  1. he looks like he smells stale. i feel like kissing him would be like kissing a damp cardboard box that's been doused in noxious levels of body spray. i feel like if you ran your fingers through his hair, they would feel oily yet sticky. these are the things this photograph of justin bieber makes me think/feel/experience. i am not thirsty. in fact, i am suffering from the following, due to this photograph: https://www.symptomfind.com/health/water-intoxiaction-dangers-of-overhydration/
  2. if she wants to undo the progress she's made in her public image the past 6 or so years, then sure...she probably shouldn't re-associate herself in any way with predators, even if it's indirect thru nicki
  3. wait you spilled omg. i don't think rain on me is one of her best (i would say maybe babylon can crack her top 25 though) but the other stuff you said..it's like you read my mind
  4. y'all are so harsh toward her i feel..i know she made mean comments about britney but I've seen so many artists get stanned here that ripped on Britney back in the day harder than katy ever did in jest...idk. i think it's fascinating to hear her comments on it. i don't feel like we get to hear people speak candidly after they fall too often, at least from people her stature. i enjoy when we do get to hear it because it's very interesting and endears them to me. also, someone mentioned how gaga apparently didn't victimize herself as much after she flopped, but like gaga also had some glaring differences aka her working with, and defending R Kelly, more or less making a mockery of the victims of his abuse...Katy made disrespectful comments about Britney. definitely one is worse than the other but Britney being our fav is blinding some to that i feel...
  5. i'm indecisive so i'll just put my favorite britney song as it's up there for sure...otherwise the list was gonna be so excessively long lol
  6. i love her this just screams high school dance team she really don't gaf and is just having fun and living her best life i love it
  7. if you mean that those ***** don't have that severe of side effects that people generally seem to think, then yea? I'm familiar with the ***** because tbh i've been prescribed them...and i'm pursuing **** research as a career in college currently so i have a very strong interest in them. britney looks healthy. she looks nervous and unhappy at times, but that's been true since long before the conservatorship ever started. psychiatric ***** aren't poison as people think. antipsychotics are prescribed to literally MILLIONS of people in the world, in the US alone several million people take them. millions of people willingly take them because they help more than they hurt. lord, there's so much weird fear mongering about the fact that brit has mental health issues and, gasp, probably should take medication for them...she lives a high stress life and has had a rough go, lord knows how drugged most people would be if they had to be in her situation. the fact that she manages to work out and maintain her figure and etc tells me she's a lot better off mentally than people think, and whatever she is prescribed probably plays a role in that being the case. in britney's life, i am far more worried about what the people around her put her through than what any medication she takes does to her bc she seems to be coping with it fine physically speaking considering she's near 40 with two kids and looks as in shape as she does...
  8. so personally i hate Chromatica and think it's her worst by far and one of the two fatal flaws for me was the production...i don't think it was good at all. so i'm gonna have to vote no on the bloodpop part lol... but danja would be cool. i want her to work with bloodshy & avant again...i always felt that was her perfect fit. i really would like her to work with new people too though...i want to hear britney in a fresh new sound and something interesting, different. i don't want her to rely on what she's done before alone nor to chase trends, but to go outside of the box and prove she's still got it.
  9. i'm pretty sure we've seen her dosed too heavily on antipsychotics (several periods of her life) and maybe stimulants too (mid decade i think there was some kind of issue involving the **** vyvanse according to news reports, and it could've been why she looked zonked out for years there) but as someone familiar with both of those types of *****: 1. if she works out regularly and is as fit as she is and always has been, the only real serious risk to antipsychotics is movement abnormalities which i think we already see in how stiff/shakey she can be and the facial expressions she tends to hold, the grimacing and lip puckering etc but there are now medications that can help reverse that. the main negative effect of antipsychotics is metabolic syndrome but i don't think that's an issue for brit...a lot of people on those ***** long term are quite overweight in particular. i don't think they've harmed her body or anything like people imply...she looks healthy and in shape. 2. stimulants have very few negative effects on the body long term (especially when compared to fast acting anti-anxiety medications or sleeping medications which can be brutal on the body) when they're used at normal dose ranges. i think we've seen her zonked out but you can be on a totally safe, non damaging amount of adhd medicine and look zonked out badly, but it doesn't mean it's hurting the body or brain. it means it's working too well to bring you down lol. i don't think she's been hurt by that either, assuming it was ever even an issue she had. i would love for her to stop smoking bc it's nasty, reinforces other bad habits, will kill you eventually etc but like i'm not gonna complain about the woman when it's, like others have said, probably one of the few things she's privileged to get. better than drinking alcohol daily at least...
