Livin high and takin it easy

When Ryan is not around and Basketball TV or History Channel or Discovery Channel is not on; when the maid is not by herself watching local TV shows; and when the maid has Lia with her, the TV is on music channels – either Channel [V] or MTV.

So two days ago, I was sitting on the living room floor and tending to my Cafe on Facebook and Katy Perry concert commercials kept playing on MTV and I thought, “I have a Katy Perry album. Why don’t I play it too?!”

So I played the album and Lia just would not sleep until she have had her time with my laptop. Because of her typing (more like banging), this is what I found!

The album info. Because I’m just stupid like that. Never knew there is that feature. *straight straight face on*

Album Review

Listening to Katy Perry’s debut, One of the Boys, it’s easy to assume she’ll do anything for attention, and a close read of her history proves that suspicion true. Prior to her transformation into a teen sensation, Perry was a Christian singer operating under the name Katy Hudson…
… the 24-year-old is singing with the desperation of a fading burlesque star twice her age, yet Perry’s pandering on One of the Boys is startling, particularly as it comes in the form of some hybrid of Alanis Morissette’s caterwauling and the cold calculation of Britney Spears in her prime. This fusion is no accident, as Perry works once again with Ballard, the producer behind Alanis’ breakthrough Jagged Little Pill, and Max Martin, the writer/producer of “Baby One More Time” — and that’s just for starters! She also brings aboard Desmond Child to give “Waking Up in Vegas” an anonymous anthemic pulse, Dave Stewart to give “I’m Still Breathing” a Euro sheen, and Butch Walker to amp up the amplifiers, giving her a different sound for every imaginable demographic.

Perry is not untalented — she writes like an ungarbled Alanis and has an eye for details, as when she tells her emo metrosexual boyfriend to hang himself in his H&M scarf on “Ur So Gay” — but that only accentuates how her wild-child persona is an artifice designed to get her the stardom she craves..

A Euro sheen indeed! That just so happens to be my favorite song in the whole album. Followed closely by “Lost” and on third place, “Thinking of You”.

“I’m Still Breathing”
