The singer - who shot to fame with 2008 hit single I Kissed a Girl - credits Hilton with bringing her music into the mainstream. She tells Britain's More! magazine, "He's very nice to me. I think he understands me. You know he's a big fan of Mika's? That's how he discovered me. "He really helped me last year because he went to a Mika show that I opened at this little venue in LA, and he really enjoyed it. "So he introduced me to a lot of internet pop icons and so much has happened since then. "He's like a pop pappa, and he knows I try an keep it about the music and try to give people their money's worth with my tours." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I thought that this was how we discovered Katy,back then. At least this was how I did. Then listened to her stuff,and that was it. This was why I always found it weird how she suddenly seemed to take over popularity wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 .. No real news. We all knew it happened that way, didn't we? It is nice, however, that Katy remembers the ones who help her on the way to stardom. She is a nice girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 That gig was in March 2007. Sara Bareilles opened as well. That was the night Sivan gave him the scrapbook. I remember some talk about Katy saying naughty things about Mika on stage. http://www.troubadour.com/eventdetail.php?id=332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Oh and I just remembered Katy Perry was on an episode of the Young & the Restless in June and one of the characters said "Oh I love her. I saw her open for Mika!" One of the writers must have been to the gig because I can't imagine there are more than 1000 people in the entire United States that would have known that.
