Katy Perry's "Unconditionally"

[Claudia1]

Is it just me or does anybody else think she says the word with the emphasis on the wrong syllable? It is driving me NUTS!

 

[kimblebee]

YES! I can't stand that song.

Okay, so I had to look up the song and she does say it weird. That being said, it's not so strange for musicians to 'make' a word fit with the music. If you really listen they do it all the time: add syllable, drop some, and make them rhyme when they really don't. It just sounds worse here bc it's the chorus and the title.

 

[jrmasm]

It's awkward.

What drives me nuts is she is horrible live as in cant sing. Ugh I hate auto tune.

Her songs are cute pop music.

Despise that song!

A good singer can still make the word sound like it is supposed to. We have to do it all the time with Handel (he wrote in English although his first language was German, so every once in a while you have to help his English out).

And yes, the song is super annoying.

Sent from me.

I love that song, but yes, the emphasis is on the wrong syllable.

I love the song but the first few times I heard it, I was like

 

[Disneylover99]

OMG YES!!!! Can't stand that song!

I just listened to her sing it live on the American Music Awards. I've never heard it before. I guess I'm not very hip.

My ds12 said "that word has too many syllables for a chorus...sounds weird!"

 

[DisneyFan32WI]

Rihanna says the word "mirror" in a very strange way in her new song. I had to look up the lyrics to figure out what she was actually saying. Now I'm off to see what this song is all about!

It doesn't bother me how she sings it. Although, it don't like the song.

 

[luvsJack]

Love the song, love Katie Perry. It seems like its such a long word and its the way its split into each syllable or something.

I was preparing to be annoyed too but when I just googled it I wasn't . I think she sounds like Pink in that song.

The lyrics and meaning are great but yeah it could of been better words to put it all toghether.

 

[BadgerGirl84]

Bleh. I thought it sounded weird, too.
