Katy Perry gave her first high-profile performance of new single ‘Teenage Dream’ at last night’s Teen Choice Awards. Peep the 25 year old’s live showing after the jump…
Though an able singer, Perry sounded as if she’d been taking vocal lessons from her pal Rihanna – ultimately sounding like a shivering sheep. From the botched falsettos, to reaching for notes that clearly weren’t there, this was appalling in every sense of the word.
With her all-important sophomore album just weeks away from release, the soon-to-be Mrs Brand will have to address this if her wish to be taken seriously as an artist is to be achieved.

OMG i agree with you 100 % this is pretty bad…what the world
“THOUGH AN ABLE SINGER”…. REALLY? LOL EVERYBODY KNOWS SHE CAN’T SING.
THIS IS A GOOD SONG EVEN BETTER THAN CALLIFORNIA GIRLS IN MY OPINION BUT KATY IS JUST TRASH AND SO IS HER FIANCE.
IT’S LIKE MEMPHIS BLAC & SOKAHONTAS JONES SAY IN THEIR UNDERGROUND SMASH “H** MONEY”…

EH… I STILL PREFER LILY ALLEN OVER THIS JOKE, LILY HAS SONGS THAT MEAN S***.
terrible…..
I am tired of these ppl that cannot hold a tune being declared “SUPERSTAR” in the music industry. I am not for or against Katy Perrry but this just sounds awful. However, I am glad she did decide to wear clothing at the t*** choice awards unlike some we have seen on other kid award shows.
and yall call Ciar a bad singer. SMFH
I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was just having an off night.
Besides her songs sell well [despite the fact both are carbon copies of Tik Tok ] so obviously her stans/fans or casual music listeners aren’t going to affected by this performance.They’ll just chalk it up to marginally talented hot female pop singer with catchy songs.
lawd katy smh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pPcLxgQwjM OH MY GOSH C ERROR JUST CANT SING !
AWFUL PERFORMANCE !! She destroyed the song … !! Anyway, love her still
^^Rihanna’s voice was actually decent [during her Good Girl Gone Bad era. I thought she’d get better but she sounds horrible on this current tour/era.
Ciara has a nice tone but little range so she ends up sounding mono-tone alot of the time.
Basically, Neither will be remembered for their strong voices.
ultimately sounding like a shivering sheep.

lmao…..you guys are too much on this site
gaga may be too over the top sometimes, but at least she can HOLD A DAMN TUNE.
lmao. smh @ this chick.
Lol @ Futurestardelux for the Smokahontas and Memphis Blac reference… Classic
Ohhh Katy Perry. In the words of Charles Barkley “That was turrible, just turrible.” She used to be able to sing when she first came out. What happened?
I know Sam likes Katy Perry, so obviously he isn’t throwing shade at her, just constructively criticism.
That being said, most of the performance was overtaken by backing tracks, so the few instances I was able to hear Katy’s voice, I didn’t think she sounded that bad. I’m not deluding myself into thinking she is by any stretch of the imagination a great singer, but she isn’t nearly as bad as people make her out to be. Maybe if she made better music that wasn’t so reliant on gimmicks people wouldn’t hate her so much.
* constructive criticism.
katy hun..do wat u know u can do okay..dnt try n push out ur range..but i think ur such a good pop artist so i cant hate ..i cant i love KP
LMAO. This talentless HO can’t sing to save her life as expected.
The industry is becoming a joke…
*plays X-Tina after this musical assault*
Why do ppl expect every Time someome performs. They gonna be perfect. Like Really nObODY’S pErfect.Damn How bout yall go on the stage and do better!!!!!!!!!!! I support every artist Besides BEYAWNCE. As long as they dont steal and they are honest
IT WASN’T THAT BAD!!!!!! IT WAS VERY BREATHY THO AND SOME OF THE NOTES WERE NOT THERE!!!! BUT KATY WASN’T THAT BAD!!! IT GOT GOOD AT THE END!!!!! IT WAS AN OK PERFORMANCE!!!!!! SHE NEEDS VOCAL LESSIONS!!!! NOW THAT CACA CAN SING GOOD SHE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO SING GOOD ALONG WITH HER!!! CACA IS PROVING THAT POP STARS CAN SING AND HAVE TALENT!!!!! LET’S BE REAL MADONNA AND BRITNEY CAN REALLY SING!!!!! AND BEYONCE IS NOT A POP STAR SHE IS MORE OF A R&B STAR!!!!!! RIHANNA CAN SING A LITTLE BIT!!!! BUT RIRI IS MORE OF A ROCK STAR THAN POP!!!!! ALTHOUGH I HATE LADY CACA I MUST ADMIT SHE IS THE BEST IN POP MUSIC TODAY IN TERMS OF TALENT AND MARKETING HER CAREER! SHE IS THE FUTURE {{QUEEN OF DANCE}} AND A REIGNING QUEEN OF POP!!!!! THIS SONG IS GREAT AND KATY JUST DIDN’T DO IT JUSTICE LIVE!!!!
The award for the Delusional Stan of the year goes to…..KATY4EVER !
Congratulations !
*fake smile*
@RIHANNA and Rihanna can’t dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l_37KwYmUQ
Omg she can walk backwards :O
I MENT MADONNA AND BRITNEY CAN’T REALLY SING!!!
Thanks for your share!!!
She can sing But dumbs down everything to sell records. Smart move Katy
i need a damn cotton swab after listenin to that damnnnn!
* Seems like ROBIER is in denial too*
WEll atleast She sounds better than CIARA
I dont think it was that bad any way this song is my jam right now love it i hope it goes number one
No denial her. Its no secret that the blueprint for selling records is NOT singing well
Every Katy Perry fan is in denial because they don’t have anything to really brag about
Child, she sounded a HOT mess! Now to get people to buy her album, she might have to talk some more ish about Gaga to get people to forget about this atrocity!
ok im dissapointed that kathy perry sounds this way but i guess she’s another studio singer oh well i need all these studio singers to star disappearing, kesha, katy, bieber, jason derulo, tae cruz, and rhianna(the biggest studio singer of all time)
I hate it when people talk s*** about people who actually have some talent. I’m far from a Katy Perry stan and I agree her vocals aren’t very good in this performance. But Katy Perry is actually a talented singer. She doesn’t deserve to be grouped with the Ke$ha’s out there. She has to make these cookie-cutter pop songs to stay relevant.
I personally prefer her singing songs like this though.

