Katy Perry Vs Anna Christine Similarities And Differences

Hi ladies it's me again and happy Tuesday! I hope and pray that each of you ladies and your families are doing well. I'm happy to present another blog that may surprise y'all and it's called "Katy Perry Vs Anna Christine Similarities And Differences". I know that may seem crazy but please hear me out. If you ladies saw my previous blog it's about my latest book about Anna Christine! (I also made a YouTube video about it and trust that it will get several views in Jesus name!) This blog is about who Anna Christine was loosely inspired from! Let's dive deep into the life of Katy Perry. Alot of you ladies may or may not know that Katy Perry is a secular artist, actress, and into the fashion industry since 2008 with the release of her album "One Of The Boys". But what I'm about to mention here are things about her background that may surprise y'all but another purpose is me sharing this so we know how to pray for her too. The first thing I want to share is Katy Perry is not her real name but rather a stage name! I know right? The title of my latest book Anna Christine did y'all know is my fictional characters stage name? I know right? That's the first thing that Katy Perry and Anna Christine have in common! Katy Perry's birth name is Kathryn Elizabeth Hudson while Anna Christine's birth name is Lisa Marie Pickler! (The part Lisa Marie was named after the late Lisa Marie Presley and her maiden name Pickler came from American Idol season 5 finalist and country artist Kellie Pickler!) The second thing they have in common is they are white women who have dark hair. The third thing they have in common is they come from a family of five (I do as well) and were pastors daughters! What? I know right? Katy Perry's parents are Pastor Keith and Pastor Mary Hudson (nee Perry) and they were "hippies" (Y'all remember the hippie movement in the 1960s through the 1980s?) before they became Christians! My character Anna Christine's parents weren't hippies before becoming Christians but they had a unique past. Pastor Leraine Pickler (nee Tatome) Anna Christine's mom was a Mormon while her earthly father Pastor Jerad Pickler Sr was a Roman Catholic before both of them moved to Texas and before they became Christians! Both the Hudson family and the Pickler family went to Bible college and graduated and their kids (especially Katy Perry and Anna Christine) at one time were heavily involved in church! The fourth thing which is pretty obvious is that God gave both Katy Perry and Anna Christine the ability of being great singers! They've been great singers since they were toddlers and used to sing in their church for a good part of their lives. They also became songwriters as a preteen or early teen years! The fifth thing that maybe surprising to hear is that these ladies moved from their hometowns and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to sign with independent Christian labels! Katy Perry who was then known as Katy Hudson signed with Red hill records while my fictional character Anna Christine signed with independent Christian label Judah records! When Katy Hudson was about seventeen years old in 2001 when she released her self-titled debut album while my fictional character Anna Christine released her self-titled debut album in 1990 when she was sixteen years old under the name Lisa Marie Pickler! I know that's crazy right? The sixth thing that Katy Perry and Anna Christine have in common is sadly the independent Christian record labels they signed to went bankrupt and out of business one year after their debut albums were released! I know right? Instead of seeking another Christian record label and remaining true to their Christian roots they drifted further away from the Lord and started getting into the things of the world. They left their hometown and Nashville, Tennessee to seek record labels in the secular music world! The seventh thing that Katy Perry and Anna Christine have in common is that several years after their self-titled debut album, they found success in the secular music world. As I already mentioned Katy Perry in 2008 released her secular music debut album called "One Of The Boys" while my fictional character Anna Christine released her solo secular music album in 1996 called "The Heart" inspired by season 4 American Idol winner and country artist Carrie Underwood's 2005 debut album "Some Hearts". Those are the things that Katy Perry and Anna Christine have in common. What are some differences between them? Well first of all Katy Perry was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California and was born in the year 1984 while Anna Christine was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and was born in 1974! Katy Perry is the middle child in her family (She has one older sister and one younger brother) while Anna Christine is the oldest of three children (Has a younger sister and younger brother) in her family just like me! Another thing is that Katy Perry dropped out of high school but got her GED while Anna Christine skipped a grade as a child and graduated from high school a year early one year before she turned eighteen! Anna Christine had a romantic relationship with her first boyfriend (who became her first husband) and got pregnant out of wedlock and had a child. That didn't at all happen to Katy Perry because she fell in love later in life. Katy Perry from 2002 until 2007 was looking for record deals that fell through and worked as a songwriter for various secular artists. Anna Christine at seventeen until eighteen years old (1991 until 1992) worked at her aunt's daycare on weekdays and sang background vocals for secular artist Marcella Veldez. The following year she quit those jobs and joined a fictional Grammy award female band called the "Soul Divas" for three years from 1992 until 1995 prior to her releasing her secular solo album "The Heart" in 1996. Katy Perry fell in love and married famous Comedian named Russell Brand in 2010 but divorced in 2012 and they had no children together. On the contrast, Anna Christine was married three times, divorced twice, and had six kids (three sons and three daughters) from each of her marriages! (She had two kids from her first marriage to Wyatt Jennings Sr, two kids from her second marriage to Stuart Johnson Sr, and her two biracial children with her third marriage to Michael Owens Sr her manager and black husband.) Katy Perry later fell in love with famous actor Orlando Bloom and they had a daughter during COVID named Daisy! Katy Perry only has a only child a daughter while Anna Christine has six adult children, and has 21 grandkids by the end of the story! But what makes the biggest difference is that at 32 years old in 2006 (After fifteen years of being backslidden) Anna Christine recommitted her life to Christ and did her last secular music tour with her friends and vowed to "walk away from the Hollywood life" to live for Christ. In addition to that she relocated with her household (Her third husband Michael Sr and six kids) back to Nashville, Tennessee and attended her parents (Pastor Jerad Sr and Pastor Leraine) church "Nashville Riverside Church" a church they co-founded together. Two years to her Christian walk and leaving the secular music industry, when she was 34 years old, Anna Christine and the "Nashville Riverside Choir" released their gospel album in 2008 the same year Katy Perry released her 2008 album "One Of The Boys"! (Pastor Leraine directed the "Nashville Riverside Choir" and co-wrote some songs along with her daughter Anna Christine as well too.) Another important thing ladies is we need to continue to pray for Katy Perry. Pray that God softens her heart, pray that God brings back to her remembrance of the Christian values that her parents Pastor Keith and Pastor Mary Hudson taught her, and for her to give her life to Christ. Pray that Katy Perry will not only get saved but also leave the secular music industry and become a Christian artist. Pray that her only child Daisy will want to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior too. I don't agree with Katy Perry's lifestyle but she needs prayer as did our unsaved loved ones and strangers who are non-Christians or prodigals. That's part of why Anna Christine was written. That's what I wanted to share with you ladies. Blessings, happy Tuesday, hope to see y'all at my virtual prayer meeting, and pray for my book as well as for Katy Perry to come to Christ!
