I may go over and listen to Hummingbird Heart Beat and The One That Got Away but I've heard nothing positive that would make me interested in listening to the entirety of Pearl or What Am I Living For? I don't feel that my overall impression of the album will change though. I'm just incredibly underwhelmed with it all, yeah Katy has some marginally good uptempo's that have solid production, and? I don't know the thing that made her so interesting beforehand was that she was this edgy bit of pop with quirky-quick witted smart lyrics that made you look twice, now? she seems like so much less. It doesn't stop me from liking the tracks, but it's unsatisfying and incredibly superficial like that badly generic cotton candy you buy at the fair. So which tracks have you heard and which ones haven't you heard? I actually am hearing some positive feedback for Pearl. I'll give you What Am I Living For though. That one seems to be almost universally panned ;D I think the album is a bit of a middle ground imo. When I think of superficial and generic, I think of maybe that Paris Hilton album. When I think of a pop album with substance, I think of something like FutureSex/Love Sounds. I think this falls into a middle ground of being a well rounded collection of pop nuggets ready for take off. It's like this is her Good Girl Gone Bad.

I personally heard more hit material from One Of The Boys personally. To be completely honest aside from some of the heavier emotional hitters like Teenage Dream, Not Like The Movies, and Fireworks the Paris Hilton comparison isn't completely out of place, there are several songs off the album that could belong on a Paris album provided she had solid producers (Peacock, California Gurls, TGIF). I find myself liking Circle the Drain more with each listen just because it seems to be one of the few songs where Katy proves she still has even the smallest bit of bite still left in her. There could easily be superficial hits in TGIF and Peacock so she may very well end up getting two more easy hits out of this album but I am unimpressed because it all seems to easy and well lazy.
As to the songs I've heard I've heard all the iTunes releases and Peacock. The only songs I haven't heard are the four that I would consider the worst of the record from the clips offered: Who Am I Living For, Pearl, The One That Got Away and Hummingbird Heartbeat.

So annoyed!
I want to buy it at best Buy for their exclusive "Teenage Dream Boxer Shorts" (cause who the f*** wants a t-shirt lol target) and I have to drive to the one 20 minutes away in order to get it because the one down the road got none.
AY DIO MIO.
Now I have to wait until I get out of work to get it. ugh.

LW said that California Gurls is different on the album with the Snoop Dogg line edited out
Is there something different on Teenage Dream...with the instrumental? Something sounded weird to me when I listened to that version

BTW, Last Friday Night is the most downloded song from the album on itunes and by A LOT.
Doesn't shock me one bit, the song is VERY catchy and it would be a huge mistake if it is not released

I am seriously worried for Katy. I frequented my Target today and they had at least 130 copies total just in a front display, not counting 20 of the T-Shrit+CD bonus and it looked like nothing had been touched. Same with my Best Buy, but they had so many copies I actually stopped counting after I got to 150 They also had 30 of the Boxer Shorts+CD bonus set. I think her label is overestimating and shipping out too much.

Firework is last for you? That is interesting. I know a lot of people here didn't think it was that good, but I didn't think it was that bad.
Nice pick for #1 though. It will be a disaster if that is not released as a single. Reminds me of Mariah and "Migrate" or even more recently Usher with "Guilty"...smh @ a re-release

I'm loving TGIF because Katy has that kind of sorority girl innocent to make it really work.
Dear God Firework is awful.
