The Problem With... Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night"

• Funniest Video Ever.............AS if...................

• This woman's music keeps getting more disturbingly awful. The Beatle's demographic was mostly teenage girls too but they ended up creating songs for an entire generation that have stood the test of time. Music can be simple and fun without becoming mindless, music factory drivel like this.

• HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I like Katy Perry, but this song disturbs me. She drinks so much that she blacks out and wakes up with bruises and a stranger in her bed. How does she know she wasn't date raped? I'm getting kind of tired of the whole alcoholic clueless white party bimbo genre of dance music. 

• I don't like the song, nor the video. Ended up here because I was searching to see whether anyone realised that this video seems to be an attempt to mock Rebecca Black, without her even knowing it. I'm in my early twenties (as some people thought it was relevant to the discussion) and my tastes are no where near this kind of music, but if you do not like it, don't listen to it, and shut up. The internet's given idiots a global opinion.

• Jeesh, you take entertainment pretty SERIOUS~! eh? How many videos have different takes on the songs? Anyway, you're looking way too deep into things that aren't even there!

• I just find the video to be a joke, really. I won't get all riled up about it.

• Go die. Kill yourself for this comment. Thank you. No seriously. Another jealous person..come on people. Get a life. If you don't like something don't read it.

• u al ned 2 giv her a brek

• i dnt get 1 prt

• luv ths vi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• sam her

• ur siko

• oh come on i worked really hard on this video just give me a break

• I love this video

• Wow. You are really angry. That video, paired with the song, is just pure fun. What's wrong with you? Does it hurt to laugh?

• Duh ur whole article is plain dumb! Imma go 2 her concert nxt month :-D What makes her cool is that she's different and she's her own personality, wat if she loves retro? Get over it! People love her n ur jst an idiot with no life haha

• wht parta?

• I LOVE THIS VIDEO -- I can't get enough.  The only problem is that I wasn't at the party...

• what do umean what is the reason 4 this?

• wow. remarking on her "enormous boobs" is FOUL. What a piece of shit.

• The only thing wrong with this video is it prompted the author to write about it.

• I think the song, as a stand-alone, naturally appeals to the over-18 crowd (citing references to cars, jobs, credit cards, etc). Much of Katy's fan base, however, are young teens, so the video is an attempt to reach out to the younger crowd as well as appeal to those older fans who might jump on the 80s nostalgia bandwagon. In my opinion, it's a pretty decent and well-reaching attempt; everyone I've shown this video to has enjoyed it to some extent. I agree that the sexual references begin to get a bit creepy when mixed with the eye-candy cocktail of the tweeny video, but the above review is directionlessly harsh, with none of the "Bazinga" moments it so desperately grasps for. The review seems a predictable waste of Internet space that would result when an editor tells a closet Katy Perry lover with a devolved writing style to write a negatively critical review of her video for media publicity.

• i agree with u ur totaly right....... r u single how old?

• Die bitch!

• I like both..but you do have a great point.

• Go die. Kill yourself for this comment. Thank you. No seriously. Another jealous person..come on people. Get a lfe. If you don't like something don't watch it.

• YOU ARE SUCH A LAME KILLJOY THIS TRACK AND VIDEO IS REALLY REALLY GREAT. Whatever you obviously don't know anything, i think it's awesome to see so much thought and concept go into a music video. Also how many popstars can you name who are so willing to make themselves look silly? Katy Perry/Kathy Beth Terry obviously has a lot of hutzpah and she's AWESOME!

• People just hate on Katy because of the fact that they can. I love her and this video. It's lively. You critics don't pick on anyone else as much as you pick on Katy. I hope you know that she doesn't give a fuck. She's doing her. So go cry about the fact that she's making more money than you. I love Katy Perry and so do many other people..calm down and stop bashing the video! It's great! Okay had to rant. Lol.

• copied shane dawson

• It wasn't three pages down when I wrote it, and I can be quite persuasive.  

• I'm in my 30s (because apparently age indicates something relevant in an online comment thread).  I will also say that I have taste (because everyone thinks they do).  That said, the idea that we are going to come to some agreement about what is or is not great music is a bit naive.  Hell, the idea that there is provably great music is naive.  I would not argue that KP is creating music with substantive artistic content (and that may be what you were going for), but that's only one of many possible reasons we have music.  Most naive, however, is the idea that people who like her or don't are going to change their minds because of what you (or I) write, especially in the comments to an article reviewing the video, 3 pages down and counting.

• I'm not really a KP fan, and I thought this was fun and clever... The above review I found to be meandering, arbitrary, and largely a waste of time.

• what do u mean?

• What the heck is the reason for this?

•  Because this is all you get now on the airwaves. Madonna paved the way for Pop and bubblegum as a money making brand and thus anything that requires something called musicianship and originality (the hallmarks of rock not pop) were not seen as profitable. For guttersnipes like Perry it is about the next outfit and video-that's it. Her people buy her way.

• Payola much?

• Katy Amber Alert Perry, a 26 year old woman dressing like a little girl and selling toddler imagery topped off with those sad and VERY little things she calls "enormous boobs" is FOUL.  Gummi Bears, teddy bears, cupcakes, sesame street, 13 year old singers?  Just foul. Another no talent fundamentalist religious freak with a record deal who is into sexuallising children's imagery. If you defend this **** you need a therapist.

• The song is good and I'm no Katy Perry fan but this article is terrible

• u sound weird dont talk that

• I LOV IT AT LEAST SHES MOR NICE THEN JB IDIOT

• It matters.

• today is june 16 and watch because next week last friday night will go to number one on the billboard!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I'm in my 20s.  I just have taste, something you "kids" obviously lack.  There's plenty of great music out there today.  It's just not being made by Lady Gaga or Katy Perry.

• like it matters.

• Matt, maybe you are just too old to understand this new generations music. People always complain about how music is not how it was "back in the day", how about suck it up, because it's not going to ever go back to "how it was before". People like 8 minute videos, have you never seen Gaga's? Not everything has to have a strong meaning and explanation. Perhaps you should focus on writing about other things like, poetry, or love stories, but definitely not music.

• Chill out dude, the video was literally the best thing ever made. I doubt katy is a pedo, or will become one. Besides, she honestly looks the hottest since she first came out.

• "your a moron..." It's "you're a moron," moron.

• I don't understand how people can listen to this crap.  There is no legitimate way to defend Perry's music.  I made it a minute into this video, which is inexplicably 8 minutes long.  Does Slash do a 5-minute solo or something at the end?

• In regards to "you obviously don't have that," I meant "one," not "that"

• This article was amazing. NOT! See how annoying that gets? Maybe you should get a sense of humor, because it's obvious you don't have that. Or grammar skills.

• oh shut up who cares its just a fun video, dont take it so seriously

• love the video katy

• Really dude? This article makes no sense. And there is mo real ABC TGIF reference here. That acronym has been around for decades. Moron.

• your a moron lol whoever wrote this is high on that kush!

• Whoa... calm down. This purpose of the video is clearly entertainment, and I think it's hilarious! The guest appearances are so over-the-top, you can't take anything seriously. So stop trying to argue that nothing in the video makes sense, because nothing is really supposed to! Look at Katy Perry's demographic...mostly teen girls, right? I doubt any of them seriously expect to throw a party like this. The only problems I really have with the song are the creepy sex references and corny "TGIF" chant (and even those are still kind of funny). And another thing: it's psych- not psyche...

• GREATEST VIDEO EVER MADE!
