Hold up! You "liked" a personal attack against me. In my eyes, that's the same as you attacking me yourself. I don't feel sorry if you were offended by the generalization I made after the personal attack was made against me.

I don't know anything about Lana Del Rey. Take my advice. Getting unreleased or yet to be released music from one of your favorite artists is not worth the risk of being fined, incarcerated, or sued. Just wait. If it's never released, then it's never released. You aren't going to die if you don't hear every single song from your favorite artist. You're probably not even going to care about them 10 years from now. Several years ago I had an interview for a job with a government agency that wasn't even a law enforcement position. After the interview, they had me answer questions about my current and past activities. One of the questions asked me if I had ever illegally obtained music. I answered truthfully that I did as a teenager. If I had lied, I don't know if the truth would have come out in the polygraph they were going to give me or when speaking to acquaintances during the background investigation. I don't know if my answer disqualified me or if I didn't do well enough in the interview, but I didn't get the job. One organization has said that there is a good chance they will not hire someone who has illegally obtained copyrighted material.

If she wants you to get it for free, then she will give it to you for free. If she wants to sell it to you, then she will sell it to you. If it's no longer officially available, then it's no longer officially available. Our moral compasses are all in different places. Ethics are not an absolute thing. I have no dirty conscience over my comments about her appearance.

You're still adding to the demand for leaked music, and a lot of other people are not going to purchase the music when it's made officially available. I didn't look at Jennifer Lawrence's leaked pictures, and I used to have a major crush on her. I thought about looking for them, but then I felt icky.

I am the authorities, but you're probably out of my jurisdiction. I don't care to notify anyone. Just remember that when you attack me for saying something you don't like that I didn't take part in leaking Charli's music.

I believe that marijuana should be decriminalized because drug enforcement does more harm than good. It would be better off to deal with drug abuse socially and psychologically than legally. Drug use is not as natural as sex. Marijuana is not all that harmful as long as people don't operate machinery while high, but cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and the other highly-processed and designer drugs are far from being natural. Even though opium can be used close to its natural form, it's also very harmful. Yet, the first sentence debunks what people are saying - - that I only care about Charli's body. If you download a leaked song that is going to be sold or could have been sold, you are doing harm. That means you won't be buying the song when it's officially available. You might not think that some of the songs will be sold, but someone leaked songs that Charli was thinking about shopping to other artists. Even if Charli has no plans to make a song available, it is unethical to invade her privacy by obtaining a song she doesn't want leaked. You're also providing a market for the leaked music. People wouldn't leak music if they didn't get some kind of monetary or personal gratification. That is not Fair Use. Fair Use is when you reproduce someone's intellectual property for educational, parody, or commentary purposes. You're so violent.

If you're going to set the bar for creepiness that low, then yes, all of that stuff is creepy too. I didn't attack anyone about their obsessive behavior until they started attacking me. I don't make sexual comments about half of the videos and pictures posted. Saying "almost every time" is a gross exaggeration. If you truly thought I was being creepy, then you would have lost respect for me a long time ago.

I have a good memory. I didn't read this thread to collect information on the posters; I just remember it. Every time you personally attack me, be prepared to have the mirror thrown in your face. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Not only is obtaining someone's intellectual property through unofficial channels unethical, it's also illegal. Did Charli receive any money when any of you purchased (or obtained for free) her stuff through unofficial channels? I don't care how much you paid for it; you stole from her. That's not what I said; that's what you read. I wouldn't pay to go to one of Charli's shows just to see her panties. I can watch porn at home for free. How did I invade Charli's privacy? I've never seen her in person and didn't hack into anyone's stuff. Legally, a person does not have an expectation of privacy when they show their underwear and body parts in public. They're out there for everyone to see. Do you expect everyone to close their eyes? Voyeurism is getting sexual satisfaction from fantasizing about or actually spying on someone engaged in a private, sexual act. Seeing Charli flash her underwear in public is not voyeurism.

It's cool that you're an artist. I've remixed songs in the past. It's when people spend several hours a week doing a combination of obsessive things for a celebrity or anyone is when it gets creepy. I'm assuming that most of you are Americans. This is a general statement, but most Americans are bizarre in that they will tolerate large amounts of violence and substance abuse, but turn into Puritans when it comes to something as natural as sex and the human body. If it weren't for sexual attraction, none of us would be here. I'm not going to apologize for being an open person when it comes to verbally expressing what everyone thinks, but I will tone down the sexual rhetoric since it makes the virgin ears so uncomfortable. Note to self: Singing about skipping school, getting high, and getting drunk = fun. Talking about sex and body parts = sexist. As if Charli never got angry over fans leaking her songs... I read this whole thread before I joined to get more background information on Charli. You just insulted every new member who decided to research this whole thread. I don't like to ask for stuff that's already been discussed, so I do my research. Taking screenshots of what I post on other websites is beyond creepy, but I'm over it.

