Tropico Angel

Wasn’t boasting - just explaining that a lot of people who aren’t from America don’t know about the book because they aren’t American. Its not geographically limited knowledge BUT you do have a better chance at having that knowledge if you live in America hence why the same question keeps getting asked

If someone didn’t have any prior knowledge of the book, it would be a common reaction NOT to google “what are American classics, standards, etc...” because what is considered a classic (for example) to some isn’t considered a classic to all. It’s relative and would give no definite info on what songs Lana plans to cover. So why would anyone think googling it (if you don’t know about the songbook) would help? I know you did but not everyone would think it to be helpful so you can’t blame them. Your attitude didn’t offend me. I just thought it was unnecessarily rude and snarky. The person who answered me first was very nice and polite and gave me all the info I wanted. Then for some reason you came along going “CLeaRly OnLy I cAn USe GoOglE” when the question had already been answered sufficiently. Could’ve been polite but if you want to act like a brat then that’s your prerogative. Also, why would anyone go through 39 pages of a forum to look for the answer to a question that MAY have been asked when they could just ask it right here? It’s a natural thing to just ask. I’ve explained why a lot of people wouldn’t think to research in my first paragraph so of course people would ask. You’re under no obligation to answer so you could’ve just ignored it. As for what gives us a “free pass” to just pop in and ask, this is the lanaboards, not the takeitdoenboards. We can do whatever we want even if you’ve got a problem with it. We’re allowed to ask questions regardless of “how much research” we do. For all I know, Lana could’ve specified what she planned on covering in later posts and I just missed it so I’m allowed to ask

The attitude? A tad too much. Please excuse that non Americans don’t have intrinsic knowledge about some weird ass American songbook. It’s not like Lana said I’m releasing an album of American standards and classics from the Great American Songbook (not that I saw anyways). We could google what that is. She didn’t so what tf were we supposed to google?

Can someone explain to me (a non American) what tf an American standard or classic is with an example if possible?? When I think of an American classic, I think Sweet Home Alabama or Freebird. Basically, anything and everything by Lynyrd Skynryd, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, etc... I can’t really envision Lana releasing an album with songs like that so could someone pls explain

I already said I believe mood ring and the pics were from her, but not Glory 2020. I explained why the money doesn’t matter in my answer to someone else. It makes Jaime look brilliant. If he can successfully manage his daughters career during all the “Britney’s crazy” “is Britney okay” “she being held against her will” “ she’s a clone”, then he can do anything. The success of Glory 2020 paints her team in a good light. That’s no good to Brits situation. Also, you can’t tell me Brit wouldn’t be straight in her social media getting excited because Glory 2020 sold out and went number 1 if she supported it. But she wasn’t. She hopped straight on there for mood ring but not Glory. That’s suspicious af

I think is where a lot of the misunderstanding is concerning “boycott Glory”. We know that the profit is negligible - that’s not why we’re saying to boycott the album. It’s because (as predicted) Jaime has used this success in court to defend himself. ”Whether working with or without a co-conservator, Mr Spears has performed his job well. This is not an opinion” ”He has revived her career” ”He should be commended, not suspended” - All quotes from Jamie’s attorney in court No good has come to Britney because of this re-release. Also, this might just be me being pessimistic but I think you definitely can blame anyone who accepted the album. It could be fine and great but it could be extremely detrimental so why risk it? Brit’s always said that she doesn’t mind if people illegally download her music so why not do that just in case? Why risk helping her father maintain his abusive conservatorship when you didn’t have to?

How did she confirm she supported Glory 2020 (not just mood ring - the whole album)? We know from her court records that, from 2018, Baby One More Mark manages all of her social media which surprise surprise Jaime is in charge of. There have been no videos of Brit talking about how excited she was Glory 2020 (as far as I’ve seen) - only text posts. Because of all this, I’m skeptical of any and all social media announcements. In The Zone stuff was posted to her social media too which made it look like she loved it when she didn’t. If she confirmed it on her social media, how can we trust it? Also, another reason I don’t believe that she was involved with this is because of the “giving thanks” section on the back. She personally thanks Lou, Larry and Tristar. That makes no sense to me. She’s thanking her “stalker” employees and the company stealing her money that is run by her abusive father whom she hasn’t spoken to since August and has a restraining order against her sons? Why would she do that? We only got mood ring and those album pics because we nagged and nagged. They didn’t do it just because (hence the by demand). I can totally see how she was excited about those things but Glory 2020? I’m not so sure. With everything that’s going on, I just really don’t see how she had any say in this This is just my opinion tho. Obviously I don’t know everything

And Numb, The Outsider, Valley Of The Dolls, Buy The Stars, Living Dead, End Of The Earth, etc... tells those tracks to fuck off. TFJ and Froot single choices were (more or less) a serve, I’ll give u that. BUT the other albums’ single choices?? It’s a big fat no from me

I’ve always thought that her singles weren’t the best tracks from her albums so I have a lot of hope. From some of the other snippets we’ve heard, there are some absolute gems on the new album. Also, after everything that happened with L+F, I’d imagine that her record company (or possibly Marina herself) feels more comfortable going with safe single options. More radio friendly, easy on the ears and mind, and less boundary pushing, ya know? A smooth transition into her new album, I guess

It’s alright. Definitely not bad. Not even in the same league as her older songs tho (creatively anyway)

As long as she was singing live, yeah

We’re allowed to critic her as long as it’s justified and not derogatory. Doesn’t make us worse than 2012 critics

I know it’s not the end of the world or anything. I’m just confused. Like why did she chose to lipsync such an easy performance?? Call me crazy but when we heard that she was performing live, I expected her to be performing live. I’m not hating on her or anything but she has so much raw talent and singing is literally her job so idk why she made the choices she made. It’s just so disappointing

That’s what makes it even worse. She could’ve absolutely smashed it but she chose not to bother

At the end of the day, she’s a singer - not a performer. She should sing. Just because everyone else isn’t singing live, doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t. She’s more than capable of singing this song fairly easily, she wasn’t singing in front of an audience, she had more than one take, etc... There’s no excuse for lip syncing here. Personally, I wanted a performance like this and I imagine that a lot of other fans wanted it too

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a singer to sing live but that’s just me

Yeah but lip syncing a prerecorded performance? That was a choice... She’s got such a beautiful voice and it’s not exactly a difficult song for her to sing. Imagine if she performed LMLYLAW like this tho. This is what I’m thirsty for

She looked cute. Wish she was singing live though

I’d be super happy if she spruces up LMLYLAW like she spruced up Cherry live. Extra instruments, extra iconic vocals

I think if the paradise version included the “dark niiiighhhhtttttt” backing vocal then it’d definitely prefer that version. It’s a deal breaker for me

Can we talk about Glory 2020 and the conservatorship for a sec without getting all pedantic and rude? I know some Britney fans don’t think there’s an ulterior motive concerning this rerelease and I just want to ask why you think that if you’ve read her court records (especially her recent ones). Not hating or judging or anything because we all clearly care about her. I’m just curious and I want to see both sides so if someone could explain a little then I’d be very grateful ?

I always thought one of the lyrics was “oh dear diary, I met a boy, he made my girl part light up with joy” - as in he gets her horny or he was good in bed or something. Was super shocked to find out that it’s not the right lyric

I’m obsessed with Lolita but I’m not a massive fan of the final production. I prefer the demos. I wish we got a live studio version of the version she performed back in 2012 because this is MAGIC ✨

I think it’s just because of her attitude tbh. From what I’ve seen, she doesn’t give af and will always say what she’s thinking and I suppose it just rubs people the wrong way