  10. never liked shane or jefree anyway, especially not the latter and the former is kind of creepy and tends to look as though he smells. i bet james is eatin all this UP lol
  11. idk if that's my proper top three but im indecisive as hell. there are like a solid 12-15 songs i could pick and put any of the three and be satisfied, this is just a nice little spread of songs
  12. like: streaming is a god send it's very easy to find expansive communities built around niches now. look at subreddits like popheads or indieheads. pop music is increasingly dissected and respected and i love that. it has far more depth than people give it credit for. i love that artists can go independent now, it's just better for them as artists if they can pull it off. more freedom and less burn out and we get to see more things how they want it, even if it means a little less budget. popular music feels decently diverse right now. not amazingly so, i think it was much more diverse in parts of the 90s and the turn of the millenia, but it's a lot more diverse than it was in say, 1985 or 2010. i think it's going to continue to expand and become more diverse before contracting again into more similar sounds like it has before women in music feel like much more respected figures now. still a long way to go, but female albums can now be the highest selling of the year fairly often which is amazing to me dislike: i am not a fan of most trap/soundcloud rap, mostly because the artists often feel like they're very stunted and following tropes down to a formula, and it gets a bit dreary after a while just like the excess of bland dance music got grating in the years prior to the rise of trap things feel half baked a lot more. singles don't work the same way anymore and album eras feel more sparse. VISUALS ARE NEGLECTED like i don't need choreography on the regular from every artist by any means but i need some stylishness and cool visuals and EFFORT put into it! dua lipa has completely flipped in my opinion by upping her game and being super duper committed to the style and visuals of her (fantastic) album, unlike her first record that was stale af. this applies to album covers and artwork too...give us cool art or photoshoots y'all sometimes music has become excessively nostalgic and referential to the point that it's just...not fun to listen to, especially because it rarely ever actually reminds me of the music it is trying to emulate i hate the tactics used to get songs to number one, AND i really don't like how songs can get to number one and just sit there for a dozen weeks at a time with far more ease than ever before "pop is dead" <-- that phrase makes no sense, is objectively incorrect, and just stinks of "born in the wrong generation" "hate all this trashy rap music garbage" blah blah type garbage, and i'm hearing it uttered regularly online nowadays
  13. wbk the US is a mess but i'm proud of my state! we were one of the most pro-trump states and had the most hated, awful governor in the country up til last november when it flipped to a young democrat. he handled it so well, we've done so well compared to the state surrounding us (excluding WV but that state is very isolated and has like, half our population size with no major cities) despite having one of the absolute most at risk populations (huge rates of lung disease due to smoking still being widespread). they've managed to contain it so one county has 25% of all cases too which is good because the eastern portion of the state (I'm from there) is incredibly poor like some of the poorest in the entire nation, medically underserved like crazy, have very high rates of all risk factors especially lung disease even more than the remainder of the state. our governor has given some really nice reassuring briefings on the situation and gotten memes made about him, and our state apparently was the one with the most approval for how its governor handled the pandemic at least back in May. some memes circulated comparing the response in TN vs here and how much unimaginably worse it is in TN, even accounting for the bigger population, and how we reacted quicker.
  14. it's the bops fa me...bey has em. a shame people think she has a bad discography! who cares if she hasn't had a mainstream solo chart hit in years? neither has brit tbh. doesn't make either of them less legendary, less relevant, less successful, or their discographies less fantastic...they're the two most legendary ladies in music to debut since the soundscan era started, i think they're both untouchable.
  15. what...beyonce was the most rnb on her first record though. she's dabbled in more genres since 2011 than before, during which she was far more heavily r&b & pop. i'm a bit curious about people considering rihanna more "pop" than beyonce..i would say she's less soulful and more aligned to dance music but rihanna hasn't really been that much more pop-oriented than beyonce (both have been pretty pop-oriented up until their more recent releases)
  16. I love Witness. i tend to think it's her best album. Teenage Dream has higher highs but i think it's not as cohesive & has more weak songs. Witness to me was a huge artistic achievement...as a convert to Kathryn Hudson's Holy Church of Witness™, i'll say what i think the issue was. it wasn't music, it was katy herself. i purposely didn't listen to Witness until 2019. i was turned off by katy for a while. it wasn't the britney comments per se though those weren't cute, but like everything katy was saying/doing, when contrasted against who knew her as, was SO off putting. then the album cover, "meaningful pop" or whatever (girl people have made socially conscious popular music for a loooong time..you ain't special, why you announcing it?), etc it all felt like she had gotten big headed and gassed up. i think especially as her peers "fell off", Gaga with Artpop and her messy behavior during that time + the radio ban that affected Warrior & Kesha's subsequent legal proceedings with dr. luke, Katy kind of had the target on her and her alone unless you count Taylor (but she had a different background in music to those three and came earlier), so when she slipped up the public scrutinized her heavily, found things to pick at. same way Britney got built up and torn down just for being big, even though we built her up in the first place. in that sense gaga was spared by falling off earlier...either way, i'm sad everyone has lost interest in Katy tho i think everything she's released post harley's in hawaii has been sleep inducing (and small talk was mediocre too). i've seen ppl say she's followed the trajectory of xtina..i guess gaga is britney & kesha is like...jessica simpson?
