Ellen invites Katy Perry into her bathroomLast Thursday, Katy Perry appeared on Ellen Degeneres' Bathroom Concert Series, a new feature on her talk show where she invites guests to sing out-of-tune duets with her. Of course, the song of choice was "I Kissed a Girl." One might be confused as to why Ellen would sing along to a song that paints same-sex smooching as something naughty and abnormal, but check out Ellen's facial expressions as she sings certain lines:
Ellen has certainly mastered the art of subtle commentary. (However, after seeing this clip, many of you might conclude that she should stick to dancing.) Submitted by on March 23, 2009 - 10:00am. |

That's hilarious!! Katy
=P
loved it!
Awesome!
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire rendition. Ellen says so much without having to actually say anything...she's amazing! =)
"Bon anniversaire et donne moi le salle de bains. Which translates as 'happy birthday and hand me....the bathroom.'"
hilarious
hahahahaha
That was amazing. I love Ellen and her masterful use of the eyebrows.
Also, Katy Perry, how do you forget the words to your own song?
"No problem is insoluble, given a big enough plastic bag."
forgetting your own song
I've done that dozens of times. Haven't you ever forgotten the name of your pet, or a good friend? It's related to a certain emotional state. She was probably, (somewhere, dimly) aware that there was something awkward going on. Maybe it had just dawned on her that she was sitting right next to a ... a ... LESBIAN, and that threw her off.
Whatever the case, if you get thrown off kilter you can forget anything.
i forget the lyrics to my
1000s or millions?
Well done Ellen
Gah, but I hate that song with the firey passion of a thousand suns.
I initially would have been really worried about Ellen having Katy Perry on her show, given the marginalisation of that nasty piece of 'music'. But to have her on in order to show it up and denigrate the lyrics? Priceless.
Well done Ellen :)

I bow to Ellen's greatness
Oh please guys, stop with
Oh please guys, stop with the hypocricy.Very few of us like Katy Perry,judging from previous comments and posts about her and her song,yet you all love her now just because Ellen had her on the show.And how come no one comments on the fact Ellen looks very very thin lately?
Booo.
Errr...
Err ..
I'm with the other replier to your post above, where is the hypocrisy?
Everyone here has, rightly so, stated how much they dislike Katy Perry for her revolting song, and how much they enjoyed Ellen taking her down ... the love is for Ellen, not Perry.

I don't understand the
I don't understand the appeal of Katy Perry, I mean yeah, she is beautiful, but her songs paint homosexuality as something bad ("I Kissed A Girl" and "You're So Gay, And You Don't Even Like Men").

Lyric check!
It's "You're So Gay" as the title. The words, "you're so gay and you don't even like boys."
How do not like a song that insults straight men for primping?
oh jeez, I dislike Kate
OK....
Am i really the ONLY one thats gonna comment that Kate Perry doesnt even know the words to her own song????? I mean REALLY!!!!!!! wow Kinda scary.
PLUS wtg ellen for making fun of her without directly doing so. I mean really she has to be NICE to kate...but this was great!!
I was thinking the same
I was thinking the same thing!!! I mean, this girl doesn't even know the lyrics of her own song :)
And Ellen, with that facial expressions :P
La mejor manera de librarme de la tentación es caer en ella
LOVE KATY!!
Always have and always will, and I'm as gay as they come.
Sure, people have a right to their own opinion, but I really don't see how Ellen is taking the piss out of Katy. I think it's just wishful thinking for some. And the point of Katy not remembering the lyrics...seriously!, you actually thought she didn't remember? Wow!
I thought the bathroom session was hilarious! The part where they sing "I hope my boyfriend don't mind it", you see Katy making a gesture with her hand as if she's saying "oh who cares what he thinks!" But that's just my point of view.
And Katy, I don't care if it experimental, I'd make out with you, even if it is "just to try it"!
REPLACE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN WITH CURIOSITY.
i so agree. enough with the
and
Am I really the ONLY one who's gonna say it was HILARIOUS!!? Both Ellen and Katy did a great job with the eyes and the body language:)
I like Katy Perry (don't know much about the music though apart from the "controversial " pieces) and I don't find her songs offensive, I find them totally straight, and IT IS FINE!:)
It's like singing about a boy you are wrong to be attracted to cos he comes from the bad neighbourhood.
Get a sense of humour and calm down..
Nope...
I agree with you completely.
I don't get the fuss about the song being offensive either, as I have stated in numerous posts before.
REPLACE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN WITH CURIOSITY.
I'm with u , it
I'm with u , it becomes offensive only cuz you make it offensive...people need to chill...and I really don't get how Ellen was making fun of her but...whatever!
Ahhhh!
I loved this for so many reasons! Katy is not as dumb as some of you seem to think. She gets it. I like Katy Perry. I think that she is hilarious. I've done some major research on her (trust me there was a time when I was not fond of my Katy Perry feelings) but the more I learned about her, the more I liked her. She has a great sense of humor, and the whole forgetting the words to her own song was part of that sense of humor. She doesn't really give that much of a shit about what people think.
I feel that its very easy to dislike her (and I completely understand how some of you are angry about her lyrics, and you have a right to your feelings) but I simply can't dislike her. I've tried. She is by no means clueless as to what people think about her. I think that her coming on Ellen, and singing "I Kissed a Girl" with her, more than anything proves that she gets it.

