Bonnie McKee - American Girl

[@bartsimpsonsimpson3367]

She came in to the restaurant I worked in 2015 at Universal Studios Hollywood. She was so excited that I recognized her. I was so excited about how excited she was. She stands out with her hair, but there's a zillion women in Hollywood that would make a guy stop in their tracks. So when I asked "Are you Bonnie Mckee!?" her eyes lit up like Christmas.

You can't? 1) Awful lyrics 2) Desperate performance 3) Glamorizing crime as "American" Unless there was a deeper message, it's unappealing and excessive at the surface. I am happy she found success as a writer, but Bonnie needed her best stuff for herself. This was catchy, but it wasn't a great image.

[@wavefront9221]

This is a really fascinating song. I always viewed it as another Teenage Dream-esque party anthem, but the lyrics are actually more of a critique of American culture rather than the typical vague praising of it. It’s also bleakly accurate. Everyone is being raised by TV and competition is at an all time high.

Most of you people don't realise she is the reason why Katy Perry has become such a success... she wrote "California Gurls", "Birthday", "Teenage Dream", "Last Friday Night" , "Roar", "Unconditionally", "The one That Got Away", and also wrote many songs for Kesha like "Tik Tok", "Die Young", etc.

[@mmmmmmmonica]

Caitlyn Webb What does that have to do with anything?

[@TheAtomicSynth]

Yeah but she gets paid by the record company. Katy Perry has become a huge hit also because of her life outside of the music. Her celebrity stardom. If those songs were given to a fresh out the box unkown artist... it wouldnt catapault them to greatness

The stress of school only compared to not being able to go to college because I had to work to pay my bills? Super sucky. Adulthood is beyond stressful; paying for housing, utilities, food, car maintenance/insurance & health insurance (and having to pick a health insurance plan without any help) annnd hoping that your paychecks will be able to cover the expenses due or that the bills you can’t pay don’t have late fees that are super expensive / if you overdraft your bank account that you can repay it before overdraft fees quadruple...

Also, I just googled it (out of curiosity) and apparently Roar was written by 5 people, and Katy and Bonnie are listed as "accompanying" the writing process. So she didn't really write Roar, did she?

[@charlesbutton4770]

I adore this song and her and I will never understand her lack of being launched as a publicized artist...so If you miss bonnie ever see this your the best...plz keep making music xoxo

The rude comment's funny. For the americans responding to my message, I don't hate you guys. All I'm saying is that I think it's sad that American girls feel like they need to be extremely sexual and out there to be liked. I just wish they could understand that being themselves and having their own standards is important. More important than being the stereotypical girl/singer.

Why is everyone so hypercritical these days? Can't someone just have fun and make music without so much judgment? Not to mention most of the judgment is based on looks, age, weight, etc..? The song is produced well, video is also produced well, it's catchy, fun, quirky, aesthetically pleasing. Just chill out, people!

This may very well be one of the Greatest Pop Songs ever written, where most of America can relate and the video is Arguably one of the most Beautiful, Psychedelic and Outrageous Displays of Pop Art Fun, I've ever seen, not to be taken too seriously and emotional and thought provoking in just the right moments, a balance of Sexy and Edgy, without going overboard. It captures a moment of the United States, when we were still Innocent, before 2015 America.
