Hi

We cannot influence what Google uses as a title. We can only work on the page title tag, but then they decide what to do with it.
I can't really say why they decided to append "Katy Perry" at the end of your pages. Here are a few things to consider:

1 - the page title and other tags are good now. How long have they been good? Did you have a problem some times ago, and then you fixed it? it might them multiple months to change after you fixed problems on the site
2 - You should work on the Search console (Google webmaster tools) and see what they say. They might have some warnings, errors, etc that can help you.
3 - Though I am not an expert, I think your page titles are not long and descriptive enough:
Tradução - Coldplay

should probably be (in Portuguese of course)

Coldplay songs lyrics translated to Portuguese

and then, on the page http://www.xxxx.com/nickelback/traducao/nickelback-get-em-up for example,

instead of
<title>Nickelback - Get 'Em Up -Tradução</title>

You should probably have:

<title>Portugese translation ofrNickelback Get 'Em Up song</title>


I think the big problem on your site is that the titles are too short. This prompts Google to modify the title in their results.

Hi thanks for reply,

Yes all my urls was with a wrong sef urls since my website was launch 3 months ago.

i was using free JoomSEF at beginning, and i cant configure in right way.

Sh404sef have much more options in "Show Category" so now urls works good.

I thought that was a joomla error, but i will work to have larges names in article title.

Thanks

Hi

Yes, working on the page title (and the custom description also, if you have time), is the best way to go. Also, be sure to work in Google Search console to check for any message.

Hi

Yes, I have no good SEO explanation for you at the moment.

One thing I ran into is that you seem to have a lot of duplicate content, because you have your pages on multiple web sites: http://www.xxxx.fm/, https://www.xxxx.br/, etc
That surely does not help.

Letras means lyrics in portuguese, thats why everybody use.

I have 2400 music translations, and i had to modify all urls when i turn off joomsef and install sh404sef.

do you know how long google will fix the urls that was already index

Hi

I was not talking about the URLs. I just said that the same content is available on multiple websites, and I assume all of those are yours. They are competing with each other, and most likely just considered duplicate content.
