If you think about it, even the most ludicrously manufactured pop stars have at least one or two hints of inner contradiction to them. That's what makes them interesting. Madonna was virginal but aggressively dominant. Britney was a little girl on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Taylor Swift undercuts her Skipper-doll-in-day-wear-separates exterior with lyrics about rage and being crazy (not like a fox, either). We may not love any of those artists but we believe in their real and in their fake (just as important!). They battle themselves. They're trying hard. They're complex.

Katy Perry is a winner, not a loser. She belongs. She is never out of step with anything. She is Ãœber-normal. She is never neurotic and never second-guesses herself. She takes everything at face value. Katy Perry would never disavow fame like Lorde or embrace fame like Swift or ask "Miley, what's good?" like Nicki Minaj. Katy Perry is Mariah Carey without the amazing voice or the bubbly script written in a glitter pen. Katy Perry is Britney Spears without the dance moves and the natural bubbly appeal and the nervous breakdown. Katy Perry is Kate Bush without the everything.

I like Katy Perry but I do agree with the gist of the article, but yeah this writer's stance can be applied to a lot of current pop stars.  

 

Katy Perry is as conflicted and complex as a pumpkin-spice rug-and-room deodorizer. She doesn't have a look. She never changes. The Katy Perry of 2010 is the same as the Katy Perry of 2015. Her hair color is different here and there. That's it. She wears tight, glittery, rainbow-colored dresses and black eyeliner. Always and forever a Super Star Barbie circa 1988.

Both true!

Especially the last one sounds more like a compliment to Britney!

Man, I am NOT a Katy Perry fan at all, never have been - but what was the point of that article? She's doing something rather inoffensive - campaigning for a candidate she likes - and the NY Mag decided now's a good time for a KP hit piece???
