    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!

    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.

    Every 2000’s and late 90’s babies childhood. Its a perfect themed album but kinda generic.

    Teenage Dream é o melhor album pop da década 2010 e um dos mais importantes álbuns da história do pop! Não é a toa que quebrou recordes e ainda continua fazendo 10 anos depois! Todo mundo sabe disso!

    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.
