I wanted to think up a clever title to attract people to this blog like "I killed Kate Perry and i liked it" but i thought that sounded a bit threatening so i decided against it...i think the current one portrays my point though.
Everyone is playing this song at the moment and its driving me nuts. Its not just driving me nuts because every passing car and HMV is blasting out this generic bile. its mainly because of the songs self awareness. Its gaining mainstream success because its conteroversial...and it knows it. Its conteroversial because homosexuality is STILL tabboo and im sure that religious organisations and parents around the country are terrified this song is going to single handedly turn the children of the world into Julian Clareys. In terms of catchiness factor its "Umberella" all over again. i have a feeling this song isnt going away for a long time.
And who the hell is Kate Perry exactly? Previous to this song i had never heard of her. She seems to be the new flavour of the month. She resembles an American Kate Nash in every sense right down to her pretentiously flamboyant dress sense.
One thing i really hope about this Kate Perry fad is that gay people do not encourage this woman. If you listen to her actual lyrics especially in the song "i kissed a girl and i liked it" she is doing more to sully the name of Lesbians around the world than to stand up for it. The song basically says: "im a straight woman who has a boyfriend and i am kissing this girl out of pure curiosity...also she means nothing to me and its all just a game to me" If you dont believe me, stop dancing around mindlessly to the poppy electro beat and actually listen to the lyrics...they arent difficult to interperet as shes not exactly a musical poet.
I would like to say i cant wait to stop hearing this song but i know once that happens the next flavour of the month will come...and they only get worse.
