Could Becky G be another contributor to Katy's/Bonnie's album?
Dr. Luke, Katy, Bonnie, and Becky have been randomly tweeting each other lately.
Becky also got signed to Kemosabe.

I became a KatyCat, when I saw her live in 2009. I didn't expect much at first, since alot of people said she couldn't sing live, but boy where they wrong... At the middle of the show Katy started playing her guitar and singing Thinking Of You and yeah I still remember the chills I got...  It was amazing and she was so down to earth and sweet!

I love reading all the stories
here's mine
A Hungarian media outlet picked up a story about Madonna listening to UR So Gay
I was like, WTF, what kind of a song title is that?
Then I downloaded it and listened to it non stop because it was so hilarious and melancholic.
Then IKAG happened, and I was like: who is this *****? but it was too catchy to ignore.
Then I got to listen to her whole album, and I was hooked.
To this day I'm still breathing, Lost, Fingerprints and If you can afford me are some of my fave album tracks from any artist ever. I've been a full on stan probably starting from her European T-Mobile Firework Music Video campaign cause she shot it in Budapest and I got to see her in all her glory

It was Saturday 19th July 2008. I always listened to music chart on my favorite radio station on Saturdays, but at the time I wasn't at home. In the evening I was looking for new songs on the chart and there was "Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl". I played a 30 sec. sample of this song and I was like OMG this is so amazing. It became my favorite song. I listened to it all day, all night. Few days later I went to her official website and there was music player with Use Your Love, Lost and Ur So Gay. I totally fell in love with her image, music .... She was so different but so amazing. I downloaded One Of The Boys in August and firstly I didn't like it except few songs like Hot N Cold, Waking Up In Vegas, Lost, Ur So Gay ... but now it's my favorite album and I love it from the beginning to the end

I was on vacation with my dad and we had a TV in our hotel room. I turned it on and watched MTV for a while. IKAG came up and I stared at the screen for the whole time, when it was over I ran into my room and wrote down her name. When we came home I googled her. I collected magazine articles for the next year or so, then I stopped. I bought OOTB really fast and I personally think it's one of the best albums in pop music.
She was the first artist after Britney that made a "real" fan.

Here's my story 
Katy got my attention back in 2004 when I read an article about her and saw the picture below in Blender magazine, they called her "The Next Big Thing"
I fell in love with her image, and I was actually anticipating the album she was recording with The Matrix, but of course, it was never released, so the following years I would occasionally Google her name but nothing would come up  so I kind of forgot about her until one day Perez Hilton posted Ur So Gay on his site in 2007, I thought the song was okay but didn’t think she was going to make it big with it  however, my excitement for Katy came back 
Months later her songs started leaking and the moment I heard IKAG and HNC I immediately became a stan, and knew she was going to be big

I originally got into her early on because I thought she was really attractive and magnetic (still is) and the lyrics of UR So Gay kinda applied to how I was at the beginning of high school, lulz. Plus this video was, like, the hottest thing ever to my 15 year old self.

I first "met" her back in August, 2008, when certain-girl-who-kissed-another-girl-and-liked-it' music vid was presented. Something got my attention, but it wasnt until october 17th, 2008 when... that night. That night was THE night.
I started downloading a song called "Hot N Cold", that I had never heard before. I remember listening to a little part that was already downloaded, and that was it. Love at first sight. And that "love" never stopped.
 So PROUD OF MY QUEEN!!!

Alright, my story.
I was in the car driving from my grandma's house when I Kissed A Girl came on. I thought it was kind of weird since you never heard a song like that on the radio. Later on I bought Hot N Cold and payed dust to the rest of the OOTB era. I mean, I heard WUIV on the radio but never bought it. At this point I didn't know those songs were by Katy, I was too into the others into the top 40 to care. I remember a year after, me and my sister were driving in her car and she laughed when CG came on and cranked it up. Later that night, I bought CG. I continued to buy TD. And FW happened to come at a dark time in my life, helped me feel better (representing those plastic bags  ). So I decided to look into her a little more, bought TD (album) and then learned about stanning during ET sometime. And well she's, the 1st I've stanned for, and clearly, it's still going.

Well I might as well share my Katy story 
I was in 7th grade when IKAG came out. I remember hearing it on the radio once and instantly thinking "ew, that's disgusting." The song gradually grew on me, but my mom refused to let me listen to it. Soooo, I would go into my basement and while I was playing Sims I would play IKAG on repeat. Then I discovered Gaga. Gaga quickly overshadowed any interest in Katy that I had, even though IKAG would still get plays from me on occasion. I used Hot N Cold as well, especially when they played it at middle school dances, Ahhhh the nostalgia. Then at the end of that summer my sister's friend put WUIV on a mix that she made her, and I semi-used. Then Katy completely disappeared from my radar as TFM came out, and it was ALL about Gaga. Then on the last day of 8th grade one of my friends had a pool party and CG came on. Everyone at the party already knew the words, and I instantly was in love with the song. I semi-followed Katy during that summer, but my obsession was still aimed at Gaga. I was cruising the iTunes store one day and saw that Katy released a new single, " Teenage Dream". I took a listen, and didn't really like what I heard, but I took my ass over to mediafire and downloaded it. I checked out the rest of the promo singles, NLTM, E.T., and Circle the Drain. and only really liked E.T. Once TD came out I illegally downloaded it, just to bop to from time to time. Firework was my favorite song  Katy became my "back-up, appropriate" girl for car rides with my mom, since she didn't like Gaga and thought she was "disgusting" (Truth). I patiently waited for Gaga's new single to come out, but once it did, I didn't like it at all. Something about Gaga had changed. She wasn't the fun, creative girl that I fell in love with. So Katy slowly started to take Gaga's place. Then BTW the album came out and Katy was forgotten for about a month. I truly believed that was like the best album ever released. Then fast-foward to June of 2011 and I saw a contest on Facebook to win tickets to Katy's concert in my city. I didn't win, but the second place winner never claimed their prize, so the day before the concert I got an email saying that I won! The tickets came at 5pm the day of the concert, (I was a nervous wreck the entire day waiting for them) and my and my sister went. We were in the center of the 11th row on the floor When she floated on the cotton candy cloud she stopped right on top of us. So that's when my standom began. That summer I could not get enough of Katy, so that's when I discovered Part of Me and Dressin' Up, and ATRL. I lurked for most of that summer, only to join in September 2011, and the rest is history.

It was the summer i was going into 7th grade, and I remember randomly seeing a song called 'I Kissed a Girl' in the iTunes Top 100 and I previewed it - needless to say, that night , I friended her on MySpace ( ) and listened to all of the songs she had up. Once I heard Hot N Cold, I immediately made her my fave artist, and its been history since. I remember making my parents take me to Target to get OOTB and forcing them to listen to it.
I can't believe it's almost been 6 years.

It seems like a lot of us were 13-16 when OOTB came out.
