Filthy Pop

Xtina gets no respect around here, but her 1999-2007 run is lowkey unsurpassed in her peer group. Like no one was doing it like her on "Stripped" and this record in the early 2000s !!!! If poptimism was a thing back then, her legacy would be in a lot better shape

As the first major musical misstep in Ariana Grande's career, yes besides "Focus" I guess

Your fave did in 2024

Bc her incompetent team didn't put out physicals on release week

better than anything on the actual album btw

That's not even remotely what I said but I think you know that

It absolutely is our place to question and critique her. She's a public figure who is constantly posting blatant body-checking and pro-ana dog-whistling ballet-core ED content on her social media. Maybe some of y'all aren't in the know or haven't been down the rabbit holes, but this sh*t runs deep. The amount of TikToks I've seen using pics of her as "thinspo" in the past couple of weeks is absolutely disgusting. At this point, it's purposeful. And shame on her for not putting a stop to it. I get that it's a disease, but she needs to go deal with it in private instead of....whatever she's been doing over the past few years.

Get out, get out don't shout I'm gonna have sex for sure

I wonder how Natalie Portman Updates is taking this news

Have to go with "Halo" but "Irreplaceable" also sucks. Pre-4 era Beyonce really doesn't do it for me

Not Christina sporting the BOMT look, mess

Looking back, it is actually nuts how meteoric Gaga's rise was. Less than a year before OP's video she was performing in Ikea parking lots Also, that sketch is awful. Gaga messing up the choreo and Madonna not landing a single joke, hot mess

It's her fault for teasing us with that. Everyone naturally thought that, coming from Folklore/Evermore, she was gonna continue to grow as an artist and actually experiment/take risks. I will NEVER forget the sinking feeling I had when I heard the opening synths of Lavender Haze. We all remember where we were.

Imma keep my mouth shut chile

yk what nvm

Ex-roommate (who I hate) met Gaga at a coffee shop in Malibu

Because this version was better

She won the Oscar (and sold millions of records) for music made less than one decade ago. So the vast majority disagrees with you

Yes

It won't happen cause BYL was a massive BOMB. At least Gaga's gimmick collab worked out for her OT: Mayhem, but it is close. C2 has a lot of interesting stuff going on, I just can't get past the vocal production personally

Something That We're Not goes ridiculously hard

Unfortunately "Do What U Want" is one of the best songs she ever wrote. Not even just melodically; it functions as a sex song but also addresses media scrutiny, her addiction to fame, and obviously the whole thing can be read as a complex trauma response/her working through feelings after experiencing SA. But somehow still so mainstream and palatable for the GP

"I LIGHT THIS CANDUHLLLLllLLLL!!!!!!111!!!!!1"

Maybe the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen
