More iconic and successful collabs: Gaga vs Madonna
Madonna has a habit of bringing out the worst in her collaborators, except maybe Justin. The rest legit s-u-c-k. Gaga has a habit of bringing out the best in her collaborators. It makes me think they must really enjoy working with her.

We don't talk about Black Eyed Peas enough
They really "sold out" with The E.N.D. but they did it SUCCESSFULLY. Even The Beginning had some bops! I will always jam out to Elephunk (Hey Mama, Shut Up are both on regular rotation) and Monkey Business (Pump It, Don't Phunk With My Heart, My Humps, Dum Diddley are all classics), but I won't turn off certain songs from The E.N.D. nor The Beginning when they come on shuffle.

The Fame Monster vs Loud
I honestly stream TFM front to back regularly. Each song is fantastic, including Teeth which is often downplayed within her own fandom. A beautiful, concise record. LOUD is also really good, but the only tracks I ever revisit are Only Girl and S&M. Maybe sometimes Man Down, not very often tho. Aesthetically speaking, LOUD some beautiful MVs but I preferred the eccentricities of TFM.

Best 2016 album: ANTI vs Lemonade vs Joanne
For how much Joanne gets dunked on, it's really not that bad of an album when you cut a few songs out of it. I'm tempted to vote for it just to give it a fighting chance on this dogpiling forum. If I don't go for Joanne tho, it's gonna be Lemonade, the last album of Beyoncé's that I actually appreciated as a whole. It really was quite a moment, even if there was some shady business in the background with Tidal and all that. ANTI is… not in the running. Never got the appeal except for a few songs, especially when it had so much hubbub with the pointless anti diary and the multiple MVs for that godawful lead single.

Is Mayhem TFM II or BTW II?
It's neither. She did a great job of bringing flavours of her past albums and spicing them up with new ones. It's obviously not a sequel to either of these albums, it's an evolution.

Enough time has passed…
"Enough time has passed…" no it has NOT, I try to put as much time and space between me and this song and someone brings it back up every other month. It is a bad song, and a worse single. And an awful feature. The worst in Christina's discography for sure, probably the worst pop girl song of the year it was released.

Madonna's collab felt natural; Gaga's did not. Do you agree?
Gaga and Bruno's voices blend together so well, on a song Bruno wrote for Gaga, for a different project that was being made at the same time as MAYHEM, with the same producer. But that doesn't sound as natural as Madonna slurring drunkenly at Sabrina? Sabrina sounds like she's about to be sacrificed to a heavily medicated vampire.

Taylor's team files DMCA takedowns against fans who posted her wedding invitation
We'd probably get sued if we posted it, knowing that capitalist fan-hating monster, but if you just google "taylor travis wedding invite" it'll probably show up. You won't be sure, cause it's super bland and uninviting, but that's the one. EDIT: Caution, if you google it, you will get put on a government list. Don't worry, you'll still be able to purchase her dozens of variants, you'll just be blackmarked from hearing any quality music output. (The sneaky part of it is that there was never any quality music output).

37 acclaimed, influential, and respected musicians who have never won a Grammy
I saw the title, I saw the poster, and figured "they're probably gonna list that social pariah" and sure enough, there she is, snuck in for sure. No blatantly trivial and painfully specific accomplishments about Katy to post today?

Was Garden of Eden another wasted Gaga lead single?
LOVE Garden of Eden, it SHOULD have been a single, but I don't think it should have been the LEAD single. If anything, I think she should have dropped it with a MV on the release day of the album. Disease made for a fine lead, she was so proud of the craftsmanship put into it. Maybe if she'd released it a little earlier in the month instead of the week before Halloween, it would have clicked better. Although, her unknowing promo single with Bruno was gonna gobble up all the streams still anyways, regardless of what she picked as the proper lead single.
