Just because she couldn't wrinkle her nose ...

She may just not be that kind of girl.

I don't know much about the band Perry.  But I think they used to consider themselves country, then intentionally switched to pop.  Most likely, though, they were never really country in the first place.  Real country has a certain feel to it which I wouldn't even try to explain because I can't.

RE- the Band Perry

I worked crew for their show for their "hometown crowd" in Greeneville, TN a couple years ago. They're a faux set of sibling performers who didn't even bother TRYING to lip sync to the ProTools rig that was running through the PA. Milli Vanillli would have been embarrassed by how obviously fake they are.  I have their first album which had some catchy songwriting and promise for potential to turn into a Taylor Swift-style pop crossover.  They lack her talent and work ethic. Country? They're barely music.

I had to endure a bro-country ad before the Band Perry video would even play.  Very painful.

New music by the Band Perry.  If you can make it through the whole song, then you have an iron will.  I couldn't do it.

It certainly wasn't a commercial move, they lost almost all their fans and stalled their career. But - much like Taylor Swift - they felt confined by their former Country Pop and switched to this "Euro Dance Pop" (for lack of a better word). It might have been a sincere move, perhaps that is the kind of music they actually listened to on the tour bus, but I'm not sure it was well-advised.

I think I read somewhere that that was just the music they genuinely liked.  So for better or worse I guess it makes sense to play music you really want to play.  You may not have many fans wanting to hear it, though.

Personally, I don't know what possessed them to exchange a functioning, living rhythm section for phoned-in DJ beats heard a zillion times before and rape Kimberly's flawless, pure voice with auto-tune (as a style element, not to correct her pitch). Perhaps they wanted to sound more like Paramore, but they are nowhere as quirky with their new music, just lame.

That's a good point I hadn't even thought of about trying to be more like Paramore.  But their attempts are just outright boring.
