Jun 21, 2017It's amazing see Katy trying something dark and different of her previous records. Just listen Witness with open mind and open heart and you'll see the evolution of Katy Perry! #Peace
-
Jun 21, 2017The Witness is excellent critics do not know what is music Katy deserves to be well recognized and win a Grammy for her effort..... Parabéns Katy Quenn
-
Jun 20, 2017Could not understand what she wanted to do with this album. No matter what, it did not work. Let's wait for the next one. PS: Power should be released as a single urgently.
-
Jun 20, 2017El álbum es una pieza de superación y de liberación la cual el publico hace de testigo para ver el cambio y el progreso de un artista, en este caso de la creado "Katy Perry". Haciendo de este un álbum con letras y sonidos nunca antes tocados por la artista; adentrando tantos puntos de vista la cual solo se gana la critica como algo negativo dejando solo 1/3 de algo positivo para esta.

Jun 20, 2017Her worst album. Katy Perry lost her soul in this work, i can't feel her. Prsim was even more mature. I don't think if she's going to sell again like she did before.
-
Jun 19, 2017this is a great album with horrible lyrics but amazing rhythms, fail in everything, doesn't have a style, poorly pop and songs that will become something forgettable
-
Jun 19, 2017el disco del milennia obvia mejor que el de taysburla pasando la TRASH89 pero esto es un flop como el disco de la tia muerta de gaga horrora ya hasta la tia muerta esta mas viva que el pop en 2017

Jun 19, 2017This is the best record of the year, the best album vocally and production. The best album of her, I love Teenage Dream but Witness is very good. I can't have bad reviews for Witness, this album is so amazing!
-
Jun 18, 2017I do not understand why Katy Perry dosn't move on? She stands still since 2011. Witness is the same album as Teenage Dream, Prism. Swish Swish is Truffle Butter...

Jun 18, 2017Stuck in a limbo between attempting to be heartfelt and attempting to be fun, of which it was neither, this annoying work proved to be nothing but a money grab stemming from the monotonous and uninspiring melodies. My Score: 70/180 (Bad) = 3.9/10

Jun 17, 2017Album of the year. Songs are filled with emotions. They suit to every mood. It's a completely new story. The story of Katheryn Hudson. Just listen to it and you'll understand how perfect this record is.
-
Jun 17, 2017É horrível isso, horrível, horrível, horrível, horrível, um espanto, horrível, horroroso, me fez mal. jesus, muito ruim esse álbum, parece feito por iniciantes
-
Jun 17, 2017A vast differentiation from Katy's old music. At first listen, it may seem dreary and repetitive, it does take a few listens to warm up, and become accustomed to the different beats and sounds of each song. Half of the album can be added to your playlist for continued listening, with few very leaving an impact.
-
Jun 17, 2017Definitivamente o melhor álbum da carreira da Katy. A gente percebe o seu amadurecimento musical a cada música que ouvimos. Meus parabéns, Katy. Eu como seu fã há 6 anos estou muito orgulhoso.
-
Jun 17, 2017This is the best album this year! Katy Perry voice is just superb! All the songs in the album are different, they want to come back all the time! Perhaps this is the best work!
-
Jun 17, 2017This album is awful. The worst one of the year. Katy's albums were always disgusting, but **** is the best example of tastelessness. Trasherina forever!
-
Jun 17, 2017Sonoramente poluído e confuso, não tem personalidade e muito menos uma mensagem e um álbum amador pra uma cantora que esta em sua zona de conforto sem astucia para se arrisca ou compor seu próprio álbum.
-
Jun 16, 2017Pra um artista dona de grandes hits como a Katy Perry esse álbum foi o fim da sua carreira. Músicas sem graça e singles mal escolhidos onde a única razoável é a que recebe o nome do álbum. Sinceramete esperava bem mais.
-
Jun 16, 20174 anos depois do auge do seu último álbum, Katy Perry nos entrega o que talvez seja o álbum mais mediano de sua carreira. Com uma sequencia de singles nada favorecida, o álbum parece ser feito em cima da hora. Mas não se engane, o álbum tem sim momentos de ouro: Save As Draft comprova isso.
-
Jun 16, 2017Oh Katy, basic lyrics, basic sounds, really did you prepared this for 4 years? The worst album of the year, bad singles, and you deserve the yellow critique.
-
Jun 16, 2017This is Katy's worst album to date. Every song sounds the same, and the production is lifeless. There isn't one song that can be a single, and she isn't challenging herself yet again. It's just the same old same old mediocre Katy.
-
Jun 16, 2017
-
Jun 16, 2017Horrible. Commenting on the concept of the album cover, Perry said, "Music has allowed me to travel, which has reeducated my mind and changed my perspective on so much, so my education and my consciousness comes from my voice, and that's how I see, and that's how I witness you and that's how you witness me and that's why the eye is in the mouth."
-
Jun 16, 20170 CALIDAD.
El pasado 9 de junio salió a la venta Witness de Katy Perry, el quinto trabajo de estudio de la cantante de éxitos como I Kissed a Girl, Teenage Dream, Part Of Me, Roar o Dark Horse. Llega más de 3 años después de PRISM y es el primer álbum de Katy Perry descrito, por la propia cantante, como purposeful pop, es decir, de pop con propósito o comprometido. -
Jun 16, 2017This album is a hot mess! I love Katy but nothing matches here, the ballads are weak (usually they are wonderful in her albums) and the song that gives title to the album is a failure. The singles are really the highlights of 'Witness', Pendulum and Power are good though. But they seem to not fit in the concept of the album, if there is one.
-
Jun 16, 2017Bad lyrics and rare vocals. Igave a 3 only for the production.
3 singles = 3 colaborations = Katy sub-rated.
Witnes is a bad album. The fans don´t like it. -
Jun 16, 2017She is definitely more mature than in her previous albums. Good songs, most of then have the potential to become single, except for songs like Bon Appétit, which has already released as single.
-
Jun 16, 2017Com Witness, Katy Perry sai de sua zona de conforto e se mostra como mulher vulnerável e forte. Os vocais estão maravilhosos, os arranjos são fenomenais e as letras inspiradoras e acolhedoras.

