    This is the most boring album ever, Katy perry has to try new things. The idea of circus doesn’t make sense with the songs.

    Katy failed once again with this album. Even the critics are not impressed. She needs to grow and release a mature work, but not like Witness, that wasn’t mature, that was just a mess.

    Katy Perry was one of the most important woman on music industry, but she’s just making music that sounds just like her last album “Witness” it’s just not gonna work. Please give us something new
    Katy no more Perry.

    Folklore se cago en este intento de álbum tan más asqueroso y patético. Katy se colgó del nacimiento de su hija para lanzar semejante asquerosidad.
    Mejor que se retire y que disfrute su maternidad. No necesitamos este tipo de música tan más horrendo y para básicos.

    Katy perry nunca teve qualidade mesmo, não é atoa que a discografia inteira é amarelada, além disso não tem prêmios relevantes e nem muito talento, ainda bem que ela percebeu isso e foi apostar na vida familiar. A coitada só tinha os charts pra se orgulhar e hoje em dia nem debuta mais, eu tenho dó dos fãs que ficam passando vergonha no twitter tentando defender essa bomba

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum é gostosinho sim de escutar, mais acho que mesmo com que a Katy Perry passou na era anterior e no começo dessa, é tudo culpa de seus fãns, obcecados por outros artistas, e deixando a desejar com a mesma, Katy não merece seus fãns sei que é para falar de álbum mais vale citar a sua fanbase tóxica, vendo a critica massacrar o álbum da katy e indo descontar a raiva em outros trabalhos superiores a esse. A temática Circo do álbum mostra claramente que ela serve de palhaça para seus fãns que só a amam quando faz oque eles desejam. Não inveje arte dos outros, cada um tem sua maneira de fazer arte e cada um tem seus admiradores. Estou dizendo isso porque muitos fãs da Katy Estão jogando hate para Gaga e mostrando o quão ridículo são indo criticar o álbum dela no metacritic para cair a nota, desde o início da era Chromatica vocês divulgaram os link de vazamentos tentando prejudicar a Gaga quando logo em breve Katy tem todo o seu álbum vazado na internet dias antes do seu lançamento, e mesmo assim muitos monsters mostraram apoio a ela, e outros não devido a esse fato. Vocês tentam mostrar que são foda quando na verdade são apenas ridículos, atacando outros artista quando na verdade suas fav só cai cada vez mais.… Expand
