    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.

    One of two albums to ever have 5 of it's tracks hit #1 on the Hot 100, and there's a reason why. Teenage Dream expanded on Perry's popularity with classic tracks such as Firework, Teenage Dream, E.T., Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) and California Gurls. Such a timeless album.

    Everything about this record is nothing but iconic, every song is a bop. No duobt that this is the perfect definition of a pop record.

    É triste como a crítica massacrou esse álbum, e ao longo dos anos se tornou uma Bíblia do Pop, enfim pagaram com a língua, 7 nomeações no Grammy e o único álbum feminino da história a possuir o Spotlight Awards.

    Katy Perry's second hit-maker of an album is certainly sweet, but in a sickening way, and the singing is its usual mediocre style. However, it's Katy Perry so it's only to be expected

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many of the songs the same and the songs in Teenage Dream lacks the feel which I think is the most important for an album to have. The only song that have the feel is "Firework" which I think is the best song I hear in the album.… Expand

    The rock references are not unusual in her previous albums or other pop albums. But it makes us dream of his lyrics and melodies, and also brings comedy and sex appeal with **** (which should be single). The album featured six singles in the Billboard top 200, was epic, but for the professional critics found wanting.

    Simply the best pop album I've ever had the opportunity to hear. Very teenage, yes, but very lively and well produced. Katy is on fire, and Prism could be as good as Teenage Dream.

    Teenage Dream (2010)

    Pure pop perfection. It's quite the epitome of pop as I would envision it. It is no wonder that the Singles all did exceptionally well, with each of them reaching #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, save for The One That Got Away, which would have made the feat if the album had not exhausted the listener's limits.

    Pure pop perfection. It's quite the epitome of pop as I would envision it. It is no wonder that the Singles all did exceptionally well, with each of them reaching #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, save for The One That Got Away, which would have made the feat if the album had not exhausted the listener's limits. Her labels choices of Singles were very spot-on as they represented the best that the album had to offer. Unfortunately, the album itself had a few tracks that limited the album's potential, such as and Pearl. They were badly-written, albeit playful, productions, that were possibly the cause of the claims that many critics chided as being juvenile. Like in her previous album, One Of The Boys, Katy stretches her potential here as well producing less pop-sounding tracks like E.T. and Circle The Drain. They give off a different feel that showcases her flexibility as a writer and singer. Overall, the album made a good impact on the general audience, thanks to the infectious sing-along tunes that came off her Singles, especially California Gurls and Firework that lastingly spanned over two whole years before she released an EP to it The Complete Confection. This album really made her shine in the midst of sheer competition from the mainstream pop industry, sealing her name as an act to continually look out for. It's also an album that I spin frequently, and will continue to do so for a very long time from now.

    Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection (2012)

    Was an EP to the Teenage Dream album necessary? No.
    Was it worth the attempt? Yes.
    Definitely didn't regret picking up this album even though it wasn't much of an extension to the original album. This album elongates the success of her previous album by adding 3 new songs in, as well as remixes/acoustic versions of the prior Singles. The release of Part Of Me and Wide Awake puts a final stamp on the success of this album as a whole, and highlights her ability as a pop artiste. The additional songs do fit in well with the album, but it also questions the future success of Katy Perry's career and whether she is able to produce a record that is more mature and a better representation of her as a person. Even though the album sounds similar (standard tune and lyrical structure) throughout, it maintains the consistency of the record and is still an album worth listening to as a whole.

    Katy Perry (com toda sua doçura presente nestas faixas) conseguiu fazer um dos álbuns mais amados pelos admiradores de música POP, onde canções como California Gurls, ET, Firework, Last Friday Night e outras foram eternizadas na carreira da cantora e no cenário musical

    Katy creo un álbum lleno de canciones carentes de sentido común.

    Que sea un álbum con muchos hits NO lo convierte en un buen trabajo, de hecho, más allá de sus hits esto es puro relleno.

Cheio de músicas dançantes e letras positivas que falavam de sentimentos que eu não tinha experimentado e como era delicioso estar vivo! Foi uma era totalmente visual, e por estar precisando de mais raios de sol na minha vida, logo fez com eu mergulhasse naquele mundo algodão-doce e virasse um “fanboy” realmente aficionado na cantora que flertava com aliens e que dava festas loucas numa abençoada sexta-feira a noite; cheia de alter egos e looks marcantes, foi uma era memorável que definiu minha geração! Consumia tudo sobre as músicas, os bastidores e ensaios de foto. Ficava o dia todo tentando entrar no site da finada MTV Brasil com minha internet discada pra fazer com que os singles pegassem número um no TOP 10 MTV e aquilo tudo era um escape pra realidade difícil que eu estava vivendo.
    Foram as palavras e toque de felicidade que a Katy colocou na minha vida que fizeram eu realmente entender que estava tudo bem ser quem eu era, que mesmo se eu me sentisse como uma sacolinha de plástico vazia voando por aí eu era uma verdadeira explosão de fogos de artifício esperando para acontecer e eu finalmente entendi que sim, eu merecia viver e merecia ser feliz! Lembro de uma entrevista honesta da cantora falando sobre como tinha sido sua infância cristã e como ela também era proibida, assim como eu, de consumir coisas que não fossem relacionadas a igreja, aquilo me deu esperanças e me ajudou a criar energias e construir o lugar seguro que estou hoje: mesmo que seja feito de madeira e que algumas vezes algum lobo mal venha assoprar e derrubar toda fundação, a cantora me ensinou a como reconstruir tudo de novo, ela me ensinou como me reerguer, pois, também precisou fazer isso diversas vezes.    … Expand

