Summer pop tune catchy
Katy Perry performed her hit single “I Kissed A Girl” on “The View” this morning, and in return, Whoopi Goldberg kissed the singer on the lips. This pop-rock song is a juggernaut that will get stuck in your head and make you question your boundaries.
The song “I Kissed A Girl” has been No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the last five weeks, which is a complete shock, because who is this girl?
The California-based, 23-year-old singer/songwriter just released her debut album, “One of the Boys,” this past June, and now she is the girl of the summer with the song of the summer.
No one even knew Perry’s name until April when Madonna praised Perry’s single “Ur So Gay” on an Arizona morning radio show. Since then, Perry released her now infamous song, and she’s everywhere.
The first time I heard the single, I was pleasantly surprised by the singer’s raspy rock voice, but I was not impressed by the song. I thought this girl was pushed by a label to cash in on the bisexual draw like Tila Tequila, but now I can’t get the song out of my head.
I have grown to like the woman empowering pop-rock song because it has a good beat to dance to and a very catchy chorus that is fun to sing to.
Although Perry’s two hit singles are getting some flack for being homophobic, I think it’s harmless, and if anything, very reminiscent of Madonna.
After more consideration of Perry’s work, I have found her to be a pretty genuine artist, and I think we will be seeing her on the pop charts for a long time to come.

I hate longboarders said: Longboarders are the scourge of campus. They move so horribly slowly, but they feel the need to move so erratically that you can't pass them on your bike.
And don't give me that "bikes shouldn't be on the sidewalks" crap.

student said: There is parking available quite nearby, actually - on weekdays, metered spots and on evenings and weekends tons of free spots - in the new(ish) garage that wraps around Morrill.
I have to say that I think the museum space looks really cool, and the fact that it's going to be right along Grand River and across from the already-hideous Student Services Building minimizes its impact to the old-timey look of north campus.
