I was just asking. They are bops and but I prefer Chained to the Rhythm

Same

 

CTTR is a solid 8.5/10 for me

Bon Appetit 7/10

Swish Swish maybe 6/10 I like it somewhat but definitely at the bottom of her singles discography

 

My ratings for her singles:

 

Kissed a girl: 8/10

Hot n Cold: 7.5/10

California Gurls: 6.5/10

Teenage Dream: 7.5/10

Firework: 7/10

ET: 7.5/10

Roar: 8/10

Unconditionally: 7/10

Dark Horse: 8.5/10

TGIF: 7/10

Wide Awake: 8/10

The One That Got Away: 9/10

Birthday: 6/10

This Is How We Do: 7/10

Part Of Me: 8/10

Chained To The Rythem: 8.5/10

Bon Appetit: 7/10

Swish Swish: 6/10

 

Some of the singles may not be in order of release cuz I don't remember the exact order of them all but I tried :sweat:

 

I also know she had a single release after hot n Cold but I can't remember what it was. Was it wake up in Vegas? If so I don't remember what it sounds like tbh

 

My absolute fav single from Katy Perry is the one that got away.

 

Other singles/tracks I love a lot are: Dark Horse, Who Am I Living For, Pearl

Yes, its called Waking Up in Vegas! I love this song too, but it was actually the 4th single from her debut album. She released "Thinking of You" as the 3rd single, but it underperformed, but its one of my favorite Katy Perry songs! I'm actually surprised you don't know Waking Up in Vegas very well, it did very well in Canada! It peaked at #2!

I didn't start to follow mainstream music and charts until Gaga exploded late 2008

 

I only know her hits before that "kissed a girl" and "hot and cold" cuz they remained relevant years later and when I got into Katy I remembered them but I wasn't following Katy or top 40 during her debut album that's probably why I forgot her 3rd and 4th single

 

Everything from California Gurls onward I followed tho and as I said, I love pretty much every one of her singles and videos

 

She may not be deeply artistic to Gaga's level but in terms of just making enjoyable music and videos to whatch few have her beat in my books tbh

 

And contrary to what many on this site say, I don't think generic means talentless or bad automatically. We need generic artists too not just complicated ones. Not every song or album has to be so deep and serious all the time. Sometimes I just wanna listen to a bop and not have to think too hard on its meaning tbh

I’m sorry but I don’t consider Chained to the Rhythm a hit, or any Katy song actually

I’m sorry but you’re completely delusional considering the fact Katy had bigger hits than Gaga.. And yea if you think you’re cool or cute by stating this nonsense- guess what? You’re not...... :interestinga:

Just to play DA for the sake of a counterpoint to ponder … the re-evaluation of the American Dream at the root of the song feels political … the narrative also reflects a lyrical exploration of the modern american political economy through the lens of fame as a means, medium, or platform (top level wiki one-liner for the sake of due diligent reference: “political economy: the study of production and trade and their relations with law, custom and government; and with the distribution of national income and wealth. As a discipline, political economy originated in moral philosophy …” ). Effectually, the expression of fame through the song underscores the mutual inclusivity … or, at least, the oddly specific bedfellowship (if that’s even a word) between the prestige, direct proximity to public access and consideration, prominence of fame, and the influence over social dynamics, institutional governance (albeit abstract but still), and distribution / exercise of power that encompasses or underscores politics … a first-personal take on the contemporary political

TL; DR: the song seems to explore fame in a way that expresses its mutual inclusivity with politics (at least from an American-Dream-as-political-instrument perspective … and fame here being the new American dream)

… but tbh, that’s just my two cents on the rhyme

Yeah, I dunno, I don't really see it that way because it only talks about M's personal relationship with her own fame, it's too introspective to be political, it doesn't really go anywhere outside her own world.

That‘s valid, I can definitely see that … I think my pov contextualizes this one in the frame of the individual as a kind of personification of the whole, so Madonna’s immediate representation of fame is the personification of the concept or role of “celebrity” as a whole … and individual exceptionalism also just registers as a signpost american ideal … maybe just a case of the personal as the political on this one; but I completely see your point

variety is the spice of life
