Katy Perry Surprises 'American Idol' Contestant with First Kiss

(Radio.com) Nineteen-year-old Benjamin Glaze got more than he bargained for when he appeared on American Idol. During his pre-performance interview, the Oklahoma native admitted he had never kissed a girl because he'd never been in a relationship.
