Katy Perry tries for obnoxious humor, but sorry. She is no Ke$ha.
If you haven't seen Katy Perry's new "Birthday" video, you're in for... a lot. It's Katy disguised as five different horrible birthday entertainers (a clown, a facepaint-unsavvy princess, an animal trainer, a hacky bar mitzvah performer, and an elderly stripper) and ostensibly ambushing real parties full of people who don't recognize the pop star underneath the makeup. She's purposely a wreck in every incarnation, and we marvel at the wild reactions from partygoers who can't believe an old stripper would collapse on the floor or that a clown would be so terrible at making balloon animals.
Opinions about the video are mixed even at HitFix, but I think the attempt at bawdy humor in this video is truly what separates Katy Perry from the similarly irreverent Ke$ha: Katy pretends to go all out and Ke$ha actually achieves it....
I agree SO much wih this. Flopday is just a failure, and Blow video, even if its stupid, doesn't have that "why is katy doing this" factor. Still mad theu cut the bridge from the video tho!
I see no lies. The video is not funny. Some people make a living doing their jobs as party entertainers. She is so arrogant, thinking just because she has millions she can make a mockery of hard-working disadvantaged individuals. She needs to check her privilege.
it really wasn't that bad.
it was fun and not to be taken overly serious, something no one else seems to be bringing to the table recently.
still doesn't make up for the racist DH vid tho
