Right, the peer review went well, what I noticed was that the prose was brilliant, but the sourcing was distinctively weaker. As the article expands bear these two points in mind—keep up the high standard of writing, but remember to keep the referencing much tighter. I wouldn't nominate for GA just yet, but I imagine when it is nominated, it should run smoothly. The reason why I wouldn't just yet is because there are things which can be improved that weren't problems (as in necessary to change) but from my experience could better the article.
Should Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) also be listed as a genre? Besides the 2001 Katy Hudson album, some of her other songs, such as "By The Grace of God", border on CCM. Can someone with editing privileges update it? Thanks. 68.193.17.157 ( talk) 06:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
I have no opinion of the genre itself, please stick to the topic of the thread. This is a biography of a living person so we include only what is notable about the subject and supported by reliable sources. When it comes to music genre we do not include every genre the artist ever performed or recorded - only that which is supported by the majority of reliable sources as notable. Please read about giving undue weight to sources. Flat Out let's discuss it 22:20, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Her history as a gospel artist is covered in the body of the article. As a genre, it isn't notable. Flat Out let's discuss it 01:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
I disagree with adding Christian as a genre—to me it seems like a niche genre that must pervade through all your music, something that people widely identify you by. For example, when I read over this discussion, my first thought was Cliff Richard and sure enough, contemporary Christian music is listed because he is associated with more than just Christian influences, but actual singing of worship. I think most artists talk about God at some point in their careers, and one of the things that the contemporary Christian music page picks up on in the lead is how lots of artists have been associated with Christian themes/influences, considerably more than Perry, (namely Bob Dylan and Van Morrison) aren't actually considered in the industry (Powell's Contemporary Christian Music). To be frank, I think the current Genres listed are also redundant—is Perry truly a rock or electronic artist? Yes, her music is undoubtedly inspired by these things and I can hear the influences through guitars, drums and synths, but almost all modern pop contains this. And although this is a separate issue to that of whether Christian music should be added, I think editors should read over the pop music wiki page, as I don't think Perry's music expands much beyond that. — JennKR | ☎ 02:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

her height and weight
Any thoughts?
Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 06:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC) I've seen her height listed as either 5'7" or 5'8". Not sure which is correct. Her weight would be impossible, since, like anyone else, her weight is going to fluctuate, and is not a fixed quantity, unlike her height. I doubt that there is any reliable official source that would list it anyway. Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 06:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Mitsyguy2001, XXSNUGGUMSXX—I think you both need to carefully read over what consensus means on Wikipedia. This does not mean we just count votes: it means we must consider all editor concerns and the pertinent aspects of policies that help us reach our decision. Both of your edits were ignorant to the fact that a consensus had not been reached and in fact one of you recognised that in the discussion above. I'm going to take it as you are both unfamiliar with content disputes,and are therefore unaware of third options you can try such as various noticeboards, dispute resolution and requests for comment. For now there is no consensus and attempts to add the content with bracketed explanation will be seen as avoiding consensus as it was made clear by several editors that they believe that the genre should not be added—it would have been much better to suggest the compromise on the talk page first. I know, especially when new to Wikipedia, that the policies are confusing and if you have questions then drop me a message on my talk page and I'll see if I can help/point you in the right direction or to someone who might know. Cheers, — JennKR | ☎ 01:11, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
In the Public image section the paragraph on Katy's religion states she's Pentecostal, but from her most recent quotes I'd interpret her current beliefs as being spiritual but not really fitting into a particular organised religion. Should that sentence be removed? Samjohnzon ( talk) 21:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
I think that someone needs to remove her being Pentecostal as a category. She's not a Christian, and Pentecostal is a denomination of Christianity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CCCD:C059:5C6B:EE84:B1:CEF5 ( talk) 16:49, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
For a while I've been looking for Katy's net worth, and found many different answers. I've been told things like celebritynetworth.com are not reliable, and apparently neither are therichest.com or musiclegends.ca. I would use Forbes, but for some reason it is right now only displaying her yearly earnings and not her total net worth. I feel the net worth should be included given how she's made the Forbes annual listings for most money earned in a year for 2011, 2012, and 2013. So far, the best thing I could find is a Yahoo! article (which I've included in the infobox) from June 2013. If anyone can find a better source for her net worth, by all means go ahead and replace the Yahoo! link with that. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 21:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

I know that all of you guys have been debating over about what her vocal range is, whether she is a mezzo-soprano or contralto.

