Katy Perry: Cherry Flavored Saccharin Delite!


But is that a good thing?

Have you heard of her yet? What you haven’t heard about this new (some what ripped off)act? Well she is classically beautiful and she is crooning about kissing girls and liking it.

"I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick" I Kissed A Girl

Words that come to mind to describe Katy Perry
Word 1: Cute
Word 2: Vintage
Word 3: Quirky
(not a great adjective list, sadly it gets worse)
Staying power? Not sure at this point. Katy may have potential to have a terrific follow up album or she may fizzle out like other young talents in Hollywood. I suppose only time will tell if she will pull or a Brittany or an Alanis.

She reminds me a lot of Lilly Allen, just minus the whole spoiled British princess part. Her sound is fresh and fun, just in time for cool summer evenings. I recommend all windows down, “I Kissed a Girl” blaring, wind blowing through hair and a cherry slush a la Sonic.

Her whole album is a little on the random side. She is acoustic, electro-industrial-dance. Katy's first release off of One of the Boys is “I kissed a girl” which is a fantastic electro-industrial-dance power ballad. However, the electro-dance theme does not persist through the rest of the songs on the album. “Thinking of You” is the classic girl strums guitar and reminisces about love lost, her vocals in this song are a mash of Abra Moore meets Shakira, seriously, hear it out.


I recommend:
Hot N Cold
I Kissed a Girl

...........And that Miss Perry seriously consider giving Dita Von Tease her idenity back.

I give it 2 out of 4 kitty paws!
