50

Katy Perry

2 greats/11 tot = 18.18%

1 good-ish/11 tot = 9.09%

27.27% output is good & up

It was just OK. And I’m not judging that on the sucky Dr. Luke of it all, just the quality of 

the music. And nothing roared, so to speak. There was no heart in it at all. I found the 

songs to be dispassionate, and I’m not sure why. I have no idea if Katy writes her stuff 

now or before, but there is a distance that I feel now that wasn’t there before.

49

Katie Pruitt

2 greats/11 tot = 18.18%

3 good-ish/11 tot = 27.27%

45.45% output is good & up

I want to be blown away by Pruitt’s studio work in the way I was taken aback seeing her 

live. But her Spotify material just comes across too quiet.

48

Jennifer Lopez

3 greats/16 tot = 18.75%

6 good-ish

56.25% output is good & up

Sure, the album didn’t age well because of the recent divorce. And now it seems real 

cringy. But forget the real life PR-mance and listen to the songs in isolation of news, 

and they’re pretty good. They can get a bit too detailed, or gross, but mostly I thought it 

was a set of sweet love songs.

47

Sheryl Crow

2 greats/10 tot = 20.0%

5 good-ish/10 total = 50.0%

70.0% output is good & up

Nobody wants to rank THE Sheryl Crow 47th in any list. And she’s one of my staple 

artists. I saw her at the Pink concert and she was fu(king triumphant! She ate–as the 

kids say. The writing on this album is (I really, really hate to say this) sub-par. There’s a 

lot of repetition, and little substance.

46

Gwen Stefani

2 greats/10 total = 20.0%

6 good-ish/10 total = 60.0%

80.0% output is good & up

I’m sorry to say (really, really, disappointed) that Gwen is no longer that cool girl.  I wish 

she was. That swagger! That attitude of I don’t follow trends or comply with society–I 

MAKE trends and bend society to my will. God she was awesome! I wish she didn’t 

take on the persona of every boyfriend. And I wish she would be more carefree and 

less Kardashian about her age. Give aging a fu(k you-don’t turn to plastic! In the way 

her face conveys this anti-cool, more socially acceptable outlook, so does the music.