She should stick to dancing??? Come on!
"many of you might conclude that she should stick to dancing"
Oh, come on! That clip is hilarious. That's what I love about Ellen, she's so extremely multisided funny.
Funny but
It's bad when the original singer cannot even sing her own song. Ouch like nails on a chalkboard. Both should stick to dancing haha. Ellen really saved that piece for me with the nodding and the eyebrows.
Edit: before the attacks here is a video of Katy singing live

Love or hate?
Awkwardness = Fun For Us :]
I wonder if some of you are
I wonder if some of you are letting your hate for that song cloud any other view you could have on Katy. She's actually pretty hilarious,and I don't think she's nearly as naive as most people think she is. Maybe you just need to take her songs with a pinch of salt.
Anyway, I thought this was cute! Ellen is quite the singer.
Love Her
as for them singing it together, tottally hilarious and i agree Katy tottally got the irony and knew what was going on, she just played it offmlike she didn't. this one is second only to the ellen and portia one, that one was so sweet

I'm Not Into Labels
I'm An Original, You'll Never Find Another Like me
Katy Perry is horrible
Can we just make note of the
Can we just make note of the fact that Katy Perry not only FORGOT the lyrics to her own song, but she also can't sing for shit. haha
To be honest I don't understand the big hubbabuloo about this song though. It happens. Straight girls kiss other straight girls at parties, and sometimes they like it. I don't see what's so damn controversial about it.
How predictable of AE
New drinking game, everytime Katy Perry is bashed take a shot.
Hate the song all you want [I'm the first to say its def not my fav] but you are all projecting like crazy, in no way was Ellen trying to "take her down" because unlike many posters here, Ellen doesn't politicise a party song. KP is a pretty decent singer, cute, funny and extremely supportive of the gay community. It's not her fault the song became a hit, and its not meant to be offensive. I wish AE writers and readers would just give her a break...
But whatevs the clip was funny :]
Homosexuality is a choice... like cancer.
ohmygod that was
Really?
singer
i dont think katy is a talented singer, but she is who she is. i can tell she has a sense of humor even if i dont like her music. but come on people its supposed to be just a girl anthem. its not serious stuff, and lets face it sex sells and theyre just there to make a buck. plus shes going to perform at the Dinah this year, the worlds largest lesbian event, if that doesnt show her support of the community what does?
plus shes pretty, just enjoy the view.
Obviously some of you
do not watch Ellen. The bathroom concert series is to sing songs in an offkey way and have fun. Katy Perry was joking when she said she forgot the words. The whole thing was just a good time and not meant as anything but that.
Ellen doesn't "stick" it to anyone, unless they're truly hateful to gay people (John McCain) and I don't think that anybody has the right to say that she was doing that here.
Katy Perry is great. Like jordan-writes said above, the more you learn about her the more you like her. She is a very beautiful and pro-gay woman.
I wish everyone would just lay off Katy Perry, because she's not really the issue. Everyone who has a problem with her music should wonder why it became so popular in the first place. Fans make a song a hit by accepting and listening to it, it's not like KP just placed it at first place herself.
I'm gay and I happen to like her music. I've seen her sing live and I now know she can truly sing.
Like the saying goes, "Don't hate the playa, hate the game"
I do have one question though. Does Bridget McManus like Katy Perry? She's always saying that she doesn't like lipsticks, but chapsticks, so I thought that fit perfectly here :)
lol!
i love it! i know Katy has a bad rep on lgbt community but damn i like the girl, i've seen her in some short interviews and i like her i-dont-effin-care attitude. she's hot and i'd do her :D

katy's song
i love her song i kissed a girl, cuz thanks to it, i can flirt and kiss other girls in the club!! and the song put girls kissing other girls like something irresistible and so sexy
seriously, in my country (mex) girls go wild with the song, and u can have a posibility that something happens during the song with some girl u like
she's not really stupid, she's just acting and being fun, and obviously she didn't forget the lyrics, i mean, it's not possible for any person to forget something u have sang like 10000 times!!
Jill Sobule
Just for the record, it's not Katy's song. Jill Sobule back in the mid 90s wrote "I Kissed a Girl". Her version was cute, and the music video was funny. Perry took that and made it vulgar and trashy.
Has Jill ever been a guest with Ellen ?
Actually, it is Katy's
Actually, it is Katy's song.
Jill's had completely different lyrics.
Did you even listen to them both? Or did you just jup to conclusions like so many others have just because they share the same title?
It's not vulgar it's a good little song. People need to stop being so snobish about it.
