Katy Perry, “Wide Awake”

This video starts off with plenty of promise: After a long day of music-video shooting, a robotically cheery Katy Perry retires to her dressing room to try to shake the weight of pop stardom off her shoulders. She removes her wig and stares longingly in the mirror, as sure a sign as any that we’re about to get into some "this is what the real KP is like" shit — and then she runs away to a mythical fairy land to pal around with her supernatural 10-year-old self?!! I was just kind of hoping we’d get to see her sitting around drinking chai and playing Mario Kart.
