Katy Perry: Mockery for her low-energy performance
After her eleven-minute room trip around a week ago, Katy Perry worked at the start of her three-day Residency in the Arena CDMX, as if the gravity of the earth was still a problem for her: Perry relies on a concept around a video game setting: Katy as a “half, half-machine” in the fight against an “Almighty AI called Mainframe”. Also that a rather record sciFi storyline, which would be present if the rest of the show were convincing. Finally, the audience, some of which now spends hundreds of euros for a ticket, also expects corresponding entertainment. Superstars like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé know this and therefore drive up a lot live.
However, scenes are now viral in which Perry dances across the stage with a “lightsaber” boar weapon at a snail’s pace-the fight against the “mainframe” seems more like a moody improvisation game than a pop spectacle. Reddit user Frotzeln: “Even children would have choreographed a better fight.”
