Witness is messy and reputation is fantastic. 

I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

I'm not a fan of either of them but I have listened to both their albums and I liked Reputation way better. Yes, the lyrics are cringe-worthy but songs like Getaway Car, I Did Something Bad, Don't Blame Me, Ready For It, Delicate, etc. pretty much the whole album is catchy as hell. It does have its ups and downs but it's a nice album if you want to listen to something mainstream.

I listened to Witness and I thought it was a step up from her past work. I have ALWAYS disliked cheesy Katy Perry songs like Roar, Birthday, Last Friday Night, Peacock, This Is How We Do, etc. but she has released songs that were my guilty pleasure like The One That Got Away, Dark Horse, ET and Teenage Dream. This time with Witness I liked Chained To The Rhythm and listened to the album a couple of times but I got super bored and doesn't really have that many interesting songs, maybe Tsunami but still, you HAVE to be a Katy Perry fan or force yourself to like it because if I were trying new music I'd pass on it. I like that she's being "experimental" for someone like her but you can tell Dr. Luke was the mastermind behind her hits.

As for Taylor's past work, I started listening to her around the time Shake It Off was everywhere. Blank Space and Style caught my attention and I really liked those songs. Other than that, I haven't listened to the rest of her discography.

Reputation. Katy Perry just isn't Katy Perry without Bonnie McKee. In my opinion Katy Perry just isn't a very talented songwriter/ musician. Witness was underwhelming. I don't think she'll bounce back from this album. Taylor Swift on the other hand...

The majority of Witness is absolutely horrible.  The only good songs are Bon Appetit, Swish Swish,  and maybe Roulette.  

The only song I don't think is great on Reputation is End Game.  It's good but not great like the rest of the songs.  Reputation is in my top five of the year.

Both are mess but I liked Witness more for Katy's different path, she's trying something new and being experimental :lolly:

I can tell that half of the Rep tracks are mostly fillers. Theres like 5 songs are great but the rest is just meh :awkney:

Y'all don't know that all of Taylor's lead single has a repetitive chorus.

Taylor using a metaphor for Gatsby is by far better than every song in Witness combined:

"I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy" 

Or may be: "Burton to this Taylor" - Reference herself as Elizabeth Taylor (Whom has a very complicated love-life too, and the press was just all bout' her life not het career)

Her wordplay is phenomenal.

Don't drag witness by its worst lyric sis :rip: also one of the worst songs on the album.

The lyrics on Power are better

I am my mother’s daughter
And there are so many things I love about her
But I have, I have to break the cycle
So I can sit first at the dinner table

How is this any better than Hey Hey Hey :air: it's like she just writing for the rhymes. I literally don't understand any of those lyrics.

The lyrics on Witness is just....Bad... And Power's production is way way way too loud, it's annoying. The only songs i enjoy are: Chained,Bon Appétit and Save As Drafts.

They're not that bad tbh. Also Witness is more interesting production wise, is about as good as Reputation lyrically (except they're not all the same)

interesting -/- quality. I appreciate the fact that Katy's taking a new step in music, but sadly she failed.

'reputation' definitely has more listen-able productions.

YALL ARE CRAZY.  WITNESS IS TRASH.  TRASH TRASH AND I LOVE KATY.  Reputation is a masterpiece that doesn’t have one bad song.   Weakest:NYD but I still like it.  I cannot even listen to witness. Bye.
