In the clip, Loring tries to [...]

No pun intended (ok, maybe a little) but we’re very hot and cold on Katy Perry. At first we thought her music was kind of shrill and bad, but then she won us over when she was a guest judge on American Idol . When she and Russell Brand started dating, we braced ourselves for [...]
