Direct quote from Katy Perry to RR.She knows the rules are changing, that "cultural appropriation" is increasingly uncool, but she's not thrilled about it. "I guess I'll just stick to baseball and hot dogs, and that's it," she says. "I know that's a quote that's gonna come to fuck me in the ass, but can't you appreciate a culture? I guess, like, everybody has to stay in their lane? I don't know."

I think it might simply be a reaction to the piling on. Katy's recently released video for This Is How We Do It is catching a lot of flack. www.dailydot.com/opinion/5-things-white-people-cultural-appropriation/ for example. Complaints against disrespectful representation are deserved but bitching to be bitching just gets tiresome and is counterproductive. |

BrianMaycom @brianmaycom Top 10 artists that hate their own songs! www.take40.com/news/47474/top-10-artists-that-hate-their-own-songs …! Queen and Brian May mention: 3. Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now One of Queen’s quintessential classics, Don’t Stop Me now was hated by band member Brian May – who believed it to be a celebration of Freddie’s hedonistic – and at times risky – lifestyle. May is notable for his absence from the majority of the track, bar a signature guitar solo. I have heard Dr. Bri say that he did not hate the song, but he hated that it represented that part of Freddie's life that he thought to be harmful to him. I'm saying the same thing they're saying but I think I'm saying it better  Dr. Bri has also said that he has warmed to it over the years and understands that it is a fan favorite because it is (I am paraphrasing) unabashedly euphoric. |

As part of an explanation to a friend about why Queen + Adam Lambert was a smash hit and other Queen collaborations were not so much, I was viewing a bunch of Queen Extravaganza performances. What a difference after watching QAL. What a let down. Of course they were not playing arenas, and didn't have a budget for the hoopla that QAL incorporates. But that was not the problem. It was just a bunch of guys (and one girl) standing up on stage doing Queen songs. No costumes, no hip thrusts and ballet turns, no characters and acting, no theatricality, no flamboyance, no showmanship. Boring. Vocally, after hearing Adam sing these songs in performance after performance, so brilliantly, so consistently, so impeccably, I actually cringed at times, and at other times could not continue to listen to the entire song. Admittedly, it wasn't crap. Marc does sound a bit like Freddie at times (tho' he looks like an insurance agent moonlighting as a rock singer), but that does not redeem the performances for me. He sings off pitch at times, he strains for high notes, his voice cracks, his tone is inconsistent , he is just not a great singer. A girl singing the low part of Another One Bites the Dust just sounds and looks all wrong. If you are a fan of Queen's music and enjoy going to live concerts in general, I guess it is an enjoyable night's entertainment. Seeing QAL is another experience all together. Another dimension of (un)reality. I know some folks on ATop don't like it when I or someone else makes comparisons between Adam and other singers. My ears and my mind cannot stop comparing. Sometimes I think we get lulled by Adam's level of performance and degree of excellence vocally and visually. It takes looking and listening to other similar artists or shows in order to appreciate how exceptional QAL is, and what a big part Adam contributes to that. Adam continues to make my jaw drop in amazement.  It is so true! I have serious difficulties with the other singers because I unintentionally compare them with Adam and it's not good for them  |

I, for one, loved Katy's Geisha performance. I thought it was beautiful! I think Katy's interview inspired Adam's tweet, but I also think it goes beyond Katy for him! |

How did Adam directly quote Katy in is tweet? I don't get that, because he used the term "cultural appropriation"? |
