Why are the lighting folks considered the end of the food chain? I protest! Vidiots are far further down than us.

But she writes a mean hook (I can't stop singing "I do not hook up", and, you know, the whole "OMG WHAT A FAME WHORE!" stuff - aren't they ALL? She's fulfilling her duty as a major labor pop star, and doing it professionally. She gets attention, but she has not done anything truly assinine.
I believe her when she says she's for gay rights - she comes from a very right wing background, and I'll bet all the discussion and backlash against her songs has been very eye-opening.
Just... there's so much love and defense of Britney Spears(as an example), of all people, around here. Who, from things she's said to things she does, makes me wince. Pity her, yes, but wince. She's an unimpressive mess, she leans very conservative, and she's stuck in her own neurotic head, no matter what the cause.
And Katy Perry gets RIPPED APART, despite having sinned far less. Why is that, seriously? She's said many things I agree with, and she's not a stupid chicky.
So: Team Katy. If only because I don't get the *LEVEL* of bile.

No. All of Britney Spear's bad behavior can not be dismissed as "mental disorder". I am judging her character, not her mental state. Her history in the spotlight is long, and her breakdowns do not a whole woman make. She is more complicated than that by far, and I'm not impressed by much of who she's been. Yes, I think they're different, character and mental state. And I think both point to Ms. Spears knowing very little about who she is, nor ever having a chance to figure it out. However, she came out in support gay marriage, and I'm impressed - sounds like she's growing up.
Katy Perry is also complicated, and yes, she wrote two songs that referred to gay culture in a very offhand, teenager-ry way that's immature and shallow. But I believe her when she says she is dedicated to gay rights, and if starting with those silly songs and then going deeper into the issue with her fans makes some young people think harder, she's done something. She is 24 years old - she has a lot of growing up to do.
These are very young women. They are very famous. Their lives are messy. They're often jerks. Like I said, my issue is with the level of loathing, and the scattershot application of it.

Ez true, but Katy Perry wrote it! [www.popcrunch.com]
I read it elsewhere, some interview with Kelly Clarkson where she said it was dropped from Perry's album because it didn't fit the flirtier, sexier feel, so she was happy to pick it up. (EW, maybes?)
But I think it shows that much of what she's presenting is a pop persona!
(And quick note to Evie Havok, sorry if my response is more confrontational than necessary, I'm in a mood tonight, which is no excuse)

I think all real etiquette experts agree that it is better to be polite and charming than to know which fork is the shrimp fork.

I can't follow this stuff anymore, I guess.

Sorry, but that song pisses me off something fierce.

It is just that is the only line of "You're So Gay" that I actually know.
