Katy Perry's Album "Teenage Dream" review

Since Katy's latest album has been leaked nearly a week b4 its official release, I hv kept listening to this highly-anticipated album these days.
Please be reminded that the following is not a full-album review.
I only share the songs that I hv words to say.

1. Teenage Dream
4.5/5
2nd single off her album.
I did a review in the previous post.
Check it out if u wanna know.

I can say I love this song now as it grew on me finally. XD 

2. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRP7PY2i57o
4/5

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's that mean? "Thank God it's Friday" (Thanks, Katy, u teach me a new word :) )
I really really love this song and am already addicted to it when I first hear it.
I hv to admit that the lyrics are kinda meaningless, just as likely as most songs of Katy's fd - Ke$ha. It's just about PARTYing.
but who cares? It's pop song, which u always listen to it and want to hv fun / bring u joy.
Although the lyrics are shallow, it does can make me feel I'm on friday night now.
So relaxing, lighthearted, positve, bright.
I keep smiling when I listen to it.
Most importantly, all teenagers, or even adults, love FRIDAY NIGHT. That's the period give us a break, a hope and a new start.

ps. hope that can be 4th single.

3. Cailfornia Gurls
5/5

4. Firework
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP_mJ_6DJas
2.5/5

Officially announced as 3rd single......
Video will be released in October.
TBF, I dun like this song much.
So strange that its melody is familiar to me, esp the line "You just gotta ignite the light. And let it shine. Just own the night. Like the Fourth of July".

I know it's too subjective to score this song with just 2.5 points.
But it's hard 4 me to give it a higher score while I dun like its melody.

5. Peacock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmh6FeqnxNc
2.5/5

I dun understand why so many ppl are so addicted to this song...
It's so annoying & stupid.... no offense
But I just can't take it...

7. The One That Got Away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q45PVYamJbY
3/5

That's an OK song.
Its lyrics are realistic.
Listening to this song is likely as watching a drama on TV.
Yet, quite boring due to its melody & structure.
I luv the following lines tho.
"All his money can't buy me a time machine. no
Can't replace you with a million rings. no
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. woe
Cause now I pay the price."

Natasha Bedingfield did a similar thing previously.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isnjB8BE9Ms
That's better than Katy's one imo.
Natasha's voice gives me a feeling that she's a tough girl.
In contrast, Katy's voice is softer and so projecting a weaker image of her.

8. E.T.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpS-mb9J94o
4.5/5
1st heard, 1st question:
"Isn't it the combination of Tatu's All the thing she said & All about us?"
Rip off? I dun know... & I dun care
Boz it's a perfect combination.

What's the meaning of this song?
Is it talking about some supernatural & extraterrestrial thing?
Or Katy's love relationship with a man or even an alien?
Wtever thing it talks about, the song is kinda creepy.
But it's just metaphorical.

The melodies & lyrics are catchy.
"Kiss me, k-k-kiss me, take me, t-t-take me"
Hope that can be a single as the music video would be fun.

10. Pearl 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szX-tUd6nAY
4.5/5
Luv listening to this song at midnight to daybreak. That's the time I ready to sleep.
Everytime I listen to it, I picture that a pearl necklace is sinking into the sea, into a deep sea trench which is dark & silence. But then, a mermaid will swim down there and pick it up.
Haha, that's just my feeling and imagination, nothing to do with the lyrics and meaning of this song.

11. Hummingbird Heartbeat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdqRXqFGmmI
4/5
There're thousands of bees in the world, but u can barely see a hummingbird.
Love the relationship between flowers, bees & hummingbirds
Who wrote this song is genuis.
That's all I want to say. ;)

12. Not Like the Movies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ewTkrfaWtA
4/5
It delivers a message to all of us.
A message that we all should understand.
MOVIE may not always be true.
We just can't always believe in it.

Katy Perry: It's just "Not Like The Movies"...
Fergie: True.... but u know, "Big Girls Don't Cry"!
