Lady Gaga, the queen of musical metamorphosis, has always kept us on our toes with her ever-evolving style. But lately, there's been some buzz about her revisiting that light, bubbly pop vibe from her early days, like in "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I can Say)." With Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" stirring up nostalgia, maybe it's time for Gaga to serve us a similar dose of light pop and feel-good tunes. After all, who wouldn't want to bask in the sunshine of her upbeat melodies once again? So, do we want this lighter, more whimsical Gaga to make a comeback?

Share your least favorite song by your favorite artist. Here's mine from Taylor Swift. What's yours?

Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor Hung Up, Get Together, Sorry Britney - Blackout Gimme More, Piece of Me, Radar

Of the pop girls Nicki has collabed with who did she have chemistry with the most? Ariana Madonna Beyonce Rihanna Britney

I know it has something to do with catalogue sales but I don't know how to explain the phenomenon properly, can someone fill me in? It's also interesting that most of these old releases come from 2014 to 2017, like a small piece of music history frozen in time.

What are your fav songs?

Do you even know the album is out? And I listen to entire the album and yes, all the good songs are the first three singles and the rest are mid-tempo messed. And not Beyoncé, Ariana and Sabrina blocked her all the way up to the day album is releases. Love me some Dua but this album/era is non-eventful.

In general not limited to your fave(s). The best: For the worst I have some thoughts but I'll wait for others to see if it is the right choice.

Imagine Adele releases her new album this year and next year's Grammy voters having to choose between Adele, Taylor and Bey. Who would win? 👀 The absolute chaos this forum would be in.

The oud at the beginning The string section at 04:56 The transition to the outro That extra synth at 06:50 Our current crop of pop stars needs to start LEARNING. Where are the 7-minute opuses???

I'll start: Paradis - French Deep House duo, dropped the best album ever in 2016 and has been gone since

Why is this so addictive and she's serving sex goddess in the video Too bad this was 2003 and urban pop was dominating, but at least it still reached #7 in the UK (should've been a #1 hit tbh) The whole album is amazing too btw

Today's update: #89 (-21). Illusion #117 (-38). Training Season #155 (-74). Houdini Huge decreases on a random Wednesday update, with no album bomb. What happened? Did something shift in the alrogithm? Did someone try to sabotage her before the album release?

All my friends are embryonic All my friends are dead and gone All my friends are microscopic All my friends wake up alone Girl germs eat your little virus Revolution come and die Will you lead us into virus Sleep with me, wake up alive You can try to suck me dry But there's nothing left to suck Just you try to hold me down Come on, try to shut me up Step and fetch, grease my hips I don't even have to part I don't really miss God But I sure miss Santa Claus

The different upload dates where some artists release things on Wednesday and the rest of the "bigger" releases usually get posted on Fridays is so confusing to track. Did any indie pop lesser known girls or music of that nature come out today? Post them!

The photoshoots for the TV of 1989 are so simple and boring compared to the original album with the polaroid 1989 TV versus the original album photoshoots I didn't include Bad Blood cause it ruined the theme of the single covers

Which song or single has a title that is ironic, given circumstances surrounding the track or artist, looking back now? The obvious for me is: Was on track to be a record breaking 6th #1 from Teenage Dream... but it literally was the one that got away, peaking at #3.

In this thread I ask you, do you know of times when an artist (or producer/composer involved) mentioned a song by name as inspiration for a song of theirs? For example, Britney Spears referred to "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman as inspiration for her song "Just Like Me". Other examples: Shaggy naming "...Baby One More Time" by Britney as inspiration for his song "It Wasn't Me". will.i.am calling "Toxic" by Britney a life-changing song, that led to the creation of "Don't Phunk With My Heart" by The Black Eyed Peas. Meghan Trainor saying she wanted her song "No" to sound like "Overprotected" by Britney. Lorde revealing the chorus of her song "Hold No Grudge" was made using "Toxic" by Britney.
