With new songs uninteresting, the singer proved to be better when she sang hits and when she performed a feat with one of the pioneers of the genre
About 20 minutes before the American singer’s show Katy Perry finish the program this Friday, 21st, at Rock in Rio a wind hit Rock City. Reasonably, it was a change in weather that could bring rain to Rio de Janeiro on Saturday.
More fabulously, however, would be to say that it was a harbinger of Hurricane Katy wiping out the festival. No sooner said than done. The storm, however, was pop.
Katy’s presentation was a source of curiosity. The singer, also this Friday, released her seventh album,143 (informal code for I love you) a “dance” work, as she herself defined it in interviews given upon her arrival in the country.
Floating, suspended at the top of the stage, Katy opened the script A woman’s worda song from the new album released in a criticized music video in June – the singer invited producer Dr. Luke, accused of sexual assault against singer Kesha, to produce the track and sexualized it to the top of the feminist fight. Controversy aside, the track is not the best.
“I want to share my love with my Brazilian fans,” she said, after a set in which she sang, in addition to the new song, California Girls, Teenage Dream AND Part of me.
Give me give meanother new one, just as weak. Short and with a bunch of frivolous lines. “I’m like Amazon, I got what you need” goes one of the lines, in loose translation. Katy will have to work hard to make new hits like ET, the next song on the setlist.
Between the first and second part, Katy asked a fan in the audience to dance with her Swish swish All very fast. The length of a Tiktok video.
After remembering (the good times) with Enjoy your mealfrom 2027, returns to the new album with I am his, he is minetiring as Give me give me.
The wind picked up again when Katy called Cyndi Lauper, who had performed around 7 p.m., on stage with a show full of nostalgia. Katy praised the pop pioneer. “You have such a long, beautiful and successful career,” she told Cyndi. Together they made a version for voice and guitar From time to time.
Historic moment for pop. It’s as if Katy is acknowledging that she would be nothing without the struggles Cyndi has had in the past to establish herself as the pop singer with colored hair who can write good songs and sing fabulously well.
The atmosphere far from the rhythms of the first ‘dance’ part, continued with the ballad The one who prevailedfrom the singer’s second album, 2010.
Between mistakes and successes and in search of a new artistic path in a music market that always craves the new, Katy absolves herself when she sings, for example, Hot and cold, I kissed a girl AND Roarhis greatest successes of his career, highlighted at the end of the presentation. In the encore, Daisies, Screw AND Fireworks – and lots of fireworks.
Shaped by the media pop of the 2000s, Katy will have to do much more than a bad album or a handful of uninteresting compositions to lose the throne of pop queen that she has since conquered. Who knows, sooner or later, a current singer will call her on stage, at some festival around the world, and say to her, looking her in the eyes: “You have such a long, beautiful and successful career”.
