Testosterone

I won't lie and say I'm a Madonna fan, I've always been indifferent to her music, probably because Hard Candy was my introduction to Madonna and we all know what came after that.. This album is incredible though, Fragile is my song of the year! Welcome back Queen!

Wait isn't Donk a leftover from Self-Titled or was it originally for B'Day and then was reworked for Self-Titled, but still didn't make it?

After hammering Midnight Sun for over a year, I'm finally ready for a new single, it's time for Eurosummer!

Feels like there's a small wave of good will for J-Lo at the moment, announce a (European) tour, before TikTok turns on you again Jenny!

I thought she might do an Instagram post or something on her website on 29/5 as so many people thought the album was coming, but it's just radio silence. Oh it's bad.

No predictions needed, Midnight Sun is the song of the summer!

Her stage presence is off the charts and we will be streaming Bangaranga all summer. A queen, an icon etc. Massively deserved winner!

I feel the same, I was perched after the performance, but the vocals are off and it's just a bit flat in general. Sadly neither I Feel So Free or Bring Your Love are touching Confessions.

BTINH was huge in the UK, the only top 10 from 4. I'm surprised she's paid it dust, if she played this or Listen at a tour date in London, it would go off!

If this was the lyric video then fair enough, but as an actual music video. We're in the pits!

Wow, this is really great. I liked Cardboard Box, I can't believe that was 4 years ago and they are still pushing. Hope this is the big breakthrough for them. No shade, but how have they managed to stay signed all this time, with no hits. 10/20 years ago they would've been dropped ages ago.

Well… at least we can rule him out of AOTY next year. I enjoyed Fine Line and Harry's House and I do admire Harry wanting to try something else and not just carry on with his shtick that worked for him, but this is not it.

Didn't Sabrina say at some point that she doesn't want to do a music video if it's not to a certain standard? basically meaning she doesn't want to make low budget music videos. I can imagine Manchild and Tears MV's were expensive, so the pot is empty. It's obvious label's will only throw money at music video for the lead single, or if a song goes super viral.

Britney's is a complex situation, she clearly is not doing well and hasn't been for a few years, when she finally got out of the conservatorship, I really hoped she would heal and live the rest of her life in peace. It's obvious she has a lot of trauma around doctors, medication and therapy and while I don't agree with someone taking over her estate and forcing her back into work, I do think she clearly needs some sort of help in terms of her mental health and wellbeing being looked after by someone.

Well, it's a better album that all listed (expect Plastic Hearts), so not surprising really.

Eurosummer is gonna be huge in Europe this summer. Let's manifest!

Is there a reason the ***** Better Have My Money music video isn't on YouTube anymore?

Is Beyoncé still at the forefront of pop culture as she was between 2013 - 2016, no. Renaissance and Cowboy Carter have been very divisive with the GP, but she's nowhere near being a legacy act.

She did warn us!

Ooop, Stick With You was one of my faves on Poster Girl!

I agree on Formation, it doesn't work at 30% energy, which is what we got on the CC tour. It's interesting on the US leg of Renaissance tour B was hitting the choreography hard, back up to 70%. So I thought her knee was recovering. I wonder if she re-injured herself or maybe the Renny tour was just too soon and it set her back.

Future Nostalgia is like 11K away from 900K and a 3x platinum cert. S&S and Future Nostalgia were both huge era's. Close this thread.

Kylie's resurgence in the UK since Glastonbury should be studied! Congratulations Queen!

Will this be the first album where every song is made a single, but nothing charts?

Something shifted with Madonna after Hard Candy, her taste level considerably dropped or her care about her career changed. MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X were all varying levels of bad. And sadly the narrative that she just courts controversy and won't act her age has stuck, that combined with bad music is the reason she's no longer relevant and I don't see her having a Kylie style comeback.
