Katy Perry "I KISSED A GIRL" Live @ Mercury Lounge

[onecircles]

This video was my first exposure to katy perry a few years ago. I was like "this shit is raw and poppy, Fuck yeah!" So this is actually my favorite version and performance of this song. Fug all o yall who think this is a bad performance. She is rocking back when she could rock without worry.

[LiveDJFlo]

PIANO TEACHER plays KATY PERRY brandnew CIRCLE THE DRAIN - LIVE !

[FABIAN7365]

great song 10/10  great singer 10/10 great preformance 9/10 shit crowd0/10

[natemann133]

I agree, the crowd is terrible.

[modbnet]

people who complain about her live performances obviously dont understand the purpose of live music, its not supposed to sound exactly the same as the cd... and her music to me, seems more commercialised on the recordings, whereas in live releases she seems to be of a more punk genre... she should do more punk :P

live recordings without millions of dollars spent on PA equipment are not going to sound like the CD... simple as that

[leewolfgang]

However, her live performances are talentless and therefore studio editing is used for her digital performances to remotely sound like a real singing voice.

[DropDeadDustin]

woah.

look how crazy the crowd is !

:/

seriously.

it's katy perry.

in flesh.

show some action maybe?

:o

[kindaffu]

a remixed product or she should practise live show. everybody could roar like that.

[1xXxednaxXx1]

sounds weird...

xD

[BroTrainer]

who the hell think she is bruce dickinson on no more lies(hey,hey,hey),she is definetely for metal

[kiiikiii12]

I find it terribely attractive

beautiful,natual,silling,spont­anéously

thank you to be yourself

[FabiiThaaaw]

nooo.. i think she sounds great... you are just jealous people.. and dont say anything because you cant even sing well in a microphone... its difficult..

[pebthum]

she sounds good on CD but is crap live

[brycecun]

all you dumbasses out there--its stupifying. listen to ozzie osborn live performances they're much worse than katy's. just google "ozzie live" and listen to him. they all suck too.

Then post on you tube how shitty he is and how bad he sings and how he loses his voice and that he shouldn't be a star blah, blah, blah

jealous babies

[UlisesValenzuela]

kelis and shakira soubd really good live

[artofwar420]

This my friends is called factory produced music. It only sounds good after it's been edited, no way in hell can she sing.

Sure she's pretty, I guess that's all it takes these days to get to the top.

[Clairebear852]

she sounds shit live.

[snoodlemcnoodle]

this is lame i like her but u cant see that good

[mcr4ever1212]

what was she thinking at 2:37? lol...wow no good live..

[rockstarRon]

the PRE-recorded background vocals sound Amazing, good job. Her nack of screaches and monotone vocals is what drives her i believe in her "I don't give a ****" attitude, and ironically musically it sucks but it's selling her.

[allymcwoo]

I thought she could sing...

[machinefhead]

WHAT WAS SHE THINKING AT 2.37 LMAO

[operations1000]

Yep it's official, she sucks on a nightly basis live. Everytime she sounds different and none is good lol.

[bealechenze]

i hate mainstream music n this is why

might sound good on a cd

but horrible live

real musicians can perform the songs live aswell

2.37

great example of shitness

[WinxCodeLyokoGirl]

OMG. It's like karaoke night with my friends, but then worse

[hollowpapa]

Agreed. Totally.

[guitrequiem]

love the song. enough said.

[rocklee0912]

dude ur fucking old camera ruins her voice

[5h1n10]

lol the sound quality was actually pretty decent for a handheld camera.. the problem is, she sounds like a dying horse

[Rockgirl1611]

its not the camera, she really sounds like that.

[oprottenmethiphop]

INDEED NO CAMERA COULD FUCK UP A VOICE LIKE THAT xD

[xDuchessx]

It's really sad that she can't match the quality of her real song. :/

If you want exact CD quality live, try Coldplay.

[stefanotazio]

she might sing bad, but she's pretty hot...

[codehendrix]

this girl is such an artist... her music is just moving period...

