Members Adam Posted April 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just to add, until the late 90's a song needed a physical release to be charted on the Hot 100. As a result you had many huge radio hits that never could chart on the Hot 100. But I agree with your assessment. Comparing eras is kind of futile. I will say, E.T. is probably Katy's deepest single to date.... well deep for her I guess. I kind of like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Katy's E.T. kinda reminds me of t.A.T.u's All the Things she Said. ETA: I LOVEEEE S&M. Edited April 2, 2011 by WTGH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Billboard has a blurb on it. I'm not a Katy fan, but when you consider the only other album in the last decade to achieve 4 #1 hits off it was Usher's 2004 Confessions album and most of the albums that have achieved this feat achieved it during the 1987-1991 era, it does look impressive. These days, singles from an album don't tend to peak as high after the third single. http://www.billboard.com/#/column/chartbeat/weekly-chart-notes-katy-perry-jennifer-lopez-1005106502.story?page=1 Edited April 2, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yes, and just to add the US physical market only fizzled out around 2001-2002 or so. The US was actually ahead of the world for years when it came to download consumption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Sounds like something a one-hit wonder German 90's dance act would do. Way too busy, not really that fun, but I'm sure the deluded segment of monsters and gays will eat it up as if it's never been done before.

Members Soapsuds Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 The problem with Lady Gaga's music is that it grows old real fast. I've liked most of the songs she has come out with but I've lost interest in them already. Where as Rihanna....I cant get enough of Only Girl in the World...it doesnt get old for me...and neither does S & M. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 16, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 16, 2011 I like it better than "B.T.W" but not enough to put it on my ipod. So far, I've been underwhelmed by the first two singles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 The overall beat structure of the song is really strong and the chorus is definately the best part. Very Bad Romance-esque, but yeah... not as strong as I was hoping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 Listening to it as I type....it reminds me of Japanese pop....with hints of "Bad Romance" of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted April 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 In the cultural sense she does speak in future tense..... But yeah... everytime I look at it it reminds me of the song "Born To Be Wild" as it is considered to be a biker song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
