Katy Perry Accomplishments
Rise to Fame
Katy Perry has became a very well known celebrity. She started her singing career very young by singing in the church her father and mother went to. She sang in the church from age 9 to 17. At only 15 years old she released her first album that unfortunately was unsuccessful but she never stopped trying. After that she moved and starting working with a record producer. She then produced another album that was also unsuccessful. Until her third album, (which was successful) that is when “Katy Perry” actually started.
I think that Katy Perry is definitely a self made woman. She never gave up on her dream of becoming a star and being successful. I like she has a lot of compassion for what she does and truly loves everything about

    Katy Perry is a singer and songwriter of pop-rock music. Katy Perry portrays her love for modern pop-rock music and performance by presenting it in such ways like in Wide Awake. Katy Perry performed a live music performance at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. The music video kept many of the same features such as the clouds, the shooting star, and the spaceship. Katy Perry’s story in her performance was similar to The Smashing Pumpkin’s music video because in Tonight, Tonight there are two people on an adventure into space and in The Wide Awake performance Katy Perry and a man are together on an adventure as well. However, Katy Perry seems to be in a dream having an adventure. She kept a similar interest about taking an adventure with a significant other and transitioned it in her own art style, which is more of a modern look. There were many of the same set features such as the spaceship, and the shooting star that The Smashing Pumpkins used, and George Melies originally had. The spaceship appears in the beginning of the performance and then the shooting star is towards the middle of the performance and those clearly have a meaning of when the spaceship and the shooting star are placed in the performance. Katy Perry used her performance to represent an adventure with someone, which was echoed from The Smashing Pumpkins. She was able to transcend her art of music into a live performance…

    This is a very different and I find it to be a little challenging assignment. For this assignment we were supposed to choose a song that is influential to us and write about the song. So, I decided to pick the song Firework by Katy Perry from the album teenage dream. This is easily one of my top ten songs of all time because this song tells you that you don't have to be afraid of who you are and who always have to show our true colors to the world. The song was released on October 28, 2010. It was on the number one spot for almost three weeks on billboard hot one hundred. Katy Perry wrote this song because she wanted to give voice to any people who were going through hard times in their lives and also to the kids who were bullied and help them discover their inner beauty and step up to the people who bullied them.…
