Why we love Christina Perri
There’s nothing better than an overnight success story, so buckle in, because a mere 24 hours before everyone started raving about Christina Perri’s Jar Of Hearts she was working as a waitress in a Beverly Hills café.
”I couldn’t go back to waitressing, I was too busy, but I still made sure to cover all my shifts,” she admitted. “I couldn’t be like, ‘ah, I quit!’”
After Christina Perri's song was used on Dancing With The Stars (the US and Brucie-less version of Strictly Come Dancing) Christina became huge, with her song getting covered on an episode of Glee and sung by Craig Colton on this year’s X-Factor. How did she feel seeing a biscuit factory worker belting out her song?
”I heard about it when I was on a plane, so I YouTubed it and was amazed,” she said.
But anyone thinking Christina Perri is a typical pop star, think again. She has a ton of awesome tattoos (including ‘LA’ on her shoulder and a bow on the back of her right thigh), she got married at the age of 21 (at Disneyland) and she’s got a mean right hook.
”The girls [in Philadelphia] are tougher than the guys… I had a habit of kissing their boyfriends, so I got hit a lot,” she told us. Christina Perri is one tough cookie, but you wouldn’t know it.
