Star Image- Katy Perry




I found it very hard to think of someone who i could investigates star image. I did not want to look at Cheryl Cole as her rise to being a star has been covered by thousand of people before and i did not want to look at Lady Gaga due to the fact that she is so different to everyone that most people would be looking at her star image without realising that they don't want there star to be like Lady gaga and if they did the star would probably be heavily criticised for copying a style that has become renowned as Lady Gaga's.

Katy Perry was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. After failed attempts with one record label she changed her stage name from Katy Hudson and To Katy Perry as it was felt it would be hard to get her own identity with the famous actress Katie Hudson having such a similar name and people may associate or think of Katie Hudson when hearing Katy Hudsons name.

Katy Perry has shown an almost rebellious side to her which has built on creating a likeable image. Raised by strict a strict christain family with both of her parents being Pastors. Yet her first break through song went against the ideology of the church being named 'I kissed a girl' with themes of the song consisting of cheating, lesbianism and a sort of promiscuity which means that she will kiss a girl without any feelings about it or regret. Katy Perrys outfits  have also caused some controversy with being rather "revealing" and "sexy".

As Katy Perry has become more famous she has made her own image with her wild and exciting dress sense. She often dresses up in outfits. Her relationship with Russel Brand caused instant coverage all over the world. Russel Brand is also seemed to be one of "tele's bad boys" yet they have tried to keep the coverage of there relationship quiet and are believed to be happy together. It is believed that Katy has calmed Russel Brand down.

Katy Perry writes all her song this way allowing her to show her emotions through her songs such as "teenager dream" which represents her dreams of being a pin up girl. It also allows her audience to feel a connection with her . “You’re getting a pure connection to the artist,” Katy says. “You’re not getting some idea of what that artist should be, you’re getting a direct voice.”

She’s also a popular television draw, appearing on talk shows, presenting and performing on the Grammys living, she also became famous serving as a guest judge on “American Idol,” and X factor. She went on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” for celeberity giving her money to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She has won Best New Act at the Europe Music Awards, Best Pop Video at the MTV Japan Awards and International Female Solo Artist at the Brit Awards
