Inflated Super Bowl.

Bosom friends! 

I have one name for you:

KATY PERRY.

A name, a brand, a guarantee.

The reformed church singer will be gracing millions of viewers during the 12 minutes half time show in the Super Bowl next Sunday.

I watched the Pepsi's halftime show press conference yesterday and I have to say that Miss Perry did a good job at keeping it sassy yet informative. I was not enlightened by new knowledge over the mysteries of life but the gal was lovely and very prepared (Madonna's style).

Her outfit was as quirky as always and probably the sight of it sent Karl Lagerfeld to the emergency room.
We got it Katy, you are performing the Super Bowl half time show.
There was no need to display so many footballs on you.
A bit of an overkill.

Her main concern is that her performance will leave the audience talking about her music rather than wardrobe malfunctions and flying nipples.

She’s previously announced that Lenny Kravitz would be joining her for her set.
She said that Kravitz will add soul and sexiness to the show and quickly rectified by saying appropriate sexiness and only family style entertainment allowed. Once again no nipple peekaboo...
Some even ventured that one of her costumes had to be scanned for safety reasons...She admitted that her opening costume will be flaming hot. I understand she wants to set the house on fire, hopefully only figuratively.

When asked if her set would include any lip-synching or pre-recorded vocals, Katy did a pretty good job of keeping her answer vague…but honest.
She sort of deflected the question by starting with:
"I'm going to be using a lot of graphic effects. We have to lay out a layer on the field that is almost as big as the field so that the graphic effects can work." Eventually she said “I think a lot of the performance is going to be live”.
Basically she is saying something's gotta give.
Clever little witch. 

Katy would not reveal the name of her additional guest performer (but it already leaked...it's Missy Elliot bosom friends!). Katy said this act would help create a real “female fun night, a bit of old-school.” She continued: “When you hear the first ring of the chord, jaws will drop and faces will melt.” 
Personally I am more than happy to melt whatever it takes to have a good throwback pop music moment! 
Katy also said that her show is going to be a mix of what she loved most from past half time show performers namely Beyoncé and Madonna. She will probably whip her weave like Knowles and have fierce dance routines as the Material Girl's. All the homos will faint right away from sensory overload.

Despite the fact that her show will feature a mid-size zoo (reportedly actual live animals) and that more than 100 million people will be watching it, Katy came across as a very grounded and humble church gal.
She said that she is honored, proud and blessed to be given such an opportunity at her age already. She described this experience to be almost spiritual. Ok Katy, perhaps a bit too much now...

Perry even had a brief appearance by her dog Butters on the conference stage. 
There we go, already a live animal sharing the spot light with her.


To see the whole animalistic shebang we will have to wait for those 12 precious minutes of entertainment that make the Super Bowl bearable.

Ciao for now.
