[TV orNotTV] Katy Perry leaving "American Idol"
Katy Perry’s announcement she is leaving “American Idol” caught my attention for one reason. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/katy-perry-says-leaving-american-idol-7-seasons-see-world-bring-new-mu-rcna138582 I saw a clip on TikTok a couple of weeks ago where a talking head on a podcast talked about the staying power of Taylor Swift. One person he specifically cited as fading away was Katy Perry. I knew Katy Perry wasn’t as popular as she was say a decade ago, but I thought she was still up there. Nope. Her last two albums tanked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry_discography The talking head thought part of the reason was because of her feud with Taylor Swift. Perry tried to mend fences. I don’t know how successful she was winning over Swifties. I’ve only heard Perry’s side of the story and from that perspective Perry was right. Perry was going on tour and she wanted to use a dancer that had been dancing for Swift as well. Swift wasn’t touring at tht moment. Either Swift didn’t allow it or there was retribution when the dancer returned. Perry says it’s her decision to leave “American Idol” but I wonder if she’s more of an anchor now for the show instead of an attraction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.

[TV orNotTV] Quickie Review: The New Look
I couldn’t stomach five minutes. The music amped up the life or death intensity… of a fashion show. A dramatic story doesn’t have to be over-dramatic to be compelling or engaging. You don’t have to inflate tension to make a story interesting. I remember when I watched the first episode of Downton Abbey, I thought to myself “Nothing happened in that entire episode,” followed immediately by “when is the next episode airing?” The New Look felt like a textbook example of trying way too hard.
