For a while now Katy Perry has won over my heart over and over again. The first time I heard of her was with her song ‘I Kissed a Girl.’ Fortunately I actually have not heard that song (but I still sing it…), just the buzz about it. The first song of hers that I was able to listen to was ‘Hot and Cold’ and that song made me want to move my body, so I was pretty much in love with her after that. Some things that kind of get under my skin about her are; She has been a little skanky lately I guess since her song that made her famous was risqué she felt she needed to continue that act. When using her looks she does not have to try too hard to be liked. Her new CD Teenage Dream is one of my favorite albums to listen to on my iPod. One song that I think is funny but it is one that I think she felt she needed to write to keep up her ‘dirty girl’ feel is Peacock. It is one of the most interesting songs I have heard in a LONG time. Who writes a song dedicated to the private areas of a man? Oh yea, that would be Katy Perry. She has a unique way of saying things she wants in innocent ways. Who would have thought she was talking about an actual peacock? I did, until I heard the first line that says, “I wanna see your peacock…” For this song to be on the album titles ‘Teenage Dream’ I was a little worried that there might actually be teenage girls out there who want to see these things. Or for them to be wanting things like what are talked about in the song ‘Teenage Dream,’ if there is a girl in high school who thinks her boyfriend loves her, and she thinks she needs to “go all the way” with him. She has another thing coming. I am sorry to say girls, he does not love you. He might slightly, but if you give it up, the will give you up. Coming from a guy, I am here to tell you that in high school guys are wanting a relationship because he wants some action. And the desperate girls are willing to give it to them. So don’t listen to Katy Perry when it comes to this, PLEASE! Our world has no hope with Ke$ha singing about eating people and Katy Perry singing about sleeping with the whole football team before leaving your teenage years.
Ok, not all of Katy Perry songs are psycho like the few I have mentioned. There are a few songs that I can’t stop listening to. The first is firework (see Glozell Video at end of post) I like the beat, and the first time I heard it I made fun of it a little bit. But then I actually listened to ALL the lyrics, and it has potential. It has nearly the same message as Lady GaGa’s new song ‘Born This Way.’ Another song I really like is, ‘E.T.’ but the reasons I like this song don’t pertain to what I am talking to so we will move on. ‘Hummingbird Heartbeat’ caught me because of the beat of course, but I am a person who has not had an actual LOVE in my life yet. I have had many crushes and a few girlfriends, but no one I have fallen in love with yet. A hummingbird heartbeat is foreign to me, so I like listening about it.
The song I have saved to talk about last is ‘Pearl.’ The reason I love this song is very personal, but I want to talk to the many girls out there for this one. In the city I live in I have seen girl after girl fall into the trap of a worthless guy, and then she ends up throwing away her endless possibilities to keep him. According to Katy Perry you are a pearl, I have always looked at girls as a precious gem, but a pearl works too. You have the option to do whatever you want after high school. You can go and enjoy your life! The sad thing is I have seen way too many girls throw their lives away because their high school boyfriend said “I love you.” I am about to tell you something I have told many girls before, he does not love you. You have the chance to go out and meet other people you have an option to see the way a guy will give his own life to save yours. There are men out there who will treat you like royalty. You may think that your high school boyfriend treats you that way, but I want you to try something. See how he treats his sisters, mother, and other random women. A man who will respect you is a man who will show respect to women he does not know in places like the mall, or grocery store. He will show the proper respect to his mother and sisters. That is the guy you want, not a guy who will hide your potential to become anything in the world. Don’t let him blind you with the make believe that men are not that way, because there are MANY guys out there who will respect you. There is a guy I know who has been married to his wife for nearly 5 years, and still to this day he has not said anything cruel or degrading to her. He always speaks to her as if it will be the last time he will see her. He still respects her in everything, even her mistakes. That is the kind of guy I want every girl to have. So take this song from Katy Perry’s collection and adapt it to your life. As Katy says in her song, “She use to set the sails of a thousand ships, she was a force to be reckoned with… but he keeps her in the dark.” Do not settle for the first guy who says “I Love You.” Live up to your full capability.
