Song of the Day 12/22/10: Katy Perry – Firework

I hate Katy Perry.

I’ve never liked Katy Perry.  In fact I openly dislike her.  All her bubblegum pop songs are extremely annoying in the worst form of scream autotune.  The music is boring, the beats make my ears bleed and her lyrics are blah at best.  She’s hot.  Thats the nicest thing I can say about her, other than she reminds me of Zooey Deschanel.  That’s not why I hate Katy Perry.

I hate Katy Perry cause she has to prove me wrong by actually making a good song.  I love the strings, I like the encouraging lyrics, and the video is fantastic.  I only watched it because it came up as the first suggested video every time I was on youtube.  I actually watched the video hoping to hate it and when I like it, I resisted and said ” I hate you Katy Perry!”  But yeah, is it still bubblegum pop?  Sure, but at least it’s pleasent this time around. Here’s to hoping Katy makes more stuff like this, and less like Teenage Dream.
