We know by a fact, this forum is full of gays (duh), but we're not so sure of the real age of the members. We constantly see threads about Britney vs Xtina, Gaga vs Katy, and that indicates people living in the past, but not an specific age range. This isn't official, but since there's nothing close to it, I wanted to make an overall poll here in Base (which I think it's the bussiest section of the forum) to give an idea of an "approximate census" (it can mean anything though...) and see what's the ATRLers' average age. Also... according to your experience here, what do you think is ATRLer's average age? Feel free to participate quickly.

Both unashamedly 2011-sounding albums, with Ester Dean-penned music and lots of rejects and demos floating.

Which of these global collaborations by Ms. Lipa do you prefer?

These are Nelly Furtado's only 2 #1 singles on the European Hot 100 (Maneater and Say It Right peaked at #2). Both were massive singles globally but failed to make an impact in the United States. But which one do you prefer? Which one is more of a classic? Which one had better lyrics?

IMO: 1. Hair 2. Telephone 3. Perfect Illusion 4. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich 5. Fun Tonight 6. MANiCURE

IMO: 1. Sexxx Dreams 2. Judas 3. Speechless 4. John Wayne 5. Poker Face 6. Rain on Me

IMO: 1. 911 2. Bloody Mary 3. ARTPOP 4. Sinner’s Prayer 5. Teeth 6. Money Honey

IMO: 1. Sour Candy 2. Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) 3. Boys Boys Boys 4. Donatella 5. Hey Girl

Which album do you prefer? I really like both albums. I was listening to Holy **** for the first time today and OMG, its a really good album. Love that pop/punk/rock music is returning. But if I need to choose one I would go with Love Sux. Pop/punk perfection.

IMO: 1. Dance in the Dark 2. Americano 3. Dancin’ In Circles 4. Free Woman 5. Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) 6. Jewels n’ Drugs

Disclaimer: This thread contains only factual, relevantly sourced and cited information. Cardi has made no secret of being a lifetime member of and repping the notorious street gang, the Bloods. Some of the crimes they commit include, but are not limited to: The Bloods have a particularly violent "initiation" process all aspiring members must ungergo, including but not limited to: Cutting and slashing innocent victims Theft & robbery Being "jumped" or beaten Gang r*pe Sexual initiation by other gang members Source: Listverse In 2018 GQ interview, Cardi reiterated her affiliation with the Blood Gang stating: In 2020, Cardi B's long time & heavily pregnant best friend, Star Brim, was charged in an NYC Bloods Gang Roundup. Brim is the head of a particularly violent subset of the Blood Gang, called 5-9 Brims. She is charged with slashing a person and participating in a racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors say Brim is the highest-ranking female member of the 5-9 Brims, also known as "Godmother." Female members of the gang who do not report to other gang officials are required to report to her. In addition to those charges, she was also charged in an indictment by the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn. Star Brim ordered gang members bash two strip club bartenders who "disrespected" a fellow Blood, but she didn't think it was vicious enough. Two weeks later, it is alleged Cardi B herself went back and assaulted the women, one of whom she thought had sex with her husband. Source: NBCNewYork Below: Cardi shows her love and support for fellow violent gang member, Brim. Below: Cardi B defends her fellow violent gang member, Brim after her arrest. During rapper 6ix9ine's trial, reports referenced that he had named Cardi B as being affiliated with the Trey Bloods Gang, which she corrected, stating it was actually "Brim", not 9 Trey: However, this was a misreporting of what 6ix9ine actually said. In his testimony given in Manhattan federal court, 6ix9ine was asked by defence attorney Alex Huot if he “knew” Cardi B was a member of the Bloods. Complex reports the rapper replied: “Correct.” The relevant passage of his testimony saw him asked if he had joined the Bloods “specifically to advance [his] music career”, to which he agreed with. Cardi was then referred to as a Blood and someone who had featured other members of the gang in her music videos. Source: NME Aside from Cardi B's past homophobia, transphobia & racism, how do you think Cardi has been able to generally evade this affiliation without repercussion? Do you believe this is someone that should be platformed? If so, why?

So, the ex-Disney Channel trinity released throughout their careers these albums which are sonically different from the rest, and although Miley had a smash with Malibu and Selena and Demi had their most acclaimed projects to date, the sales didn't match their previous releases. Miley came with a sweet country album after two controversial eras (Bangerz and Dead Petz), Demi with a rock album that kinda revisits their old music, but much heavier and darker with a complete different persona from the previous era, and Selena tried new sounds and made music on a different language with her Revelación EP. Which project is your favorite and why? Who did it better at doing something different, despite chart success, in your opinion?

Which do you prefer?

Apparently both are coming out tonight. Which one will be more successful?

I think it's safe to say that these are the 5 biggest Spanish hits globally this year from the MPGs of the Latin world. Which is your favorite smash?
