Fine wine? I'm getting hints of sour grapes and I think it's corked.

I can see the thread titles now. "Legendary Lover still killing it, why?" "The One That Got Away still Spotify Global top 100!" And not a single goddamn mention of anything from the trilogy.

… WHAT?!

Chapter 1 was definitely better! But I've been getting into a few tracks from Ch 2, mostly Don't Answer the Door, All the Vilest Things, and None of the Suns. I've basically SCRATCHED a few tracks from my library (Front Towards Enemy, The Arsonist, and the new track You Can't Die Young) which I would have never considered doing for Ch 1, which I love front to back, up and down 😂

Why does she have to commit to one? She has managed to make the music she likes to make, which is more rah-rah stuff that her fans like, with mild success, and also put out ballads for the GP that they enjoy. She's been doing this for a hot minute now, why does she have to commit to one side or the other now?

I don't understand what was so iconic about Britney coming out with a snake. I haven't watched it in a while cause I don't even like that song very much, but am I missing something? Gaga bleeding to death on stage while singing Paparazzi was such a craaaazy moment, just absolutely stunning.

I like hearing that little bit of sing-talking / rapping style Gaga would use back then, but Garden of Eden had so much potential to be a full blown hit if she'd released it before Coachella. It's honestly in the top 3 of MAYHEM with the first two tracks. Great song, tho I am so bored of this "reheated nachos" narrative.

I fully agree with this. She is GAGA, that is what she is known for (Poker Face, Bad Romance, Judas, Abracadabra), that is what her fans want from her, even when it's her more LADY-esque, AC-friendly ballad-y songs (Shallow, ARUTW, DWAS) that take off with the GP. She needs to maintain BOTH to keep relevant, and she definitely knows how to walk that line with STYLE.

… duh? Like, it's a newer (more popular, more successful) song vs a 16 year old song, I don't understand the purpose of this thread. Really scraping the barrel tryna find 1. reasons to boost Katy's (s)old catalogue 2. drag Gaga's relevant and still-growing catalogue.

They can't handle the thought of both Shallow AND Die With a Smile being so GArGAntuan, it breaks their snivelling narratives. OT: Yes Billieeee, yes Gagaaa! Yes Bruno too, he and Gaga made that magic together!

I'm sure the untouchable goddess image she and her fans have pushed for the past two decades doesn't help.

I don't think Miley is a legend yet, I think she's still kinda struggling to find her place in the popscape, but I will definitely applaud her for trying different things to make it. She brings something to the table, but it's never anything super unique or outstanding.

It gives me Madonna Confessions II with the distorted drunk vocals, but better. I hope it takes off, honestly, I want another fun ballsy Miley era.

"If you want me meet me at Electric Chapel… if you wanna steal my heart away, meet me meet me baby in a safe place."

I like Miley's music a lot, even when it flops a bit like her last album. I also like Katy's music, mostly her (s)old catalogue, not so much her new stuff. I hope Miley's new album deliverssss. If Miley flops harder than 143 with this, I can't imagine how insufferable Kats Rats will become (and they're already too much).
