Hit Record Alert: Katy Did It!

Posted by Michael Musto at 12:00 PM, May 12, 2008

A friend of mine with an unerring sense of what's going to top the charts swears that the next big thing—this summer's "Umbrella," as it were—will be "I Kissed a Girl" by 23-year-old Californian pop rocker Katy Perry. The song has Perry drunkenly smooching a babe and liking it, while hoping her boyfriend doesn't whoop her ass. It's a nice sentiment, certainly better than her last one, "Ur So Gay," which engaged in that awful trend popularized by Kelly Osbourne—the one where the g word is used as an epithet. So check out Perry's song and see it you feel blissfully kissed by her or if it's too gay and she should stick to penises.

The song isn't much, but I LOVE her voice!!!!

She sounds almost like Souxsie Sioux or one of those old punk divas. It would be nice to see if she's capable of deeper or more profound material instead of just gimmick songs.

Is this "unerring" friend someone who would not be described as "big?"

I never reveal my sources!

"I Kissed a Girl"? Didn't a singer named Jill Sobule have a minor hit with a song of the same name a few years ago?

Yeah, she did, but it was a different song.
