5.0 out of 5 stars Pop Starlet Surprises, December 13, 2009

By	Jordan Buchnell (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

Katy Perry's Unplugged album came slightly out of left-field. Hardly anybody would expect a radio friendly pop star such as Perry to go ahead and release and album of her hits acoustically, in the classic Mtv Unplugged format. However, that is what she has done, and the results showcase the young singer/songwriter as a girl whose raw talent and ear for music has sadly been overshadowed by her over-the-top personality and outfits.

Her voice and stage presence are impressive, and her cover of Fountains of Wayne's "Hackensack" and her jazzed-up version of "I Kissed a Girl" are the stand-outs on the album. Particularly the latter, which turns the bragging party anthem into something of a darker, worrisome take on Katy's uncertainties with her sexuality. Whether this was deliberate or not is purely in the mind of the listener, and Perry obviously is content with just sitting back and letting her fans sort out the pieces.

Regardless, this album stands as a testament to a young artist's talent and well-deserved place in the American pop music lexicon. Give it a listen. Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Katy won me over with her stripped down performance, December 3, 2009

By	Matlock (Detroit) - See all my reviews

I loved Katy's unplugged session. Made me a fan. Her voice shines. Dig the accompanying instruments - strings, horns, and all. Her comment about aiming to dress up like a cross between Stevie Nicks and... a fairy. Haha. She's gorgeous. The topper was her cover of Fountains Of Wayne's Hackensack. Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown away!, January 25, 2010

By	LeisaMc (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

I just finished watching the show on Palladia... twice. Katy Perry is an artist that I have been torn about. I have liked her music, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to buy a whole album. It's just a little too much pop for me, a little too young, and her antics made me take a "wait and see" approach. I just happened to turn on the show at the beggining. About 10 seconds into her jazzy rendition of "I Kissed a Girl", my jaw dropped and I started recording. I never noticed how fantastic her band is. They really shine in these accoustic versions where you get to hear the fine points. I was mesmerized for the whole show. As soon as I was done watching it through the second time, I launched Amazon in hopes that she had released a CD. I love it that I can get the DVD, too!