Jun 15, 2017Of course, the best album ever released, Teenage Dream was very childish, but Witness is actually the album I hear without skipping tracks. More of the same in the head of those who think that is a critic of truth.
-
Jun 15, 2017While the media is trying to bury Katy (as loyal Taylor stans it is), it is also ignoring her maturation on her music. This album is full of concept and deserves more than biased opinions; Katy is tired of generic pop.
-
Jun 15, 2017is funny when you realize that "music experts" hate Katy but they love Selena gomez or Taylor swift trash. but they are "experts" lol. Denifitely is one ther best albums, new sounds, great beats, great vocals and lyrics. Just a great album.
-
Jun 15, 2017Such an amazing comeback from Katy! The four year wait was well worth it. Witness and Pendulum are definitely the two best songs on the album but every song is great!
-
Jun 15, 2017This is the first Katy album that can show one insight of the singer's creativity and reinvention. Witness may not be the album completely mature that we were all hoping for, but we have now a clue and a a chance of Katy Perry making footprint in the history of mainstream music, possibly in the future if she keeps pushing her boundaries like she did this time.
-
Jun 15, 2017Lazy lyrics, questionable themes, can't even compare to her other albums. In this album Katy try to be serious and mature, but ended up with lyrics like 'i'm my mothers daughter' and 'Marylin Monroe in a monster truck', this lyrics could only be compared with J.Lo's 'i feel good cause i don't feel bad'. Katy should put this in a box and go looking for her next record.

Jun 15, 2017Good album, great job, Katy Perry.
Top: Pendulum, Witness, Into me see You, Deja Vu, Chained to the Rhythm, Bon Appetit and Swish.
Rating 10/10, by far. -

Jun 14, 2017That´s very boring! is just only a second part of Prism, some songs are just crap, nothing on this album are very impresive, maybe just the cover. I'm disappointed with this album.
-
Jun 14, 2017Her best work. I don't know why the critics didn't liked this. Some songs are such masterpieces, the production are very well and her voice is flawless. The only thing that didn't please me was some lyrics and controversial writing. Like, we have many references to other songs by Katy; Power sounds like Who Am I Living For, by the way. It's an great album, loved it.
-
Jun 14, 2017This is just a generic album with silly lyrics and flat sounds, I hope that katy improves in her next album because this is just a mess, the only good songs of the album are witness and into me you see.
-
Jun 14, 2017katy eu te amo metacritic vai toma no c* THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM OF 2017! It's refreshing to listen to new Katy Perry tunes that I've been waiting for almost 4 years and it's really worth the wait, this album is very different from her other albums, I'm in love with her vocal because is on point and I think she really outdid herself with WITNESS, I recommended this!
-
Jun 14, 2017Typical mediocre bublegoom pop album by Katy Perry. Nothing new, innovative or impressive, always the same. She never reinvents herself. The critics agree with me, no wonder why they are giving her such average/negative reviews, it's what she deserves lol
-

