Wide Awake: A Review

Wide Awake
Katy Perry
Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection

Drama: ON. I don't know why, but after watching this music video, I have gained more respect for Katy Perry. It showed something deeper than the literally candy-covered chapters of her life. It showed that even the media kills you and masks who you really are and that fame could make you do the things you never wanted to.

Commenting on the graphics, it's has the typical music video over-coloration and over-drama, except for the street scene for the kid which was reminiscent of Last Friday Night. You can also spot references to her other music videos. (It's part of Pop Culture now. Go ahead and point those out.) My favorite shot would be the close up of the bitten strawberry in the hand of one crippled Katy Perry (OOH rhymes!). Now that I think of it, maybe it signified the weakness of holding on to what holds you down.
