Perry: 'Mercury is my musical idol'


By David Balls, Entertainment Reporter


Katy Perry has revealed that she was inspired to make music by Freddie Mercury.

The singer admitted that she had admired the former Queen singer's carefree attitude and even considered getting a tattoo of the star.

"Freddie Mercury was - and remains - my biggest influence," she confessed in a MySpace interview.

"The combination of his sarcastic approach to writing lyrics and his 'I don't give a f**k' attitude really inspired my music."

"I nearly got a huge tattoo of Freddie Mercury's face on my back a few years ago. It's probably for the best that I didn't get it done, but I still want to do it."

Perry's new single 'Thinking Of You' is out now.

If only idolising someone was the same has having a tenth of their ability.  Katy Perry is a glorified hooker.

Vocally, freddie is very strong on that album,  but the musicians he chose were horrible,  ruined the songs.  I do like man made paradise,  love me like there's no tomorrow, living on my own, made in heaven, though queen's version was better.  I was born to love you was ruined by fred, it was a beautiful piano ballad, but was ruined making into a dance song.  The queen version was good.

you just mentioned almost the entire album as good songs which they are. I see that album as a Queen album with alot of great songs, then again i see some of roger and brians solo songs with freddie on vocals as Queen songs too.
