Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
[Virgin]

'I Kissed A Girl' is Katy Perry's first proper release from her debut album 'One Of The Boys'. Despite it having not even been released physically in the UK yet, the song has recieved so much interest as a download alone that it entered the charts at number 1, meaning it will be at the top for a long time to come.

The lyrics of the song are obviously meant to be controversial - "I kissed a girl and I liked it". Katy grew up with a strict Christian background and maybe this is her way of being rebellious! It's pretty lame but obviously works with a lot of people... It's one way of trying to get attention I suppose!

The tune would have probably done quite well without the "Look at me!!" lyrics, as it's very catchy. Once you'e heard this song once you'll have it in your head for at least the rest of the day. It's dancey and well produced by Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Kelis, Avril Lavigne, Missy Elliott and the Sugababes).

Katy Perry doesn't have a particulary good voice so it all depends on her next release to see if she's just a one hit wonder. She may have to keep on throwing out songs with attention grabbing lyrics if she wants to keep in the game!
