not paid. Even Forbes and Billboard reported about how Katy did not paid and NFL itself hired her.

Despite what you all might say, KP has been working hard to deliver better performances and better music. You might not like it, but the truth is that her+her team are consistent in their efforts of making her a huge popstar, which wasn't so easy to achieve when you watch videos from the OOTB era.

Does she deserve to be so big when she obviously doesn't have 1/4 of Gaga's talent ? Of course it's frustrating for us to see a real artist overshadowed by the superproduction that Katy is, but let's face it, her team knows how to get the **** together from start to finish. And that's without a doubt what Gaga has been lacking since the middle of the BTW era.

Good for her but I don't like that she stays in her childs ideas

[RAMROD 104,841]

I agree, it is amazing how she goes from honey dews to water melons, wow

Prism saw a 50% decline in sales compared to TD .. Only 2/5 singles were successful. Prism Tour  is not impressive at all... Thats what the California Dream Tour should have done but it flopped even after 6 #1's

 

her formula is stale and she will flop next era

I like her but in her first album she was so original and different. And now her music and image is childish...

I'm hoping Bobby Campbell and the rest of her team can do that.

I won't be surprised if they do though.  C2C and pretty much everything that happened in 2015 for Gaga has been amazing.

Everyone in the music industry has done something impressive, including Carly Rae having such a huge WW smash - Call me maybe.

It's Dr. Luke success.. every singer could sing her songs and make them successful..

[Creyk 17,166]

It's nice that she keeps growing. What I like about Katy is that she actually is really smart....and knows what kind of music to make, she always delivers musically. I am very excited to hear what she does next, because she recognized that she needs to change up her style a bit...and I am sure she is going to do it in a very well-executed way with her next era

And still not iconic status or a legendary performance. 

See how it ended for rihanna? THE SECOND radio stopped to support her, she totally disappeared. The same would (will?) happen with Katy.

...how about u take some chill pill and mind ur own foking business...

No lies detected 

But I am amazed at some people in this thread thinking that she is a manufactured puppet, when it couldn't be farther from the truth. 

She's a product that is well marketed.

 

It has nothing to do with her singing ability though or performance ability, it's completely down to PR nothing more or less, she has perfectly generic crafted hits from Dr Puke, her image is manufactured to make her look like a generic s-xy popstar and her PR staff book her the best possible gigs.

She's a label puppet through and through, yes she may be a wonderful person but when it comes to her career it's completely false post-OOTB era

Katy is NOT a product. She is marketed, but she is far from a record label's puppet. As I've said many times before, Katy is in complete control of her career, image, and music in all aspects and directions. She is the boss and the CEO in her team and career, and she drives the ship. She makes all the decisions about her songs, albums, photoshoots, music videos, art direction, choreography, outfits, hairstyles, tours, performances/stage shows, etc. They are all from her own brain and vision. She writes all her own songs (lyrics and melodies), and sometimes even composes parts of instrumental of some of her songs (although for most of her songs, they're done by producers, which is why they get songwriting credits, and for a few songs, they're done by one or two songwriters, too). She comes up with the concept for all her songs on her own months before writing them. Her songs resonate with/are about her life, experiences, feelings, and personality. Katy tells her producers specifically how her tracks should sound like, be produced, mixed, arranged, and how they shouldn't sound like, be produced, mixed, and arranged. The lyricists who Katy has worked with on twelve of her songs (one per each song), have said that writing her is TRUE co-writing and how Katy comes up with majority of ideas for her songs and is the dominant person during the process. Even Capitol's CEO has said that Katy is the brains of her own operation, and last year, Katy founded & established her own record company. Katy definitely has really worked hard to get to where she is.

All the things I said were told by producers, songwriters, managers, music industry insiders, directors, assistances, tour crew members, dancers, designers, and stylists who have worked with her, so I'm not being delusional or making up anything. And before starting and saying things like; "it's all for marketing and crafting her image!11!!" you don't see insiders saying things like this about say, Britney, do you? So what makes you think that Katy is an exception?
