I Kissed a Girl (Katy Perry)

[Eatli93]

I liiiike your music! =D

and your bracelet, too! :b

[PetratheSinginglady]

Good song......but what I don't get is why it is so offensive to bisexuals?!?!?!?!?!

Yes I understand what the song is all about and that, but she did say she liked it....not that she hated it. Please do explain. It's late and my brain is just not grasping atm.

[kaile]

@PetratheSinginglady I'm copy&pasting a comment I wrote further down here:

There is a strong preexisting stereotype that anyone claiming to be bisexual is "just going through a phase." We are finally getting to a point where bisexuals are truly acknowledged as being authentic. However, by writing a hit song about a drunk sapphic makeout session, Katy Perry has drawn this issue to the forefront again, making the public further question the authenticity of bisexuality.

[PetratheSinginglady]

@kaile

Alright, that works for me.

I was just curious.

Thank you for the answer even tho it was a recycled one lol.

:D

[PetratheSinginglady]

Good song......

[Michael5678]

Nice cover. But you don't speak for all bisexuals, only yourself. I'm bi and the song doesn't offend me.

[kaile]

I'm well aware that I don't speak for all bisexuals.. but since the vast majority of the bisexuals I know in real life find this song hugely offensive, I thought it was worth mentioning.

[Michael5678]

Sorry, I was in a bit of a crappy mood when I wrote that.

[xnerdygirlluvrx]

this is a beautiful cover.

[Martriosa]

Great voice. Bad song. Frankly.

'It's not the way good girls should behave'?! Seriously? Remind me never to listen to her again.

[mmadk5]

dont listen to her agian =] i reminded you hehe

[Martriosa]

I really should've seen that coming. And that was quite possibly the highlight of this page (apart from Kaile's voice).

[mmadk5]

lololol.

[leherweb2008]

Congratulations! well done!

[TixaMiley]

your voice is amazing

[ShawnWernette]

and you are not signed to a label???

[albinoamish]

you're amazing.

[kaile]

That's the very reason why it's offensive - it is about experimenting, in a way that is the bisexual stereotype, & as a bisexual, that offends me.

[wgoabh]

this is good

[tsepe2]

Really good....i gust found your account....Your really good

Great voice!!!

[zimekq51]

Nice x]

[Arkarian01]

just wanted to let you know that i like your version better than the original.

[viianalu]

i love how your play and how you sing.Not one of my favourite songs but i just love how you sing it (: .. and I agree, it is ofenssive to bisexuals.

[kelliletner]

I so agree on the description.

Cover the Jill Sobule one. It's nice.

[wahkimoocow]

how old are you?

i really love your voice

[kaile]

I'll be 17 in a month & a half. Thanks :)

[flippinsweet75]

Guess what Kaile? Your version is better and nicer then the real one.I love your hand movements when playing the piano!Great voice!

[pieterotte]

Whauw omg-sh your rlly good !

And I like Back in your head 2, with your brother:P

Anyway I was reading the info, I'm gay so good of you to say it on youtube o.O

Respect!

Xx

[Thr33Rd]

amazing, keep going on.

[sweetypepe22]

i like the way you sing it better than her-the melody is better with the piano

[rob3rtosky]

oh my god...good job! very nice!!!!

[kterberg]

I'd much rather listen to you than Katy Perry any day. I almost feel annoyed that she and I share the same first name.

[flamingnosebleed]

omg did you write this song!!! <3 the lyrics are sooooo good

[kaile]

haha. I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, no, I didn't write this, it's by Katy Perry (though I severely doubt if she wrote it herself).

[JeffyJeffjeffm31191]

and apparently you've been living under a rock for the pst sixth months

[jonasaddicted344]

noo she did not write the song..katy perry did

[kayandkaycorp13]

This has probably been said a million times, but your voice is absolutely amazing!

[onelastruelove]

perfecto

[Makimyu]

COOL... i want to do that :'(

[ladygreyt34]

please. marry me.

no lie.

you have the most beautiful voice ever.

i would just love to sit down and talk to you about how awesome you are.

[JabbaWokina]

could you please explain to me hows it is offensive...

its sexual experimentation in a song...

not a very good song admittedly...

but its just a bit of fun...

if you take it to heart so much, your making something of nothing...in my opinion.

i highly doubt the intnetion of the song was to offend or to force bi'gay community to take a step back...

[kaile]

I've explained this a bunch of times already in the comments here, but here goes again..

As a bisexual person, I am annoyed that Katy Perry has once again renewed the stereotype that bisexuals are either promiscuous, invalid/false, confused, or all of the above.

I realize it was meant as "just a bit of fun," of course, but it annoys me that no thought was given to the potential reactions of genuine bisexual people to Perry's contrived-for-attention portrayal of bicuriosity in the mass media.