-
Jun 14, 2017Witness, sem dúvidas, é um marco pra carreira da Katy, ele mostra um lado mais maduro da cantora. Porém, o álbum não tem hits aparentes e chega a ser cansativo de ouvir.
-
Jun 14, 2017Her best album til date. Her most linear work, most personal, all tracks seem connected to the concept and all of them deserves to be listened. She really presented something out of her comfort zone. Witness, roulette and swish swish are the highlights for me, but i could mention many others.

Jun 14, 2017O álbum é péssimo, nenhuma música com refrão que te faça querer a faixa novamente. O album não tem um conceito definido e não segue uma sequência agradável. As faixas são mal remixadas e as letas muito superficiais.
-
Jun 14, 2017Most of the songs in this album are total trash with no sense of rhythm, definitely not music you can dance to. The only one worth listening to is the collab with Nicki, and that's because the beat is awesome and she slays her part. Very disappointed by her new music, hope she gets back to making good pop hits
-
Jun 14, 2017The most mature record of Katy Perry, despite of two really bad tracks, Tsunami and Bigger than Me, this is the best album of the whole Discography. Must listen: Mind Maze & Deja Vu.

Jun 14, 2017A great album by Katy with different sounds to their previous albums, an experimental album, with very creative messages, a personal album, in few words I LOVE IT
-
Jun 13, 2017De alguma forma " Witness " soou como uma parada no meio de uma busca por um novo som, uma tentativa não tão bem sucedida, mas que trás algumas músicas boas. "Pendulum", "Hey Hey Hey" e "Save As Draft" são pontos fortes na tracklist, além dos singles "não tão bem sucedido".

Jun 13, 2017Katy Perry nos lleva en otra dirección con su nuevo álbum "Witness", sus canciones son alegres ó de superación este es un nuevo estilo y muy personal de la cantante. Bienvenidos a la era WITNESS
-
Jun 13, 2017Definitely, Katy perry bare her soul with this record. Witness Is a flawless collection of songs about how to be really a human, showing insecurity, weakness, honesty, kindness, humility, thankness and so much Love.
-
Jun 13, 2017For sure the best album, the lyrics are with an excellent quality, without taking away her voice that is getting better. My highlights are with Roulette, Déjà vu, Swish Swish and my favorite Dance With The Devil that is only available in the deluxe version.
-
Jun 13, 2017
-
Jun 13, 2017The worst album of Katy Perry's career. It is disappointing an album that begins with a slight footprint in the title track, witness, go falling while listening to the others. The generic instruments and lack of concept in the album make anyone give up listening to it until the end.
-
Jun 13, 2017I really liked this album. It's a different sound for Katy Perry, but I like it. In the album there are many songs that can become hits. Most of all I liked Roulette, De ja Vu, Miss You More, Witness. This is a wonderful album, Katie develops in terms of music
-
Jun 13, 2017
-
Jun 13, 2017This is certainly her best album. Lyrically and vocally. This deserves more attention, I don't understand why there are some people who give very bad reviews. Songs like Roulette, Power, Witness, and Pedulum are the tracks that in my opinion stand out the most.
-
Jun 13, 20172017 is Katy Perry's year because of this amazing album WITNESS, it's nonsense for giving it bad reviews! I love all the songs in it but here's my favorite songs are Witness, Power, Chained To The Rhythm, Miss You More, Save As Draft and Into Me You See
-
Jun 12, 2017YESSS KATY!! omfg, she is getting her throne back. There is a reason it spent 4 days on the World Wide Itunes Chart! This Album is such a bop. Your fav could never.
-
Jun 12, 2017Spectacular album. A perfect comeback, but as always has some issues.
Some of the songs sound the same, the worst are "Bon Appétit" and "Swish Swish", the others songs are great. Witness and Prism are my favorite albums of Katy, she always doing a wonderful job. -
Jun 12, 2017o album ta otimo por favor little monsters vao perturbar em outro lugar.
power hino imprevisivel, witness musica da carreira, tsunami muito bem produzida, e chained to the rhythm militancia do ano.
katy rainha do pop vamos todos testemunhar o aoty. -

