Her latest LP may be a ‘Teenage Dream’, but last night- at BBC’s ‘Let’s Dance For Sports Relief’, Katy Perry‘s vocals were nothing short of nightmarish, performing her new single ‘Part Of Me‘.
Channeling gal pal Rihanna by way of her singing, peep her performance (at your own risk) below…
As the saying goes, “if you can’t sing live, you can’t sing at all”.
Indeed, in what can only be put down to lack of practice, Katy’s ‘live’ voice pales in comparison to that of her studio one, off key and breathless all at the same time.
Though her set wasn’t all bad, her so-so delivery made it too easy to forget how great ‘Part Of Me’ is, and made supporting her cause as a vocalist even harder to support.
Either way, with the cut set to secure a fresh #1, we’re sure singing on key is the last thing on her mind.
But what do you think?

Huh?
Katy and rihanna should be Milli vanilli
of course classic thatgrapejuice blame rihanna for everything rihanna is far better than this
LMFAO THIS PERFORMANCE IS A VOCAL DISASTER!
KATY PERRY CANNOT SING AND THIS PERFORMANCE IS A REMINDER
LOL AT HER ATTEMPT TO “DANCE” SMH!
POOR KATY! STRUGGLING DEAR? CAN’T KEEP A SINGLE NOTE?
KATY PERRY AT LEAST YOU TRIED 🙂
ALL THIS STUPID SITE TALKS ABOUT NOW IS RIHANNA! EVEN WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER, YOU PATHETIC PEOPLE AT TGJ FIND A WAY TO ADD HER TO IT! I’M DONE WITH THIS TRASH GARBAGE BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least she is dancing,she is dancing …Katy sounds good when she plays guitar.
The voice was a disaster,when is Gaga coming back
Plz this TGJ staff is going to make ppl leave this blog again
I’m not suprised. I knew that performance wise, she sucked as much as Riri. Why do u think they’re such good friends? Most of that performance was playback anyway, and I didn’t detect any flaws. Maybe because I wasn’t expecting much of a performance.
KATY PERRY SUCKS SO BADDDD!!!!!!!
SHUT THE HELL UP KATY YOU HURTING MY EARS B****!!!!
JUST LIP SYNC IF YOU CANT SING DUMB W****!!!!!!!!!!!
GURL PLEASE, YOU STAN FOR NICKI MINAJ AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CRITICIZE OTHER ARTISTS’ SINGING?
blame the producers that make the studio version sound that much different. they polish the fish to death. live is raw and this one’s just as good as is it. 😀
Uhhmmm, this was not that bad Grape Juice. I’m a professional singer and it is very difficult to run around, dance and sing at the same time. She is an entertainer and this performance was entertaining. That’s all.
Horrible singing and the “dancing” she did was not HARD COMPLEX CHOREO!
did not expect much from a Katy Perry performance though tbh 🙂
all the SHEEP ( Katy Cat and teeny BOPPERS) are probably talking about this performance if it is anyhing amazing to talk about 😛
Come on folks Katy was never at the top of list when comes to vocal ability so why act surprised? With artists of this caliber its take what you can get and onto the next one.
She has an awful voice. It’s so cold and emotionless.
tis tis tis she sounds awful… Rihanna can’t dance… yet these 2 chicks continue to rake in the dough and DOMINATE the CHARTS!
**goes back to having my sundie lunch and sippin long island ice tea**
THIS B**** IS SOOOO WACKKK HAHAHA
#TEAMKIM DOESNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WACK PERFORMANCES!
QUEEN BEE TAKE OVER!!
F*** u all that was amazing!!!!!! Grape juice u better post her acoustic performance on b** 1 tomorrow!!!
cant get rih out of your mouth samantha? pathetic. this “blog” has lost all its credibility it had……..wait. its not like it had any to begin with.
THE SAHDEEEE! OMG. IT WASNT THAT BAD! No it wasn’t great, she doesn’t really have a strong voice, but it wasn’t the worst think I’ve ever heard. I can see how she would sound great in the studio…Rihanna is still worse.
Come on… she does not sound as bas as Rihanna. She wasn’t that bad IMO. Rihanna’s a HORRIBLE live vocalist. Katy wasn’t that bad.
wow so much hate. lovely.
How can she not sing this s*** have decently? She’s just talking. And I love how she skips the vocal runs that she does oh so flawlessly on the studio version.
It is not exactly news to anyone that Katy Perry is a very variable live singer, like Rihanna. You do have to give them both points for attempting it rather than doing a Britney and lip synching all the time, still they could both do with some extensive vocal coaching. KP does seem a little worse than usual here though and I would imagine her fans would prefer she concentrating on singing rather than that half-assed thing she calls dancing ;o)
I’m confused.. Yea it sucked but it wasn’t any different from any other of her performances.
