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 Jonass 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.

Actually, it was not a casual kiss, that was on the cheek. She twisted her face at the last second to kiss him on the lips.
I have seen that happen to grown men from a young girl who was trying to get a reaction. It sure caused one.
And as for daddy teaching him, my children know that the mark of a real man is one who can control himself, not flip for whatever piece decides to get in front of him.
The guy isn’t making a big deal out of it, the media is.
Having said that, if a man kissed a girl like that, he’d be in a lot of trouble these days.
“And as for daddy teaching him, my children know that the mark of a real man is one who can control himself, not flip for whatever piece decides to get in front of him.”
Good for you and your kids. That’s sage advice.
But the kid in the article complaining to NYT because Katy snuck a closed-mouth, .1 second kiss?
Completely over the top. If he was my son I’d be embarrassed, not because he was working to stay pure for marriage, but because he was whining like an 8yr old.
In the video, notice he went to Katy when she beckoned him, and knew what she was up to.
No kidding
I find Katy Perry daft but shes welcome to kiss me
Probably gay
Lol...hell yeah
You tell em how it is
I swear some posters have no balls
("Not that there's anything wrong with that.")
IMO < this was not meant to insult the kid. She looked killer on the show this week, and I think she meant to do the kid a favor of sorts.
I've never been a fan of hers, but I'd guess most 19 year old guys would have been pretty stoked to have her kiss them, the way she was looking that audition.
Photo of her on the show that night.
That was a public casting couch moment. That slut held this kids career in her hands and called him over to both publicly seduce him and humiliate him. She did both.
Katy Perry was raised to be like this kid turned out. She sold her soul to the devil and shes using her souled out soul to corrupt young men and women.
She is a sexual predator and should be fired.
sue her for sexual assault.
oh, please snowflake
...this young man may have stumbled into truth that the world of cursed Eves and the Adams that listen to them cant seem to get things straight....

Thank you for posting this. I am sure that you will be attacked by small minded (and maybe racist) freepers.
“But I know young men who are trying to stay pure for their future wives...”
That’s all well and good, but let’s be realistic. Katy Perry didn’t exactly pop his cherry.
“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 Eves and the Adams that listen to them cant seem to get things straight.”
“Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.” 1 Peter 5:14
“(and maybe racist)”
Who do you think is (maybe) racist?
I swear I though this might happen. It made me uncomfortable too.
“THIS is the type of childish fantasy weve created in this country......”When a mere kiss is placed on such a pedestal, someone hasnt matured.”
Nonsense. The young man showed more maturity than any teen that thinks it’s no big deal to kiss anyone anytime, which simply makes for a devaluation of that which is much more meaningful when it is with the person you want that first moment with.
Saving something you want to have great personal value is NOT immaturity, it is maturity. Immaturity is throwing anything of value away, just for the momentary pleasure of it with persons you do not really care all that much for. Maturity is not being cheap. Immaturity is being cheap. The young man is not cheap, he’s more mature than most teens.
I don’t want skanks kissing me with filthy mouths.
Plus she thinks she can do this to any guy and just get away with it because vagina.
When you think how many dicks have been in her mouth, you don’t want kisses tovtaste other guys.
Maybe you do, I don’t.
