Pop Music 20,540 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Being apart of Katy's hugely successful Teenage Dream album and making up #3 of her 5 number 1's from this album, but is the song too cringey to have made it so high. Is it inspirational or too cheesy for its own good. Spoiler this is not a hate thread toward Katy whatsoever because I actually enjoy firework but I am just curious to everyones thoughts on the song Bonus: My favorite performance of this song http://www.cc.com/video-clips/43sq4x/best-moments-of-2012---katy-perry-and-jodi-dipiazza-sing--firework- Pop Music and Lady Gaga forever!

Venus Rose 5,638 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Wasn't Katy's entire brand TD era "Inspirational/cheesy" though? Like, Part Of Me is both, Teenage Dream is cheesy, ET is cheesy, CG is cheesy, you know? And those are some of her biggest hits. So, no, it's good. Timeless hit.

guyzplzstaph 172 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I seriously hate this song, for me personally her voice sounds awful in the chorus, as she was just screaming. Not that I think she can't sing, but that song is not for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,611 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The pop landscape at the time was extremely into this "believe in yourself, my fans!" messaging In addition to the cheesy, self-celebratory message of Firework, we also had Born This Way, and We R Who We R by Kesha dominating the charts at the time with similar messages. Personally, I credit Gaga hyping up Born This Way throughout 2010 for influencing their single choices and radio play My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOK 76,406 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I love it, but what's not good is when she sings it live... This particular performance will forever be stuck in my head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatica 13,681 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes fireworks are bad, don't start one on your own you might get hurt I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No. It was good for the time it came out. I think it's aged a bit now and it only seems to be recognised for that plastic bag line. As more time goes on the more that line stands out as super cringy.
