Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni Megathread | Baldoni to pay Lively's legal fees
Alright, let's break this down. Plastic surgery? Since when is that a crime? It's her body, her face—are we really going to judge her for that? It's one of the most common things in Hollywood. And now, 'what she did to get famous'—let's not play naive. It's clear she's referring to casting couch situations. So, does that make her a bad person? Does that somehow diminish her worth as a person? Since when does sexuality define someone's character? If we're going to criticize something, let's at least use reasonable arguments.

Can someone explain to me the ranks?
There is 14 ranks, is there a thread with all of them? And explaining the reputation system? I can't find it. I'm dumb.

Can someone explain to me the ranks?
What are all the ranks? And how does the reputation system works? I would be very grateful.

Is Sabrina's sexy-comedy shtick going to run dry like Katy Perry's?
That's a lie. Katy is taller, with curves. She fits beauty standards way more than Sabrina, who has more of a "small" body.

Katy Perry branded 'unforgivable' with 'zero empathy' as she sues 85-year-old veteran
First, the nuns and now, a sick veteran. I don't know if it's lack of "empathy" or simply just picking the worst possible owners.

Is Sabrina's sexy-comedy shtick going to run dry like Katy Perry's?
I actually don't think she relies that much on sex appeal? It's more like a new wave feminism, inspired by the "50s era" of glamour. Women, by nature, will always be seen as sexual, it doesn't matter if you're billie ellish or lady gaga. Especially if you're a celebrity. What matters here is that she has her own brand, visuals, energy.

Was X-Tina ever really on Britney Spears' level?
Uhm, a little bit? She was pretty popular wolrdwide in the mid to late 2000s, which was also the time of Britney's downfall. Did her name ever hold as much as power as Britney did? Obviously not. Was her music ever as popular as Britney's? For sure.

Sabrina Carpenter - "Taste"
She's giving us pure pop perfection: timeless vintage allure, coquette charm, feminine elegance, and that luxe fashion statement. It's not about the drama over boys—it's about celebrating sisterhood and making up with your hot best friend. Life goals, tiktokgirls will buy this.

Normani
The more R&B-leaning songs are the standout tracks, while 'Taking Time' feels too poppy for her dark vocal tone, and 'Candy Panty' highlights her monotone delivery due to minimal singing. Despite these issues, the rest of the album is solid with excellent production. Overall, it's a good debut, heading in the right direction.

Who's the best performer from the Gen Z pop girls?
The definition of a good performer can vary, but personally, I found Billie Eilish truly captivating because of her stage presence and charisma. Rihanna serves as another great example of what it takes to connect with an audience. While she may not consistently excel in singing or dancing, her undeniable stage presence ensures she commands attention every moment she's performing.

Normani - "Candy Paint"
Rihanna actually makes this song good. Maybe it's really Normani and her boring tone of voice.

Name an artist you tried but STILL can't get the hype?
Ah, and I can't overlook the two big names: Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. Ariana's style just doesn't resonate with me; none of her songs have ever managed to grab me beyond a couple of listens. As for Lady Gaga, she's undeniably a pop icon, from her groundbreaking debut onward, but for some reason, her music is a tough sell for me. That said, do I recognize their immense popularity? Absolutely. Ariana possesses a stunning, high-pitched voice paired with infectious melodies, and Lady Gaga is a true polymath in the realm of music. So, while they might not be my cup of tea, I acknowledge that their appeal is more about personal taste than a lack of understanding of their widespread acclaim.

Name an artist you tried but STILL can't get the hype?
Billie's debut music definitely hits the mark, but it's hard to ignore the heavy influence from the wave XXXTentacion created. Personally, I've struggled to connect with her music or relate to her lyrics. Dua Lipa seems tailor-made for radio success, but there's something lacking in her performances and style that fails to captivate me. Rosalia has a distinct image, yet there's an aspect of her artistry that doesn't quite resonate with me. It could be the production, her vocal tone, or the sometimes overt use of Latina culture. Charli XCX undeniably crafts fantastic electro-pop tunes, and some of her beats are downright infectious. However, her sound falls into a niche that doesn't align with my personal taste. Now, this might sound controversial, but many of the new Black "pop" artists don't strike a chord with me, from Tinashe to Normani to Chloe to Tyle. Similarly, the latest crop of white pop singers, like Ava Max, Kim Petras, and Sabrina Carpenter, often come across as forgettable to me. To truly catch my attention, an artist needs a solid image and a personality that shines through, sometimes even more than their music itself.

Doja Cat - "Demons"
It sounds like a tik-tok hit and I mean that in a good way.

Colleen Ballinger (aka Miranda Sings) posts response video
The worst part is that the song is kind of good

Demi Lovato - "Cool for the Summer (Rock Version)"
I'm not into this type of music but this sound rlly fits her.
-
Doja Cat - "Attention"
The chorus is really bad. But the verses are pretty good, I wish she would've gone with a full rap song or at least, a chorus with more punch.

Why is Blackout compared to Loose and FutureSex/LoveSounds so much?
For some reason, I thought you guys were talking about Nelly, the rapper, and I was so confused. Anyway. Britney tends to go with the flow of what's popular, and honestly, I don't think that's a bad thing. She's the ultimate pop singer, after all. So, it's no surprise that her album "Blackout" shows some influence from the electronic R&B sound that was hot at the time.

Lauren Jauregui "Fifth Harmony Doesn't Pay Rent"
For what purpose? Renting an apartment in New York? Or perhaps a massive house in Los Angeles? I am confident that they still receive higher compensation compared to the average individual.

Taylor: "Did I dodge a bullet or did I just lose the love my life" on Matt Healy
Even though I personally don't care much for Matt Healy, he seems to align better with her preferences compared to her ex, who was incredibly dull. Her usual type tends to be men who are white, affluent, well-known, British, and often possess a hint of a bad-boy reputation.
