The music video for
Katy Perry's E.T. featuring
Kanye West premiered on
MTV.com today and being that I've dedicated many a post to MissKaty I just had to comment. Now I could have gone with a headline that read "Katy Perry's E.T. Is Out Of This World" or something equally repulsive, but that would be both tacky and untrue. Granted,
E.T. is lightyears beyond
Firework, both in music video and songitude, but I have to admit that I was expecting something a wee bit more than what I got. Katy Perry only has three costume changes, four if you count her alien transformation, and she's basically a little flowy ball orbiting while Kanye West has the occasional angry outburst while holding his crotch (typical).

Something I will give MissKaty credit for is proving me right.
E.T., along with Lady Gaga's
Born This Way and Britney Spears'
Hold It Against Me music video, is just putting a big fat "right" on my forehead for all the world to see. In my
Futuristic Feminist post I talked about the move of female artists into the future. And mark my words, you're going to see more of it. The transformation from tarty little girl pop stars to androgynous and beautifully deformed future ladies is only going to be more pronounced in the coming year. But we'll leave that for later, for now, just enjoy the
E.T. picture book I created for you!
