OFF ONE STEP AWAY

I am sucker for interludes but this album has too many and they are all boring ISWTG! Also, the sequencing was poor, why do you have the better songs crammed toward the end and have multiple short songs in the beginning idk, the ideas were great but maybe she should have saved the sitting-at-the-fireplace R&B songs for a FEW on this album and pair it with some LOVE bops. Love being expressed in the somber, warm and cozy way is nice but we can express love in so many more ways.

While I agree with this, I think where Victoria falls flat is that she doesn't have an out of this world tone like Sade did. Even if both their vocal rnages are limited, Sade's voice is extremely haunting, powerful and textured. Victoria falls short because most of the songs on the album are arranged and produced in a way that a stronger vocalist would fit perfectly on. Pure R&B requires strong vocals, especially when the songs are arranged that way. She is falling short because her voice is very limited vocally and doesnt pack enough punch. She has some strong songs and many great productions, bgvs and harmony layerings on this album but the lyrics are hit and miss and dont really have a strong narrative. The album is also bloated ugh, lemme try and listen some more and sit with it to appreciate it more.

OFF SCHOOL

Can't believe you bi tches voted out Love Sensation when School was RIGHT THERE!!! SAVE Bizarre OFF School

Strong contenders for both sides of the album but a few other cute gals would like to have a word. I Am… Smash Into You Disappear Hello Halo (got overplayed so I don't love it as much as I used to) Sasha Fierce Sweet Dreams Diva (well no other song comes close to these two)

I dont get why yall HATE Satellites and That's Why You're Beautiful so much?!

Why is School still in the running?

SAVE: Bizarre OFF: School

This whole time the July and March 29th release dates were a coincidence and there was nothing intentional about it.

Cmon OG hive!

Our sis was going through it during the recording of 4 "I'd rather DIE YOUNG than live my life without youuuuu?????" "I was here, I lived I loved" ??? Our sis might have been having some ideations chiiiile.

See how the people come in here LYING on this good Wednesday? Musically, vocally and sonically Rather Die Young is an amazing song!! I do sing it "Cuz I BLANK BANK Young than live my life without youuuuu, I'd rather BLANK BLANK at ALLLL" Cuz those lyrics are giving self depreciating Bird Surpreme honey?!

When the album came out Radio was one of my faves I can't lie Now that I've come to my senses….

Respectable list except for Bday - Irreplaceable is right there. IASF - ????? Radio is right there sis.

Though formulaic and very of its time, Pretty Hurts is a gorgeous song!!! The Music Video is spectacular!!!! Nothing the haters say will make me lose an inch of love for PH. Ha Uh UH!

Tbh this is a very respectful list! JUSTICE for All Up in Your Anus tho, that song grew on me.

Oops I stand corrected, Though Sorry (album version) is a mess, the demo is gorgeous. Sandcastles is truly the worst song on Lemonade

Not too much on these sad ballads.

Imagine an ugly duckling like Superpower trying to sit at the table with the beautiful gals: HAUNTED BLOW ROCKET NO ANGEL PARTITION

Name a song worse than Superpower and please do not mention XO or Pretty Hurts

Yooow why are you reminding me of this looool. The way how in both videos, I really wanted them to fight and got blue balled both times.

39k will be the views after 1 month, when she releases the visuals on YouTube.
