I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
Album: One Of The Boys; Genre: Pop
You probably know that a single is gonna be a smash hit simply by looking at its song title. But ain't "I Kissed A Girl" a pretty common song title? Yes, there's nothing extraordinary with this title, if it's sung by Ne-Yo or Usher but in this case, this song is actually sung by a girl!!
Taken from American singer-songwriter Katy Perry's album "One Of The Boys", this second single has gained a significant amount of controversy since it became public as the lyrics tell of Katy's experience of kissing another girl.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it."
To-date, "I Kiss A Girl" has peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, proving once again that controversy do sell afterall. Remember the Russian singing duo t.A.T.u who first appeared on the music scene as a lesbian couple? Their debut English album gave us the monstrous hit single "All The Things She Said". But as soon as the fans found out that they were just faking it as part of the group's image, their follow-up album failed to chart.
But given where credit should be due, this single does have a catchy chorus. And coupled with the burlesque-type setting of the music video and its risque lyrics, it is no wonder that the single has gained significant popularity since its release.
