There’s no doubt about it: Katy Perry is weird -- and she wants everyone to know it. And while not every teenager is going to go out in the world wearing a light-up candy dress, they should find comfort in the fact that Katy Perry does. In a May interview with Entertainment Tonight, Perry equated her odd nature with being sexy. She remarked, “I think it's the weirdness [that makes me hot]. Maybe it's just that fact that I'm OK with being a geek.” And that is the secret that landed Katy Perry on Maxim’s Hot 100 List.

Whatever makes her weird, Katy Perry fans are connecting with her message. As one webcam devotee states at the beginning of the new movie “Part of Me 3D” about her idol, "She taught me it was OK to be weird." The message of course being that everyone should be themselves. In her uniqueness, Perry extends the notion to fans that if they are true to their own spirits, they’ll be originals just like her.

But this is a time when kids are being bullied for being different and the pressure to fit in is only reinforced by the popularity contests bred by social media. So even though deep down lots of kids might want to go to school in a carousel-skirted dress, it might be easier said than done. Do you think it's OK to be odd? Do you embrace your weirdness?

If your a performer, it works. weird unfortunately doesn't work in the real world. Businesses want employees to look and act according to their specific standards, which quite frankly is even stricter with men. If your a bit of a nut and male you fall victim to a lot of labels, and it's harder for you to find employment. The man (business, government) is still in charge, unfortunately.

Weird of different? I don't mind if people are eccentric or whatever, but not sure about weird? Dunno.
As for Katy Perry, she's merely a media whore trying to make a fast buck by appearing "weird." Intelligent people understand what she's doing. Here's hoping she dries up and blows away along with Beiber and a host of other reality show contestants.

Tell the hipsters it is OK to be weird, and then maybe you can get rid of those freaks when weird is "mainstream."

there's a definite limit between being weird aka being who you are and being weird aka attention-whoring though

HeeHee =D Of course! I know I'm not 100 percent perfect or normal but, then again who is? Just there is a certain point when you cross the line and..... you just kind of have to be careful on the level you take your weirdness but, other than that sure! ;)

As an artist, I wouldn't necessarily say she is even "weird". She should probably try a different angle, because I don't think this one suits her.
