MTV VMA's Katy Perry Performs in Manila On 10/3

Katy Perry, 2009 MTV Music Video Awards’ (VMA) Anita and celebrity endorser, will perform live in Manila on October 3, 2009 at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds.  All Youth Channels, Inc. and MTV Philippines are behind the concert. 

Perry, a very charming and talented young composer, rose to fame in 2007 with her online hit single “Ur So Gay” (a withering kiss-off to a metrosexual ex-boyfriend, a song even Madonna liked a lot). 

She eventually scored a breakthrough single with “I Kissed A Girl” in 2008. 

“I Kissed A Girl” became an all-time hit, shooting to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 where it stayed for seven straight weeks. It was also a big hit all over Asia like here in the Philippines, and even in the remotest Phi Phi Islands in South Thailand. 

“I Kissed A Girl,” the video was nominated for five MTV VMAs, including an award for Perry as Best New Artist.  The video also became No. 1 most-viewed item on MySpace. 

“I Kissed A Girl” sold more than six million tracks worldwide.

Perry released her first album “One of the Boys” soon after.  It includes "Ur So Gay," “I Kissed A Girl” and new hit singles “Hot N Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas.” The album is described as a “witty romp through Perry’s brightly colored world that showcases the singer songwriter's sharp, candid lyrics, big voice, and feisty, girl-power swagger, as well as her appealing vulnerability in her songs.”

Perry’s upcoming concert in Manila will feature a special performance from international recording artist Boys Like Girls.
