I'm a HUGE KatyCat, and Katy is one of my biggest role models, she's talented, kind and is a living proof that if you can be yourself, you can be anything. Katy tells us to live our life with fun, and no regrets, life is too short to be anything but happy!The movie is made of concert scenes, behind the scene and home footage, and more. It talks about Katy's life, and how she became what she is today, and follows her to her 2011 successful tour, California Dreams Tour. She talks about her childhood and past, and her family, team and other celebrities (Jessie J, Adele, Rihanna etc..) are also introduced as guests too.I guess it's suitable for her fans, and even some of her non-fans too. See the movie and I bet you won't be disappointed!

I have 501 movies in my collection. This is, by far, the best in my collection. this is the most underrated movie of all time!! I cannot believe the crap rating for this on IMDb! and Rotten Tomatoes! this deserves a 10/10 on this site, and on RT, 23% of critics don't know what the hell they are talking about!! it deserves a 100% rating with an average of 10/10, not 77% with an average of.. WHAT?! 6.5/10??? RUBBISH!!!! I think a lot of movies are underrated, such as Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Toy Story , Temple Of Doom, Last Crusade, Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, Tintin, Madagascar 3, Smurfs, Abraham Lincoln: VH and probably hundreds more, but this is the most underrated of them all! But I am probably the biggest fan of Katy Perry out there, so I will probably disagree with your opinion, and this site's and rotten tomatoes'. if this review was helpful to you, I'm proud to be of service! If not... well, I'll disagree with your opinion like I said above. Until next time. Au Revoir!

"Thank you all for believing in my weirdness," a perky, heavily dolled-up Perry states to her rambunctious audience in her self-titled documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me, arguably the best concert film I've seen since Michael Jackson's This Is It. When I say "concert film," be advised I am using it in its loosest form. Perry is shown as a compassionate, self-aware, completely genuine enigma throughout the picture and the compilation of concert clips have some of the most impressive theatricalities I've seen in recent times. To put it simply, the set designs as a whole look as if Willy Wonka was the hired contractor.Perry exploded into the mainstream scene in 2008 when her song "I Kissed a Girl" burst onto peoples' radios, playing the infectious pop instrumentals which were equipped with "good girl gone bad" style lyrics. It was a fun little jam that you wanted to hear again instantly after it was done. Prior to the breakthrough of her single, Perry was attempting to get recognition with her gospel songs and her acoustic guitar. Despite being raised with extreme Christian theology by her parents, she realized that it most likely wasn't going to get her broad recognition in the music industry. She needed to do something catchy, fun, and slightly provocative.Her "debut album" (second to only a gospel rock one released seven years prior), One of the Boys, was released the same year and welcomed over one million sales, making Perry, officially, one of the most successful new artists in 2008. But she wasn't done. She had a plethora of quirkiness to show her new fans. Then came Teenage Dream, another record breaking album boasting five number one hits, including "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", and "Part of Me" - a record previously held by only Michael Jackson. For a while, it was impossible to turn on a radio for more then ten minutes and not hear one of these songs.Part of Me centers itself around Perry's stage shows, but isn't hesitant to dig into her personal life to get a deeper look at the perky woman herself. We see her acting unusually graceful to her assistants, costume designers, managers, etc (I was reminded of the way Conan O'Brien treated his management team in Conan O'Brien Can't Stop and how disrespectful he was most of the time), and there are times we see her without any makeup on - a complete rarity in many documentaries showcasing an idolized talent.Seeing Perry interact with her fans is a charming, often uplifting event that brings a smile to not only the fan's faces but also ours. We see Perry in touch with her fanbase because, as we're told from the start, "she knows what it's like to be that girl in the audience." Even the gooey, often cheesy scenes where we see crazed fans do an amateur rendition of one of her songs we can't help but crack a loose smile. We think of the woman's ingenuity and spirit which clearly rubs off on her extensive line of fans.But unfortunately, tragedy brews, and we are not robbed of scenes of Perry crying, lying around, or simply, broken-hearted. We see her deeply affected by her divorce with Russell Brand. We can see love still reigns in her eyes, but the relationship is sadly, a toxic area for the both of them. They are scarcely seen together in the documentary, and because of conflicting schedules, which the film tactfully makes note of, we can assume this is a contributing reason to the breakup.This is where most concert documentaries would ham up the sad music, show a star in distress, only to have them brush away the tears and continue on within the next few minutes. We saw it in Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but Katy Perry: Part of Me dares to humanize an artist victim to a heavy schedule and a majority of problems the people and the media tend to scrutinize or simplify beyond comprehension. My number one complaint with movies of this kind is that, most of the time, they serve little to no purpose. Bieber's documentary and Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D provided some nice music and pleasant visuals, but the whole thing felt like a vehicle, incomplete and victim to unusual timing. If they are filmed nicely, offer insights, properly depict the artist at hand, and try to branch out to others and not conform to the ones firmly gridlocked in the fanbase, I will throw the bone. The bone has been thrown to Katy Perry: Part of Me.Starring: Katy Perry. Directed by: Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz.