AND LMAO @ that accapella at the start…EPIC FAIL
For educational purpose to all who think Katy’s “vocals” are not bad here, here’s a link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hwza5cp1jw
This is how good singing live SOUND.
*BYE*
SMH Katy Perry Was NEVER an able singer, Tho I Like Her…She is def nowhere near Rihanna vocally….Sam and Trent are just biased assholes who stay up Chris Brown’s Ballsack!!
Like Are they just now discovering Katy Now? becuase i new she wasnt that great of a singer since she first came out, plus her songs require no real vocal work at all…but Sam saying that she can sing really makes me not take anything he says seriously at all!
But Whatever who cares, They can stay mad, Rihanna will stay great, sooo oh well, There Lost!!
PRAISE RIHSUS!!! AMAZING.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN7T_XxhlCQ
Yes, Rihanna improved a lot and she’s a WAY better than Katy.
#just keep it real
she’s a way better singer than Katy
How the f*** do you have the nerve to compare Mariah Carey, a living legend (ESPECIALLY AT HER FUCKEN PEAK), to ANY of the singers of today? SMFH! Biggest “NO DUH” in music comparisons!
Yes Mariah’s peak, i see you know your facts that’s great boo
In case you don’t know, Emotions was a #1 on Hot 100 just like California Gurls was this year.
EMotions was a pop hit just like California Gurls.
This is how a pop singer (as Mariah was considered at that time) should sound like, FACT.
Hense my comparison to show how music has gotten worse and to educate the teens who like Bieber & s*** you know 😉
I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING FROM WATCHING THE VIDEO BELOW…..LOOK @ HER SHOES/CLOTHES, THEY LOOK LIKE THE SHOWS GAGA’s BEEN ROCKIN LATELY BUT GAGA MADE IT MORE EXTREME…..THAT SEEMS TO BE IT, GAGA TAKES THINKS RIHANNA DOES LIKE SHOUDLER PADS, SPIKES, ETC. PUT MAKES THEM MORE OUTRAGEOUS TO SEEM LIKE IT WAS DIFFERENT?! …NOT SAYIN SHE COPIED RIH, BUT WHOA WHAT AN ANALYST I JUST MADE THERE!! Lmfao
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN7T_XxhlCQ
Dunno what your all banging on about, would you rather listen to jason Derulo or Justine Bieber?
No, so shut up.
I thought she was actually very good considering.
I agree, not her best vocal.
i don’t get this obssession of everyone having to deliver perfect performances… not everybody is beyonce. they’re all human you know?
madonna never could sing to save her life and look where she is!
TYPICAL AMERICAN IDOL PERFORMANCE – TOTALLY SHITASTIC!!!!!
What a great song to sing to teens “Lets go all the way tonight…” wtf. She sounds bad. She is no superstar. I already knew that. She sings too high.
Yes, she is nothing like Rihanna vocally…
… and thank God for that. One singing goat is more than enough.
I’m not xtina stan, but you guys are too hard on her. She could wipe the floor with Katy’s s***** vocals, and Katy thrown plenty of shade too (see her comments on Lady Gaga).
#justsayin
She was vocally weak, no doubt…..But that first B-section gives me chills every time….I LOVE this song!
love her but she’s gonna have to do better cause the tone of her voice is great
at least she was wearing clothes this time…
This is a good post, I stumbled across your post while looking for downloads. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to come back.
This is probably due to her lack of live experience. Throughout her career, she probably has never preformed in front of a cheering crowd like this.
