Tropico Angel

Ben's melody is the best one she's ever written (apart from the ending)

Performance wise, she peaked in 2012/13. Not every performance was golden but the ones that were good were godly. The voice, her vocal styling, the outfits, the atmosphere, the musical arrangements, etc... were perfection. She'll never top the performances of that era

Funny how she said she doesn’t think it’s fair to comment on Britney’s state of mind then she called her erratic and paranoid in the book 🙃 I don’t think it’s paranoia when people ARE actually out to get you It’s a good thing that she’s such a bad actress and a shit person that everyone I’ve seen doesn’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth. Britney may not even feel the need to say anything because people are dragging her so hard. Little Jamie Lynn trying to cash in on global superstar and pop legend Britney Spears again

I dont think ADIAML sounds inauthentic because she's not keeping all the women she befriends in her life and empowering them. I could be wrong but I think that the album sounds kinda inauthentic because this direction didn't come to her organically. She mentioned that she pushed herself to go in a crazier direction after L+F because of the fans. Maybe after the serious lack of success of that album, she felt pressured to go back to that wilder sound for some success. In my opinion, an artist's work is usually at its best when the sounds and themes come naturally, not by actively trying to do this or that. Because of that, I feel like ADIAML is lacking a lot of depth compared to other albums in her discography (I can't speak on L+F because I've only listen to it once 💀). With songwriters (especially Marina), you can really tell when they’re in their feels about a topic and when they’ve just gone “what should I write about? Maybe this thing. What should I say?”. For example, if you were to listen to happy, you can just tell that the song meant a lot to her and came straight from her heart. There’s a lot of depth and emotion there. Compare that to happy loner and it just seems shallow even though I’m sure that it is still a personal truth for Marina. It’s obviously harder to be imaginative when you’ve plucked an idea out of thin air as opposed to finding inspiration and running with it. I do think this album is a massive step up from L+F and I do enjoy a lot of songs from it. There's just so much untapped potential there

I really like the melody of Happy Loner but I wish it built more as the song progressed. For me, it doesnt really go anywhere. I think it needs some grander elements to it, like numb-esque but a more modern and gentle twist to it. Some more strings and choral elements to bring out the sadness

No?? I hear the higher vocals in the background of the official version

She should've kept the high vocals as the main melody in the chorus of Pink Convertible. The demo vocals with the official instrumental sounds so ethereal. Hopefully someone will filter it and bring the higher vocals to the forefront

Or someone will use my work and have great success, leaving me without the credit I deserve

The summertime sadness remix That's a bad omen

The crazy thing is that she didn’t even know that we’d hear that testimony (?) until right before she did it. It was definitely more impactful to actually hear her voice than just read the quote from a court manuscript. I’m so glad things turned out that way

I actually think it was her testimony about her IUD and stuff that really pushed it into the public eye. After the documentary, I think most people were more angry at how Justin and the media treated her than the conservatorship itself

It’s the first day of the rest of her life and I couldn’t be happier for her. Her resilience and courage is so inspiring. I’m excited to see what she’s going to do next even if it’s just retiring

Beautiful, Swan Song and 24

Justin Bieber (for obvious reasons) and Eminem because I think he’s a weirdo and an asshole

I actually agree with Fantano's review of Blue Banisters

1) Honeymoon 2) Ultraviolence/BTD 3) AKA/Paradise 4) Lust For Life 5) Blue Banisters 6) COCC/NFR

I said her most cohesive - not that it was 100% cohesive at all times in every way. For the record, 24 and HBTB do fit with the album. 24 carries on the theme of time and it has a bold, warm sound that matches other songs such as Salvatore. HBTB has trap elements like Art Deco and it carries on the theme of issues relating to fame and relationships. Plus we all know that Interscope told Lana to make a more radio-friendly track and HBTB is what she came up with. Are UV and Sirens really your favourite albums if you can’t twerk to them?

HM is her most cohesive album aesthetically, sonically, structurally, thematically, etc…

I don’t think she’ll ever meet the standard of BTD, UV and HM again

I know this is jumping the gun but I pray to God that once Britney is free, she’ll help Amanda Bynes in some way. Imagine telling everyone that your father touched himself in front of you and tried to have sex with you when you were a kid and then a judge grants him the title of conservator. Imagine someone stealing your phone, writing embarrassing tweets to make you look crazy and then putting you under a psychiatric hold and not telling you when it’ll end. They take her phone away whenever she tries to tell people about the conservatorship and they drug her. I’m sure there’s heaps more of abuse going on. The similarities between the cases are INSANE. It’s scary to me that everyone is fighting Britney’s corner (as they should) but most people think Amanda deserves the abuse or they just don’t care. A lot of the same people are involved in both conservatorships e.g. Sam Lutfi and even Lou is sticking her nose in. That’s everyone’s first clue that something corrupt is going on

I totally agree. I don’t blame her either though. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to have hundreds of thousands of people send you unnecessary hate on the most insignificant things. It’s like being bullied in high school except your bullies aren’t a few popular kids, it’s a million strangers. It’s not your teenage bullies spreading gossip in class or through dms, instead the gossip is plastered across magazines and news articles. It’s bullying on an immense scale. No wonder so many celebs have ended their lives or had their lives ended by drugs, etc… The highs of the job are extremely high - being praised for what you love to do, being rich, and having people adore you. However, the lows are catastrophically low. I don’t think I could live my life like that. Hopefully, her distancing herself will provide her with some mental stability and the ability to differentiate between hate and genuine criticism

She’s more than likely upset with the reaction to her engagement (or at least that was the last straw). Yesterday she posted that pic of her ass saying “since yall want to talk shit… kiss my ass” and today Sam’s best friend posted “ask Octavia” as a response to this whole #whereisBritney thing. Turns out thousands of people telling you to get a prenup instead of congratulating you isn’t very nice Honestly good for her. She doesn’t deserve all these trolls and socially inept people commenting on her personal life

It’s probably best for her musically too. I don’t vibe with her lyrics when they’re about things that social media has caused, e.g. writing about the media misunderstanding her, using internet slang or virtue signalling due to hate, etc… When she was talking about her revenge and the end clips of Arcadia video, I thought the whole “I don’t give a fuck” thing was her protesting a bit too much. I don’t think she has that attitude deep down. I think she gives too much of a fuck hence why a lot of her lyrics now revolve around the public’s perception of her. Hopefully, she can learn to be unbothered by the masses now that she’s out of the public eye. It must absolutely destroy someone’s mental health

It’s just so horrible. You can tell it’s pissing Britney and Sam off because of Sam and his friends interactions on social media and by using common sense. Why do people think it’s acceptable?? If these dumbasses had even one brain cell, they’d know that Brit had a prenup with Kevin and a prenup with Sam is on the way. She’s not blinded by love. She’s a smart cookie and looks out for her best interests where possible. Commenting “prenup” is the new “is Britney okay”. Just assholes trying to get likes. I hope she knows the real fans aren’t commenting that shit

This morning I was so happy to see that she’s engaged but seeing all of the prenup and “I don’t trust Sam” comments have really put a downer on it for me. Can’t this girl just have a happy moment without the public raining on her parade?? I find funny how these ‘fans’ are fighting for her freedom to make her own decisions yet they’re shitting over the decisions she’s making now. People need to get a life and leave Britney and Sam alone
