Jill Sobule Attacks Katy Perry

Wow. Everyone saying she has 'anger management problems' or that there's a reason you can't copyright a title needs to think through the actual situation or shut the fuck up. Jill Sobule kept quiet and was really tactful for a long time and when pressed on the matter said "Yes, as matter of fact I am kind of pissed off that someone stole my song title and ideas and made millions off it." Wouldn't you be? I mean, I didn't even know who she was until tonight and I know who Katy Perry is even though I don't want to. She built her entire career on exploiting the gay community and she's one hundred percent adamantly straight. Not fair at all.

When I heard the name, I went "WHO"? because I've never ever heard them on WWNC 88.7 OR anywhere else. Maybe this is the reason I never heard of them. Decent talent BUT just not "entertaining" enough perhaps to go out of your way to see?
Maybe just a stunt to finally BE heard, riding on the back of Mz Perry?. Might work.
We've got Danielle Howle down here in South Carolina that has tremendous talent. She backed-up the Indigo Girls on one of their not-so-distant tours. Where's she now?. Doing kiddie songs on the local educational station at 6am. Some people make it big, alot of people don't.

Kate Perry is HOT, she is entertaining. AN artist?. For Gawd Sakes NO. Joan Baez STILL has an incredibly great voice and is an artist. However, I won't go to see her because of all the talking and polticizing and NON-entertaining banter that just beats you over the head.Ofcourse, I always go "Oh NO" when someone has to explain for 5 minutes what their three minute song means.. Joni Mitchell was one of if not THE most boring concert I've ever went to although I loved and have most of her albums. Joni faded away for that very reason from live concerts.

Shad up and SING..

k...i lied.. i wrote a lot because i felt like explaining it so you could comprehend. and second.. you must not notice all the things you've said on this little board. and i'm not the only person so say something about your little comments. and i like to explain in full detail about things i don't like. because i'm never at a loss for words. so, i went against my word because if you want to keep this up i can. cuz apparently you have nothing else better to do. so bring it fool. and tell me about assumptions and how KP sucks, and whatever else you know "oh sooo much about" and you're welcome for the laugh. but little do you know.. you're laughin at yourself. have a nice fact filled day.

i called you a tool because despite what you think you are acting like one. and you are taking everything i say out of context. sure it may seem like i'm coming off like some ahole, but...like i said...you can't act like you know everything. and you keep saying "you don't know me" and bla bla bla...but you continue to bring up some stupid lawsuit that doesn't concern you. it's like a double edged sword.. you can't say "oh KP can't do this, but JS has every right to do what she's doing cuz boo hoo she's upset." the only one that needs to get over anything is the "grown up woman" who resorts to calling KP retarded names because she used the same title as her. big damn deal. like i said, look up song titles, and you will clearly see there are more than ONE songs with the same titles or slight variations of it. and i don't care about copyright laws. again..YOU MISS THE POINT.. there is a market with her name on it. whether you like it, or not. whether you agree or not. thats the fact. so, just get over it and move on. go talk about something else. and stop taking my words to heart. and i am sorry... sorry you can't let this go. i'm just trying to be a voice to the other side. a third party, cuz i don't care either way. but your little friend JS needs to grow the F up. period. facts and lawsuits and copyrights and BS aside. she needs to get over it, try and make another hit song which she obviously has a hard time doing. and make a name for herself and stop trying to ride the coattails of a song that was just "ok" from forever ago. and.. ususally peopel get dropped from labels because they are a loss of money, because they can't live up to their side of the bargain: making profit. so her problem is her and her lack of good songs. and she's just directing it towards KP. anyways.. i'm over this. JS sucks, for what she said. KP can name her songs whatever she wants. and you can take everything i say to heart again.. i don't care. i'm done. and for the record... i'm never sorry for speaking my mind. and fact ... you are a tool, "one iota" haha anyways....

I'm not going after Perry, I couldn't care less that she stole a song title. I care not for Jill Sobule either. I just waded in because some of the posts were just laughable ramblings. Fact - Perry was pissed because an Australian fashion line was using a name that was nearly identical to hers. That shows that words do matter and Ms Perry shows how much it matters to HER. Then she 'borrows' someone else's song title - doesn't that strike you as being a tad hypocritical?

As for cussing in my post - I wasn't cussing AT anyone, just using it as a contextual thing. It's true, Perry doesn't care about you so why do you care about her? I'm not deliberately being antagonistic, but I do like being forthright. I'm not even saying I'm right, just offering up points for debate. If that's unacceptable, then please tell me why?

Fact.. you are a tool. Fact, I told you I don't care. I was just saying that maybe that was a possible explanation. Fact.. i still don't care. you seem to be the one hellbent on taking out Katty Perry cuz she used the same song title. That's a little lame there buddy. Fact, i am not upset or taking anything personally. Fact, YOU were the one who brought up her parents and bla bla bla and YOU were the one belittling someone YOU don't know and have no idea about, saying that she should listen to mommy and daddy, cuz "how dare she do what she wants". that was your take. so, lighten up there kid.

I'm just a rebuttle to your words, and you don't like it. and no, your words don't mean anything to me other than you think you're someone who knows everything. And there isn't a more annoying type of person in the world. so, in your words, "i guess that gets in the way of your little argument." fact, both songs are not that great. Katty Perry has made more singles since then, as Jill Sobule hasn't in the past almost 2 decades.

Good for her that she still has fans. Not many people can say that. And i can really care less about that fact as well. She and you need to get over this whole song title bussiness and name suing crap cuz it's none of your bussiness. it has nothing to do with you, or me. or anyone else except who's involved. so, reply to this with more of your tid bits of info that make you feel better about yourself, because fact : i still think she can name her song whatever she wants. it's just how it goes. and for the record there is such things as trademarking a name, and i'm still gonna say you can copyright a name. cuz i use cher, madonna, and prince as my examples. i'm sure they have some sort of protection over their names. but i'm not gonna waste my time to look it up because fact.. it is pointless.

Yo Jill people can have the same title name to songs you bitch! Katy Perry can do whatever she wants. Shes younger and much prettier than you. Shes also a way better singer u have a sluty voice you whore. Go fuck your self Jill.

Chris, why must you be so insulting. Her parents don't hate her. They came to Birmingham to see her play at the Crawfish Boil-She was brilliant. Is your being critical of everything everyone is saying on her just a reflection of your pathetic self? Why so antagonistic? Chill out, man, and just enjoy the music.

Chris, how many posts did you write on here? you just seem to want to argue, which is ok, but you know correcting peoples typing over the internet is just getting pointless. so is telling people to chill and then cussing in your own response.
as for the katie perry, in these days, you can't really make a hit record on just looks alone, you do need at least some kind of talent or a huge bag of cash. im sure jill knows that as well

Ok if you an't got noth'ing NICE to say? DON'T SAY NOTHING--AT ALL...How Dare anyone say Horribole thing's like Slutt & stupied To somebody Who Busted Her butt off to get where she wanted to be in life ya' hear me? I'm an inspireing singer and songwriter too And I give Katy perry props for doing what she always wanted to do and i'm sorry that spot in this persons life was takin by somebody who proboley never knew, acoures I know how it feels to be called a WHORE and A BICTH! so think befor you speak, oh and by the way Katy you ROCK Girl keep doing what you what you do and let NO ONE STOP or HURT YOU!!!
