Katy Perry - One of the Boys


Who would believe Katy Perry was actually born in a religious family of two pastors, was forbidden to listen to secular music as a child and started her career as a Christian Gospel singer?

She made a switch to pop music at the age of seventeen. That must have been a stressful period for her parents, when your teenage gospel singer daughter turns out to be one of the biggest pop stars in the Lady Gaga category :-)

It is not a bad album, not at all. But the problem with it is that when you have a daughter or children at the age 7 to 14, every freakin' fancy fair, open school day or whatever you can think of, every stage performance by girl groups is done on like 3 popular songs and you as a parent have to listen to 'I Kissed A Girl' a zillion times, looking at similar dance steps over and over and over .....


The result is when you play random music, you think 'ughh, Katy Perry, skip!'. That is not enough honour for this album, because it really is a good album. So maybe Katy's parents were right. Little girls should not listen to this kind of music, so we parents are not influenced or forced to dislike it, lmao.


Still and despite of all the big hits drawn from this record, my choice is the first track, one that you don't get to hear too often, but is actually one of the best tracks.