  17. a lot of rihanna's music, esp starting with loud up until anti, could have been sung by anyone. some not, but a lot was not at all special to rihanna, she was just riding the wave of anthemic party music. she can't sing very well either, and to be honest...her music just isn't that good on the whole. anti, rated r, good girl gone bad are all good to great, the rest of her albums mediocre, and none of them are amazing. she doesn't have a single album that can touch lemonade, for example, but also none of them can touch Beyonce's self titled album...4 is probably better than 90% of Rihanna's discography, too. It's beyonce, every day of the week, and I'm not even a beyonce stan (she's too popular atm, i'll get into her more when it dies down i think)
  18. i forget that tom's diner exists a lot...heart & girl in the mirror also slip my mind consistently and i always think there is a third track that's not you got it all (i remember that one bc its a bop) when im thinking of how many bonus tracks were on oops! also i feel like ppl either don't know about or readily forget her early career b-sides: I'm So Curious, Walk On By, and Intimidated. i worship those songs and they're all in my top three for each respective album... you think anyone outside of the devoted fanbase would have ever even heard Chaotic? no, and that's a travesty bc that song smacks... but truly the only time i struggle even a little to list off her discography is with the dance tracks from Brillo Jorts...tik tik boom/it should be easy/til its gone (am i forgetting one?) are such a blur to me...for some reason i always remember body ache tho lmfao. i can still list off her discography easily though <3
  19. future nostalgia. way better production, better vocals, way better backing music, thus far better visuals (SL had a mediocre video so..), longer songs that feel more complete and satisfying, way more variety...i think it's much better personally. chromatica is like a 4/10 for me, future nostalgia is like an 8/10. was hyped for chromatica, now less into gaga than ever; did not like dua at all prior to future nostalgia but now find her enthralling to watch. i think FN is just much more cohesive yet also more varied, sounds complete, sounds like it had tons of effort put into it...gaga can do 100x better than chromatica imo. i also don't see a story to it...it feels very loose and like the "story" was an afterthought. i like how uncontrived FN was.
  20. i feel like pride anthems as a concept should be for songs that have nods to being queer, are by queer people, or draw heavily upon queer culture in a celebratory way (vogue, for an example of that last category)..that's just me tho five different flavors of queer
  21. hol' up what? rihanna could pull off p!nk's part in lady marmalade? girl rihanna can barely sing...she's a weaker singer than britney and britney could not do p!nk's part in lady marmalade..it would be sia doing secret vocals for the base with rihanna singing over them like she's done in other songs personally i wouldn't want an outright remake, but a sequel could be great. mya - kali uchis p!nk - lauren jauregui lil kim - doja cat christina - dua lipa
  22. nelly's music has aged SO well imo. she always had a sort of brooding yet **** vibe, and her music was always a little off kilter in my opinion. some of her best that aren't talked about (aka aren't maneater, like a bird, say it right, or promiscuous...). loose is one of my favorite pop albums. i think it encapsulates the 2000s dance-pop genre better than any other album (sorry, In The Zone...). i think she had one of the best combos of musicians that were both very successful and could be taken seriously (i feel like Fergie was hard to take serious often even when she made good music...idk). she also had the benefit of feeling like this was her prime, whereas imo Gwen was prime in the 90s despite her lovely output in the 2000s. i will never understand the delay in putting out another english album, it killed her career...unless it had to do with her fallout with timbaland and not being sure where to go with her sound. i feel like she could've really garnered huge status going forward into the 2010's, maybe slide into a more slick, moody sound like say it right...shame tbh also, idk if anyone else does it but i group popular music into waves. Ms. Nelly is an oddball in that she kind of should've fallen in line with the anti-pop singers like Avril and P!nk based on her time of debut & the folksy sound she had in contrast to the bubblegum from britney, christina, jessica, etc yet after her second album failed she kind of caught the wind of the mid 2000's dance-pop singers wave: Beyonce, Fergie, Gwen, PCD. I feel she and Gwen (maybe not so much Fergie or PCD) could've easily had continued huge status and been contemporary as Beyonce is even if not as critically acclaimed...
  23. i worship Outta This World and You Got It All but also Rock Boy...omg please i would die if we could get her bonus tracks all on spotify. i feel greedy so while we're at it...the joy of pepsi please, spotify release now @ team britney....put the studio version of her cover of burning up too. and give us a release of studio quality versions of the four DWAD tracks she wrote... actually just release her entire recording catalogue that hasn't yet been released, all 506959 songs or however many she's recorded
  24. i like them both but i like the final version..more twinkle-y. i would personally love if musicians would release multiple versions of songs tbh i love that stuff
