My opinion on:
 
Lady GaGa ~ Artpop:
 
I used to love her. Back in 2008-2009. Revolutionary, creative, innovative, controversial, "original", omni-present.
Now? She's a self-crowned queen with an army of identity-less fags behind her, and she keeps speaking big of her generic-ass music.
Her third album and it's already a "comeback"? Bye girl, bye.
 
Britney Spears ~ Blackout 2.0: It Gets Urbaner And Also More Spearitual And A Little More Personal (Raw) (We’re Just Having Lots Of Lunches Right Now):
 
I'm ready for that. I'm still waiting to the day she may be able to dance properly again, though I don't expect her to sing haha. Brit was my favorite singer back when I was 4. She was really important in my gateway to music. Now, I know her music is vain and shallow, and hollow, but she's fun, and she's the only artist who's really loyal to performance music. She makes show music, and she doesn't say stuff like "MY MUSIC IS REVOLUTIONARY, AND HELPS PEOPLE AGAINST BULLYING, YOU KNOW, IF U SEEK AMY TALKS ABOUT THE CRUELTY IN TODAY'S DISCRIMINATION AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY, THAT'S WHY I BAKE PIES IN THE VIDEO". She just makes fun and catchy music. And her videos are, almost, always amazing.
 
Beyoncé ~ x ghetto diva empowerment album:
 
Whatever this woman does, she does it right. My body is ready for her all the time.
 
Katy Perry ~ Prism:
 
Everytime I talk about her people get mad. But I can't help it. If Prism follows up Teenage Dream and Roar's decay, I think I won't ever listen to her again. I found out about Katy when Ur SO Gay came out, before I Kissed a Girl. Her first album, so pin-up ish, One Of The Boys, was SO amazing, her voice was concrete and admirable. Her live performances sucked (and I think they still do) but she had really nice songs, which felt really personal (except for a couple). Teenage Dream was half enjoyable, but she was in this bonehaid persona mode to illustrate a teenager teenage dream, and that persona swallowed her. She was unbearable at interviews and stuff. The Complete Confection proved she's an idiot. "Oh I was so in love, owell".
I hope Prism will sound more like her origins. If not, I'm out.
 
Forehead-anna ~ shit:
 
Who's that? Oh yeah, that poor beat-up girl whose videos and music all sound and look the same. She could die and I wouldn't notice it.
 
 
 
 
What I'm REALLY craving and unbearably urging to hear?
 
Lorde ~ Pure Heroine
London Grammar ~ If You Wait
Sky Ferreira ~ Whatevernameshemightputheralbum
Charli XCX ~ Album 2
M.I.A. ~ Matangi (supposedly due out November 5th.)
Yelle ~ 3rd Album
Owen Pallett ~  In Conflict
Lykke Li ~ 3rd Album
Natalia Kills ~ Trouble
Grimes ~ 4th album
Brooke Candy ~ Freaky Princess
Sophie Ellis-Bextor ~ Wanderlust
Róisín Murphy ~ Eternally Awaited comeback
Azealia Banks ~ ?
Kerli ~ Bubblegoth/Utopia/I Nimene
La Roux ~ ?
Foxes ~ ?

I feel personally victimized by Ariana Grande

Christ, I feel the same way.
 
I think her discography is terribly overrated and overhyped, and her "saving grace" -- her ability to perform and put on a show -- really isn't all that great as it's been made out to be. She is NOT the female Michael Jackson, imo. While she is a great technical performer; hitting every mark, every note, carrying herself with the "perfect" amount of sass, etc, it all seems very calculated, and not at all genuine. Every move she makes seems so deliberate, the way she moves her body (not sure how to describe it, she's technically doing the moves correctly but doesn't move like an actual dancer), her voice, although brilliant, can be so affected in its delivery, portraying perfect amount of pain, the perfect amount of playfulness, the perfect amount of forcefulness. Perfect, perfect, perfect. I don't know. Her interactions with her fans and banter while on stage seem so insincere, right down to the way she smiles, throws her head back and laughs, and that single tear that falls as she looks off into the distance while performing something that "moves her". It's as though there's something kind of robotic that's holding her back. It's as though her fixation on her image and appearing a certain way transcends to the stage and effects her delivery. I just can't get into it, as much as I want to and as talented as she undoubtedly is. I've just never once gotten the impression that she gets truly lost in her performances. 
 
I feel like Britney at her peak, Freddie Mercury, two very different artists from one another -- are those on par with MJ for putting on a great fucking performance. Beyonce doesn't deserve to have her name mentioned in the same sentence as him. 
 
I touched a bit on her legendary, iconic status here. Basically, her team marketed her as a ~legend~ and ~iconic~; these were not bestowed upon her through the usual means of time passing and retrospection as they ought to be be. Funny how carefully worded press releases, demands for media outlets, and certain marketing can give someone a title and status that should only be earned in time and not as a hungry grab for a crown the public never set upon their head, if that makes any sense. 
 
ANYWAY, I said a lot more than I was meaning to and I only popped in here to mention a couple of op-ed pieces I feel hit the nail on the end in regards to both Beyonce's and Rihanna's career. The first touches on what @@elllipsis mentioned about her lack of notable songs despite her supposed status in music...
 
Beyonce: An Icon Who's Struggled to Make Iconic Music?
 
AND
 
Like She's the Only Girl in the World: The improbable, unstoppable success of Rihanna
  -- Choice quote:
          "Mariah, Whitney, Beyoncé, Gaga—these stars feel like stars. Rihanna feels like something else: a one hit-wonder several dozen times over."
 
(What is this accuracy? What a succinct way of putting it.) 

THE ALBUM HAS A NAME AND A DATE AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 

 
CONFIRMED FOR SEPTEMBER 30TH I AM AT FULL MAST

It's kind of refreshing to find an artist who I don't have to dedicate an hour a week to re-organizing because of their humongous discography.

All she needs is to hope a pap filmed her walking out with the pepsi, than she can just use that to make the Cola video, with vintage clips off of youtube, and Cola will finally be released. 

I'm telling you, it explains everything.
I'd put out before  dinner to see it because, well, Barrie.
 
 
 

Guys this channel uploaded her entire set in LA!
 
I'll have another live album if you're getting as into collecting her concerts as I am (lbr no one is)
 
Buzzcut Season, which is so good and only falls short to Ribs:
 

 
Still Sane, which isn't that impressive:
 

Some really nice covers that I found~

Yes
 
 
 
Do you own any large animals (horses, livestock, etc)

I'M SLAYED.

o lawd i would maybe pay money to see that

There's a piece of the chorus that leaked...it better have a mind melting breakdown or it'll be blah

Is the snippet even real? If it is then it's kinda meh.

PS. Anyone caught voting for Lady Gaga to 'FLOP FLOP FLOP' will receive a permanent ban from the forum.
