One of the Boys

I first saw and heard Katy Perry on an episode of "The View."
I watched in awe as she strutted herself about the stage and mingled with the audience.
What a stage presence! What a song!
Oh, yeah, the song was "I Kissed A Girl."
After her performance, I was totally hooked so I went on Amazon.com and bought the LP "One Of The Boys."
Now I am not a huge fan of today's music. My cut-off point is usually 1980's music. However as I listened to songs like "Waking Up In Vegas", the title cut, "Thinking Of You", and the hit "Ur So Gay," I instantly beacame a fan.
I can hardly wait for her next lp...

I have to say I was somewhat dissappointed with this CD. I love Katy Perry, her wonderful fresh voice, and I love her unique style, but her music was pretty "usual". I love the Go-Go's, and I found her to fall into that same bubbly-pop category. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I suppose her songs "Ur so Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl" gave me the false impression that she was more "edgy" than the CD actually was. I enjoy the frequently played songs afore-mentioned, and I enjoy her lyrics, but overall, nothing I would be playing over and over.

When I first heard Katy's first single, I wasn't all that into it. A couple months later, the song was finally stuck in my head and I listened to the cd on Amazon to see if it was good or not. Then, on a whim I bought it--and I defnitely don't regret it! This debut album is simply fantastic and much more original than what has been coming out. From what I have listened to on the cd, Katy has a sharp, creative tongue and doesn't hold back for anyone. She starts out with the incredibly strong song, "One of the Boys," about being just another friend to the guy she loves, and ends with the incredibly inspirational song "Fingerprints," which is about doing your part to make history in some way. While there are a lot of cracks about "I Kissed a Girl," Katy is a truly great performer and her cd is much, much better than her hot single. She is definitely worth checking out and I hope she has staying power--we need more music like hers!

after I kissed a girl there isn't much else you can go because that track caught on, but Kathy Perry is another artist who is trying to re-sell a 80's style hybrid vibe and while good on the eyes she is way short on talent.vocally she is weak and nothing on here speaks on lasting. cute slick Production, but short on material and songs.

Not terrible crazy about this CD. Maybe one to two good songs and thats about it.
Maybe I'm just getting too old for this kind of music...
