ehhhh....I don't know about this Dark Katy thing. Reminds me of "Born this Way" a lot. Trying to get super serious and dark in a bid for artistic credibility. Plus burning your old wig? Cliche as hell, cuzzzz. I don't think her "dark" will be anywhere near Lady Gaga since Gaga's wasn't even really dark - just fricken weird as hell. I never got the vibe that Katy Perry was bat-shit crazy like I get from Lady Gaga, so I wouldn't be too worried about being too dark and different to alienate her fans.

I think Katy's "dark" will be more like "Wide Awake" meets Can't Be Tamed.

i love the concept of burning her old blue wig. To me, it solidifies Prism will NOT be Teenage Dream 2.0

I know it's cliched to hell, but I don't care my Fucking body is ready. Love the "look". Pumped to have her back and although I loved the entire Teenage Dream era, I'm happy it looks like they are changing things up a little for this era. Although I do hope her CD smells like something. Maybe burned hair? <3

How George Michael of her. (If that means we're getting something on the level of "Freedom '90" do NOT take this comment as a complaint, by any means.)

it's a great concept that also has a HUGE Internet lingo connotation. I can already see the avi's on ATRL.

Love the way the word Prism is designed on her site.
Josh: not on the link maker yet.
Interestingly, there may be as many as six promo videos, judging by the URLs: smarturl.it/roar1 leads to the first preview on VEVO, while 2-6 redirect to smarturl.it/kprosr, which go to the homepage. 7-9 don't work. They might update those links to new snippets as they're revealed, or perhaps to digital retailers or something once the song is out.

That video is hilarious. I'm glad someone in the industry has a sense of humor about all this YouTube hype bullshit.

I don't think it's going to be too dark really, especially with the lead single. But I could definitely see it being something like this:

I doubt Katy Perry will actually go dark. It will probably be a fun bouncy pop tune with slightly dark lyrics like how men make her want to roar and she is just going to dance instead or something. Actually Dark Perry would probably be amazing, but I am not holding my breath

That video... as tacky and almost as embarrassing as her fragrance ad -- it's like a parody. The promo picture is nice (I love her eyes) and I like the font. If the video is any indication, this era will be hilarious though. I'm here for more of this:

Totally here for #RoaR as a title. That way she can take credit for popularizing hashtags.

Yes there will be a total of six promo videos.
Don't you guys think the competition between Katy and GaGa will actually benefit both of them?

Don't you guys think the competition between Katy and GaGa will actually benefit both of them? competition is pointless if one or both songs isn't good. but then, if both songs are good and properly promoted, why would either need the competition? really all it is going to do is create a lot of fanwars (as if we needed any more incentive). those typically don't have any effect on how well the artists perform. i expect them to be different enough from one another that there is plenty of room for both.

The "dark" aura she's going for is a hell of a lot more appealing imo..

The two "darkest" singles from the last album ("E.T." and "Part of Me") were easily my least favorites, so I'm hoping this album is not "dark Katy".

Wide Awake is the darkest she got, and I completely expect this to be a continuation of that sound/lyrical content. Which I would be all there for.

so I'm hoping this album is not "dark Katy". I loved all the dark songs like "Pearl", "Who Am I Living For", and "Circle The Drain" more than the fluffier, catchier, light songs. I can understand the reasons for not making those singles, but in the long run she would be more respected for taking a risk with songs about such real issues.

She bringing halloween early looks like a scary video and haunting track is coming. I'm hoping Roar is a new sound for her.

I'm still pissed "Hummingbird Heartbeat" was never released. My least favorites were also "ET" and "Part of Me."

I can't wait to hear this. I hope the "Dark" Katy comments are true as that would be great to hear. I Loved that promo video and that pic! I'm sure I'll love whatever Katy releases. Here's hoping for a darker side of Katy!
