Introducing: Katy Perry

Katy Perry

America is currently going crazy crazy over Katy Perry so we thought we'd better take a moment to figure out who she is. Currently at #5 in the billboard chart with the 'controversially' titled (n.b. not at all!) 'When I Kissed A Girl' , Katy is 23 and, as seems to happen quite a bit with American stars, has transformed from Christian gospel singer to a right little madam!

The song is written by Cathy Dennis (tick!) and Dr Luke who's the man behind 'About You Now' , 'Since U Been Gone' , 'U+Ur Hand' etc - basically anything big and bouncy with a powerful female singer.

Now we can't quite decide what we think about this song. We like that we can stomp about to it, but we're not sure it really has the greatest tune in the world. We think Miley Cyrus could have sung it a billion times better in any case, and imagine the controversy then!

Have a look at the video and let us know what you think

  • I really like Katy Perry. I've been listening to the album and there are a few good tracks on there. Hopefully she'll be as big here as she is in American and I'm really hoping that Hot and Cold will be the next single because it's definately one of the strongest on the album.

  • I really love Katy Perry! The single is a really catchy pop song and the album is just as good. I'm hoping that her single gets to number one on Sunday and that the next single is Hot and Cold. I've been playing it all day!

  • She's not in the U.K charts yet but is played loads on the radio. she'll probably be number one because of just downloads on iTunes! i like it and sort of agree about the miley cyrus thing but still think katy did a great job on the song (Y)
