Katy Perry

Kanye WestThere are only two weeks to go before the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and the excitement’s growing like wildfire. 

Kanye, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Katy Perry… so many great artists are up for awards. Kanye should win with Good Life, but I’ve thought that before. Frankly, he should have accumulated a shelf full of awards for his videos by now. He’s a creative genius and we all know it. Why not just give him his awards and sleep well at night?!

Katy Perry

Unless you’ve been living in a cave or on a Country Music station, you’ve heard Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”   When I first heard the song, I thought it was Amy Winehouse.  But I’d heard all of her stuff and knew she’d never done a song about kissing a girl. Besides, a few lines into the song I realized it wasn’t Amy.

I listened to the end for the DJ to give me the name, but all he said was, “This girl’s getting a lot of comparisons to Amy Winehouse!”  Then he went into details about the weather.

Thanks, guy.

When I got home, I jumped on GOOGLE and soon found out what I needed to know.  That was a few weeks ago and, of course, by now everyone knows Katy.

On his website, Perez Hilton wrote: “If Avril Lavigne were actually talented, pretty, and had an appealing personality, she’d be Katy Perry. She’s got the whole package!”   Ouch.

Katy has said, “I don’t care who I’m compared to as long as people listen to the music.  Usually I find it funny to say I’m like a skinnier version of Lily Allen and a fatter version of Amy Winehouse. It always renders a good chuckle.”

Katy’s gaining a monstrous following – it’ll be interesting to see where this all goes.  She very well be the next big thing.
