I remember reading years ago where some user described this song as a straight version of Perfect Illusion and I can't unhear it ever since. 

 

 

What are some comments about songs from here that stuck with you?

a few members called The Fate of Ophelia 'good' 

why is it so accurate 

A few members called bandaids a smash 

I will never forget how Disease was described as Paparazzi 2.0 

A few members called bandaids Katy's Flowers 

A few members somehow called "Cancelled!" single-worthy  

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't.

 

Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Scream Queens avatars and tributes to Nick Jonas in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Britney" — that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Britney's. "But I know Britney! Circus was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Britney, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer.

 

The Britney of "Private Show" is Britney as Britney is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.

 

This is the probably purest attempt Britney has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

Do you remember when Katy's manager said Daisies would be her We Belong Together

that man hates her. he also said Lifetimes is a smash hit. I HATE HIM

Some gems from the Gaga discography rate from earlier this year really stuck with me: someone called Grigio Girls Kayleigh'd garbage, someone else said that Come to Mama lost Hillary the election, and then the one person that envied that Joanne never had to hear her namesake song  

Katy as the female Michale Jackson.
