Katy So-Called Perry

We have to admit we've slowly come round to Katy Perry. Yes, yes... we'll never get over the fact that Ur So Gay is one of the worst songs every committed to mp3, but hey... we're gay... she wears fruit inspired burlesque outfits and she does catchy pop... we can't deny her a little (tiny) bit of love.

Anyway we're interested to see how the whole Katy Perry thing pans out because, without a smash hit single like I Kissed A Girl, she's pretty fucked and this could be one of those flavour of the year thingies... we'd like to think she has enough personality to work with the right people to keep her career afloat because, even though we INFINITELY prefer GaGa, there are worse pop prospects than Miss Katy Cherry.

THIS SAID we wish Katy wouldn't paint herself as some outspoken, gobby rock chick. For example here she is talking in Fabulous magazine:

"I say what I think. I’m a real person, not some manufactured pop tart who’s afraid to step out of the hotel room. I am flawed. I swear, I have the occasional cocktail, I pick my nose and I fart. I’m not running for any presidential campaign at the moment. I’m a sassy girl."

Yes, yes Katy... we get it you are REAL. You are not some fake media trained muppet with the personality and sense of humour of a fake lesbian snog... you are GOBBY AND OUTSPOKEN.

We only wish this were the truth. Up there is a little interview with Katy and whilst she comes across as lovely, and funny she's hardly the outspoken, sassy girl who's not afraid to say what she thinks. Maybe it's only because she's deciding not to sink to Lily Allen's level (which I applaud) or whatever but this seems to have become a trend in Katy Perry... she's hardly Ashlee Simpson or Leona Lewis in terms of boring, media groomed pop tarts but she's not quite as outspoken as she'd like us to think.

(Yes it's an extremely slow day/week/month in music).