[RosePearl5558]

dude it's just... just back off

[kittenmildew]

Nice bracelet :D

[kaile]

Thanks, I thought it would be appropriate.

[ChannelCassie]

Lol, this song is definitely offensive to bisexuals, but I absolutely love this cover. :]

[Jukabee7]

....unsuscribed.

[beingpetty]

not my biz, but why?

[hermionebubble]

I agree, this song really is offensive to bisexuals... but at the same time it's kind of catchy and it's everywhere and I can't stop listening to it...

And I also sort of want the chords. D:

[xoxabc]

i really like what you did with the bridge

[thiskidsfriend]

Damn you're talented. =].

[ZeroDX]

Well, that's the first time I managed to listen to the whole song because I think the original is so awfully sung................

Like your cover, nice playing and singing.

[SaraTheVlogger]

haha, I know exactly how you feel about this song. It gives the bisexual community a horrible reputation, but it's so damn catchy!

[Elwell2006]

Wow that was great, easly better than the original !

[suprilaapril]

i love it!!!!!!!!you make it your version and it's really good!

[hanna99990]

hahaha i loved the end haha u rock

[djr067]

WOW you are soo gd now il be watching out for your name in the near future! haha the ending made me smile

[deadbumbleblee]

your voice is perfect for this. Shivers up and down my spine (:

[thisnameinlights]

this is great! you are pretty :)

[Rosie5003]

Wow, you're really good. Wow, it's better then the original : D Wow.

[marauder08901]

What can I say? Your cover is much better than the original. I like the feeling you bring to the vocals here, and your simpler arrangement brings out the beauty of the song that Perry's pounding bass covers up.

Nice work.

[mimisisi1]

u sing sooo good!

[effedupmrhyde]

Your version is a lot more sensual; it has a burlesque quality to it. Very nice.

[kaile]

Haha sweet, thanks! I love burlesque styles but I didn't realize it was influencing my singing.

[jastully]

thats the word i was looking for! burlesque! this sounds great!

[egzit]

By the way, in one of your videos you were trying to notice some improvement in your voice derived from taking lessons? I don't know if you still take them, but you sound good and in control.

[kaile]

Thanks! Yeah, I do still take them. I did a 5-day intensive vocal program this summer too.

[egzit]

As a heterosexual male, I have no way to relate to this song. No identification possible, except the fact that most times I kissed a girl, I liked it. So, your covering it allowed me to musically appreciate it. Songs are songs before they are statements. Obviously, it's sometimes hard to dissociate and ignore statement (and sometimes statements are so present you can't appreciate the song), and I think it's good you have the stance you have on this.Ok I'm drifting - I like your version better.

[egzit]

I hadn't heard this song whole yet. Just the chorus on the radio, so I hadn't thought about it being good or bad when it comes to the bisexuality topic. Through your voice I had the patience to hear it from beginning to end, and that was the core of my experience here.

Whatever message it conveys, I could find it musically interesting here, while in the radio it seemed as annoying as the next radio hit.

[sunnyangel24]

your version is even better than hers, i like how you made up your own melody. great job.

[doorgone]

Dang it, you've opted to become cosmic rubbish like the rest of those without souls.

[kaile]

...No I have not.

Read my video description & earlier comments to find out about my stance on this song & why I decided to cover it.

[Wildchickety]

Wow i think this is the first time i've commented one of your videos XD but i've watched tons of them and you are amazing, i love how you make every song your own, i usually like them more! Totally agree with you on the song, all the girls on my basketball team sang it all the time which was very annoying but it fit all of them perfectly haha thats bad... The first time i heard this song though i almost threw my speaker across the room because it really is a huge step back for bisexuals.

[Careeli]

When I see you I think in Amy Lee. You're so good!

[Almiester18]

my thoughts exactly! amy lee!

[sauly6]

haha i love ur description

and i admire you so much for doing this

[Lk629]

of course they came out with this song because apparently its like "the cool thing" nowadays to be bisexual (for a minute at least). as a bisexual i find it annoying as hell! its a catchy tune, but im sick of these "bisexuals" who only do it for the attention of guys.. last time i checked that didnt make you bisexual, but it does make you a moronic, insecure slut. (i have some personal bitterness on the matter with a past love interest.. so yes i am bitter)

[annafookface]

i'm not bisexual however somewhat bicurious and i always found it funny when girls actually proclaimed to be bi and then a year later changed their minds.

this song is terribly addicting, but i think it's only going to bring back another HUGE wave of that whole "AM I A LESBIAN?!?" thing for girls in middle school. hahah :)

regardless of all that, very nice cover!

