Katy Perry Says Madonna Can Be Blasphemous In Her Live Shows

January 18, 2011
Katy Perry Says Madonna Can Be Blasphemous In Her Live ShowsKaty Perry has taken a dig at Madonna for being too blasphemous on stage.

Perry, who's a devout Christian, has spoken out about singers and performers who use biblical symbols in their live shows.

"For me, spirituality is something very important and I don't like it when people take it lightly," Perry told The Sun.

She added: "At times, I don't understand why there are artists who play that card, like when Madonna gets up on a cross to sing."

"Russell has made very blasphemous jokes in the past, but he's making fewer all the time because he knows that I am very sensitive about this subject."

Meanwhile, Rihanna and Katy Perry have attacked a former Big Brother contestant who launched a Twitter campaign promoting “managed anorexia”.
