Earth Ripper

My post was accurate for 2016 obviously Aren't LMs the ones constantly repeating that things change and that the things Gaga said only like, 6 months ago, shouldn't be used against her because she "grew up" or she was a different person or whatever The desperation of quoting someone's post from 4 years ago which was actually spot on at that time. A new low

Oh look. It's LMs getting brave before someone else releases a more exciting project again

I checked the date after sending, I-

The bad taste

Omg this is awesome And hard

That was a placeholder date The latest rumors say July.

The album that proved self-titled wasn't a fluke and Beyoncé had indeed transformed into a bona fide artist. How her haters were shaking in their boots, it was so beautiful

Thanks, dears A little embarrassing re-reading this ngl I had not yet perfected the art of online dragging as I have now Careful, FOTP.

Both for different things Bey for star power, talent and artistic quality and Rihanna for her look/vibe and hits

Why not just age restriction Very stupid. Meanwhile a video like Anaconda isn't even age restricted let alone banned Ready for Madonna's semi-embarrassing but viral worthy meltdown about this

Its Swinefest performance remains one of the best, if not the best, recent performance of hers I get how you could dislike the song, but come on, regardless of your opinion of it, it remains impressive how she managed to inject so much palpable emotion and rage into an EDM party track It's literally what ARTPOP was all about. To go back to Fashion!, I always felt like that was one of her most important tracks from a lyrical perspective, I think it's really intimate and introspective actually Like, these: I take it off, I put it on I feel alive when I transform But this love's

I really don't understand this JND hate bandwagon It has arguably the best instrumental of the whole album, its vibe is unparalleled by any Gaga track out there, and the lyrics are well done and memorable imo Like, why is everyone in love with CLLG but not this? Makes no sense to me, esp. when CLLG's (even though I love it) lyrics are like 1000x more embarrassing and awkward Fashion! is one of the best songs on the album so bye at that Donatella is absolutely mediocre but then the melodies and lyrics are effective and, again, memorable, so also don't get the hate for that Swin

Some amazing sentences there. Glad I read this, thanks a lot for posting

But I already said it's flopping harder.. why does it take so long for you to get that I've long admitted those things omg how boring But like I said earlier: "I just think it's laughable for any LM to take pride in that when their fav is still outdone by that flopping bitch in total"

Like I literally said, to you even, because it's too early still Sure, then I'll be happy to see the CTTR to PI comparisons too Again, I don't care how hard someone is flopping compared to the other, both are underperforming, the end I get that Monsters want to save their pride by underscoring how much more badly Katy('s latest single) is doing (while she's still slaying Gaga overall but anyway) but that's just not interesting to me because CTTR showed Katy can still have a very successful single in this climate Her success does not depend on every single, she has more of a c

There's a difference though. I don't want you/other people to think that the comparison between FFS and MR mattered or something, I just brought it up 'cause I don't think the "country ballads can't smash" theory is right, that doesn't mean I want to talk about FFS and how that comparison might not apply etc. MTN She's been on a downward spiral ever since late 2011 which I think I've mentioned already. It's obvious that Katy's had a similar movement since 2014 but then again, she also had her best performing single ever and her best performing tour ever in that same year, so I don't t

Wtf why are you such a slow reader Of course you didn't say we shouldn't compare BA to anything, that was my argument lmao Whatever, you clearly don't know what's going on in this conversation.

Well, yeah it is, but that wasn't my argument lol, I brought up FFS to counter yours I'm not trying to compare it to anything. Obviously it's harder in general to slay with a ballad, but then she also flopped with so many up tempo dance songs these years that it's just far better imo to assume that people just don't care about her anymore Which is why I find this focus on MR as if it's some shining beacon, some proof of Gaga's enduring relevance, comical. It's just another underperforming single with an underperforming video in another underperforming era Just broke the VEVO record?

BA passed it already now, but anyway, just look at the statistics on YouTube lol, the proof is right there for ya

Did I or did I not literally say that we shouldn't be comparing BA to anything? My argument is that both Gaga and Katy are underperforming according to their standards, but Katy is doing far better overall, which makes it ridiculous for LMs to mock her success when they're enduring 10x worse And that argument stays strong with or without a focus on BA.

Like I said above, that comparison wasn't serious It's ludicrous to compare BA to anything still, it's too early. Compared to an actually successful single, both MR and BA look terrible, that's been my main argument, it's insane to pretend there's such a massive difference between the two, it's like y'all pretending Joanne did so much better than fucking Dangerous Woman of all albums to prove she was still a great album seller (while Bey was selling 2x) MR is not a successful single, esp. in Gaga's discography, and the amounts of promo it had, the end omg this is boring now

Why? After Taylor and Adele's hits and hits like FourFiveSeconds that's a pretty bogus statement to make imo There have been a lot of dance flops these years and a lot of hit ballads. So like I said, that comparison is too vague and unfair. Not you actually trying to compare them like it's serious The point of my comparison was that they're in the same basket performance wise, so if BA is a flop then Gaga's entire era has been (just as much of) a disaster (as Katy's so far) Do you have enough balls to admit that? The quality of a music video matters how, though? People don't

I'm only comparing the two because the OP did On the other hand I don't like this explaining away tactic. Like, you could do that forever. For example: no we can't compare BA to MR because one is a dance song and the other is a ballad blah blah Or, well, Katy released Rise as her comeback single so that really should be compared to PI and CTTR to MR after all etc. It is in actual fact insane to compare MR (which was promoted desperately on huge slots for months) to poor BA that has barely received any yet So if we're gonna follow your logic we should compare just the first two weeks of bot

I don't see how she could combine that with her era demands

Erm, it turned out in a universally bashed acting/directing career, so no that did not turn out great as any Madonna fan/hater oughta know Who the fuck remembers anything Madonna acting related other than maybe Evita (and that only because of the success of Don't Cry for Me Argentina btw) When you have to go to the level of pretending Madonna's more iconic than she actually is just to link that to a similar (and similarly imaginary) [future] success of her copycat, you know someone's desperate holy fucking shit That is some next level hilarity.
