"American Idol" Contestant Said He Didn't Want Kiss From Katy Perry

Benjamin Glaze, the 20-year-old American Idol contestant who revealed during his audition that he hadn’t yet experienced his first kiss, said he didn't appreciate judge Katy Perry surprising him with a peck on the lips. “I was a tad bit uncomfortable,” Glaze said. “I wanted to save it for my first relationship. I wanted it to be special.” The incident took place back in October but didn’t air until Sunday’s premiere. Had Perry asked permission, Glaze said he would’ve rejected her advances. “Would I have done it if she said, ‘Would you kiss me?’ No, I would have said no,” Glaze 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.” Glaze said he did not feel sexually harassed.
