Singer songwriter Katy Perry, a Pastors’ daughter, used to sing christian music about God. Now she’s singing a different tune about kissing a girl (and liking it) that has just topped the US charts. I suppose a little faux lesbianism never hurts when it comes to pop careers. 

A few years back, two Russian girls in the name of t.A.T.u took the music world by storm, thanks to a fake ‘we are lesbian lovers’ plot.

The song, which unseated Coldplay’s “Violet Hill” from the top, has become the number 1,000th No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The first No.1 hit in the rock era was Bill Haley and His Comet’s “Rock Around the Clock” in 1955.

“I Kissed a Girl,” is the second single from Katy Perry’s album ‘One of the Boys’, which recently debuted in the top 10 of Billboard Album Chart. Perry said the song is, “about the magical beauty of a woman.” This is not Perry’s first dabble into cheeky homosexuality, the first single of this album was a fun song called, “Ur So Gay.”

Naturally, “I kissed a Girl” has come under fire and criticism from some conservative groups, claiming it promotes promiscuity. Hey, a kiss never hurt anyone!

Catchy song actually... Interesting how she uses terms like, "Taste of her cherry chapstick..." She's also clear to note in the song, "I hope my boyfriend don't mind it," which gets at the 'faking' part. Clever.

I kissed a Girl (And I liked It) too.

it's like nobody even remembers Jill Sobule. same exact song title? hello? was anyone here alive in the 90's? Sure, Jill's "i kissed a girl" wasn't being so teenaged and faux-innocent, but there was a sincerity ol' Jill exuded that made me a lot less inclined to roll my eyes. This Kate Perry, on the other hand...more like "Dear Penthouse Magazine"-fodder.

hhaha, its funny cause some one of brother's girlfriends had the title of the song on her msn name and he got confused. Once he heard the song and knew where that msn name came from he was relieved, then,he had another puzzled look on his face. Oh the things we do to men.....love it!

I wonder if we will soon have a straight male singer with a "I Kissed a Guy" (and I liked it).

By: mediterranean on Jun 29, 08 | 412 Trends | 105 Comments

let's hope so. this is just old pop standard, reheated and slightly revamped...it's time for bi-curious straight men to step forward and admit it, for the delight of all the pervy ladies out there!

By: angela buzzard on Jun 29, 08 | 0 Trends | 4 Comments

oh god. a straight guy kissing a dude and likin it aint my cup of tea. It's like tryin to be Ricky Martin. Not cool at all. Men are just fascinated with gurls who like other gurls sexually. Men are just twisted, lets face the facts and move on. If a male singer does what Katy is doing, then he is a moron, or he is just trying to get a wider audience. OYYY,,,so disturbing!

i don't see men who are normally straight kissing men (like on a dare, or at a party...) as having anything to do with Ricky Martin. i am sure there are women out there who like me find it sexy and unusual if it's just a one-off.

By: angela buzzard on Jun 29, 08 | 0 Trends | 4 Comments

The Ricky Martin reference is about celebs being vague about their sexuality to get a wider audiences. As for some women out there finding straight men kissing other men sexy, even if it was a one-off, well, hmmm, not sure about that,I will ask around. :D

By: Noora Abu Eitah on Jun 29, 08 | 225 Trends | 30 Comments

oh yeah, i see what you're saying now. like how Ani Difranco pretended to be a lesbian for a while to get lesbian audiences devoted to her? ha. not as many men do this as women, though, i bet.

Ya know what would be fun? A gay guy singing this song. The lyrics would be perfect.
