Final reflection

Sadly this will be my last post the this Katy Perry blog. I will be talking about what I learned about Katy and what I found challenging and most rewarding in doing this blog.

What I learned about Katy Perry is that her main achievement to me is that she is the first women ever to reach 5 songs to a number one hit. No other women has done that, nor has anyone but Michael Jackson.

I also learned about her favorite foods. During this project I learned that she loves Thai food, ice cream, spaghetti, and Mexican food. We have a lot in common! I also like Mexican food, spaghetti and ice cream. I also love every song she wrote except the one in the Katy Hudson album that I haven't listen too yet.

The most challenging thing during this Katy Perry blog is finding certain information about her. It was more challenging during the process in finding what she accomplish and what she had recently did in the world.

Also it was a bit challenging in finding pictures of Katy that fit the subject that I was blogging about. Or the picture would just disappear off of my blog and leave a big empty black space on my posts.

What was the most rewarding about doing this blog process is that I learned and studied about someone that I've loved for a long time. I have been a big Katy Perry fan since for over 7 years. Since she wrote "Mockingbird". This has been fun taking some time during school and learn about someone you love for a month.

Another thing that was most awarding is that I learned about a lot of her achievements. Learning about someone that you admire for over a month is great but learning about the great and awesome things they achieve is another fantastic thing to learn. Also I learned about what really happen with the marriage with Russell Brand.

That is why I would like to reflect back on what were the challenging parts of this blog, most rewarding and the things I learned.

The five greatest things

As I reach the end of my Katy Perry blog I will like to reflect on her accomplishments are. Also these are the accomplishments I think are big. The top 5 accomplishments are Marriage, awards, 1st album, multiple Grammy nominations, and 5 songs number one hit.

Marriage, Katy got married to Russell Brand. They started dating in September of 2009. Married in October 23, 2010 divorced shortly after July 16, 2011. " Russell feels there's no point in being married if you don't have kids," an unnamed source told the magazine, adding that, at 37, the comedian is "is ready to move on." Even thou this was a failed marriage it's still an achievement because she married someone famous right before she became famous.(Huffingtonpost)


Katy was nominated and have won multiple awards. Katy Perry is ranked 46 overall in most awards received. She received around 30 awards. She was nominated for over 160 awards. "She's one award behind Bruce Springsteen and tied with Kenny Rodgers, Frank Sinatra and Alanis Morissette." This was important because she was nominated for a lot of awards in the 3 years she was a big hit.(Meteolyrics)


Katy Perry's first album ever released when she was 17 called "Katy Hudson." Even thou it was a gospel record album. "It reached literally maybe about 100 people and the label went bankrupt." This is an important achievement in your life to achieve because even thou it failed she had an album out for people to purchase. (Biography )


Katy was also nominated for multiple Grammy nominations. Her first Grammy nomination ever was back in 2009 for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance." In 2010 she was nominated a Grammy for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for her song "Hot N Cold". In 2011 her album Teenage Dream was nominated for two Grammys "Album of the Year" & "Best Pop Vocal Album". Also in 2011 her song "Teenage Dream" was nominated for the "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance". Also her song "California Girls ft. Snoop Dog" was nominated for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". Lastly in 2012 Katy's song "Firework" is nominated for 2 Grammys "Record of the Year" & "Best Pop Solo Performance". The main reason why I think they are achievement is because being nominated for a Grammy is a huge thing to accomplish. (Googlesites)


Her top achievement ever she achieve to me is 5 songs made number 1 hits. From her teenage dream album "Firework, E.T., Teenage Dream, California Gurls, and Last Friday Night." She is the first women to ever achieve this and she is the second person to do this. Michael Jackson achieved this first. "If you were me, you've probably heard all of these songs everywhere and couldn't get them out of your head for days." This is a big accomplishment because no one else has ever done this before and she has. (Yahoo)

Does Multi-Tasking Effect Your School Work?

Research shows that a lot of students in the US listen to music while they are studying. Even high achieving students admit in doing this! It helps motivate me when I'm at home or even at school doing homework or just studying. When I listen to music while working on school work I usually listen to Katy Perry. These articles helped me find these information;  phenoix.edu and takelessons.com

Should you listen to music while studying? Scientist proved that music with many repeated sections are more likely to become a distraction with you and your school work. Also it is not benefiting for our memory, the brain receives, stores, organizes and recovers information as memory.

Can listening to music help memorize materiel you study? Listening to music enhances your brain but also your using all parts if your brain when you multi task. The right hemisphere gets used when you listen to music and left hemisphere when you study. While you do this your entire brain gets used.

"Don't wait until the night before a big test to determine if listening to music is a good study tool." Listening to music can be beneficial. Scientist proved that listening to Classical music, or any other type with out lyrics, is the best type of music to listen to while you are studying. Also listening to Classical music causes no distractions.

"Music while studying is as distraction." The differences the two sources share is that some say listening to music is a distraction while your studying. But it also helps motivate students while they are studying. They can also remember the materiel they study by making up their own lyrics to a song.

When ever I do my homework I usually listen to Katy Perry. I sometimes listen to another artist but
usually I listen to Katy Perry. Listening to music when I studying it helps me a lot by motivating me.