Hi! I was reading the Katy Perry wiki, and I noticed under the "perfumes" section it doesn't include Katy's latest perfume, Oh So Sheer (released in 2014). It was originally released in the UK, but is now being sold in the United States and Canada as of March 2014. Oh So Sheer is a version of the original Killer Queen, but is only for limited time. Thanks! Katycatlove ( talk) 00:46, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
The current article on Katy Perry states, "Teenage Dream became the first album recorded by a female artist in history to produce five number-one hits". This is a false statement. The 2003 album Innocent Eyes from Delta Goodrem spawned 5 number-one hits as did 2008 album Point de Suture from Mylène Farmer. The statement can be rectified by stating "Teenage Dream became the first album recorded by a female artist in history to produce five number-one hits in the United States" or more specifically "...on the United States' Billboard Hot 100". Remember that the United States is not the only country in the world that makes music or has official singles charts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wspeltont ( talk • contribs) 10:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

In (date on which the concert was recorded, which is found on the liner notes I think -- if you don't own them I'm happy to do it for you), Perry recorded a live album featuring acoustic performances of tracks from her debut album, as well as two new songs. (which you can specify on a note -- like those used on Beyoncé (album), as they aren't really that important to the prose of this article)

This is the video where Katy Perry discusses the meaning of "Teenage Dream": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhBBtqPclf0
The song is not about teenagers having sex. Please stop reverting my edits. I'm sure that W magazine was well intentioned but incorrect in their interpretation. Katy Perry wrote the song, so she obviously knows how it's interpreted. Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 16:18, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
(→) Well if you are that bothered about the "useless" website, then probably this is not a place for you. And this is not a dispute, this is pure original research from your side, without even the ability to provide reliable sources counter-challenging it. You seem to not understand that we do not tolerate WP:OR here. So it does not matter what you think about W magazine or the content they published. Not only me, but Snuggums also asked you to list all sources. Until you can do that, this discussion is moot.

This article says that Katy Perry has a contralto voice type. That could be; I'm not saying it's wrong. I have definitely seen sources saying contralto, but I have also seen sources saying mezzo-soprano and even soprano. Her vocal range definitely includes all 3 ranges. My understanding is that these voice types only refer to operatic singers, not pop singers, and that the range that a singer can sing operatically is much less than what can be sung in pop songs. Katy Perry has had operatic training, so it is reasonable to include a voice type for her. But are there any sources as to what range she can sing operatically, as opposed to in pop songs? Further complicating things is that I believe that a vocal range refers to the range that the singer is most comfortable with. As far as I know, there wouldn't be any way to know what range Katy is most comfortable with, unless she has stated herself.
Anyway, is there a reliable source saying that Katy's voice operatically would be a contralto? If not, since she is a pop singer, should the vocal type be removed completely? Or, if you want to include contralto as her pop range (if such a concept even makes sense), should we mention that some sources have listed her voice as mezzo-soprano, or even soprano? Or are those sources somehow less reliable than the ones that say contralto? Should it be mentioned that her pop range includes all 3 ranges, probably explaining various sources listing different ranges? I assume that it's very common for a female pop singer's voice to include all 3 female ranges, even if she can't sing them all operatically. So, how is that usually dealt with on Wikipedia? Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 02:20, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
well every word I read is true but logically she is not contralto and this site has updated her voice type you should take this in mind

