Nov 27, 2010I love the album's concept, the classic rock feel. I love how Katy Perry solely writes her song like "Thinking of You", "One of the Boys" and "Mannequin." I also love her singles which are danceable and fun. But some songs are same sounding and kinda boring. But at least, I see the artistic value in the album.

Feb 28, 2011Katy Perry Is One Of The Best Artists For Young Adults Because Of Her Style Of Singing.. This Album Features 11 Of Her Best Songs, Including Waking Up In Vegas, Hot N Cold, One Of The Boys, And Others...
This Album Show's Her Creative Side Of Singing, And Experience In The Music World...
This CD Would Be Great For A Katy Perry Fan! -
Jul 22, 2011From "One Of The Boys" to "Fingerprint" to the bonus tracks like "I Think I'm Ready", "Cup Of Coffee", "Electric Feel", and "Black & Gold" every track on this album is flawless. I really like the billboard review. At that time it had been a minute since an album was full of so many potential hits. I honestly had to pick my jaw off the ground when i saw the low 6.0 user rating on here!

Mar 27, 2012Still my favorite Katy Perry album. It more personal than Teenage Dream, and has an rock edge to it. I'm still breathing remains my favorite song of all time. I hope to seem more material like this in her upcoming album.

May 3, 2015De fato, o melhor álbum de Katy Perry até o momento. É um bom álbum e "prazeroso" de se ouvir, principalmente músicas como: Thinking Of You, Lost, I Kissed A Girl, Ur So Gay e One Of The Boys.

Dec 15, 2015Fresh and iconic. Creative, Controversial and crazy lyrics. Her debut album is a proof that she is a brave and fierce woman. She likes to have fun and break some of the rules and thats why I love her. Lost is one of my favorite songs from this album. She can sing, no doubt. I just love her.
-
Aug 28, 2020An excellent piece of work. Katy Perry demonstrates her skills right from her debut album.
-
Aug 28, 2020An amazing beginning for a pop singer who obviously not a one hit wonder ****
-
Aug 28, 2020Álbum incrível coeso e viciante. Katy perry nunca decepciona e nunca erra amém.
-
allyDec 25, 2008I really liked this album, and it's fun to listen to. Just goes to show that music is subjective.

-
Jun 19, 2017Pop-Rock con buenas líricas, si bien algo bajo en la cuestión vocal.
Letras divertidas, que te cuentan una historia pero a la vez tienen un ritmo pegajoso para que la canción se te quede pegada un buen rato.
Un muy buen comienzo que le da a Perry la fama suficiente para realmente despegar con su siguiente álbum, aunque abandonando por completo este primer y buen sonido. -
Nov 3, 2016perfect music for any occasion, besides having different nuances and emotions. fills the empty space of a boring life and brings a creative burden the listener from beginning to end.
-
Aug 28, 2020Her transition from gospel to pop-rock is incredible. The rebellious girl inside her came out to become one of the biggest pop stars.
-
Aug 28, 2020Um disco efervecente com muito alto astral, felizmente um marco na indústria da música, assim como todos os outros após.
-
Aug 27, 2020Álbum do milênio, um dos melhores que já ouvi na minha vida, simplesmente incrível e a frente do seu tempo
-
Mar 27, 2020For me it's the most favorite Katy album. It is pretty cohesive, and has many of her signature songs, and I like her pop-rock version more than her pop (or gospel XD) version.
-
Aug 28, 2020An excellent exciting words, piece of work album Katy Perry demonstrates her skills right
-
Aug 28, 2020diferente, ousado e incrivelmente pop com veia revolucionária mesmo não sendo rock na estetica melódica, mas na estética de resultado
-
Aug 28, 2020Arte que necesita ser apreciado, katy Perry dio uno de los mejores álbumes del 2008

Sep 19, 2020One of the best albums ever by the queen Katy Perry. I love it, the songs are all perfect, I love them all
-
Aug 28, 2020Great record with catchy tunes, the best one is "Thinking Of You", which Katy wrote all by herself.
-
Aug 27, 2020O primeiro álbum pop de Katy Perry que na verdade é um pop/rock trás músicas incríveis e muito lindas, não é atoa que já chegou quebrando recordes.

