Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me. Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
Kanye is ev-er-y-wherreeee isn't he?
I think he literally has a voice to go with any artist and I could listen to him all day. Before I watched the video I got a text from my friend who got a little overexcited that our lovely Katy Perry had released a new single... so the hype was already there before we even started. I don't want to have to say it but I did feel like there is a slight similarity to Lady GaGa's new video 'Born This Way' - simply because everything was so futuristic; maybe they had the same producers or maybe they are just besties and said

"Lets Do The Same Vid Babe"

Anyway they're equally interesting to watch; I like Katy's for her acting, is there nothing this girl can't do? I thought to myself, if they put me in that outfit I would look like an absolute mug. Even if I have the same hairstyle as her, that makeup would not look right. I would quite like to know how this girl can pull off a nest head piece and huge alien eyes, and still look fit?

The start of the song is great because its so eery, as if they have found an old record player and its a sound they haven't heard for thousands of years, the beat switches so quickly and sets the tone for the rest of the song.. Ooo very creative you two!

The lyrics are romantically linked, as ever, but what I like about this is that you've got to read between the lines of the song. To me, it's almost talking about that feeling of being overwhelmed by someone, like the feeling you would get if Kanye West came up to you and said "Marry me?" Boys.. you know you'd feel the same too! Especially my mate Taz who has on countless occasions expressed his love for Mr. West.

Your so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

I can't pick favourite lyrics in this song, but just love the sound of both their voices - I like that they've tried something completely new, its one thing singing it but the end produced result is what made it for me. I'd like to see this performed live, with a futuristic set and dancers.... One thing I've noticed is that big artists aren't just producing 3 minute videos to go with the song anyway, they're almost producing 8 minute films. GaGa and Kanye are prime examples of this, 30 - 40 million hits on youtube, what more could you ask for?

I mean its like my blog.. 30 - 40 million hits a day... just minus the million :)

If you've not had chance yet then give your full attention to the video below and keep an eye on Kanye for me, I can't keep track of this guy!
