RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer

Moffet launched the sports festival in 2007 after witnessing the inequalities peo- ple with disabilities encountered. “I have not been rock climbing since I’ve been in my wheel chair,” said partici- pant Mark Jones.

In fact, it was a genius card to play, turning Perry into a bigger music star then she already was. Perry’s songs are so upbeat and catchy, even guys are getting caught singing along. It’s very typical to see a guy drive down the freeway with “California Gurls” blaring out of his car. Another aspect that makes this song appeal to boys is the fact that rapper Snoop Dogg is featured. He comes out rapping half way through the song, making quite an impact of the hit song. Although “California Gurls” is the most popular, it’s not the only great song on this album. It’s accompanied by the hits, “Teenage Dream” and “Hummingbird Heartbeat.” These songs are more about love and dreams you strive for in life. In the summer, it seems every girl is focused on looking good and attracting that perfect boy. Teenage Dream hits all the main points you’d expect from a good summer album. You have your typical love songs, your upbeat dancing songs and your emotional, yet inspirational songs. This album is unforgettable, fi erce and fun. It brings many more elements to the music world that had yet to be introduced by previous artists. Perry has the, “girls just want to have fun” innocence about her but she also has a little bit of a bad girl side that makes everyone think she may just be a little wild. Her music has evolved so much from her last record to Teenage Dream. She seems to be trying to make a name for herself and stand to out creatively. Teenage Dream was the hit album of the summer, whether it brings good, bad, or fun memories, when we look back at summer 2010, Perry’s album will always be apart of it.
