Pop Superstar Katy Perry Blasts Off
By Tom Zenner

As she strolled to center stage, in a typical day in the life of a world-famous superstar, pop music and pop culture icon Katy Perry gave Jetset a little sample of what it is about her that makes her so successful, so famous, so likable and so fresh: her abnormal ability to appear normal.

Oh, there's nothing normal about her talent, her straight-from-the-heavens ability to charm a microphone and an audience, combined with her mind-blowing ability to create fun, listenable, radio-friendly, groove-inducing music. And the gift she possesses to make cash registers sing and iTunes downloads ping is something the music industry hasn't seen before. Simply put, Katy Perry sells songs and moves product.

As she explained some of the methods of her magic to Jetset on the syndicated entertainment show Extra as she launched her brand-new perfume Meow (appropriate for someone whose cat has its own blog), it was easy for a person to understand how Perry has basically gone from being an unknown up-and-comer with three recording deal failures to a globetrotting chart-topper who travels the world with her entourage in Gulfstreams. And what's really amazing is, she's done it in the time between opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Which brings up another aspect of the Katy Perry phenomena that helps explain where all the success has come from and where it appears to be going: She's still grounded enough to know how magical things have been for her lately - while also smart and savvy enough to know she's going to have to keep working as hard as she has to keep the machine humming.

While changing the color of her hair might elicit more buzz on the Internet and headlines in tabloids, what Perry has accomplished in regards to record sales is, well, to put it bluntly, off the charts. Her second studio album, Teenage Dream, has produced five No. 1 hits. That feat has only happened one other time, when Michael Jackson cranked out the same number on his iconic album Bad. For Perry, that record is still within grasp.

"Listen, I don't know if it's going to happen," she told Jetset. "We'll see. I've had such an insane run this year that I don't need to top anything. I'm good. If it works, it would be great, but I've just had a great year so I feel like I'm fine, and I'm so happy with all the support the fans give me, and that people have decided to come onboard to my whole vision. That feels great."