This page (and admittedly several sources) say that Katy's family struggled financially. While I do realize there are sources saying that, there are other reliable sources (including other Wikipedia pages) that suggest otherwise? First of all, Katy's mother, Mary Hudson, was from an upper class background. Both of her parents were wealthy, as was her brother. Also, much of what I have heard about Katy's early life, from reliable sources, suggests a middle to upper middle class lifestyle. There was an episode of MTV Hoods showing the house where she lived as a teenager, and even mentioned the name of the street. I looked up real estate listings for comparable houses in that area, and they go for at least $800,000. Not exactly poverty level. Also, Katy was in private schools (which are not typically affordable to the lower class) through 8th grade. And when she was finally in public school in 9th grade, she was at one of the best high schools in the nation, according to Wikipedia, which would certainly raise the property values in the area. Furthermore, it seems that Katy spent her childhood taking music and dancing lessons, as well as attending camps, and even taking surfing lessons. If her family was truly struggling, she would have had a fast food job to help support her family. Finally, before Katy had her big break, it appears that her parents were financially supporting her, at least in the few years after Katy Hudson failed, which they would not have been willing or able to do if they were truly poor. I do know that eventually (maybe 2007 or so) Katy did hit bottom financially and her car was impounded and she asked her brother for money (which he did not have), but her parents likely cut her off at some point before that. I find the notion that Katy struggled financially to be dubious, especially given what is known about her mother's family. I realize that people like a "rags to riches story", but I feel that some sources may overplay some financial difficulties in order to make her family appear poorer than they really were. Even if Katy's parents' income would have put them below the poverty line, the family almost certainly inherited money from Katy's mother's parents when they died (both died before Katy was born). So saying that they struggled financially is extremely misleading. Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 17:43, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
For Years Active, why does it say 1997-Present? Katy's first album ("Katy Hudson") was released in 2001, not 1997. Katy would have been only 12 years old for most of 1997 (she would have turned 13 on Oct. 25, 1997), and I've never heard that she was "active" in the music industry at that age. The page definitely makes no reference to any way that she was active at that age. Shouldn't it be changed to 2001-Present? Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 05:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I was reading the Katy Perry wiki, and I noticed under the "perfumes" section it doesn't include Katy's latest perfume, Oh So Sheer (released in 2014). It was originally released in the UK, but is now being sold in the United States and Canada as of March 2014. Oh So Sheer is a version of the original Killer Queen, but is only for limited time. Thanks! Katycatlove ( talk) 00:46, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
The current article on Katy Perry states, "Teenage Dream became the first album recorded by a female artist in history to produce five number-one hits". This is a false statement. The 2003 album Innocent Eyes from Delta Goodrem spawned 5 number-one hits as did 2008 album Point de Suture from Mylène Farmer. The statement can be rectified by stating "Teenage Dream became the first album recorded by a female artist in history to produce five number-one hits in the United States" or more specifically "...on the United States' Billboard Hot 100". Remember that the United States is not the only country in the world that makes music or has official singles charts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wspeltont ( talk • contribs) 10:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Since the peer review bot closed this before Ritchie333 and Binksternet were able to finish their complete reviews during the peer review, please post additional comments here. I will take this to FAC by the end of the month, and want this to be as high quality as possible beforehand. SNUGGUMS ( talk · contribs) 03:25, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
In (date on which the concert was recorded, which is found on the liner notes I think -- if you don't own them I'm happy to do it for you), Perry recorded a live album featuring acoustic performances of tracks from her debut album, as well as two new songs. (which you can specify on a note -- like those used on Beyoncé (album), as they aren't really that important to the prose of this article)
More to come tomorrow. By the way, could you ping me so I don't forget? Haha. pedro | talk 01:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

