Advantages: some songs ok, couple of good ones to dance to Disadvantages: depressing in parts, quite generic overall
...ALBUM + 01. ONE OF THE BOYS - (04:07)
This starts off with quite a bouncy bassline and rather indie-ish in nature with cute/possibly annoying 'doo doo do-doo-do's... the catchy hook continues throughout the song and is a great start to an album and will definitely get the crowd going at a concert. Excellent starter track and a song that thousands of high school girls will want to sing at some unrequited love, although I can't put my finger on what ... ...we first experienced in track one - this is a song where you can predict the accompanying video to contain: shaky camera angles, arguing in the hotel room... changing to a shot of Katy and band onstange at the crescendo of the chorus. Another crowd pleaser for sure, with a slighty more rock edge - as much as it makes my skin crawl, I'd expect Avril Latrine to have done something like this before the whole 'gone blonde-I wanna act' shite. Don't hold ...

Advantages: A couple of decent, fun songs Disadvantages: Mostly stuff that been done better elsewhere already
...single from the album and one which started all the hype. The hints of same sex snogging, as practised by Madonna and Britney Spears a couple of years back drive the lyrics of "I Kissed a Girl". Even without the hype, though, it's a pretty decent track. It's a decent heavy pop tune with a techno background and a bouncy bassline that drives the song and would make it equally good to hear in a club or for walking along the road with it on your mp3 ... ...You" sounds so much like one of her tracks that I keep expecting the lyric to switch to "Isn't it ironic, don't cha think?" at any moment. It's a pretty dull pop track, which tries to get going a little during the chorus, but gets dragged back into mediocrity by the verses.
The opening part of "Mannequin" is so reminiscent of Amy Studt that I occasionally have to check exactly which album I'm listening to. It livens up in ways she didn't, but the ...

Advantages: Catchy tunes, different Disadvantages: None
...and bad and this is one of the reasons why I decided to buy her debut album, One of the boys. Add to that the fact that she won Best New Act at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards and Best International Female Artist at the 2009 BRIT Awards I was quite excited to listen to the album.
What I love about Katy is that she has a really kooky, unconventional style and just seems like a very fun girl. She has a very fun sense of dress and some of her stage ... ...Like I said, One of the Boys is her debut album and was released on 17th June 2008. As of February 2009, the album has sold over 800,000 copies in the United States. The album has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Her breakthrough single was the very fun, very catchy, ?I kissed a Girl.? In it she basically sings about kissing a girl, that it felt wrong and right at the same time and if her boyfriend would approve ...

Advantages: Brilliant, catchy, singalong tracks far more individual than others out at the moment Disadvantages: It only has 12 tracks
...pass you by" and is one of the catchiest on the album and one of the ones that make you want to get up and dance. One of the others that is similar in the way that it makes you want to get up and dance and sing along is "Self Inflicted", it is a typical pop song with a big chorus but with a catchy guitar rhythm behind it and a strong drum beat. Katy knows how to mix catchy pop with rock music and bring in people with all kinds of music tastes. The ...

So if you fancy a bit of light hearted fun, and quirky, catchy songs, this is the album of the year for you!
A must have by any woman! ...

Advantages: Very catchy songs! Disadvantages: Few disadvantages!
Katy Perry was unknown last year but now she has become worldwide known for her music and shocking actions. This fiesty american singer/song writer obviously bases all her songs around real life experiences, most of her songs being based around reading teen magazines, shaving her legs and boys, she manages to convey her emotions with a impressive vocal range, proving that she is much more than just a pretty face! Personally my favourite songs on ... ...as arrogant as the title makes out it to be, this song is about real love and boys. 'Thinking of You' is different to all the other songs in the fact that it is quite slow and shows off Perry's amazing voice. I also like 'Waking up in Vegas' with its infectious tune and catchy lyrics. Overall, this album is very enjoyable and addictive, and certainly not just for girls! ...

Katy Perry's debut album has arrived.

Ur So Gay also happen to be her first single. Her second single, I kissed A Girl, was a huge success in the US despite controversies saying the song promotes bisexuality and promiscuity. ...
