I do think she will win the Best Dance Grammy. I think she will get a nomination for AOTY, but not win it. The Grammys has turned into a popularity contest, and there hasn't been enough mainstream attention on this album for that. Keyword: Mainstream, not us Pop fans. That being said, I hope Madonna sweeps with Grammy nominations like she did with VMAs because she deserves it.

Interscope forced Madonna to utilize writing camps while she was signed to them. So this includes MDNA, Rebel Heart, and Madame X. I also think that MDNA and Rebel Heart were Madonna trying to convince everyone, including herself, that she was still relevant while the pop scene was dominated by other artists like Katy, Gaga, Kesha, Nicki, etc. And in that, Madonna wasn't being her authentic self because she was trying to fit in. Madame X is Madonna's middle finger to mainstream pop after the last 2 efforts weren't very successful. Madonna finally returned to Warner records and with that, Confessions II is Madonna finally returning to form by creating music that speaks her story with a sound she wants and enjoys. Stuart Price worked with Madonna for years, so their trust shines in their work. There's a reason she's featuring him in all her performances and promo so far.

Gaga wanted to end the TFM era early so she could release Born This Way as a single. I remember hearing there was evidence that Interscope was preparing to release Monster as the next single. This was also supposed to happen with Boys Boys Boys, but Gaga wanted to release Bad Romance instead. That was a really good call, so that's probably why they let her do it again.

Everyone knows that DWAS wasn't intended for Mayhem. It's very common practice to put a successful single between albums on the next album. It was added as the last song, they weren't trying to fool anyone into thinking it fit on the album. And honestly, no one except stans care.

The first half of the album could've fit right into the BTW era with its electro rock sound. I was surprised that Zombieboy and How Bad Do U Want me sound like The Fame era. Loved it. At this point I don't think we will ever get a TFM II.

I suppose this means Ricky had a girlfriend not too long ago.

Wait. I thought it was because he was ugly? And his curly hair sort of makes him look like a sponge?

I had no idea Ashlee had a Vegas residency until this thread. What? How? I have not heard anyone speak of her except for SNLgate. She aged beautifully. Wow she is gorgeous.

Has there ever been an artist that reached Lizzo's level of success flop this hard with an album release? Did Iggy Azalea even flop this hard? It's partially her label's fault. I can't believe they greenlit an album release with no hype or successful single. Meanwhile you get artists blocked from releasing an album for not having a Top 10 Hot 100 hit. Music industry is so strange sometimes.

Sounds like a very average album track from One of the Boys. The chorus isn't exciting and just sounds like an extension to the verses. I really don't know where she should go from here. Her dance pop isn't sticking anymore. Her rock sound is very average. It worked on the OOTB singles because Max and Luke used their pop magic on the rock sound. This song just sounds like generic emo rock.

If someone lies to me about their relationship status, I end it immediately. Whether we met up or not. If they lie about that, who knows what else they're lying about.. std's, etc. I also believe in karma and that if you're the side piece, at some point your partner will have their own side piece. I have had an instance where the guy's story was questionable.. either claiming an open relationship or that the other person was aware, but something about them didn't have me fully convinced. But it was enough for me to have a clear conscious.
