Thomas P 18,479 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I want to preface this by saying that I have been someone who has been unnecessarily harsh on her. A lot of this stems from complete and utter immaturity brought on by a mix of my age and stan culture. I’m 19 now (hardly old enough to say much about immaturity ) so I want to apologize on behalf of of my stupid 15/16 year old self to Katy for any disrespectful things I may have said about her on this site. Katy has truly been a force of nature in my life. I have been a huge fan of hers since I heard California Girls for the first time, and have enjoyed her presence in pop culture just as much as I’ve enjoyed that of artists like Rihanna, Taylor and even at certain points, Gaga. She was one of my favourite singers when I was younger, and I used to record episodes of American idol or Ellen that she was on for the sole purpose of being able to repeatedly watch them. I was in Grade 7 during the Prism/ARTPOP eras so I was never really aware of the competition between her and Gaga made by the fans, so I stanned her pretty hard in that era too. I’ve rewatched her Super Bowl performance almost as many times as Gaga’s, and for a long time I was really excited for her new era. During the pre-Witness era, I was at the peak of making snarky comments solely because it lined up with Gaga-mania in the form of the Super Bowl. I was feeling stupidly competitive, when in reality the success of my favourite artist, and that of artists I may not love the same amount, has no actual effect on my life. When CTTR came out, I got back into the praising Katy mood because I really liked the song, but as soon as Bon Appetite came out, I was back to being rude (mind you, I still hate that song and video, and stand by any criticism I may have given ). When Witness came out, I really liked the album, and I said so on this site plenty of times. Within a month, I stopped liking the album as much (I’m still not the biggest fan of it), and she once again became a poking stick for jokes I would make, and I feel bad about that. I only really started regretting this stuff last year when NRO came out, because that song reminded me of exactly why I love this woman. From then on, I decided to be nice, even when she released music I didn’t like. So to end this nonsensical, all over the place rant, I would just like to say how excited I am for KP5, especially after how much I love Daisies. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobina 2,011 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've always been into her music, she makes great bops. I remember I had just learned to drive when I heard IKAG and was so shook and followed her career ever since. Its just her personality that really puts me off sometimes. "634 blowjobs in 5 days. I'm really quite tired." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candy Gaga 5,374 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I like her She seemed to mature and in recent years she's been very supportive of Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCF29 8,181 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I appreciate her support of Gaga and do feel slightly guilty for teasing her about Daisies, but I'm not a fan of her on American Idol (not really a fan of any of the judges tbh, always make everything about them), and her latest string of singles seems to have all the makings of an artist fading from relevancy fast. I wish her the best with her pregnancy and raising a family, and I actually think it's best if she takes some time off to focus on that and then returns in 3-4 years when the GP is ready for her... she just needs a break methinks Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyaway 15,350 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 She's undoubtedly talented. She's a composer and knows how to give a show. But I feel she's very constricted as an artist. I haven't seen a particular goal that she has in mind besides making hits. So that kind of keeps her in her comfort zone and doesn't allow her to grow artistically. But she's nice. Hope she reinvents herself at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangTheGong 310 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I loved KP’s Teenage Dream album. Can’t really say I’ve ever been a huge fan. Her most recent releases are bops but unfortunately they aren’t performing well. I dunno though, I just re-read about her assault allegations again the other day (pulling down the Teenage Dream’s actors pants to fully expose himself to her gay friends) and I can’t shake that right now. Seems like it took a toll on that dudes life according to his insta. I do hope she’s learned from all that and did some deep introspection. Hopefully I’ll get over this before her release so I can enjoy KP5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 48,905 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 She literally has my fav discography (for singles) of any artist and she's my favorite for music videos as well (along with Britney Spears) I definitely love Katy and think she got too much unjustified hate tbh While I'm a bigger Gaga Stan and think Gaga is on a higher level artistically and a better artist in terms of the overall package, and the talent and versatility she offers... There are aspects of Katy i prefer over Gaga. I enjoy hearing her catchy singles with great visuals and easy going relatable subject matter. Gaga is more hit and miss for me in that aspect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee 1,790 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Every time I see Katy mentioned in a thread its something negative so this is a lovely change to that If the rest of the g*ys would catch up and stop hating on successful women for no reason that would be grand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHM 145 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 She released Never Worn White one week after Gaga's release of Stupid Love; She released Daisies one week before Gaga released Chromatica. To be clear, at both times, Gaga announced the release date first. She thought she could recreate Roar versus Applause or Prism versus ARTPOP. She uses Gaga's music promotion time after time. I'm sorry. I won't forgive this woman no matter what anyone says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 154,047 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 If she did more CTTR's I'd stan her hard honestly. 🧡The blindfold's off my eyes, all I see for me is better days🧡 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erotic4 557 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 For me she's just good, but lacks something. Love her hits, and I would love to have seen her doing what she planned with NRO. I was living for the songs she was delivering... the new sound was more mature and I was rooting, but somehow everything's a mess right now, everyday a new lead single... so I'm waiting to listen to the new album. ps: sorry bout my English https://www.last.fm/pt/user/erotic4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
