E 7: The California Gurl

The music industry is filled with blondes trying to outdo one another with their extravagant performances, memorable outfits, banging music, and eyebrow-raising attitude. They try to go past one another that they even almost do the same things and look the same. This causes fans to catfight and war each other on the Internet.
Then came Katy Perry who did not look as if she emerged from the skies or the oceans but rather appeared strutting her ass on the same ground as ours. Perry is brunette-one of her best stand-out looks in the pop industry. Yes, she does wear odd and sometimes, unfashionable wardrobes, but who cares? We love her look. With doe eyes and sexy body, Perry does nothing but charm us that she doesn't have to wear bizarre outfits for us not to notice her.
Having some kind of a big and rocker voice (contralto, according to Wikipedia) also sets Perry apart other popstars. She doesn't need autotune to belt out a note.

Admit it, it's hard to impersonate her voice and way of singing. Even her songs do not sound as if she's trying to kick any other artist off a spot by having a pop rock kind of sound that simply makes her rise on her own pedestal.
One more good thing about Perry is that she isn't desperate for attention. She doesn't have to act crazy or give a finger to anyone to prove that she's not one to be messed with. Well, in the first place, who plans to mess with a charming-yet-kind-of-bitchy woman like her?
Perry has earned herself her own spot in pop culture. She has set a standard in which everyone can respect her simply because she doesn't try to copy others to gain fame. I'm not a huge fan, but I love her effortless originality (though sometimes, she fails to 'impress' me regarding 'effortless originality'). If GaGa and Britney are on the ring, Katy Perry will stand as the referee, and everybody will even want to give her the championship belt without lifting a muscle.
