BGDC was huge. You don't want this song to explode?

I'd rather physically burst my ear-drums with a pin myself, than have this song be played all day every day.

I am beginning to enjoy seeing the more melodramatic pop posters tortured by this song's success. :)

This song has actually grown on me...you really do need to get past the vocals, after that it's pretty good. I'm still not seeing a top 10 peak for it though although I could easily be wrong.

I agree. I thought the song was absolutely hideous the first times I heard it, but it has grown on me a bit. I still don't like the song or the vocals, but it does get better.

[frank]

At first I was thinking, "WTF?" and then it started to grow on me, and I learned appreciate the lyrics and her voice on this. Then I saw the video and loved it from that point on. It's really a grower.

I have nothing against Katy in general so please don't mistake this for trolling, but this is honestly the WORST vocal performance on a pop single I have heard in a long long time. I'm amazed a high-profile non-Disney pop singer can get away with this.

What he said.

When I first heard "I Kissed A Girl" I remember thinking her voice was one of the worst I'd ever heard. Fast forward nine months and this is the second single of hers in a row that I LOVE, and the vocal performance is one of my favourite aspects of it.

This song is better than it first appears imo. Her vocals are more "weird" than "bad" I think. She seems to go to too many places in that department on this song. The only part which sometimes annoys me is the background vocals during the chorus.

[rfucom]

THis song has a slow progress.. i wish it will boost up. go Katty!

I think the chorus is the worst part of the song.

I hope this doesn't slow down just inside the Top 20 like Untouched. :(

Anyway, it should have a decent little jump on the Hot 100 this week. Somewhere between #55-#65.

[rellybois]

This song has kinda killed the momentum on this era. She should close out with "Waking Up in Vegas"

[K.]

I don't know what you mean. It's had a +500 bullet or more since the adds date, which was only, what?, two weeks ago? It's racing up the iTunes chart. That's good for a third single. It's not racing up the chart like MLWSWY, I guess, but did people really expect that?

But, yes, WUIV should be next. And then Fingerprints or Self Inflicted, unless she's ready to release a second album, but I doubt she will be by then.

[rob17]

OMG people are just pathatic. This song has only just gone for adds for heven sakes. Oh its not climbing fast enough oh its slowing down. It flopping OMG. OMG its sales are low. Oh this is so pathatic.

[izrahell711]

this song still hasnt grown on me...at all.
;(

[beachboi69]

I just had to reply to this thread.

I personally feel IKAG and HNC are pure pop perfection....................... but

The is unbearable on the radio... Vegas would have been the way to go.

The vocals are so brutal, and obvious.

I love K P... but why oh why?

[Taylor.]

#50 on the Hot 100.

[Kii]

I don't quite get peoples incessant obsession with WUIV here, I cannot stand that song... it's just not original enough, and has few flourishes. I sincerely hope she releases OOTB after this. Perfect catchy summer tune. :)

I've also never had a problem with her vocal delivery in Thinking Of You, she does put hearty inflections into some words, but that makes it fun to sing along to. lol

[MaterialGirl]

Another smash for Ms. Katy, I love this song.

I agree. I think "Vegas" is horrible. Moreover she has the same vocal inflections on Vegas that she does on this.

I sincerely hope she releases OOTB after this. Perfect catchy summer tune.

I agree. It sounds sweet and sincere. However I do think it's rather immature.

As to her vocal performances on this song I like them as well. I actually think the verses are the best part of the song.

[frank]

I love the "Indian summerrrrr in the middle winter".

[K.]

^I love that too, haha. I like how she says "middle". And her "er" sounds are definitely Alanis-esque. It makes sense why Glen Ballard decided to work with her. :)

[₫anny Jerz ♔]

If just about anyone else had sung this, it would be just another run-of-the-mill ballad. Her voice, although extremely polarizing, lends this song some personality and character.

[PULSE RULES!!!!!]

I was shocked that she did a sad song
