Katy Perry Would Like Your Eyes To Be Up Here, Not Down There

The newest single from the supremely annoying Katy Perry is the sleepy Morrissette manqué “Thinking Of You,” which she performed at Z100’s Jingle Ball a few weeks back while strumming a guitar and which has a chorus that’s capped by the oh-so-sad line “I wish that I was looking into your… eyes.” I could make a joke about how the necklines she’s flaunting in this clip would result in the the possibility of that meaningful gesture being reciprocated a bit difficult (and that was probably the plan all along, given the blah nature of this song), but, well, it is the holidays, and I should probably be generous.

    I am not going to listen to this song.

    Okay, I could only make it a little over 2 minutes in before I had to stop listening to this truly awful song, but in that time I saw no unusual mammarial display. Does it get very lean over-ly after that point or something? I was more distracted the whole time by the combination of those stark white sheets and her copious eye make-up. The looming laundry disasters for her "character" are so much more engrossing than anything else going on in this clip.

    It makes me very very happy when people defend their taste in music by referencing the physical attributes of the 'artist' in question. "But he's so cute" "But she's got boobs". Hmm, seems that men have pretty low standards. As far as I know, all women have boobs of some sort or another. Or at least that's been my experience.


    I use that sort of thinking as a datapoint: this persons' opinion on music should not be taken seriously, stay far away from anything they recommend.

    I was actually offended by the boobtacular appearance she made in the iTunes New Music Tuesday e-newsletter today. It was egregious boobery! It made me sad for the presumably de-flocked preacher's daughter...I think for all her bravado she must be intensely naive. That, or she has absolutely zero self-respect. But, as you said, it's the holidays, I'll be charitable and go with the former.

    here's a version of the clip that's less, um, booby, and more nakedly pulling at the heartstrings:

    (b) OMG this song suck so, so much. please please PLEASE don't let this become a hit.

    It's like a black fly in my Chardonnay.


    Or two big, black flies.

  • Signal to Noise

    I made it 50 seconds until I got that stabby feeling inside.

    I find it hard to believe this is Katy Perry. Where's the romper, Katy?

    Isn't it ironic...

    I like tits, but I'm not impressed.

  • tigerpop

    I see. It's a music video. Very interesting.

  • Maura Johnston

    On the bright side, this video will probably thrill everyone who just says "B-B-BUT HER BOOBS!!"
