When Benjamin Glaze, at the time a 19-year-old cashier from Enid, Okla., auditioned for “American Idol,” he had hoped his big moment would come as he belted out “Stadium,” a song he wrote himself. That or Nick Jonas’s 2015 single “Levels.”
Instead, it came when the popstar Katy Perry, a judge on the show, surprised him by kissing him smack on the lips, moments before his audition. He had never been kissed before.
“I was a tad bit uncomfortable,” Mr. Glaze said by phone this week, after the incident aired on the season premiere. His first kiss was a rite of passage he had been putting off with consideration. “I wanted to save it for my first relationship,” he said. “I wanted it to be special.”
“Would I have done it if she said, ‘Would you kiss me?’ No, I would have said no,” he said. “I know a lot of guys would be like, ‘Heck yeah!’ But for me, I was raised in a conservative family and I was uncomfortable immediately. I wanted my first kiss to be special.”

When I first saw the headline, I assumed it was just that the kiss came out of the blue and that he was taken aback by the shock, and thrown off his game in the competition. Now he just sounds overly dramatic about it.
I do think Katy should really rethink kissing a young guy like that on TV during a competition. She could cause one of the them to have an "accident", or at the very least make him wish he had some school books to carry in front of him to hide his arousal (if getting kissed by a curvaceous pop star arouses him).
[Quote-But the kid is clearly a pussy.]
Or he is beginning to understand that his body and all its. parts prophecy as a temple, even a place of covenant. That takes deep study of his Word and His Creation and this young man may have stumbled into truth that the world of cursed Eve’s and the Adam’s that listen to them can’t seem to get things straight.
You referring to him as a pussy is almost prophetic. A place on a woman where she also has two lips. But those lips are meant for a covenant too.
Maybe some men like to kiss women in all three parts of their lips, even their backside.
Maybe they could be called ‘pussies’ and ass kissers.

Boob straightener for photo sessions...
How did she kiss a guy on the lips when I heard on the radio she is a germaphobe and only allowed another contestant to kiss her hand after putting socks on her hand first so there wasn’t skin contact.
Katy Perry? Get antibiotics, boy!

Oh, puleeze! As if that kiss on the mouth couldn’t have been seen a thousand miles down the road. Reality tv is anything but.
And you are clearly an asshole.
Yep.
Only problem is "Where do I go from here?". So, you started out by getting smooched by a pretty good looking multi-millionaire Rock Star. What's the next step up from there?
Looks like someone is looking to jump on the "MeToo" bandwagon.
Yeah! He’s gay. Notice he said relationship and not girl. He’s an embarrassment to the conservative cause.
If he was ~ 14 I might have some sympathy but at 19??
I had to check the age.
Move on Snowflake
YES!!!!! Lying big time.
Katy Perry would have humped him on stage if it would have pushed the ratings up.
It's a tough job but someone needs to do it.
Wonder how I could slide that one past Mrs Wbill.... "It's WORK, honey. I don't WANT to do this, it's required by my job description....." ...nah never mind. She wouldn't buy it.
Pure is not a closed mouth kiss? Good grief. No wonder liberals think conservatives are freaks.
Good God, we are raising a nation of absolute sniveling pussies. Afraid of girls, afraid of guns, afraid to be outside their safe spaces.
The Muslims are going to run us through.
Speaking of “reality” tv, there’s a reason for the first time ever Master Chef Junior separated the “girls” from the “boys” in this season opener.
“And you are clearly an asshole. “
Yes, and it appears a clear majority of Freepers are too.