Katy Perry is set to headline one of the acts during this month's Singapore Formula One Grand Prix week, but so much has changed in her life since her last visit some two years ago, where she held court during her press conference at Marina Bay Sands' rooftop pool, and cajoled the media into entering the infinity pool with her. Since then, so much has changed, with her embarking on a world tour, getting married to British comedian Russell Brand, followed by separation and divorce, and then there's this film.Katy Perry: Part of Me follows the documentary style that's somewhat established by the filmmakers of Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, which was screened last year, where the structure intersperses her live concert numbers with the documentary moments that see the usual talking head interviews with friends, family and fans, capturing the flavour and fervour that is all things surrounding this pop princess, who had sealed the real deal for herself through her albums, given that she has tremendous talent in writing her own songs drawn from so many things she wishes to express, appealing to her teenage demographic for various inspirational messages underlying her music, and that down to earthliness in her in wanting to genuinely connect with her fans, coupled with that sunshine, always smiling persona that's really appealing.I have to admit I do listen to some of her songs when they're played over the airwaves, and know little about the singer, other than her very kooky persona that thankfully didn't border too close to the more eccentric Lady Gaga. Part of Me the film provides a sneak peek into the day into the life of a current pop star, and the efforts she had put into building her career and lifting herself from obscurity, riding on the explosion of her popularity, yet keeping everything grounded in not forgetting the people who had put her there, from her production team, fans, and family. Or pulling along those who are in the same boat as her, in starting out, and getting them under her fold to help develop their careers at the same time. These are qualities rarely seen.Fans will already know of her gospel singing background and beginnings, being the daughter of travelling preachers, which makes it a almost like a natural progression to serve in the church and singing gospel songs. And from there, after a stint in Los Angeles that's really heading nowhere, fate played a part in getting the right doors opened for her, and through her very positive personality, charted history.Thie film chronicles her juggling of her year long world tour in 2011, the first the singer ever embarked on, providing us a look at the preparation, venues, and basically how things move like clockwork from point to point. It's a fairy tale like setting during her concert, and this pop princess holds court in bringing her audiences and fans into a make believe world filled with pastel colours, and larger than life sets, coupled with fun, Katy Perry style. And those who may have thought that she was a tad impulsive with her marriage, would do themselves a favour in seeing the effort she puts in to jet set from place to place just to spend quality time with Brand. The documentary doesn't shy away from exploring what actually happened, and how it affected her during the tour, albeit more behind the scenes. What I felt was besides the distance, perhaps a little bit of a professional jealousy and envy also got into play, with one clearly the more popular than the other, which may have ruffled some bruised egos without her knowing.Ever the consummate professional, you can sense her pain as she decided to soldier on, not wanting to let the thousands of fans down at each venue. There was a scene that was quite poignant, where she was breaking down backstage, but at the moment she has to go on, off goes the tears, and in comes the smile. It's not easy and some may be quick to say it's hypocritical, but having done so, it's not to disappoint her fans who are present for a good time, and you can imagine the pain in making others happy, while crying alone inside.The more famous songs of hers get full air play and concert treatment, so it will appeal to fans, and non fans who would probably have heard the song somewhere else. After watching this, I've new found respect for the singer, and is just a tad tempted to get tickets to watch her perform in Singapore live in a few weeks time. Recommended!