Aug 29, 2020Simply amazing. This is Katy Perry! this album represents her. this album gave the wolrd the one and only Katy Perry.
-
Aug 28, 2020A strong start to Perry's Career. OOTB takes a collection of stories that Katy wrote about throughout her late teen years and early twenties. The pop rock album is full of fun bops and some serious topics in her ballads. Def worth a listen
-
Aug 28, 2020Excelente estreia de uma pessoa que viria a se tornar uma das maiores estrelas deste mundo!!!
-
Aug 28, 2020such a cute and fun album! an amazing start to her career. love how the album ends saying "I'm leaving my fingerprints in the end" and she has gone off to become one of the most successful artists in history!
-
Aug 28, 2020I love this nostalgic album omg remember i kissed a girl a very sensational song
-
Aug 28, 2020La primer pieza discográfica con el nombre de Katy Perry. El álbum es una joya para su temporada, además de tener letras y ritmos pegadizos perfectamente coordinados, los temas son camaleonicos y se pueden usar para toda emoción del día.
-
Aug 29, 2020Sometimes gets boring but it still has thinking of you on it. That song is just something else. Also has many other bops too
-
Aug 29, 2020Com seu álbum debut, nasce a rainha do pop Katy Perry! Apenas o começo de sua carreira!

Sep 30, 2020ONE OF THE BOYS para ser el primer oficial álbum de KATY PERRY es muy bueno me encanta como mediante cada canción nos cuenta las historias de una joven adolescente que descubre muchas nuevas cosas en su vida que a todos nos ha pasado y lo acompaña de sonidos y melodías muy bonitas me encanto.
-
Aug 26, 2013It's good. Not the best album of 2008, but it's definitely close. The only bad thing on the album is some of the songs would be better for other singers.
-
Mar 24, 2013One Of The Best Debut's In Along Time!
-
Jan 27, 2017Não é o melhor da Katy, mas continua muito bom, adoro esse album pena que nao gostaram
mas é muito bom, adoro Lost, Thinking Of You, Mannequin, Hot n Cold, muito marcante -
Aug 22, 2010I expected something better from katy cuz i really liked her singles but the new songs are too slow and a bit boring,too. In a week her new album will be released ... let's hope 4 something more lively!!!
-
Mar 25, 2012Good album! Funny and simply! Love the way she sings with a guitar........... I prefer "Teenage Dream" but this is good, too. ( sorry for my English )

ChueWJun 27, 2009I thought it was great, even though I'm not really into this kinda music. I think some songs aren't that good but its a good album.
-
-
May 25, 2012I've decided to lower my rating a bit for this album. I still think it's enjoyable and fun, and it's refreshing to listen to pop music that isn't the same kind of electronic dance pop that is so common now.
-

Oct 30, 2015BEST ALBUM EVER. It was 7 years but im still hearing the songs in radio. Different by good way and I don't know why people hate. Recommend for everyone who like have fun.

Jun 10, 2017É o álbum mais Katy Hudson da Katy Perry, sem dúvidas, ele é um álbum muito verdadeiro, é um álbum muito íntimo dela. E eu simplesmente amo isso tudo, ela coloca todas as suas emoções ali, e é possível sentir isso.
-
Jun 9, 2017this album is such an iconic debut album. "i kissed a girl" and "waking up in vegas" are BOPS. "thinking of you" is so beautiful and you can really feel her emotion when she sings it, live or studio.
theres a lot of other songs and they are very very good and idk for me it basically screams DEBUT ALBUM!! DEBUT ALBUM!!... -
Dec 6, 2019A beautiful album with a great songwriting. A great way to show Katy Perry's talent as a new artist.

Oct 13, 2011Simply amazing. This is the real Katy Perry! Well she still can't sing that well, and she's quite terrible live - but this album represents her. Not purely commercial Teenage Dream.
-
Mar 24, 2013Katy Perry did fairly well on her debut album as a pop artist. Tracks "I Kissed A Girl" and "Waking Up In Vegas" are home runs.