[gradesleven]

wow she has an amazing way of maing her voice sound different and has her own way and not trying to sound like everyone else shes fcukin awesome man she rox i love her woooo

[pplportuguese11]

punk rock? this is power pop...

[procrastinatordotexe]

re: the "punkness" is just an answer to her inability to sing live.

so she screams instead of trying to maintain any form of note

[derickmls14]

she killed it

[vafirefighter91]

She is more punkrock live, she's not really a pop singer it's just where all the money is, can't blame her for wanting to get paid.

[genphilip]

punk rock??? your kidding right... this is pop music to its fullest..

[junalenz92]

aaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee­eee

[WhateverGirl4you]

OMG I WAS THERE!

[lonleychild]

wow, i like this version with a live band WAY better

[nhp54]

I have to be honest; she is not a very good singer. If you were to listen to this performance on the radio, you would obviously think the same too. The fact is she is just a hottie with a body and people go easier on her for being attractive. Harsh truth. Good song though.

[Ryania5]

She Sings About How She FEELS Not That She's A HomoPhone

[AvrilMyGodess]

you mean homophobe

[W4rlick123]

HomoPhone... a phone thats homo? o_o

[rocklee0912]

HAHhahhHAHhaHHAHhahAHhaHAHhahH­AHhhaHAHhahHAHhahHAHhjahHhhAHh­ahHhaHAHAhaHAHAaHhaaHahHHAhahH­hahHAhahHA

IM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING HAHAHhahHAHhhHAHhahHAHhahHA

dude eat a cookie better HhahHAHhhhaaHAHhahHAHhhaHA

[missbelle18]

shes good live! and all those people saying she's making fun of lesbians etc, have you actually LISTENED to the lyrics? She's talking about how women are attractive in this song. She's proud to a woman.

[LisaliciousDK]

She's good live ö

[phookachan]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaah

xD

[allenx678]

this was a bad video mostly cause some1 in da audience filmed it ...isnt tht illegal ? :P

[xPANTOFFEL]

damn crowd, stupid asholes.

[namidamaria]

I don't think 'I kissed a girl' is homophobic. Her atitude isn't even against lesbians to be homophobic.

[movielovee]

your right ! shes not a homophob ! she loves her gays.

[oceanbreathessalty]

She is a homophobe, and both of her hits are homophobic. She is crude, and tacky.

[Xain1337]

shes so fucking hot

[AmentiVZ]

All the kids saying she can't sing obviously have never tried doing more than karaoke in their living room or playing Rock Band while singing a bad falsetto. Go watch a live show and get outta your living room; then, realize that you couldn't belt out a solid note that anyone could hear if you had a gun held to your head.

[DragonettesFan]

Thank you!!!

[chancentot2012]

damn hell yeah you are the one who said what i had to say to all of em! thx dude

[artofwar420]

But she's supposed to be a singer right?

[natarshah]

what is wron gwith the crowd man. If she was touring in australia everyone would be screaming

[nnlover1228]

luv her to deathe shes so fuckinghot

[bb121994]

her voic3 is amazing

[Transamstance]

Her voice isn't amazing, its almost ok.

[lilmissjuggalette666]

i think she sucks live but thats my opinion =)

i love this song tho

[deanbeerbelly]

has anyone here seen a live performance shut off mtv get off your fat asses and go see a live band that dosent lip sync.there is a difference between them

[corentindaftpunk]

fuck you ( i)

[Ryania5]

She Sounds Like She's Dying Cause Of The Fans That Take Up Her Reserved Oxygen Also She Is Far Away Sorta

[Cinderella932]

maybe not her best performence, it kinda sounds like she's running abit out of air. but you can tell she's got great voice, cause she really does:D

[13579Sexxiii]

Not her best performance....

but this song is still awesome!!!!

[bhp150ben]

me too

[danzigisjebus]

exactly sumone who feels the same way!!!

:D

[imrejulia]

you're sick..

[quickford]

the sound recording from a handheld video camera is not a very reliable source for judging someone's voice.

