Chlöe really is the Black Tate McRae. Doing a lot with the choreography, without doing anything at all. And instead of reheating Britney's nachos, she was reheating Beyoncé's nachos. She wasn't even born with an "ö" in her name, so she's also a fraud. ...Vin

Oh but this album was a banger. This track was more BRITNEY than anything Addison, the Tate girl, or "MILEY" has ever done: Getting down to nothing, I can see it coming. I have waited for you, so long that I'm turning blue. Spiritual, our connection— Deeper than the ocean. I'm twenty thousand leagues, in heaven under the sea. ...Vin

"Cowboy Carter" is part of Beyoncé's bottom three worst albums. That's why. Speaking of—let's rank! 1. BEYONCÉ 2. Lemonade 3. Renaissance 4. B'Day 5. 4 6. Cowboy Carter 7. Dangerously in Love 8. I Am... Sasha Fierce Damn— my taste really is impeccable. ...Vin

I would like to know, too. I want to know how on Earth is North Koreo even going to turn that money into cash? No one is going to trade them dollars for that stolen crypto, except maybe Russia, but then how will Russia turn that crypto into cash? Where are ATRL's Crypto Bros. We need explanations. Explain in pop terms. Explain it like we're five. ...Vin

Celine Dion lipped this entire performance, even at her vocal peak. I don't mind, though, since now we have a "studio version" with NSYNC. One of two NSYNC songs I like. The second: Only time Timberfake sounded decent and not like a whiny rat. ...Vin

"Scarlet" underperformed (but not really) because Doja Cat "made herself ugly" for the album cycle, and that was overshadowing the album. The female entertainment space wants women to look, at the very least, "feminine"—[mirandapriestly]groundbreaking[/mirandapriestly]. All of the music on "Scarlet" was critically-acclaimed and SMASHED on radio, even "Demons" which was only a promo single with zero push was almost Top 40. In the end, the music and artistry WON with "Scarlet." Doja Cat went full pop singer on "Vie" and FLOPPED. The GP is not here for that. But "Gorgeous" may have probably SMASHED if it was released as the first single, since that sounded like "classic Doja." ...Vin

I want more of this (minus the corny male rapper ruining everything). This song is so f***in' good and Doja is so excellent on this track; she's so diverse and versatile. That's another one of Doja Cat's strengths, her insane versatility. I vividly remember at one point she had about four or five songs on the radio at once (I'm a radio listener) and they all sounded so different and they were all smashing at the same time. I've never heard that done by another artist before or since. ...Vin

Aw, you can tell Doja just watched this and got inspired: Doja will have a "comeback" when she stops trying to be a "singer" and goes back to RAPPING first, and "singing" third (dancing is second). That's why Missy Elliot is SUCH a LEGEND, because she never let her stellar singing overtake her RAPPING. Even though Missy could actually sing, Missy's singing was always backup, a supporting cast member. These new girls—Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Lizzo, Doechii—always want to sing, when their singing talent is waaaaaaay below their rapping talent (except Lizzo—her singing talent matches her rapping talent, it's just that "Love in Real Life" SUCKED). ...Vin

Babe, "When I'm Gone" should have been Katy Perry's comeback single. A better music video (without the corny DJ in it) with better dancing—why does Katy Perry have almost NO bodily rhythm? Makes me think she's bad in bed—and "When I'm Gone" would have been a SMASHING success of a comeback. And Perry's comeback would coincide with Taylor Swift's "Encore" downfall. It would have been SUCH a FUN pop culture time on ATRL. But Katy ruined everything by being a FLOP by CHOOSING to working that other producer and releasing "Woman's World" slop. ...Vin

If you're a pop star who makes pop music but you don't really dance or know how to dance, then THIS is what you DO: What a cool, great performance. And this song is great. —it's what Tinashe THINKS she's doing, but she's doing NOTHING of the sort. ...Vin

Jay Z is a terrible performer and a BORE, BUT he definitely saved the Halftime Shows and he is the ONLY reason that we haven't had a racist country singer or racist rock star as the Halftime performer in almost a decade, especially in Trump's America. We've had Shakira and Jennifer Lopez and Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny and Rihanna because of him, instead of some male corny country star standing in one place for 12 minutes with maybe some shooting flames in the background. We'd have Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley up there if it wasn't for Jay Z. And I like that Jay Z isn't diplomatic or subtle about saying NO! to country or rock (unless you're a person of color). He's very in-your-face about it. All of that being said, Jay Z WILL HAVE the biggest FLOP Halftime Show since Justin Timberlake, probably—it will still be better than Justin Timberlake's show... unless Jay Z actually brings out Justin Timberlake during his show, then that would be even WORSE than JT's show. ...Vin
