So, I’ve been a proponent of Flight of the Conchords, and the self-titled HBO show the group stars in alongside Rhys Darby. The first season is currently available on DVD and the second season is about to premiere on HBO in a couple of weeks. Well, now, thanks to FunnyOrDie.com and HBO, you can watch the first episode of the second season online! Right here!

I’ll admit, I gave Katy Perry a chance when she first got my attention last year. Her two novelty songs, “I Kissed A Girl” and “Ur So Gay” caught my attention and won her my favor early on (not that that matters). I was looking forward to her performance of a Madonna classic at the Video Music Awards, but her rendition of “Like A Virgin” was… well… flat.

I figured maybe it was a fluke. After all, it was her first foray to the Video Music Awards, and having eagerly awaited the distribution of the moon men on many a September’s Thursday night during my middle school years, I understood how important that moment could be.. and being nervous is only human. With this in mind, I opened myself to the possibility of her performance on Carson Daly’s New Years’ Show this year. That’s when I learned that her VMA performance, was not, in fact a fluke. Nor was it due to the fact that she wasn’t performing her own material.

She just isn’t good live. Performing HER OWN song. Somehow, she managed to look worse than the Jonas Brothers. Watch her yell (sometimes on pitch) below:
