NOT! Haha. I was being sarcastic. Gotcha! She’s TERRIBLE at talking like a normal, reasonably intelligent human being. She sounds like a functionally retarded robot from space whose “Duh” chip is set to TURBO. She should change her name to Katy Durrry. (Thanks for the tip, Scott.)

  1. Is it just me, or did Gabe just pull a Winwood?

  2. Holy cow! She is pretty!

  3. Also, there are SO many links to things I might like if I liked this! Thanks for being so helpful, Bing and Videogum!

  4. It’s hard to believe that was only three minutes long. I’m just glad she has finally broken her silence on the matter and that the world can finally move on.

  5. “I know when I hear a certain song, it can make me, like, want to change my whole plans for the night.” It’s like every time I hear Ice Ice Baby, I have the urge to go repaint my master bedroom.

  6. I’m pretty sure this is what I sound like on job interviews, and this is why I still don’t have a job. (Hire me?)

    • You’re hired! A few things, however.

      a. I work for Kevin Smith
      b. You will be fairly compensated
      c. Your compensation will be in the form of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
      d. Do not address Mr. Smith directly.
      e. At 11am sharp, every morning, you will bathe Kevin in a bath of 1 part tonic water to one part Mr. Pibb.
      f. If asked, Jersey Girl is your favorite movie.
      g. you must wear one article of denim at all times (this includes times when you are not at work)
      h. If at any time you are found without and denim, you will be forced to push Mr. Smith in an oversized stroller for a week.
      i. Should you become injured on the job, you will be dropped off at the closest free clinic and all evidence of your employment will be destroyed.

      You start first thing tomorrow, be there at 8am!

  7. can’t watch this since i’m at work, but i did see her video for “teenage dream” over the weekend, and let me just say that i am so glad i am not raising any female children at this time… i don’t think celebrities need to be role models, but when your garbage songs are aimed at little girls, let’s not have a chorus that talks about going all the way.

  8. Total pinnacle of human evolvement, this Katy Perry.

  9. I’m guessing that most entertainers talk this way, this video just needs tons of editing. Each sentence should be a segment on Access Hollywood or Extra or something. “HOW HAS KATIE PERRY EVOLVED? UP AFTER THIS BREAK” “EXTRA!”

  10. ” ”
    -People who are fans of her body OF MUSIC

  11. “25 years old = teenage” -Katy Perry, apparently

  12. Dammit! I meant equals:

    “HAHAHA!”
    - Stin Wevewood

    Monday’s, you guys. Just the worst.

  13. Katy Perry = Malibu Zooey Daschenel Barbie.

  14. ugh… She doesn’t even write the shit she sings. She just shows up at some warehouse where there are like 9 dudes in suits, a ton of awful clothing, and Stefan her make-up artist and they’re like, “So listen to this cd and memorize the parts while Stefan here sluts you up and then we will be set to shoot the nightmare that is your new music video. Oh yeah, and tell that creep you’re dating to stop stealing from our wardrobe department”. Basically.

  15. Needz more Russel Brand LOLz!!

  16. she sure loves the way she’s about to say the word “perspective” and blow all our minds. 1:36

  17. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see

    • And the part of the vomiting crowd is played by all of us, right now.

    • I was eating vanilla yogurt when I read that, and now I fucking hate you.

    • I downvoted you not because your comment is puerile or in poor taste or whatever. I downvoted you because your comment wasn’t funny for its own non-puerile or poor taste reasons. Try again, though! My upvote can be yours if you make yourself better!

    • You obviously have an arsenal of interesting terminology. Put it to more clever use, please!

    • She began her pointless manufactured career as a completely harmless and respectable person. Her handlers then decided she needed to sex it up, so she appropriated a sexuality that wasn’t hers by playing the bi-for-straight-guys card which is the worst. She then goes on to act and appear like some sexual object that I truly believe she isn’t, but that’s what sells. At first I was sympathetic to this poor creature being slowly consumed by celebrity culture before my very eyes, but that only lasted so long. What’s worse? Tila Tequila or someone who pretends they’re just as awful for commercial success. Sorry I had to be so vulgar. I was just trying to articulate the underlying message of Katy Perry’s “art”. Is this better?

      See you all in the monster’s ball! I think I finally made it!

  18. The best way to enjoy this clip:

    • Hmm. Pic didn’t post. Well, either take the blank space as a meta commentary that this clip can’t really be enjoyed at all or imagine a really tight shot of her cleavage. You decide!

  19. I think she literally says ‘I think’ too much!

  20. I have addressed this in previous comments in these environs: I am deeply conflicted about my feelings toward Katy Perry. On the one hand she is pretty but on the other hand she is vapid trash. Would I kick that away if she came begging for it? Frankly, I couldn’t say for certain.

  21. ‘Katy Perry OR Functionally Retarded Robots From Space’?

    Oh bing, you slay me.

  22. I wonder what was on her last album that she feels is a ‘snapshot’ of her years as a 17-23 year old. God knows those are some formative years and

    … oh, right.

  23. Don’t throw curve balls at teenage girls… They can’t get those heavy bats round fast so bring the heat with the fastball!

  24. Bing is wrong for once:

    I think they meant “Katy Perry IS Functionally Retarded.”

  25. On growing up (2:48): “…you’re a different kind of person, you know? Your curfew is later.”

  26. “Stuff that makes you think a little bit more.”


    We are going to need a bigger Harvard graduate degree in experimental physics.

  27. I don’t have a curfew at all, so I think it’s ok that I don’t get where she’s at and stuff. It is strongly suggested that I get some sleep before each work day, but really that’s a choice. I digress. She’s harmless. And her music is terrible.

  28. Sadly, this is not the first Katie Perry interview that I have heard recently (I was listening to one on BBC Radio 1 the other day) and I can’t help but notice a slight attempt (?) at a British accent. I am not sure what it worse the attempted accent or the actual words.

  29. camille paglia, ann powers, judith halberstam…?

  30. kids, this is what dropping out of high school at 15 and getting your GED sounds like.

  31. Yes, honest. Like being honest about the fact that your parents are pastors and you tried to become famous as a gospel singer but failed miserably so now you’ll do anything for attention? That kind of honesty?

  32. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

  33. The fact that you keep using the word “evolvement” doesn’t mean it’s an actual thing.
    It’s “evoluTION”!
