Katy Perry: Gospel Singer to Pseudo-Gay Icon

Katy Perry: Gospel Singer to Pseudo-Gay Icon

Katy Hudson and Katy Perry are one and the same person. However, from the albums that have been released under these two names, you will observe a stark contrast. It is another Dr. Jeckyll-and-Mr. Hyde scenario where well-behaved mistress meets rebellion. In the case of American pop star Katy Perry, the road to perdition seems to be the more enticing path, at least for the meantime.

Katy Perry was born in a Santa Barbara, California home in October 1984. With loving and doting Christian pastor parents, Katy knew God and His love at an early age. Her singing talent was maximized in the church choir where she sang gospel songs from age 9 to 17. That was the only music exposure she had since her mother banned her from listening to other kinds of music.

When Katy was 16 years old in 2001, she signed under Red Hill Records and released a self-titled album namely, Katy Hudson. Katy had a promising career as a Christian artist with song lyrics that were so personal and genuine and a voice so distinct.

You will find that in a lot of Christian families, pastor’s kids are more often than not, the ones who Satan lures. In the year 2007, Katy changed her stage name to Katy Perry and released her first internet single “Ur So Gay” which received attention in spite of not topping the charts. Her second single entitled “I Kissed a Girl” rocked the world. The controversy that followed after the song’s release has not fizzled to this day and Katy Perry remains under scrutiny by gay groups as well as the Christian community for her songs.

This august 2010, Katy Perry will release a new album with the title “Teenage Dream.” It is expected to top the Billboard charts once again. As to Katy Perry’s spiritual condition, no one can tell. Stardom may have brought her to the worldly environment that she is in today, but the same stardom can also be the triggering force that will pave the way back home to her Christian roots. Only time will tell.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand

American pop singer and songwriter Katy Perry and English comedian, actor and author Russell Brand are now officially engaged after a whirlwind courtship that brought their eager fans to confusion. Russell Brand proposed to Katy Perry in India.

The good-girl-gone-bad musician Katy Perry seems to be taking interesting turns after her complete turnaround from Christian artist to Pseudo-Lesbian songwriter. From a faith-filled album self titled “Katy Hudson” in 2001, she chose the stage name Katy Perry for the release of her first single under Capitol Records with an uncanny title, “Ur So Gay.” Her second single entitled “I Kissed a Girl”, which has had Christians judging the lyrics as filth-filled, was responsible for her claim to fame.

Interestingly, she has had an attraction to the un-Christian, to include self-declared drug and sex addict, Russell Brand. The English comedian is infamous for his promiscuity and drug abuse. Currently however, he seems to have declared an end to such abusive and filthy behavior and has only alcohol abuse to deal with.

Wedding plans are on the way even with a groom-to-be as unpredictable as Russell Brand. It is no easy task for Katy Perry but she has already written down a few ideas for the BIG day. In a recent interview with People Magazine, Katy Perry asserted that the wedding will be a small and private affair. However, the couple plans to throw a big reception for those who will not be in the ceremony.

Katy Perry has chosen John Galliano to design her wedding gown. She was recently labeled as the Hottest of the Hot in Maxim’s Hot 100 for the year 2010. Katy Perry also confirmed that the wedding will not be held in her hometown, Santa Barbara. When asked what she liked about Russell Brand, Katy Perry readily blurted, “His vocabulary!” Clearly, a bad boy with an English vocabulary gets all the hot babes.
