KillerMonster 2,360 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think they were being to harsh. What if she loves the style of music she creates? People need to stop comparing and actually listen to the music. Don’t play with me, it just hurts me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brecht 7 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I mean did anyone expect it to be good? Her albums were always just good boos to listen to while doing your nails, I don’t think anyone expects it to have any substance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I wasn't expecting this album to be critically acclaimed or something but this time they outdid themselves. Maybe it's just me but this doesn't seem to be about just the music anymore. "So “Smile” is something of a housekeeping album. Apologies to everyone — parents, fans, lovers, other women, old lovers. Here’s hoping motherhood gives Perry a real reason to smile" https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-ent-katy-perry-smile-review-20200824-6hctqs3ddbap3itckpzlag7epi-story.html Totally. This paragraph, comparing her to all these other women, is so archaic in 2020. Nobody would write a similar paragraph about a male singer. She's being critiqued as a 'female celebrity' compared to other females, hardly anything in the review is about the actual music. Other reviews spend fully 3/4 of their length documenting her previous successes to muse about why she isn't popular anymore. Stop reviewing her trajectory or career as a celebrity, and review the music! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitana 1,781 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 if i hadnt seen this i never wouldve guessed that her previous albums had such low ratings and i mean those were pop culture gems so what do they know? You will learn respect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawless 2,092 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 When ARTPOP came out the reviews were so much worse....I wish that back then people would have so much energy to defend and support Gaga like they've been supporting Katy. Good luck to her, she seems like a good person and she's always delivering content for her fans. Hope she finds peace and balance to her work. the scars on my mind are on replay.

Quartz 11,923 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Smile wasn't a good song, objectively. I commend her efforts, but I am not surprised. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 72,861 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Damn, I really wanted it to be different this time. Still, those three scores (60,60,67) alone make this her highest rated album to date chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromaticRaccoon 1,761 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Katy has never done well with critics. That didn't stop TD and Prism from being MASSIVE, who cares what they think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
