The song actually started off with a huge buzz following her SNL performance. Remember the kid with the backpack and crazy fast motion rubber band arms? The New York drag queens were the glamor and direction she should have gone for the video. Dark, glittery, a little underground. Instead she went with her usual camp, but in an absolutely ridiculous dodgeball movie kind of way attempting to be cutesy and funny. That’s just not what we want to see in our heads when replaying the song. Nikki performing the “halftime show” of the basketball game was the only real treatment in the video. She blows Katy and the rest of the video out of the water. Sometimes you have to take your craft seriously, and her goofiness should just add to a video, not drive it into the ground.
