Katy Perry mocks internet sensation Rebecca Black

Mocking: Katy Perry sang an acoustic and tuneless version of Rebecca Black's Friday on stage in Melbourne last night


There are probably a lot of teenage girls who would be thrilled to bits if Katy Perry decided to sing one of their songs during her concert.

But not Rebecca Black, who will no doubt be feeling a little disappointed with the Firework star's 'tribute' to her.

Perry poked fun at the teenager when she performed her song 'Friday' at her gig in Melbourne yesterday.


You know the words: With a sarcastic look on her face, Katy led the audience into a rendition of the chorus


And Katy decided the only way to sing it was out of tune, mocking the fact that the 13-year-old used auto-tuning on her vocals.

As she started an acoustic set during the gig, Katy, 25, with a mocking wide-eyed look on her face, declared to the crowd: 'So I can't play the flute. But that's ok. Because everything magical happens on a Friday.'

She received loud cheers from the audience inside the Rod Laver Arena, with one, who was recording the performance, declaring: 'No way'.


Big Down Under: Rebecca Black, seen here arriving at LAX airport yesterday, had 15,000 Melbourne fans singing her song


Rebecca Black, who comes from California, shot to fame earlier this year after heavily auto-tuned video of Friday went viral.

But unfortunately for the teen, it attracted a barrage of criticism and even death threats after her video was viewed by more than 110 million times on YouTube.

And Black admitted she was shaken by the vicious comments she received online.

Speaking on Good Morning America last month, she said: 'When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry. I felt like this was my fault and I shouldn't have done this and this is all because of me. Now I don't feel that way.'

Troupe: The singer warbled her way through the pop song as she was surrounded by dancers dressed in alien bodysuits


Katy Perry chose a very imaginative way to highlight her dangerous curves last night.

The 26-year-old lit up the stage of American Idol in a figure hugging LED space-age bodysuit for the reality show's results night.

Performing her hit song E.T., the singer warbled her way through the pop song as she was surrounded by dancers dressed in alien-inspired body suits.


Intergalactic: The 26-year-old emerged from a futuristic pod


Katy's complexion was heavily caked with futuristic make-up to complement the theme.

Emerging from a futuristic pod, the pop star was carried onto the stage by her alien dance troupe at the start of her performance.

She was later accompanied by rapper Kanye West who surprised the studio audience by joining the singer on stage for a duet.

The single version of the song features vocals by Kanye, who also appears in it's Floria Sigismondi-directed music video.

The rapper took to the stage in a white t-shirt, black jeans and a fur vest.

After the song concluded, Katy gave the 33-year-old a light stroke on the face before returning back to her pod.

Her performance in Los Angeles last night comes just days after Katy was catching up on lost time with husband Russell Brand as they put on a passionate show for photographers at the London premiere of his film Arthur.

Katy has made a huge effort to take time out to her see her husband while she continues her tour.

She made it clear before she left for her world travels that she would be making plenty of visits home to see the British funnyman.

The pop star says that her husband is the top of her priority list and she has even begun to feel a connection with British fans because of him.


Affectionate: Katy appeared with husband Russell Brand earlier in the week at the London premiere of his film Arthur where Russell got playful and firmly grabbed his wife's behind


'My husband is my number one priority. We have an amazing relationship', she told contactmusic.

She says Brand, who she married in India last October, is also teaching her some of the popular phrases and slang used in the UK.

'Russell's teaching me British slang and phrases now. I say, "I'm dining out on that one mate" and say "bin" instead of trash and "holiday" instead of "vacation".

Katy Perry and Calvin Harris' Twitter Feud

Talk about a public bust-up! Katy Perry and Calvin Anderson are embroiled in a seriously overt Twitter feud after Harris pulled out of her UK shows.

The "Flashback" star was scheduled to open for Katy’s gigs but canceled at the last minute after being angered over set arrangements, causing the "I Kissed a Girl" singer to tweet this: "Calvin Harris will NOT be joining in on the fun and has CANCELED last minute."

To this, Calvin fired back by posting, "Sorry to all who wanted to see me with Katy – her team suddenly moved the goalposts and I was to appear on stage with no production. It would have looked s***, sounded s*** - trust me you would have been more disappointed SEEING the show than u are with me cancelling."

The music producer finally tried to tame the attacks, tweeting:"I’m really sorry @katyperry I’m just upset because I really wanted to play but ur team made it impossible. We tried really hard to sort it out, but playing side of stage for 30 mins, it seemed pointless me even being there. Didn’t intend to cause offence or upset anybody."

And then apologised, posting: ‘I’m really sorry @katyperry I’m just upset because I really wanted to play but ur team made it impossible.

‘We tried really hard to sort it out, but playing side of stage for 30 mins, it seemed pointless me even being there. Didn’t intend to cause offence or upset anybody.’

But Calvin’s cancellation seemed to spark fury with Katy Perry fans also, who started sending abuse to the DJ.

Calvin retaliated by tweeting: ‘WTF are Katy Perry fans telling me to KILL MYSELF on twitter for? Seriously. I’m a producer making music. Leave me alone please thanks x’

Mystery Deepens Around Katy Perry Tell-All Book

It has been reported that Katy Perry’s mother, Mary has penned a ‘tell-all’ book about her famous daughter – but if she has, Perry’s parents are not spilling a word about it – for the moment.

In fact, Katy’s ultra-religious father, Keith Hudson is staying totally mum on the subject, Radar Online has learned.

The couple, who run Keith Hudson Ministries in California, are reportedly ready to shed new light on Katy’s rise to stardom and the effect it had on them personally and their Christian beliefs.

It’s understood that the pair has questioned some of her career choices that they believe have had both negative and positive impacts on their ministry.

Keith Hudson told Radar Online: “We have been inundated with calls on this subject and we are not going to comment on any book release.

“That’s all we have to say on this topic at the moment.”

The 26-year-old singer is married to reformed drug addict Russell Brand.

Before finding fame and fortune, Perry, who has a Jesus tattoo on her wrist, released a self-titled gospel album in 2001, as Katy Hudson, which failed to take off.

But the perky performer went on to find international fame through the single I Kissed A Girl and is known for her cleavage baring and sexy outfits which are in direct opposition to her parents’ strict religious beliefs.

The New York Post reported that her parents had been touting a memoir to publishers that would be written by Mary Hudson which would be “a hell of a story” dispelling a lot of the rumors surrounding their daughter.
