Video: Katy Perry Performs At Teen Choice Awards 2010

Published: Tuesday 10th Aug 2010 by Sam

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.

Your thoughts?

    “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”…

    terrible…..

  4. JonBerry August 10, 2010

    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.

  5. CIARADABESS August 10, 2010

    and yall call Ciar a bad singer. SMFH

  6. UmYa August 10, 2010

    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.

  7. AKisdabest August 10, 2010

    lawd katy smh

  8. Rihanna August 10, 2010

    AWFUL PERFORMANCE !! She destroyed the song … !! Anyway, love her still

  9. UmYa August 10, 2010

    ^^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.

  10. UGh August 10, 2010

    ultimately sounding like a shivering sheep.

  11. stan August 10, 2010

    gaga may be too over the top sometimes, but at least she can HOLD A DAMN TUNE.

    lmao. smh @ this chick.

  12. Lady Gaga’s Invisble Twin Marty August 10, 2010

    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?

  13. True Blue August 10, 2010

    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.

  14. True Blue August 10, 2010

    * constructive criticism.

  15. Commander for Kelly & Ciara August 10, 2010

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!!!!

    * Seems like ROBIER is in denial too*

  27. Robier August 10, 2010

    No denial her. Its no secret that the blueprint for selling records is NOT singing well

  28. iLoveXtina August 10, 2010

    Every Katy Perry fan is in denial because they don’t have anything to really brag about

  29. ~TeAM WeeZY~ August 10, 2010

    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!

  30. Ingrid OKonta August 10, 2010

    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)

  31. MUSIC LOVER August 10, 2010

    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.

  32. TheBaddestBitch August 10, 2010

    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*

  33. DION-ISH August 10, 2010

    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.

  34. TheBaddestBitch August 10, 2010

    Yes, Rihanna improved a lot and she’s a WAY better than Katy.

    #just keep it real

  35. TheBaddestBitch August 10, 2010

    she’s a way better singer than Katy

  36. MUSIC LOVER August 10, 2010

    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!

  37. TheBaddestBitch August 10, 2010

    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 😉

  38. DION-ISH August 10, 2010

    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

  39. OddOne August 10, 2010

    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.

  40. BENJAMIN August 10, 2010

    I agree, not her best vocal.

  41. Luis August 10, 2010

    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!

  42. EXPOSED August 10, 2010

    TYPICAL AMERICAN IDOL PERFORMANCE – TOTALLY SHITASTIC!!!!!

  43. DizzyGuy1985 August 10, 2010

    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.

  44. True Blue August 10, 2010

    Yes, she is nothing like Rihanna vocally…

    … and thank God for that. One singing goat is more than enough.

  45. kevin August 10, 2010

    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

  46. J Rock August 11, 2010

    She was vocally weak, no doubt…..But that first B-section gives me chills every time….I LOVE this song!

  47. rob August 11, 2010

    love her but she’s gonna have to do better cause the tone of her voice is great

  48. raraskils August 12, 2010

    at least she was wearing clothes this time…

  49. Linda August 16, 2010

    This is a good post, I stumbled across your post while looking for downloads. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to come back.

  50. Lisa August 18, 2010

    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.
