Katy Perry's 'PRISM' 10-22-2013 —The 3rd Thread—

[Zahara]

From someone else: " in Islam there is no visual representation of Allah as a figure the way Christians have of Jesus Christ etc. (not allowed), so the world representing his name is sacred. you're not supposed to throw away, burn, bury or harm anything with the name allah on it"

Either way, they digitally removed it, so controversy is over. I liked how colorful and bright the music video is.

"I also read that the portrayal of Egypt at the time didn't have Islam in it.
So it's another reason why the symbol was removed."

Pretty much. When I spotted it, I was like "one of these things is not like the other." A bit strange to include that in there...

Weird that so many people didn't like the Dark Horse video. It's an amazing video! I looooove the colors, and it made this one, the first song of hers I like. So she must be doing somehting right.

WW album sales this week: 50,000 (2,476,000 total). @Mediatraffic

[Delicious n Bold]

Atrl says it's 3 million worldwide
Are they being delusional?

[brener]

I really don't know the accuracy of Mediatraffic, but I've read somewhere that it doesn't count 100% of Worldwide sales.

Katy made a gift to her Japanese fans and released a new version of Dark Horse with a japanese rapper called TEE. She performed it last night on a japanese music festival called U-Express. I'm very surprised about it, she really knows how to reach people.

Dark Horse feat. TEE (snippet)



It's already available on iTunes Japan, hopefully it will be available Worldwide soon ^^

[NintendoHTF1242]

I've heard of TEE before. I'm too used to Juicy J tbh so the JPN rap is okay lol

[brener]

It makes me feel a lil guilty thou I uploaded the song on 4shared >< enjoy

^ Thanks for the link <3

I think Juicy J version is the best, follow by Tee and Pitbull's version is just a joke.

[CoriKaru]

I like it.

Don't even know who Juicy Jay is to care that he's not there. Bai.

By the way she told the japanese press that she will come back there in January 2015 with her PRISMATIC TOUR.

That's so weird to me, is it normal for western artists to have so much longevity on the charts in Japan? I'm so used to sales dropping off 95% after the first week lol

Actually it's always been common for western artists to enjoy such longevity, not with great numbers but with steady ones. And nowadays international pop female singers are selling better than female japanese singers.

That's weird, I wonder why that is??? Is it just because western artists promote their albums more in the long run? That's one thing I hate about Japanese releases, they're out and then a couple weeks later they just drop off the face of the planet lol
