Do you ever feel that you're too old for certain music?
Even though I was only like 18/19 when Midnights was released, it was sooo juvenile. I felt like a middle school girl.

Best tomboy phase of a pop girl?
Aaliyah 100% Also, I wouldn't really consider that Madonna era her tomboy era? I'd say 1987 when she dressed extremely tomboy. Like that time period between True Blue and the Who's That Girl Tour in early 1987 where she had short brunette hair and dressed like a dude every day.

Was Donna Summer the first MPG?
Yup, and it's important to note that Donna still had consistent success after Bad Girls, unlike Cher who went back to tanking after Believe. Plus, Believe came in 1998, so we already had multiple girls with longevity by then.

Was Donna Summer the first MPG?
Yes, that was massive success, especially for a female artist in the 70s. Maybe Olivia Newton John, but I'm not quite sure who came first? Both were far bigger than Cher. Cher's career was mainly misses, with a few hits.

Why was Carson Daily rude towards Mariah?
So true. Her quality of work declined so much between 1999-2002 compared to her previous output. I never got why this was a big deal. When I read that Mariah had a breakdown on TRL and then I saw this video, I was wondering what was the breakdown lol.

Why did ARTPOP flop so bad if it was actually one of her most interesting eras?
Applause sucked as a lead single, even tho it lowkey did end up having some longevity. Honestly, all of her leads have sucked since then. Perfect Illusion (which I actually like), Stupid Love, Disease. It's a shame because her first three lead singles were legendary, bold, and great songs.

Why didn't Billboard count MTV plays towards its charts?
A lot of her peaks shocked me. I know it's because the majority of her singles had limited (or no) commercial releases because Jive was focused on selling albums, but her hits were for sure bigger than the Hot 100 shows. They could've incorporated MTV in like 2001-2005 when single sales died and the Hot 100 basically became the Radio Airplay Chart.

Why didn't Billboard count MTV plays towards its charts?
I've always thought this. Or at least TRL plays. I wasn't alive in the 90s or early 00s, but wasn't TRL voted by the public? Surely they could've somehow incorporated that. But yes, I've always thought it was odd that you could see a music video frequently on MTV, but if radio didn't like the song, it would tank on the Hot 100 (Dirrty, IAS4U).

Which was the beginning of the end of the GP favoring Gaga? Alejandro, BTW or Judas
I def feel like Alejandro affected her. The video was so weird and sexual for literally no reason. BUT, the song was all over the radio, and it peaked at #5 on the Hot 100, so it still succeeded. I wonder how much bigger it could've been with a summer themed music video? Born This Way wasn't "too gay" for the GP. It was everywhere. But, it did fall off pretty quickly. Judas underperformed for the time, but I don't think the controversy really made it to the conscious of the GP. I'm going to vote for Alejandro.
