Seriously, when I listened to it, it basically sounded like a blurry amalgam of every pop song for the last 10 years. Its just so lazy and unoriginal that I almost cried.

And it sounds a lot like "All The Things She Said" by TATU which is infinitely better.

So what do you think? Can you think of a recent major song that has less original production than this gem?

I would hardly call it a major pop song, she doesn't count! It wasn't a major label released song, it was some girl who paid to have a music video made for her for goodness sake

The video is worse, it's like Born This Way. The same level of WTF and creepiness.

Well technically, a completely acoustic song with no production techniques is the "least original" production (though I prefer that over the auto tuned wall of sound).

Its not *bad* per se, but I was just astounded by how unoriginal the musical production on it is.

Yeah it's not breaking any new ground in the music industry, that's for sure, but then not many expect that out of Katy Perry. We just expect her to put out some decent lyrics with a nice beat and look sexy as hell. :P

Amen to that. ;) I expect nothing more or less from my Pop singers.

I like the hook in this song actually. It's not more generic than (insert any song Pitbull has been a part of over the last few years).

I actually like the song. Shoot me :P

Pop has the least amount of original music of any genre in music, so you could include more or less any song in your question and it would remain valid!

You kidding right? I actually enjoyed it. I think it's my favorite Katy Perry song. The one with Kayne West is awful but Katy Perry only version is pretty good.
