Potato Head because it talked about how we change our faces for people to like us. It talked about makeup and how we use it to hide our insecurities. I relate to this song so much because I have so many insecurities about my face and body. I went through a very bad acne phase and it brought me to a level of insecurity where I didn’t even want to leave the house. I used every makeup technique I could to cover my acne, using so many products. When people would see me they’d comment about how great my skin was not knowing that it took me an hour to cover it, still not feeling confident enough. It talked about how we can get surgery to change our faces to anyway we want and it’s true. You see it happen so much in this generation, people getting plastic surgery so that their face looks like models and celebrities.

    When artists go through an emotional down fall in there career’s you see some stars fall and other’s reflect to back when it all started to better themselves. As Katy Perry stated in her interview with U.S.A Today Prism is “less over-the-top and more “me””. I have come to realize that when artist put out an album, it isn’t just to see how many copies they can sell but it’s about making music with feelings, getting into there inner self and reaching out to those who admire them, the social text of the music is the heart of every song and the album altogether.

These artists will be Katy Perry, and Britney Spears.
