Katy Perry fights for air on 'Let's Dance for Sport Relief'.

Katy Perry hit the stage on the UK’s ‘Let’s Dance for Sport Relief’ yesterday but her performance was definitely not soothing. Indeed, the husky-voiced singer performed her new single, ‘Part of Me’, on the show and found herself gasping for air.

‘Part of Me’ is the lead single from Perry’s upcoming ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection’ rerelease. The album will arrive in US and UK stores on the same day – March 26th.

Watch Perry’s ‘Let’s Dance’ performance below:

Perry deserves to be acknowledged for the choreography in this performance but her vocals were a travesty. She could barely breathe while standing still and things only got worse when she started dancing.

Poor breath control has always been Perry’s biggest problem and the situation has yet to improve. I suggest that she practices singing while running to build stamina. If not, then Perry could always try another viable option: be quiet.

Thoughts?
