We are lucky to be living in a woman’s world, but not the one presented by Katy Perry.
The pop singer and American Idol host’s return to the charts has been a disappointment.
Released Thursday night, “Woman’s World” only went as high as number 4 on iTunes. Now it’s down to 44.
Perry really needed this anthem to take off. She hasn’t had a hit in quite a while, concentrating instead on her TV career.
“Woman’s World” looked like it could be a nice comeback. The song is catchy and the attitude is right.
But fans bridled at the bizarre jiggly video. They were also not too pleased about the participation of producer Dr. Luke on a feminist anthem considering that he was accused of rape and sexual harassment. Dr Luke — Lukasz Gottwald — settled with singer Kesha last year after a decade of fighting.
“Woman’s World” was supposed to be the big set up for a new album called “143” coming on September 20th. “143” is supposed to reflect the number of letters in the words “I love you.” Whoever thought of this in marketing should be fired. WTH are they talking about?
Also, why didn’t they wait until after this week’s political convention to release the single? Next week, Perry could have been all over TV launching the song. She needed a big outside concert audience on the Today show or GMA. Now this is a fizzle.
Did anyone ask me? No. Did they ask anyone?
