Is Katy Perry a Human Being?

I wondered this question a few weeks back, and I thought it was kind of funny. All over the musical world, there were photo shoots, interviews, biographies written about this girl who rose to fame based on a song called "I kissed A girl." Now I listened to it, like twice, and was not really impressed. It totally seemed manufactured. A good beat. Fun guitar riff and a bunch of crap to get guys interested and have teenage girls dance against each other at prom or cast parties. So today, I was like going through a bunch of best of lists, and Katy Perry's damn song Hot N Cold kept coming up. And I was like whatevs. But I'm writing and I needed some music, so I got it. And I listened to it. And I had to admit, it's pretty damn catchy. But that still didn't answer my question. Was she a human being? or some created doll type corporate thing. So I went to youtube and watched the video. Ummm... yeah she's a real person. The video is awesome. She comes off as a really quirky adorable yeah hot girl that just happens to be able to pipe out some really good material... kind of like that hot best friend you had, but didnt' realize was hot and then was a singer and you were like whoa, like whoa, like really? (although this could still be a projected image, and she could just be totally full of herself) AND she kind of sucks at singing live, but is still so awesome and quirky, you kind of just don't care...
So yeah, she's a human being, and "Hot N Cold" is a pretty damn good single.
