I Kissed A Girl

Some of these reviews are very bitter not because of the music but because of the lyrics. This is a great song with a great beat. Please come out of the closet all you Kate Perry I Kissed A Girl haters and use your brain, not your behinds. Oops! Did I say that?

Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl" IS a catchy,cheesy,summertime dance pop song. Former Christian pop star Kate Hudson (now Katy Perry) decides to be "daring" and sings about how she "kissed a girl/I liked it." The song is as cheesy and ephemeral as the girl's cherry chapstick. Perry isn't trying to make a serious statement about lesbian love like Melissa Etheridge's "Come to my window",in which the blues rocker defiantly faces down a condemning society ("what do they know about this love?")

"I kissed a girl" is tacky,like the Jill Sobule version,except Sobule was able to get Fabio for her video,and the song ends with the two women living happily ever after. As a dance pop song,it's fun,with a catchy melody. The instrumentation is perfect for a dancefloor. Other than that,it's not worth taking seriously. Katy Perry kissed a girl, she liked it, it was so wrong, it felt so right... who cares???

Katy, I really don't give a crap that you kissed a girl. Big deal, get over it, and stop trying to get attention. Real men don't care, and aren't turned on by your immature antics. The music stinks too. But your silly attempts for attention to sell cd's is really the most disgusting. I hope you sink like a stone to the bottom of the pond.
And the lesbian that wrote a similar opinion to mine is dead-on....it's crass commercialism and sickening.

I am not a homophobe, but I just have two comments about this mediocre pop song:
1) Between this song, Pink's U + Ur Hand, and countless Hip-Hop "like it from behind" references, it's virtually impossible to listen to the radio today without exposing preteen children to some form of inappropriate overt sexuality.
2) How many young girls will be inspired to "experiment" this summer based on the pop culture validation of this song?

My buddies are obsessed with this and I really can't help but think it's because it's about a girl kissing a girl... and that's it.

The pros I can give this song is a catchy chorus, the song is written fairly well if a bit over repetitive. It's not my style but I definitely see why people love it. Unfortunately for Ms. Perry, (and as another reviewer noted) this song has no endurance, I don't think it will be popular in five years and most people will probably have forgotten about it. It's the flavor of the month, cherry chap stick flavored.

I don't really care for her voice all that much either and I prefer female vocalists. But if you've heard the snippet and like it, then get it. Music is very subjective and even though I and others don't like it lots of people will.
