Katy Perry: Did she prove that "selling your soul" works?
This is a sequel to the thread linked below.

Thread: Explanation of how and why artists sell their souls

Katy Perry says she "sold her soul" in the video embedded below. Did she prove that "selling your soul" works?

The evidence in her case that "selling your soul" works is irrefutable in my opinion. She recorded her first album her way according to what she believed in. It was a forgettable failure. You can read about it here:

On her second album, she changed her name and changed her style. She went mainstream with a major record label. Changed the themes of her music from Christian to mainstream pop culture themes. Her second album sold seven million copies worldwide, and she went on to become the biggest pop star in the world for a while:

Did she prove that selling your soul works for gaining success?

We have probably all heard the story of Robert Johnson. His story proves to me that selling your soul works, but his life isn't well-documented like Katy Perry, so I think her case is better evidence.

Selling your soul=signing a contract

Music Industry contracts have been notoriously unfair and outright criminal.

Hence, 'Deal with the devil'.


Make sense?

 Quoting: Seer777


I agree with the following post from the thread linked below as to what selling your soul means. For example, no major label could have made Katy Perry's first album a success. The reasons for her success went a lot deeper than signing a contract, and I think the reasons are along the lines of the following post.

I've played music my whole life. I can say with a certainty... it does not matter how talented you are, if your not willing to help promote "the system" then your not gonna have commercial success. I think that's what it means when you "sell your soul" And whether it's subtle or subliminal and never really spoken aloud, artists know in there spirit what they're doing. I've been at the "crossroads" many times. Nobody comes to you and says, " promote the script" or "sell your soul" but I assure you everyone in music, film, or Art all "know".
Even during song writing sessions or just jamming in Nashville it starts coming out of you, even tho you don't agree with it! Almost like just being in a city like Nashville causes you to take the "download" But make no mistake, everyone there "knows" but you don't talk about it.

Re: Katy Perry: Did she prove that "selling your soul" works?



Now I listened to this song I kissed a girl backwards and this is what I heard.

I used to listen to alot of the songs, there is a lot of backwards messages in them and they are kind of shocking.

I used to think , well it's God right, it was a being speaking backwards that was quite brilliant and god like in insight and everything and let's be serious ONLY 'God' could write music and speak backwards and have it have all those related meanings, I mean there are no angels that brilliant.

but at the end of the day, I'm just another damn human guy

Re: Katy Perry: Did she prove that "selling your soul" works?
that backwards speech

I've found it nearly all the greatest music,

there is clearly messages in the music, backwards and in speech but.

it's not what they want to hear, so they cover it up, maybe they are afraid but they want to kill God and hurt him as much as possible because that's what they are, that's what they're like, they don't care if God exists , if God existed they would only want to rape and kill him.

but God has to study them, because they are the gunk in his creation, the flaws and an inherent badness that must be fixed or whatever, the universe is evil and sucks dick, but it is so beautiful if you have money, everything is about money now, God sold us out to the bankers.
