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.

Holy crap, I agree with you on something.

Nah Mr bad guy has ALOT of amazing talented stuff on it, Mr badguy are basically Queen songs too.
Mr. Bad guy is weak, it does have a few good songs. Barcelona is brilliant.

I dont think its weak at all, it has some very very good songs in there, its basically a queen album since to me everything freddie sings on is Queen and the music is awesome
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.
At first I thought this was about Steve Perry ;)
