The Katy Perry/Russell Brand Machine
By renchamp 0 Comments
Katy Perry has intrigued me for a while. First, when asked what her favorite Beatles song was, she said, "Happiness is a Warm Gun." Mine, too. This didn't make me like her any more, but it at least put her on my radar. I've noticed, as I have casually traipsed around this interweb, that Katy Perry is like any other pop star, i.e. she uses hot guys in her videos. This makes sense because her fans are mostly girls who like hot guys. I have wondered, however, how these sweetheart songs sung to hot guys goes over with her husband.
I've had these odd thoughts with every new song Katy has released. (I listen to pop radio to see what those darn kids are listening to nowadays.) "She's singing this to Russell?" I'd think. Then, her newest release came out. "E.T." is about her love affair with an alien. Now she's pegging Russell right. It's tragic, but look at the guy. I can finally, legitimately see her singing this song to him at home. It makes me feel good that they have a song now.
But remember, I do love Russell Brand. In a not-that-way sort of way.
