Katy Perry. If you haven’t heard her name by now, it’s time to invest in a T.V., computer, Internet, or radio and come out from beneath that rock you’re hiding under. Pop icon and singer/songwriter, Perry has won numerous awards since entering onto the scene with the single “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008. From then on, the woman has dominated a portion of the world's T.V. and radio. The single “The One That Got Away” is the sixth single off of her latest CD and this weeks TOP favorited music video on Youtube.
The song is just what you’d expect from the singer: shallow pop/rock, heavy dance beat, and extremely (almost obnoxiously) catchy.
The music video, however, is less Katy Perry-esk. The pop star-- through the use of movie magic-- is transformed into an elderly woman, rich, married and settled down. Throughout the video, she wonders around her expensive estates, and experiences a number of flashbacks of her youth.
POOF!
In enters the Perry we know and love (or love to hate). Young Katy is in the early, romantic days of love, swept off her feet by an aspiring artist. The two have a cute-fest of memories together – painting, dancing, crashing senior-center parties—and meanwhile Perry twangs out the chorus again and again. In another life, I would make you stay. So I don't have to say you were the one that got away. The one that got away…
You know this ain’t gonna end well, folks.
Overall, the storyline is a bit predictable if not Perry-type material-- but no doubt the flocks of die-hard, almost-foaming-at-the-mouth Katy fans will be satisfied with the results anyway.
