SINGLE REVIEW: John Mayer – “Paper Doll”

June 18th, 2013 Jacob Tender

Today, John Mayer did an odd thing. That is to say, John Mayer did something I didn’t expect from him with a few elements that made it strange. See, after years of TMZ interactions, a failed television program featuring Dave Chappelle, and several unforgettable interviews, it seemed to me that John Mayer was settling down. Now I’m not so sure.

That’s not simply due to the granuloma that stripped his ability to sing for nearly 2 years. No, I had it in my mind that JM was growing up. Leaving the childish comments and cheap media news-bits aside in …

Katy Perry Pokes Fun At “Hate Being Sober”; Chief Keef Replies With Threat

May 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

I’m starting to lose count of the number of times I’ve had to write about Chicago rapper Chief Keef getting himself into trouble for things that have very little to do with him releasing new music, but here we are once more.

Tuesday evening, May 21, Katy Perry tweeted “Just heard a new song on the radio called “I hate being sober” I now have serious doubt for the world.” The post went on to receive over 15,000 retweets, which is impressive for any message, let alone one condemning someone for partying sent by a girl who once sang about …

HERE COME THE TEARS: Katy Perry Sings “Firework” with Autistic Child

October 19th, 2012 James Shotwell

Before you come running with pitchforks, give this post a chance. We talk a lot of smack about Katy Perry’s marketing decisions (which admittedly is only partially her fault), but this story is simply too moving to pass up.

Recently, Katy Perry took the stage for Comedy Central’s autism benefit Night of Too Many Stars to perform her hit single, “Firework.” Before her performance, benefit host John Stewart introduced the crowd to a brave young girl named Jodi DiPiazza who was diagnosed with autism when she was two-years-old. This intro was then followed by a video clip about Jodi’s journey, …

EDITORIAL: “Part of Me: Behind the Scenes of Katy Perry’s Box Office Flop”

July 9th, 2012 Boris Paskhaver

Wrapped up in The Amazing Spider-Man’s web this weekend, few noticed the other new releases that snuck into national theaters underneath the radar. Although all debuted to unimpressive numbers, the most surprising result came from Katy Perry’s tour documentary Part of Me which collected a paltry $7.1 million to land in 8th place. The film’s $12 million dollar production budget shouldn’t be difficult to recoup for distributor Paramount Pictures so it’s premature to call the concert flick a financial disaster, but the result is still disappointing. The studio had hoped to replicate the success of similar small-budget artist-based …

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: July 6-8

July 9th, 2012 Justin Proper

Spider-man tops the weekend box office proving, once again, that it is the summer of superheroes. Oliver Stone’s new movie, Savages was met with mediocre reviews and numbers, landing itself the number four slot this weekend. A few Katy Perry fans managed to get to the theater also as her new movie Part Of Me (which is a 3D concert, according to trailers I keep having to see on TV) made the top ten, but near the bottom at number eight. You can see the full top ten list from the weekend and how much each movie made after the …

Katy Perry Teases “Wide Awake” Video

June 13th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

Katy Perry is prepping the release of her “Wide Awake” video and today fans were given their first look at the visuals. From what we can tell, Perry is channeling Snow White like it’s no one’s business and really, why not? It seems everyone wants a chance to redo the masterpiece in 2012, so why not let Katy get her filthy little paws in on the fun as well?

You can view the preview after the jump. If we think of something witty to write before the video premieres, you may just see it run on UTG in the near …

MOVIE TRAILER: Katy Perry – Part Of Me 3D

April 2nd, 2012 James Shotwell

The first official trailer for Katy Perry’s forthcoming 3D concert film has arrived online!

Giving fans their first glance at the behind-the-scenes life of America’s biggest non-singer/songwriter female pop star, Katy Perry – Part Of Me 3D looks to be your average theatrical concert event (only this one is in 3D). Fans will go nuts though, and that is what really matters. You can experience the trailer after the jump.

Katy Perry just released Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection and will probably have at least one or two more songs out before this film drops over the Summer. Will you …

STREAM: Katy Perry – Dressin Up

March 25th, 2012 James Shotwell

A day ahead of The Complete Confection, another new Katy Perry song has surfaced.

“Dressin Up” aims straight for the heart of the dance floor with a beat that’s hard to resist and lyrics that creatively come in a far second. In terms of Complete Confection material, this may be her best. Decide for yourself, after the jump.

We love to hate Katy around here, but she has her moments and “Dressin Up” is on of them. Do you agree? Comment below and let UTG know what you think of Perry’s latest!

Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection is available …

MUSIC VIDEO: Katy Perry – Part Of Me

March 21st, 2012 James Shotwell

The girl I love to hate is back with her new music video for “Part Of Me.”

Having seemingly run out of every gimmick imaginable, Perry uses her latest clip to throw slow pitch down the middle of Americans’ hearts with a tale of romance and military in “Part Of Me.” Perry plays a girl who, while emotionally crippled from a recent breakup, decides to join the marines and serve her country. Some will call it classy, others shameless, but I just laughed and laughed at the thought someone on her team had to pitch “okay, this time around, you’re …

STREAM: Katy Perry – Wide Awake

March 19th, 2012 James Shotwell

A ballad from Katy Perry’s upcoming reissue of Teenage Dream has made its way online and, believe it or not, it’s pretty okay.

“Wide Awake” is making its way across the blogosphere as the most popular leak no one will refer to as a leak (hint: “first listen” generally means the same thing) today following talk the song may be about Perry’s recent divorce from actor Russell Brand. You can decide for yourself, after the jump.

The lyrics for this one are obvious and the connections people will draw to her divorce are as well, but the song could just …

DAMMIT: Katy Perry’s 3D Movie Arrives This Summer

March 7th, 2012 James Shotwell

We knew it was a possibility, but now UTG can confirm pop star Katy Perry will release her first film this Summer.

Confirmed tonight via her twitter, Katy Perry: Part Of Me is the 3D concert event movie no one said they wanted, or knew they hated, until now. Few details are available, but Paramount is releasing and an article from THR rumors Project Runway and Top Chef creators Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz may be producing.

Let’s forget UTG’s hatred of Perry’s recent singles for a second and look at this film for what it is: A shameless …

SINGLE REVIEW: Katy Perry – Part Of Me

February 14th, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Katy Perry
Song: Part Of Me
Album: Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection
Label: Capitol

Yesterday, Katy Perry followed an underwhelming Grammy performance with the release of her latest single, “Part Of Me.” Considering the amount of effort Perry and her label have put into finding the golden sixth #1, the UTG staff eagerly tuned in to hear what the queen of “California Girls” had to offer. For anyone who missed the premiere, here is the lyric video for “Part Of Me.”
