Pop star shoots 90-second commercial to current single as she channels characters including Marilyn Monroe. By James Dinh Katy Perry in her commercial for German TV channel ProSieben’s “Star Force” Photo: Capitol/ ProSieben From whipped-cream-loaded bras to pink cotton candy clouds, Katy Perry has delivered her share of eye-catching visuals throughout the unveiling of her Teenage Dream album. And in a new commercial for German TV channel ProSieben’s “Star Force,” she keeps the momentum going as she cranks up the colors and jumps into the future. In the 90-second spot , which is basically an alternative, shortened mini-video for her single “Teenage Dream,” the singer plays a sort of singing robot inside the walls of a beaming city building from the future. As it begins, we see a woman with lots of frosted makeup robotically walk alongside skintight-clad space people towards a moving door. They approach a still and assumingly “turned off” pop star until a juke box turns on and plays the familiar tune. Bringing to life a futuristic Katy Perry, the singer channels Marilyn Monroe’s iconic fluttering-white-dress look. The singer then transforms into a 1950s housewife with a polka-dot geometric dress. But with a blink of an eye, that look is gone in favor of a superhero-gone-sex-kitten look. Riding a flaring rocket that floats before a building window, Perry shoots into the city lights before doing her spokesperson drop: “We love to entertain you.” The commercial serves as a drastic change from the singer’s official video for “Teenage Dream,” which depicts her driving around the sunny hills of California and canoodling and dancing the day away in an empty parking lot. In one clip, she serves up as sing-along robot while the other portrays her “come venture with me” persona. Even though both clips remain vastly different from one another, the carefree atmosphere is still apparent. Whether they’re dancing around a beach half-naked or decked out in 1950s attire, Perry is surrounded by a party you could only wish to be part of.
