Katy Perry is the late 2000s version of the sassy pop-rocker wielding girl power like an Uzi. Blending elements of Alanis Morissette, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani, Perry's 2008 debut, ONE OF THE BOYS, bashes metrosexuals ("Ur So Gay"), flaunts lesbian experimentation ("I Kissed a Girl"), and celebrates spontaneous road trips ("Waking Up in Vegas"). Thanks to a cadre of top-shelf producers, including Desmond Child, Dave Stewart, and Glen Ballard (who also produced Morissette), ONE OF THE BOYS glitters like spun cotton candy, but it's Perry's bold, topical songs and in-your-face attitude that help the album pack a punch.

Rough like a Boy, and Dramatized like a Girl
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: It has wonderfuul album artwork, and crazy lyrics that anyone will enjoy.
Cons: There aren't any really. Some of the songs move to slow I think.
Bottom Line:
I think this is a very versatile album that anyone would enjoy. No one should only judge based on I Kissed A Girl, because the album is better than that

Pros: Half of these songs are very good indeed.
Cons: There's way too much mimicry when she should just write from her heart.
Bottom Line:
I was surprisingly delighted by this pop album, which had put America in a stir. But you also have to notice that very few of these people mention the *music*.
