Katy Perry Sings 'Hey Jude,' Pays Tribute To Sir Paul McCartney, The MusiCares Person Of The Year (PHOTOS)

Katy Perry sure knows how to make an impression. The pop star, along with Coldplay, Tony Bennett, The Foo Fighters and Neil Young, honored Sir Paul McCartney Friday night as the MusiCares Person of the Year.

Perry gave a soulful performance of "Hey Jude," but it was the "Teenage Dream" singer's pink flower hat that grabbed everyone's attention.

The singer tweeted prior to the event that "Tonight's [look] is Petal Power themed."

During her last public performance at the offical pre-Super Bowl party, Perry -- sans petals -- flirted with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow by dedicating her provocative song "Peacock" to him. Perry recently split from her husband Russell Brand in December.

Check out more photos of Perry and her "petal power themed" hat -- and a video of her "Hey Jude" performance -- below.

Like with most "artists" today it ALWAYS has to be about ME ME ME.

We're going to need a bigger flower.

Her taste is so peculiar, the dress isn't so great either.

She has a manufactured look.

Was that song she performed last night a mes.sage to Russell Brand? Wow - what a k.is.s-off!

It is the fascinator to end all. Must be her homage to the Brit tradition of ridiculous fascinators--take THAT, Princess Bea.

Could it be some growth from a badly aimed Russel Brand facial attempt?

Katy Perry should be forced to pay money for the right to be in the same building as Paul McCartney.

Or, forced to do topless jumping jacks. To show off her true talent (s).

She doesn't have the presence to wear that hat and it just looks silly.

NO!

You know what will be news? When Katy Perry's actual singing is as interesting as her cartoonish hair and getups.

[chicgirl]

That's what I wanted to say, she's cartoonish. I don't believe she really is into the way she looks, I think she thinks it's cool.

Well it's not just her what about Lady GaGa, Nicki Manji and the list goes on and on and on and on. No substance to todays music.

As a life-long Beatles fan, it's my firm belief that it should be illegal for anyone else to cover a Beatles tune. : )

If you can't outdo the original, don't even try. And no one will ever outdo a Beatles original.

I tend to agree with you, but I have to say I love Elton John's cover of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

Okay. That is one exception, but probably the only one EVER.

Marvin Gaye knocked "Yesterday" out of the park, though.
