California Dreams Tour is the second concert tour by American pop singer Katy Perry, in support of her third studio album Teenage Dream.

Background

Vorlage:Cquote

Perry performing "Teenage Dream"

While promoting her recent album, Perry expressed that she wanted her upcoming tour to be very visual. On her Twitter account, she stated, "I hope that it's going to engage all of your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch".[3] The tour was officially announced in October 2010 by various media outlets including Perry's official website, in conjunction with the release of her third single, Firework. In 2011, Perry announced her North American leg during a live chat on social network Facebook. She then responded the tour will be very "super girl power" as vocalists Robyn, Yelle, Marina and the Diamonds, and Janelle Monae will open her shows during the various legs. Perry further stated she will actively participate with fans during the tour on various social networks including Facebook and Twitter.[4]

Calvin Harris was advertised to be the opening acts for Perry in the United Kingdom & Ireland.[5] On March 27, 2011, Perry announced via Twitter Harris was no longer involved with the tour. He cites technical restrictions as the reason for his cancellation. He was replaced by DJ Skeet Skeet.[6]

While Perry had performed at the TSB Bank Arena in Wellington, New Zealand, a 24-year old female was attacked in a mosh-pit situation. The injuries included were a black eye along with small cuts and bruises. The woman stated she was attacked by a another female concert attendee in front of her when she told her to "stop pushing her".[7]

It was announced on Perry's website that she has stated that over $150,000 have been raised for the Tickets-For-Charity fundraiser. She said that the charity supports children's health funds, Generosity Water and other charitable that are available.[8] Perry's label EMI had donated a signed album by Katy herself for an auction for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Auckland. The auction was for the promotion of the California Dreams Tour, where she had visited in New Zealand. The auction closed on May 31, 2011.[9]

Concert synopsis

Vorlage:Spacing

Katy Perry performing "California Gurls"

The show begins with a video screen introduction which tells the story of a girl named Katy who lives in a colorless world wasting her life cutting meat for a mean old butcher. One night, Katy escapes her dreadful reality by falling asleep and visits a vibrant candy land in search for her pet cat, Kitty Purry and also for the love of her life, the Baker's Boy, played by former What I Like About You star Nick Zano.[10] Katy appears on stage and starts performing "Teenage Dream" with her dancers, while wearing a white dress with spinning peppermints.[11] "Hummingbird Heartbeat" and "Waking Up in Vegas" are performed next, the latter accompanied by a human slot machine, showgirls and an Elvis Presley impersonator.[12] She leaves the stage briefly for a costume change while a video interlude shows Katy taking a shortcut that leads her into a candy forest where she meets two naughty mimes who join her on stage to perform "Ur So Gay". At the end of the performance, Katy takes a bite of their magical brownie.[10] Perry then makes a wardrobe change on stage, trading her skirt for a feathered tail while she begins to perform "Peacock", an elaborated feathered fan dance number.[10] Perry continues with "I Kissed a Girl" in vampy torch-singer garb, prefacing the song by bringing a guy on stage to flirt and kiss.[13]

In the next section, a video interlude reveals that the mimes' brownie has transformed Katy into a catwoman, a plan executed by the evil butcher all along.[14] "Circle the Drain" gets performed while Perry battles her dancers who are dressed as butchers before going into "E.T.". with laser beams running across the stage while a futuristic lyrics video is projected on the screens.[14] The show continues with "Who Am I Living For" in which she is strapped up by her dancers with elastic strings and is left on the ground defeated.[15] She is then saved by her two backup singers and moves into "Pearl," at one moment she is lifted in the air sitting in the backs of two aerialists.[15] After a brief video interlude, Katy reappears on stage sitting on a swing to perform "Not Like the Movies".[16] During the performance, Katy is lifted high above the stage as images of cartoons kissing are projected behind her.[16] Katy descends and picks her guitar to perform an acoustic version of "The One That Got Away". Then,she go on to performing an acoustic medley of her favorite songs which includes Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)", Jay Z's "Big Pimpin'", and Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" Rebecca Black's "Friday" while interacting with the public.[17] A giant pink colored cloud descends to the stage and Perry gets on top of it, she is then elevated above the crowd and performs "Thinking of You".[18]

The next section begins with another video interlude where Katy finally finds Kitty Purry and is now headed to the Big Bakers City Ball wearing a blue wig to meet her lover, the Baker's Boy. Undecided on what to wear, Katy starts performing "Hot n Cold", magically going through seven costume changes [13] bursting immediately into "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)". During this song, photos of fans are displayed on the screens.[19] This is followed by a cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", in which Perry and her cat Kitty Purry invite up to 20 fans onto the stage at the end of the number.[11] After a high-energy and sparkly performance of "Firework" the encore begins with the final interlude of the show, which reveals that Katy has been dreaming all along when suddenly the Baker's Boy enters her room dressed in a gingerbread costume and starts dancing goofily.[15] Perry returns to the stage for a performance of "California Gurls" dressed in a silver bra shaped like Hershey's Kisses, dancing with a line of Gingerbread men, and dousing the crowd with a whip cream bazooka.[11] At the end, Perry and the dancers bow to the audience as the curtain falls down.[11]

Critical reception

The tour received positive reviews from music critics. Bridget Jones from Stuff NZ gave it a excellent review. She had said "There was no doubt her fans were left with a truly sweet taste in their mouths after one of the most extravagant and fun performances Vector Arena has seen in a long time".[20] Bernadette McNulty from The Daily Telegraph gave it four out of five stars, complimenting storyline of the tour itself. She had noted "Her California Dreams tour is less of a pop concert and more of a megawatt jukebox musical." They had said that it features all the glitz and glamour, but said that the music lacks a few and it doesn't leave a trace to remember.[21] Jon Mitchell from MTV reviewed the concert at Uniondale and said that "The show stuck so impressively to its storyline about Perry's travels through Candy Land in pursuit of "the baker's boy" that it could almost be a jukebox Broadway musical in the vein of "Rock of Ages" or "Mamma Mia." [12]

Joseph Brannigan Lynch from Entertainment Weekly reviewed the tour through the night in New Jersey, which featured Robyn. He gave it a positive review, but said "Say what you will about Katy Perry—sure, she has a weak singing voice and her songs are mostly devoid of substance—but as a courier of frothy delights and eye-catching effulgence, she’s become one of today’s most-satisfying pop stars."[22] Metro.co.uk gave it a positive review. They had said "The show had a sweet theme and Katy performed in a front of a candy cane staircase against a backdrop of giant lollipops in a characteristically outlandish outfit of glittery fishnet stockings, a sparkly heart-shaped corset and a bright pink tutu."[23] John Mitchell from MTV News gave the concert a very positive review. He had said "It was colorful, triumphant and the perfect way to end a near-perfect pop show" and also added "Unlike many of her dance-pop contemporaries (think Lady Gaga or Britney Spears), Perry left most of the dancing to her talented backup troupe, who were introduced individually during solos to popular candy-related songs."[12] Emily Mackay from NME gave it a positive review. She had said "And Perry, a pop survivor who dodged multiple career failures, a born trier, does. And if it doesn’t work, she tries it again. Harder. Aunty Katy will bat her eyelashes, she will jump up and down, she will pull a silly face. Then she will shower you with CONFETTI! And LASERS! And BEACHBALLS! And CLOWNS! And DANCING GINGERBREAD MEN! Until she sees you crack a giggle. And you won’t be able to help loving her."[24]
