Andrew 375 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's sad that she's clearly not okay, but she needs to grow some thicker skin. Not every song is going to be a hit, she was lucky enough during the Teenage Dream/Prism era to have hit after hit. She seems really quite arrogant in recent interviews just expecting her songs to shoot up the charts just because her name is attached to it. And just because your song hasn't been received well doesn't mean you need to take it so badly, this makes me question her artistic integrity. If she as a musician believed in the song and the direction she's going in, she wouldn't give a toss about the backlash. Did we see a Gaga breakdown because Perfect Illusion didn't perform as well as expected? No, she continued with the JOANNE project because it was something she clearly believed in. I've liked Katy in the past, but she's gotten very greedy and arrogant. Hopefully this will bring her back down a bit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donutellha 13,819 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The issue that I have is that she is not mature enough to comprehend that her song isnt on the radio the DAY ITS RELEASED. She needs someone to help her and tell her that a song can take time to chart, especially when your career is on a rocky point. One song is not going to go exponentially viral the day it's released, and she needs to wake up. Best of luck to her though. Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's okay. You just had 10 donuts today. Without frosting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've liked Katy in the past, but she's gotten very greedy and arrogant. Hopefully this will bring her back down a bit! I know what you mean. When she did a radio interview with Ed Sheeran, she gave him the finger and said all sarcastically: "Thanks for keeping me off the #1 spot, babes!" The weird thing was, what she said made no sense. CTTR peaked at #5 in the UK, it never even went to #1 on itunes whereas Ed went straight to #1 with SOY and didn't budge for weeks, while Katy either remained stable or dropped. You can only accuse someone of keeping you off the top spot if you were #2 and they were #1, but she was never even close. Like you said, it's like she arrogantly expects it. I mean, all her lead singles went to #1 in the UK, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's how she thought things would pan out and thought she'd have no competition. But like I said before, this is the first time she's ever experienced a bad start to an era. If you've never experienced something, you don't know what your reaction is going to be. Sometimes, it's an acceptable one, other times, not so acceptable. Some people react to underperformance by trying to look on the bright side, others become arrogant and angry. Right now, Katy's in the latter, with a good dose of feeling sad mixed in. Complicated emotions over something she's never experienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fahs 183 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Love how people keep saying Katy needs to grow thicker skin for crying. There is no shame in crying and dealing with your emotions. In fact, it's healthy and Gaga does lots of it. I think Katy's in a bad place with her record label. Katy's success is based merely on sugary pop songs that the general public happily devours. She clearly wanted something different with this era. Something more meaningful - which is what she said when CTTR came out. I highly doubt Katy wanted Bon Appetite as a second single. I think she was pressured into it by her label to have a hit and promote a successful album. It's not easy changing genres and doing what you want freely, let alone be successful at it. Many artists (including MJ, Mariah and Britney) suffered the same thing in the past. At the end of the day, most record companies want to cash in from albums, and artists get to be stuck with what the CEO's want because of contractual agreements, money, etc... I hope she can bounce back. Bon Appetite is disappointing and she can do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems to be in a weird place right now. The constantly changing hairstyles seem to just be the beginning. I think she's really struggling with her breakup and how her music is underperforming so far and isn't getting the most amazing reception. As much as I have my issues with her, if she really is struggling emotionally, I do have basic human compassion even so. Katy has said before how she wants big success, she made that very clear in the Forbes interview. So, if she underperforms, it's going to crush her. We have to remember that she's never experienced an underperforming moment so early into an era. Prism was already huge when its singles started flopping, so it cushioned the blow. But she's never suffered this kinda backlash before. In fact, she doesn't know what it's like to experience a lead single that failed to reach #1, like CTTR did. When all you've known is success up until a low point, it stands to reason that you might struggle to deal with it when it does happen. Mariah had her meltdown when she experienced her first flop album because she didn't know how to deal with bad sales and bad reception. If it can happen to legends, it can happen to anyone. I think the fact that Katy used under-hand tactics to succeed over Gaga during the Prism vs. AP era is what turned a lot of people against her. I know that's the case for me. Yeah, I was always fairly bitter because she had success where Gaga couldn't but she was always a guilty pleasure for me simultaneously and I even own the TD album. But with Prism, it became a different ball game and it put me off her. But if she really is going through problems, that changes things in my perception of her as a person anyway. Absolutely, and I think that's logical reasoning. However, the justification that the other user had for his hatred of Katy was weak and irrational for the sake of being so, no offense. There are perfectly fine reasons for disliking Katy, but I found his reasoning to be little more than a thrown together excuse for disrespect. At least be honest.

Guest Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 May I tell something? I think some of you are really hypocrites, since when Gaga pulls off something you don't like you don't like you bash it no matter what. Now with KP some of these same people pretend the others to be kind with her. I think the kindess you preach is really fake, sorry,and I think this is worse than stating (without offending) your real opinion. Ofcourse I refer only to few people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
