The video for "Last Friday Night"! http://www.digitalspy.ie/music/news/a324432/katy-perry-premieres-last-friday-night-video.html I'd forgotten that Katy brought back the sax even before GaGa did!

I can't say I like either. However, being objective the video is very well made and put together - I think it is spot on for what she is aiming at with it and I'm sure a lot of people will love it, it's just not really my sense of humour. The song really doesn't do much for me either - allthough I've loved everything else she's released so I think this one just doesn't tickle me in general.. |

Yeah I just appreciate that the video is very well made and exactly right for the song, which I've always felt could be a big hit. It wouldn't surprise me if this is another #1 for her in the US. Sometimes pop can just be silly and fun and trashy, and she does that kind of thing quite well I think.

Oh totally - and I'm not knocking the effort. Like I say I think it's probably completely on the nose if you like that sort of thing but it's a fairly particular kind of blunt, almost gross-out humour that I don't really like.

Oh I know what you mean. I don't find it *remotely* amusing either. I just sort of admire it on a technical/marketing/visual level, plus I think the song is a catchy little thing too. |

the marketing strategy is genius - the whole facebook character page thing.. very clever. I think it will do very well for her.. |

Yeah, for a fifth single from an album, they've put a LOT of effort into it. |

I think the song and video are great. The video is very amusing. Debbie Gibson, Hanson, Glee stars - its very well done. |

They want it to get to #1 on the Hot 100. If it does 'Teenage Dream' will tie MJ's 'Bad' for the record of most US #1 singles from one album. |

Apparently her album has sold 3.7m wordwide in a year. BTW is at 2.5m in 3 weeks.

Her album has sold just as much internationally as it has in the US. Not everyone can be Madonna or Coldplay and have their albums sell 3x or more internationally than they do in the US. |

A post from Pulse:
That about sums up the taste and mentality of her uber-fans. |

She's not asking to be taken seriously. She's a pop tart and she's enjoying every second of it. |

Exactly! How much more obvious can it be that she absolutely has no interest in being taken seriously? The vast majority of her output is silly, carefree pop songs. That's what she does. She's not remotely interested in being dark, serious or gritty. The moment she tries that is when it could all blow up in her face. |

And I think that in that respect this campaign is SO much more succesful and targeted for her audience than ET was - even though I personally preferred ET. I think it's inevitable that at some point Katy will move into TV and/or movies.. |
