Toss Up Katy Perry Vs Charlotte Sometimes

Every couple days I troll the internet for new music video and usually I still to acts I already know unless there is a big buzz around a new artist or if a title just catches my eye. Videos by Katy Perry and Charlotte Sometimes basically caught my eye for the exact same reason, I thought that "I Kissed a Girl" and "How I Could Kill a Man" were covers of Jill Sobule and Cypress Hill respectively and was severely disappointed when it turned out neither were. So let's break them down individually to their predecessors:

I KISSED A GIRL - KATY PERRY

I KISSED A GIRL - JILL SOBULE

What a different a decade makes. The Jill Sobule version would have been shocking had it not have been so cheesy. Not we have Katy Perry presumably trying to be shocking with her Girls Gone Wild video with all the good parts taken out. But you can find more shocking things on ABC Family in primetime these days. They you replace upbeat pop with dirty techno. Even worse: no Fabio cameo.

HOW I COULD JUST KILL A MAN - CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES

HOW I COULD JUST KILL A MAN - CYPRESS HILL

With MTV's anti-violence stance it was shocking when Yo! MTV Raps started spinning the Cypress Hill song back in the early nineties. But ever since the Dixie Chicks said goodbye to Earl, it seems like every pop tart from Kelly Clarkson to that arsonist Taylor Swift want to do bodily harm to a jilted ex, so again, not so shocking over a decade later.

Okay, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that neither could stack up to the original. But as for the premise for the Toss Up between the two new songs, the clear winner is Charlotte Sometimes as her song is at least remotely catchy.
