    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

    Es un buen trabajo discográfico, me encanta porque abarca todas las facetas de la adolescencia.
    Esta hecho para adolescentes que disfrutan la música, no para personas que están sentadas detrás de un escritorio en un oficina de un periódico o revista que solo sueltan amargura a los agenos a a su círculo.

    Another pretty cohesive body of work by Katy Perry. It's singles are killing everything else! Even though, I prefer One of the Boys, rather than her next releases.

    It's one of the best albums of the 2010's decade and Katy served so much to pop music with this, she's a legend and Teenage Dream is a gift she gave us

    Un álbum que sin duda cambió el rumbo de la industria pop, Teenage dream por mucho es uno de los mejores álbumes de la década

    This has to be the most overrated album in history. What you basically get here is a lot of bubblegum music. The target audience are 7 year olds and kindergarden events. Even all the singles have aged like milk. The only song that is still listenable is "E.T.".

    This album came to change the history of pop, but has something generic and totally commercial, the sound and compositions do not get to be bad but there is something that bothers me, but the album is around saturated to hear from having heard in each corner or because it is surface too much. A mature Katy Perry in her next few years is what I'd like to hear.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was good in 2011-2012, at the time of the dance floors, but nowadays we realize that it was done exclusively for the years 2011 and 2012… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
