Disclaimer - I'm not a Katy Perry Fan

[dixienormous]

but Roar is kind of my theme song right now.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm not her biggest fan either, but I think I need to hear her new album.

[dixienormous]

It's just the one song for me. Granted, I also put together an "I'm Fucking Awesome" play list on my ipod.

Speaking of - give me some "I'm Amazing" songs to add!

[partiallysunny]

I am a Katy Perry fan.

I have not heard her new album,but an old friend of mine said its fantastic. That she'd finally graduated from the bubble gum pop. Sort if what "Stripped" did for Christina Aguilera.

partiallysunny - get your tissues, lady.

[margarita]

Now I have that song in my head. Gah!

[captainmel]

Sometimes I sing it to River. I also sing him Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons.

I also love Born This way from Lady Gaga when I want to feel really good about myself.

[bowies]

Brave by Sara Bareilles. It's like Roar but better.

[tiramisu]

This one makes me cry sometimes, and I know it's not self-empowering, but Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars is a song I would include. It reminds me that while I may see my flaws, other people think I'm pretty great just as I am and I should try to see myself that way.

Also, Someday I'll Be Saturday Night by Bon Jovi because it's all about people going through shit but they're saying they'll survive and get better.

My ultimate cheer-up song is Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.

I'm having trouble coming up with "I'm Awesome" songs, but two more of my favorites that always put me in a goad mod and give me energy:

Now That We Found Love by Heavy D and the Boyz

My Prerogative by Bobby Brown

[doriswe]

Literally an awesome song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2pgbjPzF2k

[starrieskies]

Doris, I really want that to be my new theme song!

[partiallysunny]

I'll watch that video tonight dixienormous. Scouts honor.

"safety dance" -Men without Hats

"you spin me round" -Dead or Alive or even the Dope version

Both songs always make me happy.

That is my go-to "amp up, I'm fucking fabulous, screw you world" song!!

ETA: My friend made me a mix cd when I got divorced and it was on there....I've loved it ever since!

[tiramisu]

Dixie, your playlist looks great!

What about Livin' On A Prayer? Maybe the lyrics don't work, which is why I didn't suggest it before, but it's SUCH a fun song. Or It's My Life. I think everyone could use a little more Bon Jovi in their lives.

[starrieskies]

Ooooh! I love "it's my life"!

[dixienormous]

Ooooh.. I have It's My Life on my ipod! Adding it now!!!

[partiallysunny]

You are all dead to me.

That cuts me deeply

[Muddled]

I don't think I could name a Katy Perry song if I had a gun to my head.

Well, yesterday I couldn't. Now I know that there is one called Roar.
