Katy Perry is a good singer and all and even if you say you don't like her songs at all you probably will agree they are VERY VERY catchy. When she appeared on So You Think You Can Dance her performance wasn't very good when she sung 'I kissed a girl' She sang in a much lower voice and didn't didn't even touch those high notes she had. But that was a good first performance as a debut live performance on a high rating show of course!!

Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California, USA. The middle child of two pastors, she grew up listening to gospel music and singing in church.After Steve Thomas and Jennifer Knapp signed Perry to their label Red Hill Records, she released her first CD Katy Hudson in 2001, a Christian gospel album. According to several Christian radio stations, Katy Perry's most recent album One of The Boys has raised a considerable amount of controversy as her single "I Kissed a Girl" promotes sexual activity that conflicts with her Christian upbringing; on the other hand, the single "Ur So Gay" has been interpreted as being homophobic for its derogatory use of the word "gay". In her teenage years, Perry found a Queen album with her friend, "From then on, they have been my biggest influence". Also among her musical influences are Alanis Morissette as well as Heart and Joni Mitchell. Perry changed her surname to Perry because "Katy Hudson" was too close to Kate Hudson. Perry was her mother's maiden name.
Her two songs, "Ur So Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl", have been cited as being homophobic as well as misandric by columnists, activists and commentators including Glenn Sacks, gay periodicals like the Washington Blade, and prominent bloggers including Feministe.
MSNBC contributor Tony Sclafani wrote, "The litmus test of hypocrisy here is that if you substituted a different minority in Perry’s tunes, they’d never get airplay. 'I Kissed a Black Guy' or 'Ur So Korean' would not be Top 40 bound. For that matter, a song called 'I Kissed a Boy,' sung by a guy, would probably die on the vine."
Others, such as Chicago Sun-Times columnist Dr. Laura Berman, find the lyrics positive, arguing that "the fact that this song (I Kissed a Girl) is sparking so much interest suggests that our society is beginning to accept that there isn't always one box (gay or straight) for people to check.

All I can say to this is: WHAT?!?!?!? "I Kissed a Girl" has been cited as Homophobic? What were those columnists smoking?!
