I was honored to have tickets to the final show of Katy Perry's sold-out three night set at The Fillmore at Irving Plaza in New York City. I had bought her CD, watched her performances and sung "I Kissed A Girl" all last summer just like the rest of you. I heard from people she wasn't good live or she was overrated but I never like to make a decision until I see them in person.
Katy came out with bounds of energy bouncing off wall-to-wall. She was spitting water, talking to the crowd, and telling us what each song meant to her when she wrote it. This is a huge difference from other concerts I go to where the artist hardly has any participation. Katy even make a few crude jokes which everybody thought were hysterical. She basically was goofing off and singing her heart out to us. The concert itself was all of her best songs plus 2 covers leaving "I Kissed A Girl" for the encore. Before the final song she came out and asked an audience member if she brought her "cherry chapstick" because she would kiss her then. Unfortunately the girl didn't bring hers but Katy had an over sized one in place of the girls. The whole stage was over sized fruits and a very large "pussy" named Kitty Purry.
After the show let out we waited by the exit to see if she would sign for everybody. She came out about an hour later after her meet and greet was done and stopped for a few of us. I got my shirt signed and a photo with her. She was talking to people and joking around with them Very, very down to earth and beautiful up close. She tried to sign for everybody but only about 3-4 people got photos out of the 25+ people there. She said we were a great crowd and got in her car. About 1500 feet down the road there was a red light and those who didn't get a photo ran up to her car. She was so nice that she hopped over her assistant and sat out of the passenger side window posing with girls. The girls were so happy and I realized that even though she has come along way from her Christian Bible songs, she is still God's child at heart and honestly loves her fans.