[koolarox99]

HOLY CRAP! i sing better THAN HER! she sucks!!! hahehehe

[PooheadsBeware]

she may suck just a little and you may be better and i may be even better than you (i'll post a vid soon :) but i don't gloat about it

[xoxoluvd4everxoxo]

She Sounds Weird Live No Offence

But She Rox

[beautifulbrunette24]

hooooly crap she sounds like a dying animal :(

[atsu0kieuseru]

seriously she sounds good. It's not her voice that's fluctuating like that, it's the sound. She sounds exactly the same in the recording and you can tell if you actually listen to her voice, not the outside factors.

[gradesleven]

she has a horrible voice live i think its her vowels and yes she is drunk if you check her other live concerts her voice is horrible live no offense anybody

[XOXcosmicXOX]

is she like drunk or does she have a horrible voice live :S

[anticrombie23]

what are you talking about, she has an amazing voice, this sounds almost spot on from the track.

[emmarosedeane]

Wow i love love love this song in the recorded version but this girl can not perform live - every live performance i've seen of her on youtube has been dreadful!!!!!!

[mnm2yummi]

im gonna have nightmares! this was HORRIBLE!

[orange11423]

shes way worse live :P

[MaxiLuca]

I was just thinking that.

[dagirl101610]

this is really good!! i listened to this song like 7 times on my sisters ipod!!

[hulaxhoops]

i love her hair!

[darkface10]

I was there, and well, you can't tell in this video, but she was, (excuse my french) FUCKING drunk.

[juvenalthemusketeer]

maybe she kissed a girl!

before the concert...

loll :D

[darkface10]

Maybe. :]

[Coolness1160]

this is crap its not even the right music and her voice keeps going high then low and her voice isnt that strong either the studio one is way better but i still love u katy!

[Ryania5]

This Is The Grungy Live Version. The Studio Version Is Better Or The Music Video Is Shall I Say.......

[lindi4ever]

lol!I GOT OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG...ITS LIKE AN EARWORM TO ME...

[Wildhoney86]

i think shes doin a very good job live.

ppl should realise that she has her own way to sing and the shes no britney or christina or jessica...

thumbs up.

[Wildhoney86]

the = that -.-

[leather7747]

You all need to see the video of her at the Dallas Warped tour. Look for it on youtube. Two girls kiss right after the firt verse and it shocks her enough that she loses her place in the song. Too funny. Love you Katy!!

[fallenangel4gt]

Watch for this babe making it to the top ten this year!!!!!

[fallenangel4gt]

believe me baby...your boy friend won't mind..

as long as he can watch and share !!!! ha ha !~!!what a life we live in!!!...I love it!!!and at the same time i hate it...but OH well!!!I make the best of it with all of these fine babes!!!!...what else can we do?....ha ha ha ha.... lol!!enjoy life people!!!

[getmnymny]

I listened to some of her songs, I liked it

[gradesleven]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA real gay she sounds like a guy sometimez so funny she must of been a tomboy when she was a small girl listening to her songs sounds like it!!!

[hellraser1234]

shes tryin to hard

[BlameItOnThePenguin]

Did u know she used to sing Christian songs b4 she went to pop? Well, it's true! Hard to believe, right?

[NYIVAN]

This girl has swag and an original vibe. very rare now-a-days. she gives me everything I wanted from Gwen Stefani and didn't get when Gwen went solo. The biggest part of being an artist is to be entertaining. She IS entertaining. A lil pink, Avril and Gwen but she manages to give it her own original twist. this girl doesn't feel mass produced. Her lyrics r refreshingly different and conversational. Love her!

[lightbulbber182]

lol on the innocent part she messed up then she fell it almost seeme like she fell off the stage lol i was laughing so hard lmfao!!!! xD

[Raneill17]

Id like to kiss her

[psycomaniacboy]

she have a nice voice i reallly like her

[mrbelt5150]

she sounds the same..so at least she isnt doin a ashley simpson.lmao

[xXGENEbyGENEXx]

I kinda like it when the live performance sounds different from the recording. It makes it seem less fake. And it's not a bad different, either, she's just taking a lot of breaths but it kinda works with the song.

