Convict Christa Pike survives two lethal injection attempts; snores instead
This. These are similar conditions to what happened with Shanda Sharer, too. It's tricky to balance rehabilitation efforts with appropriate punishments, and I think they way mishandled Christa's case. She needs to be in the custody of the state in some way for her and everyone else's safety, and that should never include death. That's just playing God.

MTV finally uploads Madonna's VMA Performance on YT (new edit)
Bring Your Love still a dud this time around, though I do love the song. Danceteria was GENIUS. By the time it was on, I forgot Bring Your Love was even performed. It should have been Troye with Party.

Kelly Rowland's "Ms. Kelly" (2007) is such an underrated pop/R&B record
Kelly's whole discography is ace.

Russian gay couple faces deportation from Switzerland due to perceived lack of danger
I believe the EU generally follows first country of asylum policy (please correct me if I'm wrong). If they had tried to apply for asylum in Germany, for example, Germany could have told them to return to Switzerland and apply there.

Madonna - 'CONFESSIONS II'
Bring Your Love didn't work for me this time around. I liked it much better at Coachella. Troye with Party into Music would have bet fire, I feel. But Danceteria... that was a moment. Loved the staging, the cameos, the costumes. That performance can enter the ranks with Express Yourself and Like a Virgin for me.

Taylor best songwriting is on Lover. Agree?
Lover's only real problem is the sequencing and its extra fat that could have been trimmed. It's so much better than some of the sacred cows people think are untouchable (including 1989).

The saddest thing about Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl is...
Taylor doesn't often wear maximalist pop well, so I think it would be a welcome change, but even if her next project takes a more serious tone, the production isn't the problem. The problem is her lack of quality control. Her lyrics are immature, they don't fit the melody of her songs, she doesn't even sing them well at this point. She puts her pie in the oven and then rips it back out again after ten minutes and then sells it knowing it's undercooked. She needs to care again.
-
Why didn't Madonna have the longevity of Taylor?
Two wildly different eras with the way music is consumed, accessed (not to mention who has access to it), scored, and sold. There's no way to make a proper comparison between Madonna and Taylor because their imperial eras were 30 years apart.

Better songwriter: Björk, Fiona Apple, Joni M, Kate B, Taylor Swift or Tori Amos?
Björk has the best melodies. Joni has the best lyrics. Nobody here is untalented, though. As we should add Carly Simon, Judee Sill, and Donna Summer.
-
Is Taylor's creative downfall intentional?
No, I think it's a quality control issue because she's afraid of not being in the spotlight for more than a month. Taylor is more than capable of writing absolutely gorgeous songs. But for years now, it's like she's going with the first draft and never tweaking anything and sorting out what isn't working. I can't take another song with self-aggrandizing lyrics that don't properly fit the melody. I'd rather have 9 amazing tracks over 50 mediocre ones.

Miley's new album is flopping harder than Katy's 143. What happened?
It's because she has no musical identity and comes across as insincere.
