Katy Perry




Mademoiselle Perry stormed the charts recently with her single I Kissed A Girl.


I know opinion has been polarised and households within earshot of a radiowave have been divided about the merits of such a single and whether it is a litmus test about the mental condition of the nation as a whole.


Never has such a pop single generated such furore - more questions have been fired out at Miss Perry than Gordon Brown.


Is she a one-hit wonder a la Chesney Hawkes?


Is this single an act of desperation from the record label to reel the single-buying public with clever gimmickry - and do they really believe we're that unsophisticated in what we purchase that we'd simply swallow it and smile?


Is this song plain old drivel? And if I like it, does that make me an idiot with limited musical tastes?


So many questions, from a public facing so much uncertainty already.


So let me put this clearly across, just as I mentioned to the listeners of BBC Radio Lancashire recently, so that there can be no misgivings and hopefully, it will end all confusion hence-forth:


She kisses girls. And she likes it.

Now just buy the record and shut up.
