I don't like it... for me it's bad

Bad Album, critic completely deserved.

Easy, eye-catching, effective and essentially made for kids.

It's like chewing gum, it 's good at the beginning but after that it doesn't have flavour anymore ...

She has to work with underground producers in the future as Gaga, Rihanna or Bee since some album ...

Its not a masterpiece, but still very solid .

I loved E.T. but that was all.
It's not a BAD album, it's just annoyingly cheesy and gimmicky.
LFN is completely poor. California Girls was catchy, but poor quality.
Teenage dream, iew.
Firework, good message, just cheesy.

The stupidity of Katy Perry fans continues to amaze me.

Yet you have a KP stan on your sig & come to this thread without make a valid point ( I mean, really? nothing personal about TD? )

It's not a bad album, but it's not a good album either.

My signature is yet another example of the stupidity of Katy Perry stans.

You can be a fan of this album and of Katy all you want, but it is absolutely laughable when Teenage Dream is deemed "epic artistry" when it is absolutely soulless and unoriginal. But the most pathetic thing is that in response to the criticism that the album is soulless, it was said that "Last Friday Night" is based on real life events, and is therefore not soulless and that Peacock is about Katy's ****ty personality and is therefore not soulless. And I thought it was obvious, but the irony in my signature is that a Katy Perry stan is saying that critics are much more important than a forum full of people who worship generic music when Katy's music is completely generic and her biggest achievement from Teenage Dream was finally getting over a 50 on Metacritic to receive a spectacular score of 52

I think its god awful.

You're saying that the album isn't personal. How it isn't "personal" when those songs are based on real life events & her "****ty" personality?

but anyway LFN, CG & Peacock are trashy, but what about the others?

Just because an album isn't "Dark" or with a bunch of ballads doesn't mean that is soulles. She's in Love, the album is about being in love and feel like a teenager again. That's what is happening to her right now.

Funny how everybody was praising her in mid 2010 and now that she's breaking records and owning the charts with her singles people start hating on her

Soulless is not the same as impersonal. Read my post again. Just because a song or an album is based on real life events does not make not soulless. Last Friday Night is apparently based on real events, but that doesn't make it any less shallow or soulless. I never mentioned anything about ballads or darkness being requirements for a good album. It's simply that Katy Perry is catering to, literally, a teenage audience with Teenage Dream by making sweet bubblegum pop with catchy hooks but no maturity. Just because she co-writes her songs (alongside usually 3-5 other writers) does not make Teenage Dream a good album. At some point, she has to realize that she's 26, not 12, and while it's nice that she's in love, being in love typically enhances the creativity and quality of an album, not renders it so generic and hollow that only mindless teenagers are able to relate to it. The fact that multiple Katy Perry stans have said that her "****ty" personality on the album make it personal, and therefore a good album, is simply beyond human understanding.

As Travie McCoy himself said, ""I heard she put out a song that's about me, or about some old habits or whatever," McCoy said. "I look at it like this: I'm just stoked that she finally has a song with some substance on her record. Good job."

Bad album, personal opinion.

This.

I was meh about it.
While it doesn't really work as an album, it works perfectly as singles.
Maybe it was its arrangement or something.
