Katy Perry Backtracks On Product Placement Comments!
Uh-oh! We guess she didn't take too kindly to some of the speculation made about her comments!
Shortly after Britney Spears released her music video for Hold It Against Me, Katy Perry recently took some - what many perceived to be - digs at artists who blatantly fill them with product placement via Twitter!
However, what she wrote was apparently not meant specifically for Brit Brit, or as she now backtracks explains, anyone in particular!
She wrote:
Dear tabloid media aka FILTH: pls note I expressed an overall feeling bout product placement, their roles in vids & the art of them being…complimenting or sticking out. Most, if not ALL popsters welcome deals w/products 2 offset costs of big budget vids in these recessional…music industry times. I'VE used them in MY vids before & am happy 2b able 2 make a better vid because of. Once AGAIN, stop pitting artists..against artist for ur sensational satisfaction & stick to what ur best @: lying, gossiping, exaggerating & overall lending a hand 2 the……deterioration of a generation.
Wowza! Some pretty serious words!
You know we love you, bb, but we don't think it's particularly fair for you to tweet about "some artists" and expect your readers to not wonder of whom you're speaking!
Just saying!
Thoughts??