[MyDeadPanda]

She's not that bad. I think she's decent live compared to some other bands or singers.

[rockrchic18]

well all i have to say is this crowd seems  better than the on in austin,tx

[oOSkiTTIeSOo]

She's on Stage..

obviously she's out of breath...

And she's trying different things...

she wants to "pump up" the audience.

[4352297]

check out her live

katy perry - mannequin

i bet you'd change your minds

[act123hsm]

i think she's good live.

maybe her voice is a little strained because she's been singing all night...

[randompplrule1]

I think she was forcing her voice too much.

[rebeccad209]

her voice is better on cd!!!!!!!!!!!

[catherinew5690]

maybe her songs and performance isnt about having a perfect song. its about a unique funky voice along with her unique and quirky songs,etc. shes not pretendign to be celine dion..

[critical93]

i think you're right

and you have to admit- she's a lot better than most of the other bands with vocal-heavy songs

[LaDyLeXi93]

i love this song

but she has no real talent

anyone can go into a recording studio and sound flawless, but you can really tell if theres talent by how they are live. obviously, this video speaks for itself.

[ReginaldsTest]

To be honest, I don't think she sounds much worse here than in the studio. Seems fine for what the song is.

I'd agree she's not much of a talent, but really it's not all about talent for singers... a lot of the all-time greats weren't technically great vocalists.

I'm also probably biased because she's young, cute and female.

[hamofa031396]

i no that becuz i didn't sound anything like i do without a mic and when i got on stage and did a talent show for my school and i sang for radio disney i sound kinda bad but you no wat at least i brign passion and my love for music with me on to the stage!

[hamofa031396]

ok for ya think this is badpart of it is the dang camera and the mic!

[CrAsHlYbRoKeN]

She doesn't sound good live on this son but when she is singing ur so gay live in a different one it was awesome!

[daveyrocz101]

i thought it was fine i'm not a picky bitch like most people....

[itsthecreation]

the way she talk is the same way she sing but she holds a mic....i would love to fuck her and lick some of that sweet juice that she prduce for the supermarkets but her lyrics and songs die out fast

[xxsuperstarsxx]

i can't stand thinking about bands like hedley or avril lavigne, who had to WORK HARD for their fame. avril got discovered in a bookstore and hedley formed after he was on canadian idol, which he had to work to stay in (he had my vote every week) it drives me crazy that these people are just lucky, not having to work. i want to be a singer when i bit older, but i want to work for it. and also, she was especially awful 2:37. that made me almost throw my laptop off my lap i got so scared!

[withloveM]

She sounds alot better in her videos!

[lacy19912009]

yeah...she's pitchy...but not everyone sounds as good live.

half of the artist now-a-days don't.

plus, she doesnt do bad if she doesnt try to go high.

everyone is exaggerating. she sounds AMAZING produced, she isnt excellent live...but she isnt the worst.

[brittchik318]

There is a huge difference in sounding different live and JUST SUCKING! Sorry. This girl cannot sing. LOVE her passion and excitement but this is hard to listen to and actually enjoy. Her pitch is everywhere....

[therealtaryn]

from watching videos of katy, i think she gets nervous on stage. And no band or singer sounds the same on stage, they're never as good, but i think she shows that she definitely has talent and passion. Her voice still has that raw quality that most record execs try to edit out, ya know?

[iluvenjoipanda]

shes horrible!! hilarious! haha shes really pretty though.

[Alex15blue]

Her daddy must be rich.

This is disgusting.

[itsthecreation]

yes i am rich thankyou

[jackiebabii116]

she sounds horable

[MistaRhoi]

She has an awesome drummer.

[risasblackparade]

she has a good voice. i mean, alot of groups and singers are not as good live. it happens. stupid ppl

[milosmoky]

to everyone that likes her live voice have you never heard a real singer before????????

