Katy Perry is very well known for her pop/ techno music sensations. Teenagers are most appealed to her music because her songs are fun and very catchy. Often people notice that her songs get stuck in their head and the point is so that people will keep listening to them and then eventually buy them. Also, after a while her songs may seem sickening and to the point where they get annoying. Critics say that when people listen to her songs that it often brings back relatable memories, which make them, buy her songs more especially when her songs can apply to something that has happened to them before. She has had many hits that have come about in the last few years. One of them is “I Kissed a Girl” released on her album “One of Those Boys” in 2008. There were many people talking about this number in both a positive and negative way. People that were positive about it thought it was catchy, that she was just being honest and trying to have fun while singing her new song. Other opinions about it that are negative consist of people who go out and expose themselves and try these things which aren’t necessarily appropriate. Another song by Katy Perry that just came out this year, 2011, called “E.T.” standing for extraterrestrial. It has become a very popular song directed towards teenagers about being in love. It is a fun and outgoing song that would be a great pick for playing at a party. However, parents have been complaining about how there is extreme sexual references in the song that they don’t want their children exposed too. Even though kids may not think about the song as being sexual there are still references that make people skeptical. Overall, I think that Katy Perry is worth money and that her songs are the life of the party.
