That would be a cute 15th anniversary project.

I don't dislike cursing in music but singers randomly inserting "fuck" or "bitch" or "shit" or any other expletive in a pop song where it doesn't really call for it is jarring af, trying to sound edgy lol. It happens so much in recent years.

Brown Eyes by DC just came up in my shuffle and I haven't heard it in ages. It's a cute ballad.

The last year of her 30s... I've been following her career for the entirety of my consciousness of popular music and pop culture which is almost since the beginning of her career. What a ride. I feel old even though I'm several years younger than her lol.

Or ya know, we could just focus on the innumerable times where she won and everything fell into place which is the majority of her career. Seriously, sis has had one of the best music careers ever... twice over. I can only name 3 or 4 (maybe 5) pop superstars that have had just as great, if not better on all fronts of a pop career. I don't really get the point of being stuck on minute missteps. Big missteps are okay to analyze because you can't have the highs without the lows but most of the shit the hive complain about these days is high-key petty lol.

1. Harleys In Hawaii 2. Not The End of the World 3. Cry About It Later

Get a mod/admin to do it. I haven't been that into Ellie in a long time so I can't be arsed lol.

Aw Mercy's so cute. I forget that her and David are literal teenagers now. Time flies! And Rocco serving rich middle-aged dad on vacation in Miami.

It's about time

It is! I live for her 90s sophistication and experimentation so much. She doesn't do slow grooves like this anymore. ...and you'll always be my baaaay baAAAAAYYY

Unconsciously: Music. I was like 8 years old and just knew her as the cowgirl lady. Consciously: it was either Hung Up or Lucky Star around 2006. I got into Madonna and a bunch of other 80s music thanks to Vh1, back when the channel was focused on music and those specialized countdown lists and compilations like I <3 the 80s, 100 Greatest..., etc.

Okay! They better party like its 2003.

1. Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel - her wittiest and most lyrical album of the 00s 2. The Emancipation of Mimi - her best vocal album of the 00s 3. Glitter - her best musical album of the 00s 4. Charmbracelet - it's polarizing but it's a grower 5. E=MC² - easily her worst album of the decade

She sounded a bit dry here but I love the musicality. She likely was tired but sis mustered up everything in her for that crescendo in Over the Rainbow.

2. Kiss It Better 3. Love On the Brain 4. Work
