I wanted to say I hate it. I wanted to say “WILL SOMEONE PLEASE ESCORT MIZZ PERRY OFF THE PREMISES? THE SOUNDS EMINATING FROM HER FACE CAVITY ARE MAKING MY BODY HURT.”

But in all honesty…I can’t.

This is Katy Perry‘s cover of Sam Sparro‘s masterpiece “Black & Gold,” which we all know and love already. I was ready for karaoke, or perhaps over-singing, or just plain awfulness a la her “rendition” of “Like A Virgin” from the VMA’s, but it’s just plain….good.

There. I said it, but I’m not going to say anything else that may be interpreted as praising, so here…Take it.
