Advantages: Very girly

Disadvantages: The slower more serious tracks

I like this album, it has the three F's; fun, flirty and feel-good. Yes I feel like a teenager listening to it but thats good isn't it? it's light-hearted and most of the songs are catchy and upbeat. It's true it's not a musical masterpiece but if you've heard her debut I don't think thats what you expect from an artist like Katy Perry.

The graphics on the album cover are bright and cheery showing off her vintage 'cute-as a button' pin up style, the picket fence and cartoon bird on the back are reminiscent of a disney movie and illustrate how girly she is despite the title 'One of the Boys'.

The best track is probably 'waking up in vegas' along with the title track which has a lovely little story about 'the girl who wants to be girly and noticed by the boys instead of one of them,' in it's lyrics. With the more serious and slowish songs being her weaker tracks like 'Thinking of you' and 'Lost' - they're still good, I'd call them growers but I just think she suits an upbeat style a lot more.

Vocally she does have a good raw sound - I've heard her sing live on the radio and this showed her ability to actually sing although I doubt she has as high a vocal range as someone like Leona Lewis...I don't think she needs it for her poppy anthem style and the songs she chooses.


As her title track describes, the girl who wants to be girly and noticed by the boys instead of one of them I think this is the essence of Katy Perry and don't we just love her for it.

Summary: A fun lighthearted sing along, perfect for the car - I loved it
