One of our fave singers, Katy Perry, has a top 5 single on the charts called I Kissed a Girl.
But before Katy, singer-songwriter Jill Sobule had a 1995 hit of the same name.
So, how does Jill feel about Katy’s success?
Well, she’s finally speaking out about it!
Sobule says in a new interview, ├óΓé¼┼ôI don’t feel precious about the title, but I’ve gotten tons of e-mails from annoyed fans. Some think it├óΓé¼Γäós more of a Girls Gone Wild thing than anything shocking or empowering to true gay feelings…Maybe I’ll write a third I Kissed a Girl for fun. It will be about how I kissed her, Ieft the dull boyfriend, got gay-married in California, and really no one gave a s—.├óΓé¼┬¥
Sobule also goes on to say, “Katy Perry’s song is a kind of catchy party song, although I will admit that I do smile when a critique mentions my version in a more favorable light. Is that wrong?├óΓé¼┬¥
We like both!
But we like Katy’s better!
