SteveOJul 10, 2008Just proof that this world is spiralling uncontrollably down the drain.

RicardoCJul 25, 2009Everything is wrong here. The concept, the music. Catchy enough to listen to it once or twice. And yes, she's got some style, but ultimately, she's an empty marketing product.

Nov 12, 2012Rather than being hot and cold, Katy Perry's One of the Boys is just cold.

Nov 11, 2013LGBT-offenders I Kissed a Girl and Ur So Gay might have promised an album that may at least be musically catchy, ONE OF THE BOYS Strives so hard to be good controversial pop, but it winds down to a forgettable set of songs.

CharlieM.Sep 3, 2008This album sux. Her vocals are bad and just shows people don't have talent anymore. Aimee, plz ok Seriously, people like you no offense just want some catchy song that just fulfills the moment, when there are so many better artists that never see the light of day. Such a disgrace.

Aug 31, 2019Her debut album showed she had some talent in music, but the lyrics were actually so terrible. Most of the songs sound so loud and uncomfortable.

Nov 10, 2017Laughably bad. Her immaturity is seen yet again. Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor lyrics. Disappointing. Dropping out of high school wasn't a good idea eh?

Oct 5, 2018It's always the same crap, but this one in particular is a little bit worse

Jul 20, 2019De lenda ao fracasso. Lixosa sem graça, fracassada. Never really over fracasso mesmo kk
-
Aug 29, 2020Thinking of You is a highlight for the album but the general impression for the album is mainstream pop.
-
Oct 2, 2020This project feels like an uninspired one, I wanted to like it but it didn't happen.
-
SpencerCOct 15, 2008I Kissed a Girl and Hot 'n' Cold are both amazing songs, but the rest of the album is torture. To pour salt in the wound, a few of the other songs have potential but are performed horribly.

DaveJSep 15, 2008there is no originality to this album whatsoever. it's part The Used, part Regina Spektor, part Kelly Clarkson to name just a few. completely superficial, basic songwriting for those who like easy listening, even though most of the melodies are awkward. in my opinion it completely patronises the listener.

ShauniL.Jul 19, 2008Screeching, Insincere. More gloss than substance. Incredibly disappointing artist. As for potential listeners, you're better off listening to early Liz Phair.

ColeTJan 5, 2009Terrible, media-based album. Crap.

JamesH.Jun 15, 2009The primary problem with Katy Perry is that her voice is very thin and lacks anything vaguely called "range". Beyond that, the songs are calculated pop-trash pieces that come off as derivative and boring, leading to a truly awful experience from the first song onwards.
-
-
WesM.Jun 21, 2008Pedestrian effort; even the three tracks actually possessing tunes and lyrics distinguishable from the 13 tracks offered are indistinguishable from the wealth of LCD pop currently out. Don't get drawn in by the promise of her LGBT-themed hit and titular track; this is a concerted, transparent effort to bait and switch unsuspecting consumers.

DevinSep 15, 2008Brainless and talentless. Homogenized, cloying tunes set to some of the most obnoxious lyrics ever committed to record. People giving this album a ten "can't understand the negative reviews?" What I can't understand is how anyone, even a preteen, could possibly consider candy-coated trash like this art.

Sep 3, 2021Buen debut pero le falta originalidad y personalidad propia, despues de esto katy fue en picada en cuanto a calidad....
-
Nov 24, 2021Terrible. No passion, no soul. Worst album of the year. I need something really good to clean up my ears right now.
-
Nov 21, 2016Not as bad as the critics claim it to be. Also, it includes Hot And Cold and Thinking of You. These are the only two good things i can say about this record.

Mar 19, 2021While undeniably catchy, the hyper-produced songs have a familiar radio-ready quality that becomes infuriatingly mind-numbing over time, and Perry's vocals sound like a less-soulful Kelly Clarkson at best, a drunken, spurned sorority girl at worst.

The problem is not with Katy's gender-bending, it's that her heart isn't in it; she's just using it to get her places, so she sinks to crass, craven depths that turn One of the Boys into a grotesque emblem of all the wretched excesses of this decade.
-
Yes, Perry has a heart, but it sounds like her bustier's too tight for her to use it.
-
'Mannequin' features some cleverly written lyrics, but Perry doesn't possess the grit or vocal prowess to follow through, and the title track is like No Doubt's 'Just a Girl' sans personality and conviction.
