The delightful Katy Perry is back on Aussie soil for the Hello Katy Tour and will stop by the Rove studios to chat with the man himself and perform her latest hit single Waking Up in Vegas
When Katy Perry was a fourth grader, her teacher asked the class to make a "vision board" - a collage of images cut out from magazines that represents the dreams and aspirations you hope to manifest in life. The year was 1993 and Selena had just won a Grammy Award, so nine-year-old Katy chose a photo of the young Latin pop singer holding her golden statuette. Fifteen years later, Perry has been nominated for her first Grammy Award in the "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" category for her ubiquitous No. 1 single, "I Kissed a Girl," from her platinum Top 10 album One of the Boys, and has been chosen as this year's My GRAMMY® Moment artist.
Current sales check in at over 2 million albums and more than 13 million tracks, singles and mobile product globally. Perry's willful determination, not to mention her songwriting and vocal talent and larger-than-life charisma, have led to an astonishing year for the saucer-eyed, raven-haired pop starlet, who, with her cheeky sense of humor and sexy pin-up girl style, was "the breakthrough star of 2008. On June 17, 2008, EMI Music released 'One of the Boys', a witty romp through Perry's brightly colored world that showcases her sharp, candid lyrics, big voice, and feisty, girl-power swagger, as well as her appealing vulnerability on songs like her latest single, "Thinking Of You." "I think people can appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides," she says. "The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it." Case in point: the album's spunky, high-voltage second single "Hot N Cold," which became Perry's second No. 1 single and international hit, selling nearly three million digital tracks since its release. The eye-popping video, with its hilarious wedding theme, became the No. 2 most-viewed premiere of all time on MySpace, proving to armchair critics and naysayers that the success of this irrepressible young woman in the satin onesie and fishnets was no fluke. When Saturday Night Live spoofed her, it was official: Katy Perry was a bonafide cultural phenomenon. It's a long way from being broke to stealing the show at the MTV Latin America "Los Premios Awards" (where Perry face-planted into a large pink cake) and hosting and performing at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, England, which she did in November 2008, picking up the award for "Best New Act" in the process.
