[@katymiles2419]

This video makes me really sad, actually. She is so talented but all of her current music does not show any of this off. Kinda like Post Malone and so many other artists today sucked up by the industry and putting out whatever will make them the most popular. THIS SONG, THINKING OF YOU, IS STILL MY FAVORITE OF HER'S. :(

[@RyanGamesYT]

What are you talking about? Post Malone makes amazing music in his genre, however, I do hope we will be seeing an acoustic album of some sort eventually.

[@tuetran9212]

I wish Post Malone would do a rock album to save the genre.

[@MrWeasg]

I agree post has music that doesn’t seem to represent his personality but he has other music that really does. I think he has a compromise of money making music and music for his own artistic fulfillment. I don’t see that compromise with Katy perry

[@alext4183]

Katy Miles yes. Post Malone is such a good singer but now he doesn’t sing now

[@BlackParade01]

Post Malone is still great. His music is nice and relaxing. He should focus more on guitar-based music though, fits him best

[@drmedwuast]

The way she sings it with this whispery voice... can’t get it out of my head. Wish there was ma full version with this vibe

[@laracroftvideos]

Really miss this point in her career. What I loved about her as an artist is that she covered a wide range of themes, emotions, but also had a zany sense of humor and self-awareness. Her recent work sounds and looks like it’s marketed towards soccer moms and children 6+

Master Exploder just because you don’t like her music, it doesn’t take away from the fact that she does have talent. Just like singers for example, they can objectively sing well but subjectively not enjoy their music. Tired of seeing comments like this even when 80% of people who comment things like this don’t even play an instrument or sing

[@BeWellBrandon]

Can we pin this on every video for the hating critics? I don’t see anyone else stepping up to the plate showing their skills off.. why comment that you don’t like something to say JUST that. At least give feedback. And people that come just to be toxic need to leave

[@Syklonus]

There's no such thing as talent. It's all hard work and perseverance, and anyone can do it. The issue is that most people don't have the time. Also, no one is except from criticism. NO-ONE!!! If you start to see any one person as absolutely infallible then it begins to drift towards a cult like mentality.
