Katy Perry performs 'Ur So Gay'
Go HERE for more photos by Andrew Harris
Well last night Katy Perry treated us to a very intimate performance. Name not ringing a bell? Well just hold on, cause she'll be blowing up in about 7.2 seconds. We were invited to be part of a select group of writers and bloggers to witness Katy perform her new single 'Ur So Gay' and a few other tunes in the offices of Cornerstone Promotions. Expectations for the young Angelino are pretty high with Perez Hilton calling her a more talented and prettier Avril Lavigne, and Madonna singing her praises on the radio telling listeners 'Ur So Gay' is her favorite song right now and even suggesting they go check it out on itunes. So with all the hype we wondered exactly what was up.
Well what's up is Katy Perry is a soulful newcomer with not only good looks but respectable chops, and an engaging stage presence. One could even say she is really very rather charismatic and such. Her music is versatile, throughout her performance I could so hear it over the credits of the OC or something BUT, it had depth, wit and her voice…. kinda excellent. She was pretty funny joking around with the audience and letting us know her inspirations for the tunes. One thing that gets me about 'Ur So Gay' is the way Katy takes the word gay and made it a bit like the N word. You know where it has another connotation, carries a different message. I asked her about it and she told me yeah but still only certain folks are really allowed to use it in that way, (same with the N word in my opinion). She told us the song was about an emotionally unavailable boyfriend. And with lyrics that reference H+M, and myspace, it's pretty on target, and really really astute commentary. Well we got pictures and a behind the scenes look at the making of the video, you know the deal…. peep them

Whoever thinks she isn't hot, go watch the video for "I kissed a girl" by Katy on youtube. You will cream your pants. My girlfriend slapped me just for watching. Not only that, it's a really catchy tune :P My buddy Amanda was singing it all day.

More than anything, I really admire Katy's fashion sense. She combines super cute bright colours with oversized jewelry and her jet black hair. She's like a Modern 1950's pinup girl and it's just gorgeous. She has an amazing voice, and this is coming from someone who favours male vocals (screamo at that), but she has both a deep and a high voice which sounds just fantastic. I disagree with anyone who says she is a slut, you can tell from her music that she has lived life, and now that she has worked really hard and gotten her albums out there, it's fair for her to have some fun and party on up! BRING ON MORE SEXY GIRL-POWER!

Know what, anyone who has something against her for singing she kissed a girl has problems, who said its not ok to kiss girls, live a life, infact get one .. people who slag gay people off are insecure with their own sexuality, it disgusts me how people make jokes about gay people, they have feelings, why should tye not be accepted who says that its not right, i hope if there is a heaven you hetrosexuals will be the ones being judged for judging the gays, its like calling another black person the N word, you don't say it less your black, dont slag gays unless you are, it can be offensive, you brainless twats :].

I really liked her song "I Kissed A Girl." I like how she has the guts to right a homophobic song. Most people reject what they don't understand which holds most of us back from moving forward. Give her a chance. Dont be so negative. For the record, I don't think she's gay, but I think she maybe she's bisexual. But either way, it's none of our business.

So Katy Perry gets to use the word Gay in the same way only specific group of people can use the "N Word" ? Why is that? Is she gay? Is she somehow close to the gay community?And for the record I'm black and I NEVER use the "N Word". As far as I'm concerned it has only one connotation and carries only a negative meaning.

Katy Perry is a very talented artist. She said that she writes her songs based on past experiences. Even if she is gay or bi, its none of your business. Maybe it was a mistake when she was little, although I doubt it. And I'm so fucking tired of every one being so critical about gays and lesbians and bis. I mean, its their life. They should just buzz the fuck off. If that's her preference in gender, well then leave her alone. She is a very talented singer and performer so whoever has a problem should just look at themselves before judging other peoples' lives.

I love her songs. My friends sister got me hooked to Katy Perry. I love I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, and Wish You The Worst...They are my 3 favs by her...But I love ALL of her songs...Seriously...I have like, every single song of hers on my iPod Nano. And you know what, WHO CARES IF SHE IS A LESBIAN OR BISEXUAL!!!! Nobody should be judged by the gender they like, they should be judged by their personality. And if ANYONE has a problem with Katy and her music...THEN DON'T FRICKIN LISTEN TO IT YOU LOSERS!!! God, common sense here.... And don't say things like she is a slut, or she is bisexual or a lesbian or whatever....Cause chances are, I'm sure some day, you'll say that, to someone, and they will SLAP you, cause they are like, major fans of Katy Perry....I know I'd slap anyone who says shit about her without actually knowing if she is or not...And hey, she has feelings too, after all, she IS human...So you losers who don't like her, don't listen to her music, it's that fricken easy...Jeese. And don't go talking shit about her....Cause she RULES! She is like, my effin IDOL!!! I LOVE HER MUSIC AND I LOVE HER!!!!

She did not write her songs. She did not write her music. She is an ex-Christian girl singer with very weak chops who was pre-packaged, injected with plastic by the music industry, gyrated and spun, and then put on stage only because she is cute and ambitious. The writer of this story should be abashed for shilling for her parent company. Just admit she is another fako product, albeit entertaining. She is a solo singer like Bill Clinton is a lonely bachelor. Both are whores, sorrounded by crack whores.

I like her music and she is a pretty girl for sure. Her sexuality is up to her. As far as I can tell from her lyrics she is neither gay nor promoting it, kissing a girl once is not after all lesbianism -whether or not she liked it. UR so Gay is only saying that the male subject of the song has gay traits without actually being so. This is not disrespectful, 'the yoof' have been using gay as an adjective out of its recent context for some time. Still, it takes some doing to manage to annoy both sides of the gay/ straight divide at once and still sell well. Go Katy!

Katy Perry is an amazing artist. whether she is gay or not does not change who she is. i have no idea why people are so judgemental towards her. I'm bi nobody treats me differently. just because she's a celebrity every body thinks it's wrong, but truth is, is that she is just a normal person who needs to figure it out on her own and it is none of our business. so just leave it alone.

cynda , she IS a slut . she says she literally " chews her birth control " . so yes , she's certainly a slut . you saying she's just young , worked hard , and enjoying her life , is just your laughable excuse and hideous justification for her being a slut . if women don't like being called sluts , it's real simple , don't be one . nuff said .

What's wrong with being a slut or a player or whatever you want to be. Funny how it's always some jealous cow who is not having any fun and therefore has to kill someone else's fun by labeling them "sluts" What do you care what grown women do or don't do in their bedrooms?