Jun 8, 2017Un gran álbum con todas sus canciones potenciales para ser HITS. un gran debut, buenos sonidos, buenas letras y una trascendencia que durará años y décadas. Lo mejor que le pudo haber pasado al pop.
-
Jun 9, 2017Un gran debut en la industria, Katy se gano a toda clase de personas con el, muestra que sus oyentes pueden ser cualquier tipo de personas sin estancarse o depender de uno.
-
Sep 16, 2020Su primer álbum, un álbum que habla mucho sobre una joven adolescente que empieza a experimentar cosas nuevas en su vida contando muy buenas historias graciosas e interesantes lleva sonidos buenos y melodías bonitas creo que para ser su primer álbum es muy bueno.
-
AimeeC.Jul 9, 2008OMG. I don't know why people hate. This is a great album to listen to while you're on a long roadtrip with your girlfriends! Katy Perry's lyrics are funny, witty, and easy to sing to. I recommend this to anyone who has a sense of humor and likes to have fun.
-
-
EmmaOApr 20, 2009the reason people hate katy perry is because she has controversial lyrics, but actually she is very talented and a good singer/songwriter. anyways this album is great and not one song is a throwaway.
-
-
MattD.Jul 1, 2008The negative reviews make no sense, and it seems like they were pre-disposed to bash the album. For instance, no where does Katy sound remotely like Regina Spektor! It's a fun, refreshing album that offers unique viewpoints and very good hooks. Her voice is also very distinctive.
-
-
benhSep 4, 2008A strong collection of witty and creative tunes. One of the strongest albums that 2008 has to offer.
-
-
JoshuaM.Oct 5, 2009It's a good album with some good singles on it. Come one. All you guys can't say that "Hot N Cold" went through your heads at least once! My favorite song is "Fingerprints".
-
-
JB.Aug 15, 2008I LOVE this album. The bottom line w/an album should be, "Do I enjoy it and can I listen to it over and over?" This album is catchy, easy to listen to repeatedly and fills both requisites above completely. Can't understand the low marks.
-
-
MarkFJan 1, 2009As with most albums I like, there are some songs I think are utterly awful on this album. On the other hand, Katy's voice grows on you. The first time I heard Hot N Cold, I hated it because her voice sounded creepy. I grew to like her voice and songs because, unlike most people in the industry (looking at you Brit, as much as I like you), she can write and has a unique voice.
-
-
PauloCJan 23, 2009Nice songs and beats! There's a lot of potential hits.
-
-
FraserMNov 29, 2008katy has produced a awesome album which exudes creativity and freshness. Her vocals are so amazing and enticing possessing an ecelectic range and new sound. This is a great debut album and she is already reaping the awards for it. Looks like she'll be arfound for a while...look out for her, BIG i tell ya!
-
-
RichardHFeb 22, 2009Very catchy album, I don't understand the negative reviews. I love it!
-
-
StephaneCMay 23, 2009Excellent album... from a talented young lady. The first time I buy something for ages. It goes from rock to pop to ballads with her raw and strong voice, which is full of energy. Don't miss this fun and entertaining album and artist.
-
-
May 28, 2012A Great Debut Album!
I Think Katy's Real Self Didnt Seem To Shine In This Album Sadly Though... Still A Breathtaking Album..
I Dont Like That Some Song's Were Seen As "Rock"
Still Amazing!
Giving This Album Above A 8 Would Be Too Nice! -
Aug 26, 2013
-
Aug 26, 2014Great pop-rock debut album. Favorite songs: Lost, Im Still Breathing, If You Can Afford Me
-
Oct 17, 2013This is the worst album of Katy, but does not make it bad, not nearly. We have songs really tiring, but I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, Thinking Of You and Waking Up In Vegas are classic and even in his first album, the best pop hitmaker managed to stick her name in the history of music.
-
Jun 20, 2014Um ótimo album,pop o suficiente,criativo e divertido e sarcástico.
Ainda é e pelo jeito sempre será o melhor trabalho da Katy "nada princesa ou rainha" Perry. -

Mar 21, 2015Ótimo álbum, que nos anima de uma forma sensacional e nos deixa relaxados e calmos logo em seguida. Exemplos são Hot n Cold e Black and Gold, respectivamente.

Nov 27, 2020Un buen álbum debut con sonidos pop rock de la época, disfrutable y bailable, vocalmente se pueden ver esas influencias de outta know
-
Jun 7, 2017KATY PERRY É A MELHOOOOOOOR BB! ACEITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VEM PRO BRASIL LOGO DEMONIAAAAA
-
Jun 7, 2017Excelente álbum para comenzar la carrera. Buena fusión pop-rock con la indudable capacidad de escribir canciones que tiene.
Destaques: Thinking Of You, Lost, I Kissed A Girl y Hot N Cold -
Jan 13, 2020This was the start o one of the legends of pop, with rock influences, this album brings me a lot of memories when it was released on 2008. Now the feeling is the same like the first time, I just wanna sing loudly all songs, Thanks to this album we have: "Hot N' Cold", "Thinking Of You", "I Kissed A Girl", and other songs that we used to hear when we were younger.
-
Jun 22, 2017This album is a very strong debut for Perry. It's filled with versatile songs of varying subjects, and truly showcase a unique woman. While this album wasn't a take off for Katy, it is still a strong start for her and showcases her roots in musics and the battle she faced to get where she is today.
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