[milosmoky]

sweet i love kareoke this girl aint good at it though

[bcl021000]

There are countless artists who can't sing as good as they sound on their albums. It's rare for it to be any different. Also, she sounds way better on most of her other songs. You have to give her credit for having a live band and actually performing her songs.

[beautifullybroken077]

most artist do have their voices fix up on their records. sarah mclachlan (i think i got that spelling wrong) had admitted to fixing some stuff on on a LIVE cd (i believe it was on Rosie o'donnell. Katy here does sounmd different but i think she still sounds good

[coolinternetname]

IN MY OPINION!!!fuck everyone else who disagrees cause i dont care but i think she sounds fine...

[ryanarrowsmith]

Seen her live and she's great. You have to consider this person is recording this on a crappy digital camera and could be right next to the amps or speakers that are only playing her voice. You have to be *at* the show to really know if someone is good or not. And Katy is fantastic live from personal experience.

[ladiesman1691]

i personally think she is great despite what the rest of you all think! have any of you ever actually been to a concert... no artist or band ever sounds identical to the record.. which is a good thing because that is part of the magic of a live performance.

[Jimmydean1324]

i agree, but Flipsyde sounds BETTER live ;)

[ImaMisfitsMonster]

wow someone sucks live. Obviously here 'voice' is just sound editing

[fleecesheep17]

umm cause you';re are actually suppose to be talented to be paid to sing, if you're only good in the studio you're not really a singer

[NessaV77]

she sucks live .. no denieing that .. she should stick to the studio that lil scream thing .. pathetic ..

[jhass16]

Who cares how far or how close it sounds to the recording, if you're at the concert and it's full of energy, who gives a crap?

[caseywrestlingfan]

it seems to be "bad" (i dont think so)because its recorded. recorded live performances seem to seem worse then being there yourself for some reason.

[111urmom111]

wow she sucks

[redshoe17]

uhm fuck youu?

[masterof010]

she is actually really good and it sounds pretty close to the recording. anyone who says otherwise should go listen to every other singer's live performance, the majority sound almost nothing like the recording.

[ishouldlikeyou]

cool.

[pLnpRk422]

katy perry's amazing.

she seems so real.

[srgntpuff]

Anyone who whines about how a live band doesn't sound exactly like the recording obviously hasn't had enough drinks and isn't rocking out nearly hard enough. If I were at this show, I would be losing my mind.

[miky368]

beautiful voice

[EgoTrippin311]

sometimes the monitors and shit at those clubs suck...i dont think shes that bad at all, she also is putting energy into it, trying to make it unique

[JorJor404]

I absolutely love Katy Perry's music, and I love the whole sound of it, but she can't perform live. She isn't singing in her good high pitch, and is just screaming. It's a great song but not live. This disappointed me.... :(

[BabyangelCassie]

YOU SUCK!

[xxlilplayajnrxx]

your a fucking idiot, i want see you do better!

Shes awesome!

[shanner23]

Total rip-off of Karen Kamon's "Manhunt" from the Flashdance soundtrack; be original please! You look like Zooey Dechanl, and sound like Karen kamon..

[fxcklabels]

she sounds good, wtf are you guys talking about?!

[corye181]

Bleh, whoever recorded this, needs a better microphone on their camera.

[Niluial]

I love this song, but Katy is terrible live... she sounds nothing like she does in the recording. And she talks instead of singing. Must be really touched up and worked on.

[BabyangelCassie]

Dude no she's not i know her in real life so shut up shes just really tired gosh!

[hpdude104]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiight.

[angel109579]

she sounds fine here...Shes not that bad guys lol

[prettyRAVEgirl11]

yes it does you bitch! shes amazing!

[101zoeygirl]

omg what is that dont sound like her

[aero87xo]

what happend to her voice?

[flyleaf1paramore]

she wayy better than she'll everr be .

[missrockinout]

her voiced is fucked up

[kellyandamanda123]

kissin girls is gross if your a girl but i still like this song and i like kissing boys lol
