    "Teenage Dream" is a nice mainstream album. It packs songs including "California Gurls", a quirky, yet summery dance tune. "Firework" and "Hummingbird Heartbeat" is beyond Katy's best songs in the album, with its strong detailed and europhic story-telling lyrics. Then comes to the more lower-than-average songs.

"Pearl" is a good and pure minimal disco song, but to me, it isn't as a strong song to the album. Then "E.T." is futuristic and a mean song to listen, and probably Perry's most produced songs, but it doesn't tell much than a fantasy.

    Overall, the album is although better than her debut, but we sure can't wait for what more Katy Perry has planned, and plus, although Katy might have good songs in the future, 'Teenage Dream' is with-out-a-doubt Katy's best album in her career.

It is one of my favorites. A highlight in the album, E.T.- Fun and robotic one of my favorite tracks also. I Love It!, Who Am I Living For?- worst track in the album, stupid, boring, whatever, Pearl- OK. Kind of boring but i awkwardly love/hate it, Hummingbird Heartbeat- best pop rock song in the album, it is sweet and beautiful.

    A good pop album throughout. It has catchy songs and great beats that could be enjoyed by anyone. But this album is lacking in two things, great vocals and real instruments. Sure it has instruments in like 2 or 3 but it would be better if most of them had it. Also congratulations to Katy for tying the record of #1 singles off an album with MJ

    Brief review:
    Lyrics: Clever, but need to be more developed. Still diversified, funny, and emotional (ex: California Gurls, Not Like The Movies, The One That Got Away) It is sometimes hard to connect with some of her songs.
    Music: great pop, dance music, 80s vibe, you have a feeling that it is commercialized music, missing a bit of the “honesty” and “soul” that was present on her

    Basic but does the target. Clearly it is better than their previous work. His voice sounds more powerful, the theme of the album is different although it tends to be repetitive. Again the rhythm of the songs are in their favor. The deluxe edition of this album is also outstanding. Most recommended songs are "Teenage Dream", "Firework" and "The One That Got Away".

    Um álbum que trás felicidade, com muitos hinos, musica de superação, musica que traz realidade...
    Os #1 vieram como consequência do sucesso das faixas.
    Teenage Dream é o melhor álbum da Katy e não por ser comercial, e sim transparecer e passar emoção, fragilidade, felicidade e melancolia em suas faixas.

    Teenage Dream marked the peak of Katy Perry's ever so fast falling career. This album wasn't meant to be amazing it was meant to create big hits like California Girls and Firework. It didn't have a strong meaning it just had a fun meaning and sometimes we need those kinds of albums.

    IS an amazing album, the sounds employed on the disc are varied.

    Teenage Dream é o trabalho da Katy que eu menos gosto. Ele é ótimo, claro. Mas é meio subjetivo. O álbum foi o mais bem aproveitado da carreira da Katy, com 6 singles (mais dois da The Complete Confection). O vocal da Katy está ótimo no álbum, além das músicas serem ótimas também.

    Pontos altos: The One That Got Away, Firework, Pearl Pontos baixos: Peacock, Circle The Drain, Last Friday

    Since I do not know the best way to start this review, maybe I should just begin by saying I am very impressed with Katy Perry’s Sophomore album, Teenage Dream. Like its predecessor (though more on the “pop side”), Teenage Dream does a wonderful job of being a wonderful blend of rock and pop, which makes it a blast to listen to the whole way through. From catchy lyrics to ballads about lost love to the occasional slap bass, this album packs in a lot of punch.

    I wish I could include all my song-by-song commentary, but that would push the review past the character limit.

    Overall, I was very happy with Teenage Dream. I know I’m listening to this as if someone is watching a movie released 15 years ago, but I am very excited to listen to Perry’s subsequent release. This pop-rock direction she is heading in is very enjoyable and I just find myself wanting more. Her fun lyrics combined with her outstanding music make Teenage Dream a winner for me, and should also be a hit for the greater pop community (some rock fans may really get down with this as well, like I did). Highlights: Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, California Gurls, Firework, Circle The Drain, The One That Got Away, E.T., Pearl, Hummingbird Heartbeat, Part Of Me, Wide Awake, and Dressin’ Up.

    Teenage Dream is a good pop album... and that's what it is, it doesn't try to seem deep or meaningful, an album that knows what its made for. Pop songs that are perfect for radio play, parties, or just dancing in your room to feel better about your day...

    Definitely the best pop album of this century! Five number one songs that topped the Billboard Chart on USA, making Katy Perry the second artist of all time in the music history to achieve that milestone (the first artist was Michael Jackson).

    Tutte le più grandi hit della pop star americana, che ha segnato l'adolescenza di un po' tutti noi, sono racchiuse in questo album pop. L'album non vuole stupire o provare ad essere alternativo, è un buon album pop che ha segnato questo decennio e la carriera della Perry.
    L'unica pecca solo le 2/3 canzoni abbastanza dimenticabili.

    To judge Perry as inauthentic or unoriginal would be wrong; as with any great ad campaign, uncanny familiarity is her greatest achievement. However, for all the pomp and watermelon costumes, Perry is primarily a smart and personal pop songwriter. And «Teenage Dream» shows in carefully selected spots-that she's ready to grow up.

    Melhor álbum da década de 2010's, teve 8 singles de sucesso que todos entraram no top 5 do hot 100! Como podem dar nota baixa para algo que ninguém faz? KATY PERRY é lenda e não há machista que desvalorize as obras primas dela com uma notinha porque não consegue fazer melhor!

    An album that marked the beginning of the decade. That set records and became widely known. With a strong first half and a bit weaker half it still holds up, but is it Katy's best? No

    This is a pop perfection album for the last decade. Great Job, Katy! This is just your sophomore album but you already outdid yourself. The singles made justice for the entirety of the album. The tracks are just so amazing. Lyrically wise, great. Sonically, awesome. Hands down to the production.

    An artist cannot make pop rock ?, Which is not a "women's thing", abut male artists release an album that is not of their style but if they praise it! Teenage dream is a good album, that perhaps they were not told what is the bible of pop

  1. Positive: 4 out of 19
  2. Negative: 2 out of 19
  1. After some severe front-loading, the album is filled out by songs that are too dark or lifeless to work alongside the Candyland motif of the cover and sunbeamy splash of California Gurls.
  2. Teenage Dream is the kind of pool-party-pop gem that Gwen Stefani used to crank out on the regular, full of SoCal ambience and disco beats.
  3. There's none of the ABBA or Cardigans influence she claimed, nor any of the fun she seems to have in real life. For now she just sounds like another of pop's Stepford Wives.
