BlueJeans

See ? Hahaha just kidding. I love the "You got the stuff" bits. Too bad they took those ones out indeed .. On the other hand, the song goes another route without them, more dramatic and longing of a lost person.

That is indeed an unpopular opinion, it seems. I'm so tired of people saying it's almost awful... The demos and studio version are all very good, imo.

Lolita

On one hand, I find it great that she short of built her own universe with the same motives making appearances recurrently; it shows that she has a clear vision of what she likes. On the other hand, I agree that she could explore new themes ...

Well it does seem to be very one dimensional indeed, like they never moved from that spot so I can sort of understand her motives.. Would we have been critical once again ?

NEIN ZEDD !!!!!! Haha no it's not bad..

I think Apple had great products, expensive yes but of good quality and nice design... However, while I know that updates are normal in the industry, I just can't STAND the fact that a product that I paid for can't stay the way it was. Stupid example : I once broke my Macbook and when they repaired it, they installed the new Yosemite update that was available at the time. I did NOT ask for it and this update deleted some applications like the one that allows you to create menus for DVDs, a feature that I used very frequently for various personal projects that were important to me. When I learned that, I was so pissed, and they said "Well nobody does that anymore anyway so.." and I was like "But I don't care, I want the product that I paid for and was satisfied about".

Or a monologue

Then do ! Haha I'm just kidding, but if you or anybody finds a Loner instrumental, I'd be interested !

Hmm too bad, thanks though !

Did any instrumental leak ? Like "Loner" ?

Great ! Now watch her recycle old photoshoots Nah, I'm just kidding, that's great, can't wait to see it/read it !

The guy's zipper/flyer/whatever you call it is open

The way she films herself and flirts with the camera reminds me of her home-made Lizzy Grant music videos

Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. I liked Tropico, too. I felt sometimes that the project lost its rhythm at times with poem readings that were a bit too long imo. But they were necessary for the plot, so... I really enjoyed the start of the third chapter, with the character of John Wayne citing "Why I Love America" over that beautiful music. I still do, actually. And the way in which it transitions to Bel Air is really well done. I love the setting and the golden tones of that bit. I wasn't too fond of the black and white/aliens bit, but I can understand it (sort of )

Just because ... well ... The title has "California", you know (Plus it's actually a beautiful song, imo)

Yeah and maybe the colour of the dress .. In any case, I can't even believe that such a topic title now exists on LB

Hmm, she looks tired (I don't know if it's the lighting or the makeup or both..) but her hair is gorgeous !

You knooooooow !

Oh crap, she's coming to Belgium, but I never do festivals.. :/

Well... After this morning's terrorist attacks in Zaventemn, I think the show will be cancelled

Wait wait wait ... Let's discuss this ! (I'm delicious ) The Impossible : smooth RnB Jam... The Impossible (The Reprise) : even smoother, more mellow, chill ... Angel (The Prelude) : now THIS.... This is other worldly. Say what you want about Mariah but please don't say that she's not an artist. WHO can do that ? I don't listen to it very often, but it's just a fantastic composition, she's a genius. AC : A bit "basic" (typical We Belong Together clone, finger snapping ballad) but it's a nice song Languishing (The Interlude) : a return to sources. Quite honest and raw. IWTKWLI : not her best cover but it's definitely a nice one. Lambs often say that Memoirs is a bland and uninspired album. I get their criticism, actually I thought so, too : you can definitely hear that it was composed by the same people : her, The Dream and what not.. So there's not a lot of diveristy. But it's a very strong album. - Betcha Gon Know is beautiful, imo and a very cool album opener - Obsessed : hittt - HATEU : poignant love song, a bit overproduced but beautiful (the MV on the other hand ..... haha) - Candy Bling : Smooth ear candy, à la Mariah. - Ribbon : at first, I found it messy, but it's such a fun song when you get used to it ! - Inseparable : nothing special per se, but I remember it being one of my fav of the album ! - Standing O : this sounds like something that could have been given to Rihanna. I think it could have been a good single. - It's a Wrap : love it ! I needed her to dip a bit in her jazz side ! - Up out my Face : fun song and the remix ft. Nicki Minaj is even funnier. Too bad they had that stupid beef ... - Up out my Face (The Reprise) : I don't know her. - More than Just Friends : I needed time to get used to it, but it's a fun and fresh song. And the rest, I talked about, a bit higher. I think it's a very homogeneous body of work. My only criticism would be : the odd track listing (Why would you squeeze Obsessed after BGK and HATEU ?) and the artwork .. Rainbow is another album that often gets dragged by fans but apart from X-Girlfriend and How Much, which sound dated as f, and "Did I do that" which is down right unlistenable, the album is full of great songs : - Heartbreaker : awesome pop record. And the text is so eloquent, just read it ! And the remix is fiyah ! - Can't take that away from me : a true anthem. One of my favorite uplifting MC songs. - Bliss : I'll applaud that for the same reasons as "Angels Cry - The prelude" mentioned above, aka the artistic composition. Apart from that, doesn't do much for me. - Vulnerability : good interlude, but a bit of a filler, imo. - Against all Odds : great cover ! - Crybaby : I jammed so hard to this one ! Great RnB track... - Petals : one of her rawest songs. The text is so poignant and revealing. - Thank God I Found You : her least deserving #1, imo, but it's not bad at all. I Prefer the Stargate Radio Edit. And the "Make it Last" remix is a masterpiece in the hip hop domain. I'm so tired so I don't even know if my post makes sense, I'll go sleep now...

Thank you, I always find it funny when people say that Paradise sucks when it was such an exciting record for (dare I say) everyone, with the Tumblr snippets we had, the nice snippet video she posted ... It's okay to find later records more mature but don't act like you hated the EP. We now you jammed to the mentioned songs. *See right through you like you're bathing in Windex*

i'm really wondering if security will be strict about cameras. Cause my phone can't record more than 10 minutes of video (-_____-) Audio is another story ...

I can't believe that next week I'll be listening to her live for the very first time... Actually, I'm don't believe it. I won't believe it until the show is done !
