Why This Song Disappeared

August 19, 2016 Blind Gossip

athlete headphones[Blind Gossip] We’ve talked before about the competitive process for selecting performers and songs for big events like the Super Bowl.

This song was selected for a very large international event. You were supposed to hear it round the clock for several weeks. Did you notice that you only heard it once or twice… and then it mysteriously disappeared?

Well, we just found out what happened!

Our understanding was that the song was going to be used EXCLUSIVELY in conjunction with our event for the next few weeks, but right after we started playing it, [the singer] immediately went and performed it at [that political event]!

We were stunned. She brazenly gave us the finger and used it to promote a different event. By doing so, she ruined our use of the song. It was no longer associated exclusively with our event and we couldn’t play it anymore without alienating half our American viewers.

We’re sure her side will spin a different story, but that’s what happened.

So in case you were wondering why you haven’t heard that song at that large international event lately… now you know why!

    Must be Katy Perry & the Olympics song (can’t recall name); must’ve performed it in Philly at the Dem. Nat’l Convention in July. (The rigged one. #BernieOrBust)

    Singer – Katy Perry
    Song- Rise?
    International event- Rio Olympics
    Political event- something to do with Hilary Clinton I guess!
    Was the Olympics right to pull the song? Most probably. It will be associated more with political purposes rather than the Games.

    Whatever song Katy Perry sang at the DNC.

    Optional: I don’t understand the fuss. Everyone knows most celebs lean left and Ms. Perry sings about kissing a girl. She’s notoriously pro-LGBT and has endorsed HRC since 2015. If they hired her for the olympics then pulled it, that’s their problem. Alienating half of Americans? I think not.

    They did the right thing pulling the song and I hope they had an exclusive contract. This will also show other singers that they shouldn’t mess with the Olympics. She has no right to use it to promote her political views when she was hired to use it for the Olympics

    If the agreement was the Olympics had exclusive rights, then Katy should have honored that. Also, the song is terrible. I find it to be a real dirge, Gloria Estefan’s “Reach” was a much more uplifting Olympic theme song.

    Optional: NBC did the right thing. There’s no way they didn’t have a written agreement that covered this stuff. And now they’re probably honorary members of Taylor Swift’s squad.

    The Olympics did right pulling the song. Exclusive means exclusive – neither party can’t just change the terms whenever and however they want. Plus, she could have waited a couple of weeks and then made it “exclusive” for some other event.

    [Optional] Did the large international event do the right thing by pulling the song? Yes. I like Katy Perry. I like her songs, along with this one. However, by singing it at one of the political conventions she is choosing to politicize it. I’m sad because I was looking forward to hearing it more during the Olympics!

    • bondgit says

      August 19, 2016 at 7:54 pm

      Each of the songs Katy sag, including Rise, she links Hilary Clinton too! Right there she permanently linked the DNC/Hilary/Democrats to her songs. I liked it better when she used Rise to promote the fight and strength one must have to get to and achieve the Olympics. Not for me to Rise and vote for Hilary… or that Hilary will rise. And to “Roar” for Hilary. I wish famous people would stay out of politics.

    The right thing? Eh. Yeah, diehard Republicans would pull back their monetary support. But there’s still a portion of Republicans (like any other group) who will indulge in something that doesn’t square up with their ~official~ beliefs. And beyond that, you have to think internationally – since nearly the whole world is invested in the Olympics, that viewership would’ve simultaneously had that constant exposure to the song…

    Yes. They wanted a song that was to be uniquely theirs for the run of the Olympics. It was a perfect song…But Katy ruined it by performing it at a Political fundraiser. Even worse the song isn’t even trending on Billboard’s Hot 100.

    Katy Perry

    Rise

    The Olympics

    DNC

    I was wondering why the song wasn’t being played much. I remember Phil Phillip’s Gone being completely played out four years ago.

    I didn’t watch the DNC but yes they did the right thing if the song was supposed to be exclusive to the Olympics.

    Large International Event: Olympics

    Political Event: DNC

    [Optional] Did the large international event do the right thing by pulling the song? Nope. Olympics has a bigger audience and they could’ve co-opted it enough to make people forget it was ever used before. I think Perry did the right thing using it at the DNC in order to make it more universal. Olympic trademarking and intellectual property rules are ridiculous.

      I don’t think it was the IOC or Rio folks that pulled it – I think the song was only going to be used by NBC. They have ended up playing it a few times. The melody is sorta dark and haunting. I’m reminded of that atrocious Madonna song that played at the end of “A League of Their Own”.

      Yes, I read that it was chosen by NBC for the US-TV coverage of the olympics. Interesting to hear it hasn’t been used much. I have to say it was used a lot in German TV in their TV coverage. NBC missed out, it has a great dynamic.

    Funny because I actually noticed that I hadn’t heard the song much and I watch nothing but Olympic coverage when it’s on.

      Omg you’re lucky bc here in NY they play it OUT on the radio- like every two minutes- but it’s funny bc I actually WAS wondering about this also bc I remembered that during the London Olympics they played that song “Home” by Phil Philips literally into and out of every single clip they showed (like of the athletes personal stories etc) & that song wasn’t even MADE exclusively for the Olympics like Katie’s. Dead seriously, I never heard hers ONCE at the olympics.

      She’s REALLY starting…

      *just to be clear my point was that I’ve heard the song a billion times on the radio but didn’t hear it even a single time while watching the olympics on tv and I was wondering why bc of what I said about the Philips song last Summer games

    I did think it was strange. I read so much about her doing a song for the olympics and I only heard it for the first time this morning.

      Firstly, congrats, totally get the sheer joy from being first. Mazel.

      Second, I was actually wondering about this! I was kinda shocked when she sang it at the DNC and I literally said out loud “Oh, I thought it was the Olympics song?” I think this time around her self-promotion got the best of her.
