Wow!! Katy deserves Video of the Year or at least the nomination for Wide Awake. She is getting a lot praise and making lots of headlines for this latest music video.

Katy Perry‘s music video, “Wide Awake,” which came out today, was a great send up to lost love. Of course, many are speculating that the lost love that inspired the track was none other than KP’s ex Russell Brand, but you’ll have to watch the vid and be the judge of that.

To say that Katy Perry has had a rollercoaster year would be an understatement. Though the pop superstar has had great success on the Billboard charts and took home trophies at the Billboard Music Awards, People's Choice Awards and MuchMusic Awards this year, she also went through very public divorce proceedings with comedian Russell Brand. Her last video for the "Teenage Dream" era, "Wide Awake," reflects Perry's journey in a fairytale setting.

Katy Perry reflects on her recent past in the video for her new single "Wide Awake," flashing back to imagery from her videos for Teenage Dream while singing of her emotional turmoil during that period. Though the clip recalls familiar looks, the video puts a new spin on it all, recasting every colorful look with a melancholy tone and a darker palette.

Katy Perry is the symbol of strength. The beautiful singer spoke with MTV about her newly released music video “Wide Awake” and says that she wants to be “honest” with her fans when it comes to her music.
Katy says she hopes that her fans feel encouraged after listening to this song and watching this video.
“I hope they feel encouraged that it doesn’t matter what thing is thrown at you or what kind of obstacle you face,” she says. “You can get through it and land on your feet triumphantly and strong. That’s what I hope people get from this music video … from the song. It’s just you’ve gotta grow up a little bit, I guess. Sometimes you have to deal with some things in order to move on in life. That’s what I’m doing.”
Katy is inspiring and so is this video.

The video for “Wide Awake” seems to be just what her fans might want from her at this point in time. There’s a fantastical, whimsical vibe to it that finds Perry teaming up with her own self as a child.
The clip launches with a snippet from the shoot for her “California Gurls” and ends with the concert tour, book-ending the two crazy years she’s spent promoting her blockbuster album Teenage Dream. There’s a genius moment where the princess-like Perry emerges from darkness to find Prince Charming — and promptly smacks him.
The only thing that would have made the moment better was if the guy had looked a little bit more like Russell Brand.

We don't even really know how else to say this than to just jump right in and state our claim: "Wide Awake" may literally be Katy Perry's best video to date. And if you knew how intensely we bawled during the car crash scene in "The One That Got Away," you'd fully comprehend the gravity of that statement....
In sum, a beautiful, well-thought-out video and the perfect way for Katy to conclude her Teenage Dream era. Oh, and the punching. 'Cause that was kinda cool

One thing you can always count on Katy to do is deliver knock out visuals and the whole album campaign has been a (ahem) dream. Except for the disastrous Part of Me but let’s all forget that ever happened. Wide Awake is a much better song that will no doubt resonate with a lot of individuals. Visually its a stunner and the references to previous videos make it a delight for fans to keep watch plus that sentiment I mentioned is much better portrayed here than in Part of Me (with a pinch of humour thrown in for good measure). Despite what you think of her songs or her live vocals, it can’t be denied that Katy Perry has really upped the pop game with this album brushing the ‘difficult second album’ tag aside and raising the bar in every aspect of being a popstar.

I am still not really sure how Katy Perry managed to win me over, but she totally did. I’m actually looking forward to seeing Katy’s upcoming 3D movie, Katy Perry: Part Of Me (July 5th), which includes her new song “Wide Awake”. I think this song is fantastic, watch the just released music video below. I’d love to see this track go to number one, so she can continue her incredible chart-topping run, she deserves it.
