She's doing performance art. Nothing to do with Katy Perry. Still awesome.

Yoko Ono, the original Real Life Troll.

Ever think the wrong person was shot in the back back in 1980?

I really don't like her.

Aye, 5280, not only crazy but totally clueless about what is "art." She is the most commercially successful talent-free person ever.

Apparently "art" is whatever you say it is, and if some idiots are willing to pay you for it, you're a professional artist. Worked for Banksy. And worse people.

@1 Not all performance art is good, just as not all abstract art is good and just as not all mimetic art is good.

As a Katy Perry cover, this is awful. As performance art, it is just as bad.

I will not listen to this, no I won't.

What the fuck did I just watch? And why?

Posted by Reverse Polarity on December 11, 2012 at 3:45 PM

I love Yoko Ono so fucking much.

Posted by d.p. on December 11, 2012 at 3:53 PM

I love her commitment.

I voted for the garbage cans, but I've gotta say that there's something really funny to me about her saying she's gonna do a cover of "Firework," and then she just starts screaming. (And when you catch the dinky piano in the background hit the chorus and she just keeps screaming, that's something special.)

@11 That makes me sad.

Posted by TheMisanthrope on December 11, 2012 at 4:49 PM

I thought she was slightly flat on the first chorus.

Posted by Michael of the Green on December 11, 2012 at 7:27 PM

I like that she just tricked you into hearing her orgasm. Rock on Yoko, do your thing.

Posted by youdontknowme on December 11, 2012 at 8:03 PM

an improvement over the original....

Posted by Bemusedchicken on December 11, 2012 at 8:53 PM

Y'all have some main-stream tatse in Musiks, that's fo' Shure.

Posted by Keekee on December 11, 2012 at 10:57 PM

FYI that someone added the piano in after her 'singing'. There was no Fireworks linkage to her original performance

not that this changes anything...