This is the video where Katy Perry discusses the meaning of "Teenage Dream": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhBBtqPclf0
The song is not about teenagers having sex. Please stop reverting my edits. I'm sure that W magazine was well intentioned but incorrect in their interpretation. Katy Perry wrote the song, so she obviously knows how it's interpreted. Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 16:18, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
(→) Well if you are that bothered about the "useless" website, then probably this is not a place for you. And this is not a dispute, this is pure original research from your side, without even the ability to provide reliable sources counter-challenging it. You seem to not understand that we do not tolerate WP:OR here. So it does not matter what you think about W magazine or the content they published. Not only me, but Snuggums also asked you to list all sources. Until you can do that, this discussion is moot. Take your time and go find sources, then come and revisit this discussion. — Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:28, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
This article says that Katy Perry has a contralto voice type. That could be; I'm not saying it's wrong. I have definitely seen sources saying contralto, but I have also seen sources saying mezzo-soprano and even soprano. Her vocal range definitely includes all 3 ranges. My understanding is that these voice types only refer to operatic singers, not pop singers, and that the range that a singer can sing operatically is much less than what can be sung in pop songs. Katy Perry has had operatic training, so it is reasonable to include a voice type for her. But are there any sources as to what range she can sing operatically, as opposed to in pop songs? Further complicating things is that I believe that a vocal range refers to the range that the singer is most comfortable with. As far as I know, there wouldn't be any way to know what range Katy is most comfortable with, unless she has stated herself.
Anyway, is there a reliable source saying that Katy's voice operatically would be a contralto? If not, since she is a pop singer, should the vocal type be removed completely? Or, if you want to include contralto as her pop range (if such a concept even makes sense), should we mention that some sources have listed her voice as mezzo-soprano, or even soprano? Or are those sources somehow less reliable than the ones that say contralto? Should it be mentioned that her pop range includes all 3 ranges, probably explaining various sources listing different ranges? I assume that it's very common for a female pop singer's voice to include all 3 female ranges, even if she can't sing them all operatically. So, how is that usually dealt with on Wikipedia? Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 02:20, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
well every word I read is true but logically she is not contralto and this site has updated her voice type you should take this in mind

and her range is not in a contralto voice type at all so either remove the voice type or approve on the info i gave and the site is not a fan site or ruled by immature people they all are professional 77.44.187.36 ( talk) 22:09, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
This page (and admittedly several sources) say that Katy's family struggled financially. While I do realize there are sources saying that, there are other reliable sources (including other Wikipedia pages) that suggest otherwise? First of all, Katy's mother, Mary Hudson, was from an upper class background. Both of her parents were wealthy, as was her brother. Also, much of what I have heard about Katy's early life, from reliable sources, suggests a middle to upper middle class lifestyle. There was an episode of MTV Hoods showing the house where she lived as a teenager, and even mentioned the name of the street. I looked up real estate listings for comparable houses in that area, and they go for at least $800,000. Not exactly poverty level. Also, Katy was in private schools (which are not typically affordable to the lower class) through 8th grade. And when she was finally in public school in 9th grade, she was at one of the best high schools in the nation, according to Wikipedia, which would certainly raise the property values in the area. Furthermore, it seems that Katy spent her childhood taking music and dancing lessons, as well as attending camps, and even taking surfing lessons. If her family was truly struggling, she would have had a fast food job to help support her family. Finally, before Katy had her big break, it appears that her parents were financially supporting her, at least in the few years after Katy Hudson failed, which they would not have been willing or able to do if they were truly poor. I do know that eventually (maybe 2007 or so) Katy did hit bottom financially and her car was impounded and she asked her brother for money (which he did not have), but her parents likely cut her off at some point before that. I find the notion that Katy struggled financially to be dubious, especially given what is known about her mother's family. I realize that people like a "rags to riches story", but I feel that some sources may overplay some financial difficulties in order to make her family appear poorer than they really were. Even if Katy's parents' income would have put them below the poverty line, the family almost certainly inherited money from Katy's mother's parents when they died (both died before Katy was born). So saying that they struggled financially is extremely misleading. Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 17:43, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
For Years Active, why does it say 1997-Present? Katy's first album ("Katy Hudson") was released in 2001, not 1997. Katy would have been only 12 years old for most of 1997 (she would have turned 13 on Oct. 25, 1997), and I've never heard that she was "active" in the music industry at that age. The page definitely makes no reference to any way that she was active at that age. Shouldn't it be changed to 2001-Present? Mitsguy2001 ( talk) 05:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
