There are MUCH MORE deserving artists who don't get this!

I feel like the only reason this was made was for the money.

And besides that, she's not even THAT popular. Well maybe she is now, but she doesn't exactly write state-of-the-art, memorable, classic music. She's a trend. She most probably will be gone within the next few years like many other musicians.

I mean, even Lady Gaga is more interesting than her...she doens't have a movie.

And i'd much rather watch a biopic about more classic icons, such as The Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson (yeah i know he had "This is It") etc.

I'll probably get hate for this but oh well.

I don't think any artist with dignity would want this.

at least Gaga is boundary-breaking, and cutting edge

Seriously, GTFO with that nonsense.

Gag's shtick is straight out of Madonna's playbook.

Why is there an entire theatrical-release movie devoted to her

It's HER movie, dimwit.

Gags is more than free to make one of her own if she wants to.

And besides that, she's not even THAT popular.

Which pop star has been more popular during the past 5 years?

Well maybe she is now, but she doesn't exactly write state-of-the-art, memorable, classic music.

And how boring would the music scene be if those were the only genres available?

She most probably will be gone within the next few years like many other musicians.

They were saying that 5 years ago... and I'm pretty certain they said the same thing about Madonna back in the 80's.

I mean, even Lady Gaga is more interesting than her

AH! A Gags stan... That explains it.

She's got millions of fans who'd love to see her story so if anything it was made for the fans who will spend money to see it. For me, it was just interesting to learn where she came from.

Lady Gaga can make a film if she wants to and anyways she's created a couple of shorts and wasn't her tour available on HBO?

Also, who is forcing you to watch Katy Perry's film? If you're not interested than don't watch it. You must have forgotten that there are movies and music made for everybody and you have the right to pick and choose and enjoy what you like. And everything is produced for profit. Who would invest and produce something that didn't have anything return?

2 cute 2 listen!

I can tell you for a fact that her fans (just like Bieber's and Gaga's) probably already knew her whole story before they decided to make this movie.

I like Katy. Not her music, just her. I actually kind of liked this movie. But I agree, this movie was made to just to get more money from her fans and to try and buy over some of her naysayers (such as I was before seeing this). It's the same reason Bieber's movie was made: to cash in on the current success and popularity.

Who's one of the newest and biggest pop stars to come out recently? One Direction. And they have a movie about themselves coming out soon too even most of their lives and life stories have already been seen and told on tv when they contestants on The damn X-Factor.

Yeah, we all know movies are products and their made for money but let's not be stupid and act like these type of movies aren't being made to strictly cash in on a current "trend".

i don't have a sig

You're probably saying this because you haven't even watched the film yet.

A lot of the more arthouse musicians (which I assume are the ones you're referring to) wouldn't want to be in a movie like this. Specially Lady Gaga. She rarely leaves her house without a costume. How could they film an insight look into who she really is?

[–] solex10 9 years ago

Actually, most of the 'art house' (alternative rock, pop, electronica, or just plain rock) bands wouldn't mind being a in a documentary-the history of rock music on film (in particular the book Rock On Film, which has an exhaustive set of entries on rock movies [and pop ones] lists a lot of documentaries by certain rock groups like The Song Remains The Same [Led Zepplin] and a ton of others.)

For the record, the band LCD Soundsystem has a documentary about their last concert, Shut Up And Play The Hits and they're not pop, just what they called dance punk. There are a lot of new and vital groups (the thing the the guy who made this documentary forgets about) that would be amazing in a documentary if given the chance (the 2011 Grammy award winners for Best Album Of the Year Arcade Fire would have been great in a documentary, especially during the time of their album Reflektor.) There's also the band Broken Social Scene, who appeared in the 2010 movie This Movie Is Broken, which was described by the director as a cross between a romantic comedy and a concert film.

Anything can be done as a documentary with the artists I've described (and others like them), but they're not really popular enough to attract attention from anybody except alternative independent filmmakers, whose movies don't get much of a big release.
