Album Description
Ever since the November 2007 digital release of the hilarious, zeitgeist-capturing single "Ur So Gay," Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing critics and fans alike (including the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna) with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs. Katy's debut album, One of the Boys, is a sharp, witty pop-rock gem filled with candid tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends ("Hot N Cold," "Ur So Gay"), crazy road trips with friends ("Waking Up in Vegas"), and figuring out who you are along the way (first single "I Kissed A Girl," "Fingerprints"). While the album displays Katy's feisty, girl-power swagger, it also reveals her more vulnerable side on such regretful ballads as "Lost," "I'm Still Breathing," and "Thinking of You." Although just 23, the Santa Barbara, CA-born native has been writing songs and playing guitar for several years, and possesses the flair and confidence of a veteran storyteller. Catch her in all her glory this summer when she joins the Vans Warped Tour for its entire coast-to-coast run.

Kristina Tyson (Dallas, Tx)
Katy Perry has a fresh new voice. The single "I kissed a girl" is catchy but this CD actually has more songs on it that are worth listening to.
 cd sucks not sellers fault August 27, 2008
Tiff any (Maryland, USA)
I was really happy about my cd purchase. My cd arrived just as described. It also arrived earylier then expected. thanks for the cd and an awesome low cost and speedy delivery. However i only liked 2 songs on the cd so thank goodness the cost was not that much. Seller shipping and cd quality is great.
Solid effort from an artist with huge potential August 25, 2008
C. Eberlein (Boston, MA)
Katy Perry may have started her career in the Christian genre, but this alt-pop goddess soars on her mainstream debut in the form of One of the Boys. Her smash single "I Kissed a Girl" is one of the catchiest songs this summer, and surely received most of its attention due to its off topic subject matter. "Ur So Gay" is another gem, albeit not nearly as catchy melodically, but more so lyrically as Perry lists all the reasons her ex is "so gay" even though "you don't even like boys"; I personally don't find any anti-homosexuality remarks here, but obviously songs like this have grabbed attention from those in the homosexual community for usage of the "Ur So Gay" moniker. But "Hot & Cold" stands to be just as catchy, if not more, than "I Kissed a Girl." One of the Boys is simply a delight to the ears, a piece of rock-infused pop that displays a powerful voice intermixed with some great songs. Sure, not everything here can match the incredible heights of "I Kissed a Girl," and yet moments of brilliance permeate throughout: for example, "Thinking of You" is a powerful ballad of heartbreak with a driving bridge and knowing lyrics. Overall, One of the Boys can easily be considered one of the best pop albums of the year, and deservedly so.
 Katy Perry, kissed a girl and that's about it August 24, 2008
SuperMom (OKC, OK)
I really had high hopes for this cd. But was really disappointed. The only song I really liked was "I kissed a girl." And it's on the radio so much, I really am bummed I purchased the cd. Wouldn't buy, if your thinking about it.
 Hot item done perfectly right! August 21, 2008
R. Kallio (Smalltown, Wisconsin)
I am basing my rating on the 30-second listening previews, only. I am active in the music biz and I know hits when I hear them. Compared to the enormous boatload of JUNK that exists in this music world of today, I love the catchy Pop/Jazz/Hip-hop style of Katy Perry's music AND the way she sings it. How refreshing! I do not view this as stereotypical Pop music. She has a certain unique style based on her voice and annunciation. This was also recorded and produced very well. Like the Van Halen boys and I agree, if it sounds good, it IS good! 'Nuff said!!!!
