DSN, Pretty Please, Love Again, Hallucinate, Physical all have a climax. I agree that TS was a missed opportunity but saying she never serves adlibs feels objectively wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that TS was a missed opportunity but saying she never serves adlibs feels objectively wrong If you compare her adlibs to for example Katy's, Ariana's or Taylor's ones they sound flat when they could be much bigger and bold. It's just my opinion. Her songs are amazing tho despite this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her songs are amazing tho despite this Im not big fan of Kevin Parker production choices, even its seems to be cool to praise him, but his production to me is always based on one or two interesting sounds, like a good bass line or synth and thats all, to me copy and paste chorus 3-4 times without any ad-libs, drumroll, riser or effect to differentiate them and provide climax is just lazy and on TS it is very obvious, basically last chorus is the same as first one, copy and paste, thats why I prefer the structure of live version more. Despite this I love Houdini and I love TS, both are on repeat daily 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't know how to do pop music , pop should be progressive , the song needs to evolve and maintain excitement till the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they kinda ****** up with TS, the final chorus definitely needed to be bigger. You can easily notice the difference between the first and the second, but then the final one is flat. But as a whole the song keeps growing and adding elements during its progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Robin Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The only thing about Training Season that bothers me a little is that the piano in outro is too monotone when it went like an octave higher during the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, she rarely does adlibs in final chorus - a few (very quiet) "ooohs" in the background of Houdini don't change that fact lol 2 hours ago, Burqa said: not every can follow the same structure.

I agree that TS was a missed opportunity but saying she never serves adlibs feels objectively wrong As others already said, listen to Taylor's and Katy's final choruses with max martin songs. Do you not know what I mean? Lol In general, she needs to push herself more, vocally. Almost Every song of hers is so boring vocally and super easy to sing. Which is fine, but after a while it's gotten very unimpressive and almost lazy. I hope she gives more on RO! 2 hours ago, mike_int said: Who is that?
