I am not afraid to say that I am a big fan of Katy Perry. I hate mainstream pop music like everyone else. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Once in a while, a very talented pop artist will come around and Katy is one of them. I enjoy Lady Gaga and next, I fall in love with Katy Perry’s music. I mostly listen to rock, metal, and progressive music…but sometimes I need to listen to other genres to shake things up a bit. Get in a different mood ’cause you don’t want to be listening to loud guitars all the time. Whenever I get tired of listening to guitar rock for the day, I will listen to something else. I’ll either listen to pop, rap, and country. I’ll even listen to blues, jazz and classical sometimes.

I listened to Katy Perry’s new album “Teenage Dream” in the facebook listening party today. I was pretty impressed with it. There is something about Katy’s music that draws you in. She’s got a singing voice that is much different than other pop singers out there. She sings like a rock singer almost. She doesn’t sing like Celine Dion or Mariah Carey with a powerful voice, that’s not Katy. Katy sounds like herself. She maybe pop but she is definitely a rock artist in some unique way. She has great stage presence and a great look. The way she moves and performs on stage is awesome. This woman has personality and is more human than most fake pop stars out there. She plays with an actual band and not with some electronica bullshit.

Would I buy her music? Yes! Would I see her live in concert? YES!

She’s a talented artist and a talented songwriter. She is the Beach Boys of this generation, fact. The hell with Celine Dion. The hell with Mariah Cary. The hell with Rihanna, Pink, Britney Spears and all those worthless talent. It’s all about Katy Perry, man! She’s the true pop star with real talent!
