The ACCURACY of this.

What hurts the most is how good the music video is. This is giving me Lady Gaga's "Rain On Me" with Ariana, which the gays collectively decided to IGNORE.

It went number one though. You can't tell me the straights alone got this gay anthem to the top of the charts. 

 

It was when this was released, that the gays no longer claimed it

Omg slay! We love our Bubbling Under QUEEN 😍😍😍

[K-man]

Damn she ever brought back the black hair for the people and it still flopped!!  

[Itsme]

She peaked and is done. She trash talked the princess of pop and no we haven’t forgotten and we all got to watch karma take over. I’ll be surprised if she ever gets a hit again not bc of the bs she said about Britney, but her season is done. She was never going to be legendary, only a very select few ever are

I'm surprised it didn't make it into the Hot 100. Did the GP really forget about her?

 Big time; I had no clue she was still releasing music, tbh. Honestly thought she was on American Idol. 
 

Edit: But props to her if she’s made good music; had to add this or the above seemed intentionally mean. 

[I just want more!!]

The song is ok but it’s missing that IT factor.

My theory is that over exposure is really hurting her. She needs to take a real break from everything and make us miss her. At this point she’s like a desperate ex if I’m being honest.

[Alexanda]

She needs Dr. Luke and Max Martin. 

And a new image, the bubblegum-cherry-rainbow-world isn't for you, sweety. 

[Slayer]

Karma’s a ***** 

[NBT]

Release another The One That Got Away kween 

[dran]

I will be honest, I still haven't listened to the song.... and I don't really have any urge to

But to be fair, regardless my opinions about Katy (I thought Prism was the final album I enjoyed), I don't get too excited about anyone's new music now... I just don't care anymore to even try. As Madonna states, "every record sounds the same".

I mean I was really expecting it to be top 40 tbh, but deep down I had a feeling that it won't cut it because of Katy's name. No shade but no one really gives two foooooks about her these days! And am just being honest. Clowns, don't come after me

Did they? It was on in every club over the summer when things finally opened back up a bit, we just cant make things chart alone lol

*gaps* Are you seriously underestimating the power of the rainbow?!

A footnote says: "When I'm Gone" abbreviates to....... WIG. 

[Whyshouldibsad21]

I hope this challenges her to try and create something a little better quality. I like it but certainly don’t love it. She has such potential for hits, I don’t think she’s done.

The song had no promo at I only found out about it via a stan Twitter YouTube video… 

It is a great video, she really went there and gave her fans everything they wanted! So if I was a Katy fan I would be in love with the video  and probably upset about the chart placement but I’m apart of the gp when it comes to Katy lol

never really over was an underrated bop that deserved more tho!!!

It’s disappointing that she is being shut out of the charts rn.  I want to see her succeed again. But I feel like I’m one of the few people appreciated her Smile album. It was a nice return to form but with all the one off singles jammed in there it felt sort of half-***ed. Then she releases When I’m Gone but no new album to announce with it… just makes it feel like she doesn’t know what she wants. She needs to commit to something and seriously get off American Idol to focus on music making. Churn out some albums and really promo with some good singles.

I don’t know what happened with Katy but I’m currently listening to teenage dream it seems her songwriting has gone down over the years! She use to really tell a great story in a lot of her older hits that that really connected with people of all ages

she was cute, fun, Edgy, and ORIGINAL!!!

now it feels like she’s lost career wise, maybe writers block or just lost the inspiration she had. I mean I’m certain it can be hard to always churn out hits. 
 

She needs to find herself again!

[Take me]

Very funny this song is tanking considering Katy thinks she is so groundbreaking and edgy.

I'm sorry, but the song is not bad, but I kinda feel is "detached" from the reality of what the music landscape is now.

I'm not saying that she needs to do the same as everyone, but the song is straight from 2011 or 2016

Maybe she wanted to make a song that sounds like the year she was last relevant…

Are we really celebrating When I'm Gone (From the Billboard Charts) barely surviving in the Bubbling Under Hot 100?  "Top 100 but I'm #103"
