Katy Perry kissed an American Idol Contestant And He Did NOT Like It

Benjamin Glaze, 20, of Oklahoma, auditioned for American Idol last October when he was 19, he's now 20.

He told the judges he had never been kissed, & then Katy Perry called him over to her, where he, turning red, gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek.

He told the New York Times. In his audition, which aired this week, he broke the ice with the judges by telling them he had never been kissed. Perry immediately called him over to her, where he, turning red, gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek.

Perry complained, so Benjamin agreed to do it again. When he leaned in the second time, Perry surprised him with a kiss on the lips.

The teen fell over in surprise. He said he was "a tad bit uncomfortable" by the kiss, and if Perry had asked to kiss him, he would have said no.

“I know a lot of guys would be like, ‘Heck yeah!’" he said. "But for me, I was raised in a conservative family and I was uncomfortable immediately. I wanted my first kiss to be special.”

Hi everyone, I would like to clear a few things up for anyone who is confused, concerned, or angry. I am not complaining about the kiss from Katy Perry at all, doing a few news reports and being interviewed by many different reporters has caused some major questions. The way certain articles are worded is not done by me, and my true intentions are not accurately represented in every article you read about the situation. I am not complaining about the kiss, I am very honored and thankful to have been apart of American Idol. The main purpose for the show is to find stars and new music artist. I do wish I would have performed better in the moment. I should have picked another song to sing and calmed myself down regardless of the kiss. I should have been able to perform under pressure. I do not think I was sexually harassed by Katy Perry and I am thankful for the judges comments and critiques. I was uncomfortable in a sense of how I have never been kissed before and was not expecting it. My main goal is to reach people through the universal love of music and not cause strife or anger against anyone or about any situation! Please take into consideration that I don’t believe my views have been appropriately communicated through the media! Thank you to everyone who has followed me in this journey and I hope I answered a few questions. . . . . . #americanidol #katyperry #music