Who would send her a letter about her tits? That WOULD be creepy. Normal guys don't write women letters about their breasts; they look at them and make passing comments. 10% of the first comments on the BTR video are about her rack and butt. That's just the way it is.

I have never known anyone in real life who does most of the things I've seen in this thread. It's an eye-opener. When I was in middle school, I knew tween girls who would post N'SYNC pictures all over their walls and probably faint if they got backstage passes, but that's it. I might be older than all of you, but I'm still in my 20s. I have no children and am not married. Most of my posts are not about Charli's looks. Most of my posts are either about her music or responses to one of your personal attacks. In your world, every Charli XCX fan is gay, but this is not reality.

You're wrong. I personally know a few straight guys who have been to one of her shows. If anything is creepy, it's how obsessive most of you are hunting down people for unreleased music and not caring about leaking songs she doesn't want leaked, spending so much time creating fan-made album covers, drawing pictures of her, spending hours searching the web for her vinyls, obsessively typing out lyrics for old ass songs, sending her gifts and letters, posting a master list of her songs over and over again, regularly checking for songs that she's registered, going out of your way to try to meet her, and obsessing over how your iTunes library looks and is organized. Charli doesn't have to worry about me hunting her down, and I haven't sent her shit. If recognizing that she has big ass nipples when she isn't wearing a bra (or is wearing a see-through bra) makes me creepy, then so be it.

Why do you think straight men go to her shows? They go for the panty flashing and bouncing boobs. She might think that's creepy, but that's what every straight guy is paying attention to. I'm sad that I missed seeing her during her short skirt and tight shirt days. She has silver dollar nipples! But seriously, her breasts are going to start sagging.

I know I'm the only straight guy here; but, because I'm bored, I'm going to rank Charli's top 5 videos in terms of sexiness. 1. Break the Rules - Plenty of T&A. 2. What I Like - She's extra cute in this video and she's jumping around in her underwear. Need I say more. 3. Take My Hand - She said she wasn't trying to be sexy in this video. I don't believe it. 4. SuperLove 5. You (Ha Ha Ha) Honorable Mentions: Her booty in "Boom Clap" and tits in "Cloud Aura."

Charli doing choreography. I don't get that from "So Far Away." I get it more from "What I Like," but I like that song too.

Caught in the Middle > Famous > I Need Your Love >>>>>>>>>> Sucker. Sucker is intolerable. Those are some of my favorites, but it's probably because I like hip hop.

I Need Your Love, Caught in the Middle, and Famous are good and better than Boom Clap and Break the Rules. Sucker blows. It might even be worse than BTR. I guess I can hear a little of a punk influence in I Need Your Love, Sucker and Gold Coins, but I'm getting more of a New Wave and 80s r&b/pop vibe from Famous and Caught in the Middle. I skip Black Roses, You're the One, How Can I, and Lock You Up. I can only take You (Ha Ha Ha) in small doses. She looks hot in the video though.

Then, there was that time someone brought drama from the Lady Gaga forum. That was entertaining.

I read the whole thread a few months ago. There was once an argument so bad that the thread had to be shut down. This was long before I joined, but people like to act like I'm the only one who starts arguments.

I thought SuperLove wasn't going to be on Sucker. Did I miss something?

It looks like a special someone won't be enjoying that album in October. Charli's excuse doesn't make sense, but the pushback of the album does. Charli is just using PR-speak. October is too late to capitalize off of the success of "Boom Clap." She needed a boost from a second single; otherwise, she would still be releasing Sucker based on "Boom Clap's" popularity in October. I don't see "Boom Clap" as so popular that it is overshadowing "Break the Rules." "Fancy" was still huge when "Black Widow" was released, but it easily replaced it on the radio because it was a decent second single. I think the record label is freaking out because "Break the Rules" is not picking up steam. If Charli does not get a hit by December, Sucker is going to flop because "Boom Clap" will be really old by then. If employees of her record label had anything to do with choosing "Break the Rules" as the lead single, heads need to roll. Anyone with a modicum of taste in music wouldn't have chosen that song. Y'all can defend it until the cows come home, but unless it is going to be a sleeper hit, it is a failure.

Was she trying to twerk?

Charli's boobs look huge in that 8th picture. I also see a nipple print. Here is a clearer video of Icky performing "Beg for It." The song starts at 1:25. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVnUqqb_m2k

Good for you. Those who won't like Sucker will get enjoyment from another artist's album.

Artists can change up their style and still make quality music. There is high quality music and low quality music across genres and subgenres. Some people don't like BTR because of the style change, but others don't like it because it's just plain terrible. Yes, these are opinions. If you like the song, continue to play it. No one is stopping you. Opinions on the quality of the song aren't going to be changed by arguing.
