How is this awful? There are very few musical opinions I feel like I don't understand, lol, but this is one of them. I see nothing about this song that would warrant the description of "awful." The vocals on the verses... Everything else about this song is really good, though.

Yes her vocals on the verses sound like a bad American Idol audition.

The lyrics to this song is great. You said, 'there's tons of fish in the water' So the waters I will test I love these two verse the most!

I wanted "Waking Up In Vegas" :( Me too but I guess I'm okay with this. It's the only single-worthy ballad on One of the Boys. WUIV should be next.

What the hell is the problem with her vocals in this song?

I think this is one of the tracks where you can hear the Alanis influence in Katy's vocals. Some of the strange inflictions in her voice are very reminiscent of some of Alanis's early work but not nearly as strong.

I think this is one of the tracks where you can hear the Alanis influence in Katy's vocals. I definitely agree with that. Especially in the second verse. It's in the "er" sounds like summer and winter and center. I like it though. It's makes her voice identifiable and interesting.

WOAH! All the hate on Katy's vocals in this song and in general kinda blow my mind. I really wasn't expecting to read that kinda blasphemy here, even from those who I thought would obviously hate the song.
As a person who loves Britney but recognizes she has an incredibly weak recording voice, I think it's fair to say that Katy Perry belongs no where near that category of weak voices. She doesn't have the power of Pink's voice or Kelly's, but damned if she isn't in the next tier of talent in today's music industry.

Please refer to any live performance of hers, and tell me how she doesn't have weak vocals? ???

^She actually sounds better there then she does on the recorded track lol.
I'd still say her voice is weak though. That's a nice performance, but vocally it's not very strong.

Sorry, but i hear a very weak voice. She's whispering more than singing, and her voice cracks so much it sounds like it's ready to give out at any given point. No big deal really, there's plenty of huge pop stars with weak voices, but I refuse to praise this girl for her voice.

I wish the single had been "One of the Boys." Much better than this song.

You know what I think I love about her voice? It's not it's power, obviously that's debatable, but it's the emotion she portrays. Everytime I've heard her live, particularly on songs like Thinking of YOu, Self-inflicted, Lost, and Waking Up in Vegas, you just hear the pain and joy pouring out of her. I dig it.

I think this will be another hit for her. Then "Waking Up in Vegas" and she will have four hits from her debut.