Sem sombras de dúvidas um dos álbuns de maior impacto e relevância em toda história da música. Único por uma artista feminina até a presente data a conseguir o Spotlight. Não tem uma pessoa no mundo que não conhece Firework, também conhecida como MÚSICA DA CARREIRA, dona de uma letra impecável, um vídeo super maravilhoso, uma mensagem de auto aceitação e emponderamento cada vez mais necessária nos dias atuais. California Gurls é aquela música que entra ano e sai ano e a gente não enjoa de escutar. Teenage Dream é um marco, o single representa perfeitamente as emoções da Katy em seus sonhos adolescentes. E.T. possui um dos melhores clipes da história, um single muito bem construído em todos os aspectos formais e materiais. Last Friday Night é a música que não pode faltar em nenhuma festinha com os amigos, maravilhosa, dançante e inesquecível eu diria. The One That Got Away é aquela balada clássica da Katy, um divisor de águas. Muita gente considera essa música, por sua autenticidade e características únicas e especiais, uma das melhores da carreira. Eu tô nesse grupo. Não é minha preferida mas está entre as melhores. Uma pena Peacock não ter virado single, seria o sexto #1 de Katy no álbum, quebrando o recorde do eterno rei do pop. As faixas não-single realmente poderiam ser melhores, mas isso não diminui a aclamação do álbum e o fato dele ter sido, sem dúvida, o maior ato da música pop dos últimos 20 anos.… Expand

I recommend having loads of money for that to happen, though, because it will lead you to have several number ones on Billboard. Corporate is cool.

    Why be able to sing, when you can just fill your stage with candy? Why write about homelessness, AIDS, stress, or the aftermath of war when you can write about peacocks and fireworks? Why have Tom Hanks or even Charlie Sheen when you can have Rebecca Black? Why not obtain breast implants if that's how people will be attracted to your music? Why not be as stupid and anti-intellectual as possible?

    Okay, but take note that Katy Perry hasn't broken any chart records in UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, etc. Other countries do not allow payola/radio airplay to be taken account in their charts.    … Expand

    Um ótimo álbum, não entendo da nota mediana dos sites, pois Katy Perry conseguiu misturar todos os sabores, uma salada 100% pop e conceitual.

    Obra prima da Katy Perry, um misto de faixas profundas e emocionantes e faixas leves e agradáveis.

    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.

    Perfeição pop. Um álbum incrível, com músicas que você pode ouvir em qualquer momento da sua vida. Teenage Dream faz jus ao nome, com todos os nuances dessa fase (mas de um olhar maduro), amores, medos, aventuras, inseguranças e claro muitos sonhos. Simplesmente um álbum hipnotizante.

    Teenage Dream is the best pop album of the past decade, although the "Experts" say no, the general public yes, and that this bible of pop broke many records at that time, so for me it has a 90 and nothing more

    Katy Perry has an amazing change with this album, compared with "One Of The Boys". There's pure teenage-pop, very infectious, and how not to mention the great success that most of the singles had on Billboard... "Teenage Dream", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) and "Firework" will be Perry classics, without a doubt.

    typical pop artist who just wants to get money with no repetitive sounds new & mediocre. Katy Perry as the musical field is mediocre, do not know how has succeeded so if you want to enter the top 50, you better be devoted to something else, because a woman as old as she may not be singing music for girls 10 and 11 years.

    A commercial album through and through, but that's alright albums are allowed to be commercial in my opinion. Highlights are 'California Gurls', 'Firework', 'Teenage Dream' and 'Part of Me'.

    This is probably the best pop album EVER MADE, full of smash hits that we all know just by listening to the radio. When you listen to this album, you find out that you know a lot of the songs, and that the other ones that you don't know are just as magical. Katy Perry is not only the biggest hit-maker of this century, but she is also very talented and resourceful.

    Time proved this is going down as a classic pop album. There's a whole pop perfection vibe to this record. You feel young listening to it. Katy's proved that mainstream pop music can be extraordinarily satisfying and the lyrics don't need to be shallow all the time.

    With "Teenage Dream", Katy Perry became one of the legends of music, breaking records, having (8) hits, doing what most artists can't do easily. With any doubt, this is a pop bible, Thanks Katy for extisting and bring this album to the world. Teenage Dream is just LEGENDARY like the singer that gave us "Firework", California Gurls", "E.T.", etc. It's a MASTERPIECE!!!

    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.
