Katy Perry American Music Awards Performance: Awesome or Offensive? Nov 25th 2013, 14:13, by Free Britney Katy Perry's performance of "Unconditionally" at the American Music Awards had some people scratching their heads and others labeling it offensive. The star opened the show dressed as a geisha, complete with an elaborate Japanese-style set, which not every viewer loved "Unconditionally." Katy Perry American Music Awards Performance 2013 She said beforehand that she wanted to up her game, with the chance to open, and did she ever. Some felt it racist, though, Tweeting remarks like: I guess Katy Perry really didn't want to be left out of the mind-numbingly ignorant and racist pop-star hall of shame. @katyperry returns to her roots as trite and ignorant in her performance as a "geisha." Brings me back to the days of 'Ur So Gay.' #AMAs Other fans defended Katy Perry, however, with reactions such as: These claims of Katy Perry's AMA performance being racist are absolutely ridiculous. Appreciation and appropriation of other cultures is ok. It honestly bothers me that people believe @katyperry performance was a racist act. She loves the Japanese culture and japan loves her. VOTE: Was Katy Perry's AMA performance offensive?   Yes. There's no need for that!No, but it was terrible.No, she rules! Chill out! View Poll »
