Video: Katy Perry Ditches The 80s For The 40s In "Thinking Of You"

Katy Perry's One Of The Boys has already spawned two number one singles, can she do it a third time? After the one-two power pop punch of "I Kissed A Girl" and the 80s-biting "Hot N Cold" Capitol decided to go a slower route, releasing the power ballad "Thinking Of You" and premiering the video on iTunes last week.

The song is gorgeous, finding the bi-curious pop tart at a more emotional place than radio has discovered. When he's shipped off to World War II, Katy misses her man (played by Kyle XY and "Goodbye My Lover" hottie Matt Dallas) and ends up in bed with another. She reminisces, which allows her 32Ds to fill out some lovely vintage costumes, before revealing the real reason she can't be with him. Her range as an actress is only decent, and the makeup at the end looks a little whorish, but all-in-all a welcome departure that will cement Katy Perry as a pop star with some staying power. Watch:

PS: This is the second video for "Thinking Of You" The first was filmed before "Hot N Cold" was released as a single. It's rather violent and seedy (which is probably why it was scrapped) you can watch it here.
