Cool Video: Katy Perry performs at her old high school where she graduated from…

Katy Perry put on a free concert at her old high school where she graduated from. She performed a small set with her band at, Dos Pueblos High. Listening to her singing, this is pretty much proof that she doesn’t lip synch. It sure sounds live to me. She looks like an entertaining performer. If she does a US tour and comes around Albany, I’d certainly be there to see her in concert!

Report: Beach Boys vs. Katy Perry over “California Gurls” song???

Rumors have hit the internets that the Beach Boys could be suing Katy Perry over the “California Gurls” song. She’s not being accused of stealing the song from the Beach Boys, she’s being accused of what Snoop Dogg said in the song. Snoop Dogg said, “I really wish you all could be California Girls” which I believe is a lyric taken from the Beach Boys hit.

The Beach Boys camp replied back, saying they are not suing Katy Perry, the band says they love Katy’s song and they are flattered that she used the Beach Boys as an inspiration. Katy also claims no one is suing anyone.

More on it here:

Listen to both songs and hear what the Beach Boys and Snoop Dogg says.

Snoop says, “I really wish you all could be California Girls”, but the Beach Boys version says, “I wish they all could be California Girls”. In order for something to be considered copyright infrigement, both needs to be exactly the same. Katy is innocent.

And by the way, Katy’s “California Gurls” is actually not a bad song, I actually kind of dig it myself.
