My New Guilty Pleasure - Katy Perry Hot N Cold

I'm gonna get stoned for this but after about 2 years of listening to nothing
but alternative rock, this was a breath of fresh air for me.

Heard this song the day I moved my daughter into her dorm room for her
senior year at Seton Hall. I was standing outside of my car with my wife
waiting for her to get back to us to let us know just how far we'd have to
walk from the car (parking lots were all closed) to move her stuff in.

And then, from the car parked right next to us, this song came blasting out
of the radio and I was smiling from ear to ear.

Yes, it's totally produced by the machine that makes pop music with its
carefully contrived lyrics, drum beat and overly commercial melody.

And I loved every second of it.

My new guilty pleasure.

Katy Perry - Hot N Cold


Let the stoning begin.

    Yes, that is a great song. I don't like much of today's music, but that one is really catchy.

    Here is another one you might like...

    Hot N Cold reminds me of ABBA. Katy is hot!

      Not surprised there Kim.

      Ironically, I wish I could write like this...I'd be a millionaire.

    Just wait until you hear her sing live...you'll want to hide under an alternative rock (ha) for another few years.

      Just hearing her here was enough to make my ears bleed.

      Sorry Steven, if you mean write lyrics like this, I'm sure you can.
      Any song that has PMS and bitch in the first four lines is not for me.

      If you mean write the whole song, again,I'm sure you can.
      This imo is slop and the girl can't sing.
      Two of the songs in your contest showed more talent than this.
      Like Steven said:"I'm gonna get stoned for this" but not in a good way.

        Kim, thanks so much for the kind words. You have no idea how much
        that means to me.

        Unfortunately, I have been in this business for a very long time (struggling
        at it that is) and I know what sells, sadly. There is a sound that you have
        to have to really make it, in any genre for that matter. Problem with my
        music, and almost every publisher I have been to has said the same thing,
        is I'm stuck in the 60s. They don't hear "modern" but an old sound trying
        desperately to sound "hip" and it just doesn't work.

        And my really good music (the stuff written from years of classical
        training) they simply say isn't commercial.

        I know what sells. Trouble is, I can't duplicate it no matter how hard I
        try, whether it's pop, rock, or whatever.

        But you still made my day...thanks.
