The young Californian singer-songwriter first generated a heaping helping of online buzz in 2007 with "Ur So Gay," in which she accuses a disappointing boyfriend who "doesn't even like boys" of being, well, take a guess. Then, in 2008, she shot up the charts with the Sapphic sweet-talker "I Kissed a Girl." Kind of a surprising turn of events for the daughter of two pastors who wasn't allowed to listen to secular music as a kid and got her start in Christian music, releasing a 2001 album under then name Katy Hudson. Or maybe not -- if you believe the old saw about preacher's daughters <I>and</I> once you learn that Perry says her life changed when she discovered Queen as a teenager. By 2004, she'd worked with Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette) and the Matrix (Avril Lavigne), been signed to Columbia and been hailed by the likes of <I>Blender</I> as the Next Big Thing! But nothing really clicked until she released her debut, <I>One of the Boys</I>, on Capitol in 2008 and got her gay on. - Rachel DevittPopen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:14:49 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7330911&rws=%2Fkaty-perry%2Fmusic-videos.rss Katy Perry may or may not actually <I>be</I> gay, but she's certainly made her young career with coy, playful references to sexuality -- her own and her paramours'.
