I know it's off topic, but why do you think that Katy Perry is the worst mainstream vocalist right now?

I'm not an expert, but I had some professional vocal training and am interested in the topic, so I'm glad when I can present some interesting information
I mainly find Katy to be...sub-par for her live vocal abilities. You see, singing isn't just hitting the notes or belting a random vocal-run, it's also about harmonizing with the instruments and background vocals, dynamics, breath control...and Katy lacks in all of these areas. She has a very nice tone and generally sounds good on studio recordings, but when you hear her live she's usually all over the place, her notes are off, she is singing completely wrong ones, her dynamics are out of control and she starts screaming...and more often than not she doesn't breath correctly and has to stop her notes early for it.
