[QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney:832094"][QUOTE="rbss:831594"]Well I know people are going to accuse me of over-thinking/reading into this, but I believe that you need to be analytical and incisive to see through the brainwashing that the media puts you through. So that is my response to that inevitable criticism. Basically, if you pay attention to the lyrics/watch the video, the song 'I Kissed a Girl' completely marginalizes female homosexuality, reducing it to a "naughty" thing that drunk sluts do at parties. Something that is "bad," but wild girls do it a little bit just for fun on the side. In my opinion, that is completely derisive to people who are actual lesbians and is an insidious way to influence the popular consciousness to view homosexuality in a certain way, as something that is forbidden. The very final shot of the video shows Perry waking up, looking alarmed, and breathing a heavy sigh of relief when she sees she is sleeping next to a man.[/QUOTE] I think the other nasty undercurrent to the song is how nicely it fits with her conservative Christian upbringing's view of homosexuality and whether or not it can be "cured". In "I kissed a girl" homosexuality isn't just something "good girls" don't do or in opposition to "how they should behave", it's also something done on a whim. Perry views sexuality as a choice, with no innate attraction aside from how many cosmos are in her system. That's just one of the things that's bothered me since that song came out. Beyond the content Perry's voice is pretty weak and she gets really contrived in an attempt to sound like a strong vocalist, the beat is nothing special, and if I want to listen to Zooey Deschanel's music I'll listen to She & Him.