Jun 12, 2017Sin duda un gran trabajo nunca logras decepcionarme. Me diste algo nuevo, con un poco de cada tipo y una combinación increíble. Amo tu álbum Katheryne.
-
Jun 12, 2017It's an amazing pop album with disco beats and fun lyrics, my favourite track is 'Roulette' wich has an 80´s disco vibe, it's her best album yet, and has a lot of good messages you should definetly listen to
-
Jun 12, 2017Um bom álbum. Pessoalmente achei Pendulum e Roulette as melhores músicas. É praticamente diferente de tudo que ela já fez e isso é muito bom. Vale a pena conferir.
-
Jun 12, 2017
-
Jun 12, 2017Tem alguns hinos como Roulette, Hey Hey Hey, Miss You More, Pendulum, e algumas bombas como Mind Maze, Bon Appetit, Power, no geral foi um álbum bem mediano. Infelizmente esse não é o melhor trabalho da Katy Perry, Teenage Dream pisa.
-
Jun 12, 2017
-
Jun 12, 2017Album totalmente sem pé nem cabeça. Sonoridade e produções horríveis. Katy Perry infelizmente errou feito em tudo neste álbum. Não tenho como avaliar positivamente.
-
Jun 12, 2017
-
Jun 12, 2017Painful to listen. It's completely a messy production with forgettable clinched lyrics and horrible lifeless sound. There are full of fake emotions but no originality or creativeness at all. This is unforgiven considering 4 years of waiting. What a shocking disaster! The biggest disappointment of the year!
-
Jun 12, 2017Perry tried to show herself as 'grown up', but songs about sex and cheap diss-tracks are not as good as she thinks. Song called 'Witness' deserves a better album.
-
Jun 11, 2017Melhor album da carreira dela, evolução lirica e musical, chained to the rhythm e roulette melhores musicas do cd e da carreira dela, amem katy perry.
-
Jun 11, 2017O álbum mostra um katy perry diferente do vimos nos álbuns anteriores. Uma vez que dois álbuns que antecedem possuem musicas mais comerciais, mas nesse não. Tem musicas comerciais, mas não é composto só por isso!
-
Jun 11, 2017Definitivamente o melhor álbum da Katy Perry, não tenho reclamações a fazer em relação às faixas do álbum, são perfeitas, são grudentas, lindas e apaixonantes, sem contar que são muito dançantes, faz que queriam um álbum dance, como eu, devem estar muito felizes, pois eu estou! Amém Katy Perry!
-
Jun 11, 2017Katy Perry really topped her previous work with this album. This album showcase Katy's maturity. She stopped trying to make radio hits, and really focused on productions and meaning in her songs. I personally think that this album is her best to date.
-
Jun 11, 2017This album is amazing, she is amazing. Your work is amazing. Best album vocally and production wise.
1. Witness.
2.Hey Hey Hey.
3. Power.
4. Tsunami.
5. Pendulum. -

Jun 11, 2017katy is the queen of pop...
i loved witness even though i prefered teenage dream or prism... we have to accept katy perry is still growing up and changing as an artist and as a person.
you all should listen witness with your heart! -
Jun 11, 2017Ela tem se esforçado e realizado mudanças. Este álbum trouxe uma nova cara a ela! Um excelente trabalho! O nome do álbum não poderia ser melhor. A música que inspira o nome do álbum faz jus a qualidade da artista, assim como carrega uma mensagem que se perdurará no tempo. Parabéns Katy Perry!

Jun 11, 2017"Witness" is an amazing album. We see the real Katheryn: a strong, conscious woman. The production and her vocals are awesome, while the lyrics have beautiful meanings (something difficult to find today). Guess her first Grammy is finally coming.

Jun 11, 2017With dark beats, "Witness" is a meaningful confection. Amazing lyrically, it makes you open your mind about being yourself, connect with others, really see people, understand them. "I mean, you can see me... But can you really see me?". Katy has matured a lot since her first album. This album is a masterpiece.

Jun 11, 2017BEST KATY'S ALBUM OMG love it

Aug 13, 2020While it's certainly missing any form of coherency, Witness does feel like you're growing with Perry - going on this journey that's helped her find new ground and a reinvigorated appreciation for all walks of the pop music spectrum.
-
Jul 6, 2017While she may have slipped down the pecking order, Witness proves she’s still a more interesting pop star than she’s often given credit for.
-
Jun 28, 2017It’s a real shame Witness has come out as a bit of a disjointed mess, as there’s a decent record somewhere in there, but it gets lost in the fog of endless guest productions and co-writes that miss the point entirely.
