Obsession

I think it will be just fine, but I don't think they'll finish adapting all the books or if they do, the latter seasons will be really bad

Black children and teens get adultified, but also I wanna say most of the people on these forums are usually younger than Beyonce and just kinda remember her always being around.

All the "Slayyyter was 15" excuses are ridiculous and just show a blatant disregard for black people's feelings. Black people were 15 too. You guys act like saying these things online are victimless crimes, but there are black people in the world and online who have to put up with these attitudes everyday. It's not something that deserves to brushed aside, just because she apologized one time. She can't issue an apology every year, but her and her fans should at least shut up and respect that what she did was heinous and should follow her for the rest of her life. Was everyone really so woefully unprepared for the fact that getting a bigger audience means more people (including black people!) finding out that she was being racist on the internet? Also, what harm is she even receiving from people bringing up that she was racist? She performed at Amsterdam to a sold out show, she just sold out MSG and white people en masse are telling the few black people complaining online to shut up on her behalf.

I really thought she'd atoned and changed, but these comments, as well as her stans acting like she's owed support, do not inspire confidence. The thing a lot of white artists and people don't seem to understand is that even when you're apologetic, you're not owed forgiveness for racism. It's wild crazy that you all think because she wrote a letter and gave some money to some black people that every black person is supposed to be okay with her slinging the N-word around and spouting off microaggressions. She's a great artist and I want to believe that she wants to be a good person as well, but this strong-arming black people to act like racism is just another childhood milestone is ridiculous and just serves to make black people even more annoyed with how the constant disrespect and depersonalization based on our skin color is easily dismissed.

Love the rebrand - I did like some of their songs before, but this is definitely setting them apart from the other girl group revivals lately. I also have to disagree with the idea of adding a new girl. Every new girl group is trying to do 4-5 girls in a group and them having 3 members with this tight chemistry and who have clearly learned each other's voices helps to make them more unique.

It's really idea 1 by Kelela, but Sunglasses is good as well. Madonna, Kim, Slayyyter are all good too

They're not good and people are finally getting tired of mindlessly supporting her bad music

Confessions II. I think the album's great, clears most of these, it's an incredible feat for someone who has been in the industry so long, and it's a sin to not have Madonna win album of the year at least once - and she's given us an extremely worthy contender

Like…she might like Xtina but she's always cited Janet and Britney as her biggest influences. Also she's a dancer and Xtina can't dance

Yeah, I used to be into them before Jesse dated Billie AND their drummer assaulting Maria Zardoya (and then them bringing him back after firing him briefly). I still hear the song every year, it's a modern fall classic unfortunately, y'all probably aren't outside enough

The Pitchfork score is a bit too high. This is the first Tove album I really struggle to play through, and I only like 5 of the songs (DNH, Are We On a Break, I'm Your Girl Right, FAMT, and Die For My Art With a Lonely Heart). Idk what the hell she was thinking. That's still mother though but damn

Obviously the numbers are objectively good, but you cannot act like a 60% drop on your 2nd day is indicative of anything good

She won't wake up unless the Grammys snubs her. I doubt they will, but she needs it more than ever.

Just a good tight debut album. I think the music on the Sellout EPs was a bit more diverse and I miss that a touch, but it's hard to argue against an album that's so well put-together.

Such a fantastic body of work. It's no small feat for a 24-track double album to be this consistent. I love the record's soundscape. I think it's possible this didn't fully need to be a concept album - she could have created a more potent version with fewer songs, but it's hard to fault her for including all of these songs when she's easily one of our best chroniclers of the romantic spectrum. Maybe not everyone will feel it's her most flawless collection of songs, or that it doesn't push her forward enough, but it's an instant classic to me.

This Michael Jackson bop (POSITIVE)

Lowering my expectations because whew, I don't think any of the new singles are on the level of SexOnTheBeat or Go

No, she's not. I think she was close with FN, but frankly, she takes too long between eras and Radical Optimism downgraded her quickly.

I think it depends on what she does. I think she does need to switch it up. She's talented and I think she can pull off another sound, but I don't know if her newfound fans will follow her. She should have held off on MBF until this year tbh.

I think they're both fine. Olivia's album is doing really well - she's pretty much back to Sour numbers after Guts dipped, and people are def still talking about the album. But there's not really much else to talk about until Olivia goes on tour or unless she makes an appearance at the VMAs. It's not like she's really doing anything. And then Billie's album came out in 2024 so there's not really much else going on with her. She's busy working on BE4 and The Bell Jar.

It's just something silly to pass the time. Kinda wish we got better shows sometimes, but it's whatever, most television is really bad nowadays

Can't stop playing the album. Really love that she brought back some R&B elements on this one, and it feels dreamier. I def feel more of her Imogen Heap influence, especially on the last song.

Because she really doesn't think anything is wrong, and she's been very candid that she thinks the public is just trying to control her. We'll see what happens because I think the consensus online is that if she's not going to be an acceptable weight, then people feel she needs to stop existing in front of the world. I really think this is going to send the wrong message to people online, but I hope the best for her; she's had an incredibly tough time in the public eye for over a decade, and she's always handled it with as much grace as anyone could expect. And maybe she will get the help she needs - but I don't think this wave of harassment is conducive to the remission of an eating disorder.

Half of the people commenting on her weight were not concerned about her at all and were hoping she'd die to prove them right, but I think the break is for the best. It's clear people won't stop until it reaches a breaking point and they won't let her continue until they feel it's suitably addressed. I personally have always thought she had an ED, but I don't know what people think the discourse was meant to accomplish. Hopefully, this will be enough for everyone to leave her alone and stop acting like she's the second coming of Lucifer for the crime of possibly being sick.
