Baby you are fireworks!  I love Katy Perry - I think she is one of the greatest singers of my generation.
I'm a fan as well.  She sang gospel musicv when she was younger?
No way!  I will need to look up some of her videos.  What else has she done that is not publicly common knowledge?
Her first album which came out in 2001 was released under her real name hwich is Katy Hudson.  It didn't do very well, though.
What was that album called?  When did she change her nickname from Hudson to Perry?
The name of the ALbum was Katy Perry. she changed her name after working with new producers.
I also enjoy her new personality now - the short hair, on American Idol, she is making a name for herself now and successfully re-branded herself.  Do you know what caused this change in personality?
I'm not really sure to be honest.  Her new persona sure is fun, though.
