KATY PERRY "teenage dream" 2010, cd. #1 US,UK,Aust.
ok, this one is a promotional copy my cd shop guy gave me and it contains one track short of the full album("peacock" is missing from my copy)....what? did you really think i'd buy a Katy Perry album?
although i did like "i kissed a girl" and "waking up in Vegas" prior to this albums releases i really wasnt a fan of Ms.Perry....more a fence sitter waiting and listening.
im not a fan of "auto-tune" but i guess thats the way music is progressing(or regressing)! but i gotta start going with the flow to keep up.
This is a surprisingly good pop album, not dissimilar to the 'teenage girl' themes portraited by Madonna and Cyndi Lauper in the 1980s, its all about good times and feel good images.All the tracks on this one get "like" ratings bar "firework" because there is just too much auto-tune involved. the three best tracks here are tracks 8,9, and 11, they are slower tracks whereby Katy actually gets to put some feeling into her lyrics, thus showing a hint of musical maturity, she appears to be a consistant performer, not bad but neither is she great...yet.
ive got a feeling that once she starts maturing as an artist that she will have a long and successful career, much like Madonna, who took several albums before she really gained universal respect as an artist, and like early Madonna, Katy has the looks, the moves and the talent to succeed in the long term.
