"Is &amp;quot;Who You Love&amp;quot; better than &amp;quot;Bound 2?&amp;quot; Katy Perry seems to think so! During a joint appearance with boyfriend John Mayer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, Dec. 20, the 29-year-old singer praised their new music video and gave a slight diss to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian&amp;apos;s recent collaboration.\r\n&amp;quot;Was it your response to Kim and Kanye&amp;apos;s &amp;apos;Bound 2?&amp;apos;&amp;quot; host Ellen DeGeneres asked of Perry and Mayer&amp;apos;s video.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Yes. I thought our response was a little bit more authentic because my hair was blowing in the right direction, though . . .&amp;quot; Perry joked.\r\nIn &amp;quot;Bound 2,&amp;quot; Kardashian goes topless and straddles West while riding on a motorcycle. &amp;quot;She was facing backwards, right? So her hair should have been [blowing the other direction],&amp;quot; DeGeneres agreed.\r\nIn &amp;quot;Who You Love,&amp;quot; Perry, Mayer and other couples ride a mechanical bull together. &amp;quot;We did it in one day and they were real-life couples,&amp;quot; Perry explained. &amp;quot;All of us and they were put on a bull and just shot in slow motion.&amp;quot; Mayer, 36, added with a laugh, &amp;quot;That was the first time I did it sober. That was the first sober bull ride.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe couple of 17 months (with a three-month break earlier this year) admitted to DeGeneres that they have had their ups and downs in their relationship. &amp;quot;I think when two people are involved, someone other than yourself, you have to figure out a compromise in a good way,&amp;quot; Perry explained. &amp;quot;And there&amp;apos;s a lot of respect. You know, I really adore him and respect him as a musician and that&amp;apos;s why I was excited and agreed to do a song with him.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;We have a lot of fun,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Roar&amp;quot; singer added. &amp;quot;We have music as an understanding and love between each other and we connect. It&amp;apos;s like he understands what I do because he does the same thing. And so after a long day, if it&amp;apos;s been tough, I don&amp;apos;t really have to go into it. He just gets it. So it&amp;apos;s nice with that understanding.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPerry and Mayer also told DeGeneres that they will be spending Christmas together this year.\r\n&amp;quot;We do stocking stuffers and we don&amp;apos;t know if we bought each other presents . . .&amp;quot; Perry explained. But Mayer revealed he already has a gift picked out for Perry. &amp;quot;The present is all set,&amp;quot; he confirmed."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
