Edit: this comment was to a completely different thread..

"Kids don't wanna dance" was a bitter lyric imo. Invite them to dance! Isn't the fanbase also upset that she didn't promote it?

Is this a read

these stats are getting confusing lol. Subtle difference of "of" and "in", i guess. What was song received the most streams in 2024?

The appeal of Addison sometimes gives Nicki working with Ice Spice. Meaning Addison is so unthreatening, it doesn't cost a thing to lift her up. That is if you're playing into the zero sum game Tate has the MAGA thing as reason to dislike her, but another is that she does have at least a little talent

Can he stop

You're creating a requirement and then making a judgement based on your own opinion. It's the definition of circular. You're not dealing in reality, you're dealing in Stan brain rot. Gaga is on the song and it's huge, get over it.

I hope so. It's an absolute banger. I came around to it way late and then was playing it like 5x a day

Pretending Gaga has nothing to do with the song's success is so silly. On another note, from a non-sycophantic musician, this quote reads like satire. "I've never worked with a musician who understood chord progressions" Is he trolling? If we were in a less brain dead world this would be commentary / shade on how stars need to do the bare minimum to receive praise

You know what though, who cares? I feel like this is unreasonably looked down upon. I find stanning success is less weird than the parasocial loyalty that's expected of fans. Blockbusters and cultural shifts are exciting. That is a huge part of why Gaga was so cool. She was pushing the envelope AND becoming a household name.

Beyoncés debuts are underrated, except bday. Billie Eilish?

ARTPOP was corny The 5"2 documentary really rubbed me the wrong way… BPD. Her quote about capitalism and art made me completely mistrust her This skincare company sealed the deal But really it was the feeling that she didn't actually care for anything she seemed to care about during TF(M). I thought she had a really interesting perspective on fame and art, but it all started becoming contrived and overly sentimental from artpop on. Chromatica was fine

Pop music will never be low brow

edit Just relistened and reread the lyrics. actually the production is good. Maybe the video killed it for ppl. Was very cringe and gimmicky. Also find the "do the dead dance" portions sound desperate to my ears

Why did u write this thread this way,.. major ick Anyway I guess it's normal, the kids don't know Madonna and the parents are more likely to feed them more clean-cut legacy acts. Learned nothing about Madonna when I was growing up, but MJ, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Bee Gees were always played. Was fun discovering her myself, but it took effort. Album is so good tho

Hört wie Bad an Why only on Spotify?

Mods should ban threads with "why" in them. Probably the worst parts of this website made by the worst, least creative people

U don't see the influence of Xtina on Gaga?… this is embarrassing for stans everywhere

Oh no!

Fragile (III) LES Girl (IV) Love Sensation (II) School (III) Danceteria (II) I guess Act III. The first act is the clear dud for me.

In my 15 years of following this sort of thing, I've never seen such an outlandishly incorrect critic response

This is top tier. Sometimes it's a very good sign when an artist disappoints their fans. She's breaking free and growing out of the space she's already carved out so much success in. 8/10, some of the musical ideas are overly recycled. Sometimes this is cohesive, other times it's unimaginative

Is there one track without the straight duration staccatos lol It sounds monotone because she does the same thing on every song. It's fine if her vocals are tempered, but not if the vocals do the same thing on every track

Watch her drop "Cyrus"