[LuluKatt]

Kate dear. You're amazing, not gonna lie. i love your voice and everything.

But i'm kind of let down that you would cover this particular song...really...

i just...dunno, nevermind.

[kaile]

Lulu, read my description or the other comments, I covered this song as a kind of ironic protest because I find it really offensive to me as a bisexual :) I assume you feel similarly.

[LuluKatt]

ah, yeah i read all that, but still...it's kind of chilling, that's all.

♥ ♫

[louf66]

I think your voice is perfect for this song, I really loved it :)

[dwalechuk]

You don't need to be bisexual to be offended by this song.

[kaile]

I'm glad to hear that.

[kandibearx3]

better than the original, that's for damn sure.

[hellokitty1982]

sorry, i don't quite understand why it's offensive. maybe i should be feeling different about it!:|

[madisonkuntz]

thank you.

just, thank you. for making this song what it should be.

[DammitSteve]

I liked the "offensive" tag.

[tonyynot92]

not bad.

but i think you would do better with a different song.

[porridgewader]

Seriously?

[kaile]

1. I'm not rich

2. I AM bisexual

3. Straight does not equal normal

4. I am not bored with my life, in fact it is probably a fair bit more fulfilling than the average, because of the quantity of love & acceptance

5. I don't need to prove myself to you, because the simple fact is, I know who I am, & you have no idea

[dbird666]

Okay, I know Kate personally, and lemme tell you, she is NOT rich. She also didnt just "turn" bisexual. Get your facts straight before you talk shit, cause its people like you that need a life, majorly dear.

-D!LL@N

[KleeneLilly]

Really good

I liked it!

It's not easy to sing and play piano at the same time and do it well, like you :-)

[hrawet]

Sounds good! :D

[MagiMysteryTour]

When did this song "come out"? I think you beat her to it with your Something Different song.

[kaile]

Except for the fact that my song is about ACTUALLY being bi & hers is about trying it on like a piece of clothing.. :)

[JohanCLont]

I think the hardest thing is probably to accept yourself, unconditionally, and then the rest will be okay, somehow.

[JohanCLont]

I'm talking here about stuff that I don't know much about, and my apologies for that, but can you really blame this song if bisexuals are not yet viewed as complete equals in the queer community? Like how? The queer community heard Katy Perry on the radio, and said "Hey, bisexuals are only playing games"? Come on! There are all kinds of people, some of them are players who play games with friendship and love. Some experiment. Some are simply swept off their feet by love.

[kaile]

There is a strong preexisting stereotype that bisexuality "doesn't actually exist" & that anyone claiming to be bisexual is "just going through a phase." We are finally getting to a point where bisexuals are truly acknowledged as being authentic & having their own place in the queer community. However, by writing a hit song about a drunk sapphic makeout session, Katy Perry has drawn this issue to the forefront again, making the public further question the authenticity of bisexuality.

[JohanCLont]

Thank you for your clear replies to my comments. You clarified it completely.

[purpleangus]

the problem is that the lyrics say that being gay is "not how good girls behave" and blame the incident on being drunk and confused. instead of opening REAL discussion on freedom of sexuality, it uses being queer as a trend and a gimmick to sell her fucking album.

[JohanCLont]

You sort of made the song your own and I liked the way you did it. But to me, your description doesn't make sense. You said the song was a "slap in the face" and you didn't really want to listen to it anymore... and so you recorded it yourself?? That doesn't rime.

Music feeds your soul, and when your soul is fully fed, the music has to come out. Maybe that compelled you to do the song.

[kaile]

I think I decided to cover it because it seemed ironic. Kind of like how, when I'm with my queer friends, we'll sometimes jokingly use the phrase "That's so gay" to describe homophobics or whatever.

Also, this is a really really annoyingly catchy song so I thought playing it would help get it out of my system.

[Grobaholic]

really good cover.

[floamfloam]

Your voice is hot tbqh

Great cover :)

[kaile]

haha thank you!

[Path2fame]

Excellent!!

[KleptHoeManiac]

You sound soo good on this song!

<3 i like your description too ;)

[purpleangus]

most of my dyke friends love this song... and i'm like "did you even listen to it?" it basically makes being queer into something trivial that you can try on and take off just as easily. DUMB.

that being said, you sounded good as always. ; )

[kaile]

Thanks. Yeah, I found it incredibly annoying because, throughout my coming-out-as-bi process, I got a lot of "It's just a phase, you'll grow out of it," which drove me crazy. And here Katy Perry is, seemingly proving that stereotype. Arrrrgghh.

[EatYourPeas18]

hahaha. this so much better than the actual song.

[bloomingauthor7]

What can I say? Awesome. It's so angry/sexual...
