But her attempt at breaking out as a solo artist has been rocky – lead single "Cannonball" sank like one – and this album of insta-dated EDM-pop anthems and half-cocked bass drops probably won't help her cause. The songs about love's ups and downs have a few memorable lyrics ("My heart's too drunk to drive"), but not nearly enough, and Michele's show-tune-style belting is a little too perfect for today's pop charts. Still, the album will make a decent audition tape for Julie Taymor's inevitable production of Teenage Dream: The Katy Perry Musical in a few more years.

Does Rolling Stone Magazine know of the word "mercy"?
She's not meant for mainstream pop. She should have went the adult complementary route. Even if that, her voice is meant for Broadway.
It's a lesson learned though. They're right. It's TOO choral for pop music. She sings like a choir from pronunciation to technique in singing. Pop music is about breaking those rules.
