It feels right saying goodbye to ATRL in this day (23/05/2022) since it's the 11th anniversary of Born This Way, an album that truly made a difference in my life among others. I'm very grateful for all the 5 years that I've spent in this forum post, I opened my account at a period of my life where I was young, didn't have a job and way too much free time in my hands. I discovered a lot of music with the help of you guys, had a lot of Last.fm accounts, a lot of downloaded music in my archaic iTunes that I still use to this day to play my local music on my laptop, made the transition to streaming with you guys, cried to a lot of music and loneliness of dealing with finding love as a gay guy, expressed my gayness through stan expressions and phagly gifs when I don't act that way or have gay friends to act that way in real life, spent time online with a lot of amazing people from all over the world, trained my english, expressed my love for pop music that later on evolved to R&B and alternative music as well, and just made my days funnier with the threads and messiness all around. Since I'm banned from the Lady GaGa base, the place that last resembled the iconique Stand Your Ground, and since there's no SYG left, and I feel like I'm past the days where I used to spend hours checking replies and finding funny gifs to express the right amount of messiness that I wanted, I say goodbye. It was truly wonderful, I have great memories, all the CDs I bought because of ATRL, all VMAs, Grammys, that I watched with you guys, all the album releases, all the pop emergency threads, I remember how much fun the Random Thoughts and Stand Your Ground threads used to be, how we were part of a family and shared a lot of sh*t about us etc. Remember when we used to have so much fun in Random Thoughts, @Nemo @Ryan BTE? I don't remember anyone else's username from those days, only you guys but I'm sure some are still here. I really can't afford wasting my time in here like I used to back in the day and I'm saying this in the best way, as nicely as possible, don't want to "shade" anyone, I know there's a lot of people putting their time to make this very important community alive, this is a place to make people's lives nicer through music and pop culture especially LGBTQ folks. About Born This Way, I also cried a lot with this album, it was exactly what my 16 year old gay self that felt really alone and misunderstood needed. I rarely listen the album nowadays, but when I do, it paints a picture in my mind of those teenage years that I'm truly grateful. Not to mention that time was all about IM and forums and no social media, it was nice to be a teen in those times. I'm moving on, thanks for everything!

we could belong together

A mess. At least the fight will occur in one thread

What type of opinions can I voice?

I’m telling you this isn’t the right route how can I be a hater if I want her to win

Fans are allowed to have opinions and their own minds. It happens to every base. Some would like TS to release more folklore music others more pop stuff. Same way with Gaga. The difference is Taylor is more calculated about her brand and music than GaGa where she is too emotional where she doesn’t need to be.

She’s not standing out like Rihanna’s for instance. I’ll try to be less annoying love love don’t be sweet.

It almost feels like she’s taking the contrary way just to make a point not caring it’s damaging her brand. It’s crazy. Her peers are quiet or doing what they do best. It’s ok to try something new and different musically but with a track here and there in the album. I feel like she’s doing things out of pride and stubbornness.

The type of makeup she’s releasing is not according to her brand. Like Why she’s not targeting LGBTQ audiences? Where are the crazy colors? It’s basic what she’s been releasing come on I don’t even use makeup know this.

Who knew selling a boring pallets with colors from the 50s would bomb when you are known for crazy makeup and colors

She’s been doing all the wrong decisions in my opinion. I know you have a problem with me. Just mute me I don’t mind. I like everybody here even the ones I don’t agree with. ot: I love applause and I love artpop

A ******* FAD FADGA U DESERVE W THIS 50s makeup hate u gon flop hard at everything https://atrl.net/forums/topic/400712-business-insider-former-employees-say-haus-labs-amazon-launch-allegedly-flopped/page/2/#comment-21734446

She’s bored and wants to ruin her career that’s all I can understand from it. I don’t care about makeup but I think like the GP someone like her would release super glam crazy colors and even goth pellets. We get 50s lady makeup.

Yes! She’s ruining her music career.

It’s GaGa’s own fault, she’s insisting with this career path, release a bop and get the streaming numbers

Yes but we deserved more for this artistry streaming ruined everything

The song is a minute too short.

LEGENDS ONLY

Kii

This Love TV is a body of artistry. Hold: my hand

This is better.

R&BGa: #12 - #3 - #1 - #1 - #1 - #7 etc

#82 - OUT

Deserved, pretentious music. LOVER is unbothered and winning. Afterglow is ethereal.
