Omg lmao I forgot about that mess of a performance with Xtina screaming over Ariana and completely losing the melody. I mean that's typical Xtina showboating and doing the most when nobody asked for it so to be expected from her but Mariah isn't that type of singer and knows better so idk why she made the choices she did on this remix. Mariah and Ariana have similar strengths and style, both usually know how to compliment their duet partner instead of trying to overpower them. I know Mariah isn't the singer she used to be but still she can do way better than this with her current abilities. I think if they did a new original song together we would be having a very different conversation. Wasted opportunity for a highly anticipated collaboration, unfortunately. 1
sweetkiss Posted February 16 Posted February 16 its absolutely normal to have a messy era. at least its entertaining and shes a pop star so shes doing a great job i just wish ofc for her to be happy and healthy, but its all in her hands 1

Is very vogue (which turned out to be true) and said that the album is very RnB also if i recall he also said ES is his favorite project from ari

kindararenext Posted February 16 Posted February 16 i think the music video for the second single has been shot, i wonder if it'll be dance-y like yes and or a completely different sound (lowkey hoping for the latter)
Tm4074 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 12 minutes ago, R.E.M. said: y'all are doing entirely too much acting like we didn't get that **** "Good as Hell" remix, a random Demi Lovato collab, and the entire Charlie's Angels era under Scooby. I mean yeah you're right I probably am doing too much but two of those aren't her songs and the Charlie's Angels soundtrack was during TUN era hype so it was easily buried. The problem is these missteps are happening during her album rollout and are supposed to build positive hype for her upcoming album. They aren't random side projects so it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the album at the moment. Expectations are obviously much higher for her album opposed to a Lizzo remix to a song first released in 2016, an album track for Demi's album, and a thrown together soundtrack full of TUN rejects for a flop movie . I don't think it's that crazy to be skeptical considering she usually comes in strong with her leads and this time she isn't. She can definitely turn it around with the album I'm not saying its guaranteed doom lol. There is a lot I do like from this era so far, just this isn't how album rollouts typically play out for her ignoring the Focus incident which caused her and her team to re-assess that album direction entirely. 1 1

R.E.M. Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Every era has had a major misstep and she's recovered flawlessly every time. My Everything: Problem lyric video not being uploaded on time and her missing the #1 by a few points. DW: "Focus", Donutgate + "I hate America", the entire first half of the era + "Everyday" as a single when 'Greedy' was begging to smash Sweetener: "everytime" not being a single, releasing a song called "pete davidson'", "breathin" being cannibalized on radio by TU,N, TLIC as a promo single. TU,N: 3 singles (one of which being buwyg,ib), album abandoned by the summer to release "Boyfriend" ft. Socialhouse and DCMA. Positions: 2 singles, no live performances, no interviews besides Zach Sang, released during election week. I promise a passion project remix on a #1 song featuring her idol is not going to derail ES. 3 3 2

KatyPrismSpirit Posted February 16 Posted February 16 yea the remix sucked but it wont do damage. that flop 2chainz remix didnt have impact on thank u next album either. so excited for march 8th
wantedyoutogrow Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I really want her on a song like this one or “Feel complete” by PinkPantheress

I've heard yes, and? is the worst song on the album, so it sounds like there are better songs. But I'm not sure what kind of effect its had on the album's commercial prospects Edited February 16 by Blue Monday
mxoonlight Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I think you guys are overdoing it now because you know she's going to gag you later. Literally her literal brats. 1

You forgot to mention the biggest crime in "Positions" is to not give full single treatment to POV (a music video of her wedding would blow up the world) + not capitalising on Motive when it went viral on TikTok 2
wantedyoutogrow Posted February 16 Posted February 16 ngl I atleast hope the last cover reveal tomorrow is a serve
wantedyoutogrow Posted February 16 Posted February 16 On 2/9/2024 at 11:12 AM, wantedyoutogrow said: my guesses for the surprises: feb 17th – the last cover variant reveal + track 3, 7, 11 titles revealed feb 27th – track 4, 8, 12 revealed + yes, and? remix announced march 1st – yes, and? (Remix) is released march 7th – track 13’s (aka the second single) title reveal I wonder what will happen on the 27th now. Maybe a music video for the remix?
If U Seek Amy Posted February 16 Posted February 16 The ATRL/Twitter aspect of this era has been the worst part of this era if I am being honest. The song itself I love. The remix is meh but I can just ignore it and move on. We have heard nothing else regarding the sound. The visuals are... a choice. But overall things are fine and it is performing generally fine. The era is bad when the music is bad as a whole from the album. It is Twitter/ATRL that wants me to believe that the song is awful and that the era is awful and failing. A number 1 hit that is still high up in the top 100, 41 million views currently on YT, has this much conversation with only 1 single out, and all of this after a hiatus is hardly a bad era. I agree it is not ideal, but people need to take a break and remember they are here for music 2 4

kindararenext Posted February 16 Posted February 16 3 hours ago, wantedyoutogrow said: I really want her on a song like this one or “Feel complete” by PinkPantheress omg YES. i think her voice would go so well over a 2-step beat, and since it’s seeing a resurgence rn i don’t think it’s impossible
Gerardo Posted February 16 Posted February 16 People are doing the most here and on twitter saying stuff like the era is awful and that so is the music when the album hasn’t even dropped
perfectillusion204 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 1 hour ago, wantedyoutogrow said: I wonder what will happen on the 27th now. Maybe a music video for the remix? 27th will probably be more track names + Signed CDs. 7th will be single #2 announcement with video coming on the 8th
