Really happy to hear that Katy is going to be on X Factor this week! It'll do wonders for the single and boost 'Teenage Dream' sales even further! Always loved this song since I first heard the album :D

The music video has been filmed but the premiere date has yet to be announced :)

It's hilarious when you think she was performing the third single from TD on the last series around this time last year, now she's still only on the sixth. They've done a good job with dragging this era out as long as possible but I'm getting really bored now and I hate this song. It's not in the iTunes Top 1000 yet and with barely any (none at all?) radio support or video I'm hoping the XF performance will be too premature for the single campaign to have too much of an effect. Because it sucks (h)

This was always one of my favourites from TD and i'm really glad she's chosen to release one of her more meaningful songs from the record. I'm a bit disappointed Hummingbird Heartbeat never made it as a single but hey, it's an excellent way to close the Teenage Dream era imo. Very excited to hear she's also working on some demos that didn't make it onto the record and i'm praying for a re-release! I do think it's a little early for the X Factor performance though, since the song's only just been sent to radio and hasn't had much airplay yet, she could have done with waiting a few weeks longer. Still can't wait to see her next Sunday though :D

To be honest, I hated 'Firework' but I wouldn't wish it to flop because I love Katy Perry! It's astonishing how well this era has gone for her though, isn't it? :P Besides, I'm sure you're aware she has already recorded a hell of a lot of new songs and is currently preparing a new release (be it a new album or a re-release, I'm sure we'll find out soon) :D

I wouldn't say it's her best but I like the tune it is quite catchy!

To be honest, artists don't wait until the sixth single to release the "best" from the album. It has had some amazing reviews so it just shows you how much of a strong album 'Teenage Dream' is. 'Hummingbird Heartbeat' is also single worthy in my opinion although she'd be seriously pushing it, releasing a seventh. It would require incredibly heavy worldwide promotion in order for it to do anything chart wise so it just wouldn't be worth the hassle. She definitely needs to wrap up the album after this single and either move onto a re-release or, better yet, a whole new album :)

How many frickin' singles does she need. The album is only twelve tracks long.

the sasha fierce campaign lasted a year though, teenage dream has been going on for 18 months! and if she re-releases it, who knows how much further it'll go

Like Lady Gaga, she enjoys creating music videos. And if she can get more hits, why wouldn't she?

it's fine for her to do that! I just don't like her music :P

I think this song is one of the best songs from her latest album. Firework is kinda boring tbh.

Well the singles, yeah. The album sales might be a bit disappointing for them, especially in the US

Ffs why did she have to go and perform an acoustic version for the X Factor!? Such a waste of promo, Katy and acoustic do not go well together at all

X Factor is as big as it gets when it comes to promo in the UK. What a shame just wasted it
