The legendary songwriter and producer behind hits for Christina Aguilera and Pink did not hold back during a recent interview where she discussed the Queen of Pop’s current musical direction.
"But of late, I feel she is a follower," Perry said. "She’s following the trends. She’s trying to compete with Charlie XCX and this and that. You know, like everything about her seems weak to me and not powerful.”
Perry continued, “So i would love to get that woman in a studio, slap her in the face a couple of times and say ‘wake up, get back to who Madonna is and what you represent. You know, you are a leader. So we gotta get back there and focus on the power of what her voice can do. Not the power of what auto-tune and effects can do and all the electronics that she’s into right now to hide all that.”

Over Reddit, Madonna fans agreed with Perry.
"Madonna used to be a trendsetter, and since about 2010 or so she's been a trendfollower," another fan noted. "Confessions on a Dance Floor feels like her last ‘great’ album, where she largely bucked what was trendy and said "I'm gonna get back to my roots." But yeah, honestly before that she was on a rough streak -- American Life and Music both feel more trend-chasey than I remember, now that I think more."
Another added, "Sometimes people fall into traps like that when they get older. They start wanting to play it safe and do what everyone else is doing instead of being innovative."
"Honestly, even working with Justin Timberlake felt very out-of-character," a longtime fan pointed out. "Like the woman did not ever really do duets with the man of the hour. And from there it felt like she was trying to get whatever rapper or DJ was trending. And now Sabrina Carpenter, I guess. 20 years ago I would’ve never seen that from this woman."
"She's not wrong about chasing trends but at the same time, Madonna can do upbeat dance music really well," one user argued. "Nobody wants a 100% acoustic ballad album from her. We want another ‘Vogue’ or ‘Hung Up.’ "
"The most thrilling thing about Ray of Light, aside from it being an absolute banger, was that it was so unexpected," a fan recalled. "I think the video for ‘Frozen’ also had a "where the **** did that come from" element to it as well."
Whether the pop pioneer will ever pick up the phone and accept the challenge remains the ultimate question.
