His voice is just so whiny and pathetic. But at the same time, I kinda adore it? I'm not sure what I think yet. The song is good btw.Starboy is cute.
It's funny that this comes out right after I finally get around to listening to BBTM and I realized that I can't do his voice. This song is different tho but in order for me to listen to this album, the beats will have to carry. His voice is so grating....

I agree. It's like on some songs, he is just perfect. Like Nocturnal with Disclosure was so good for him. Absolute perfection. I also loved him on Six Inch with Bey, and pretty much all his features. Tell your friends about it was the standout song for me on BBTM because it was the least whiny, but other songs when it just sounds like the beat is drowned out and he is just isolated on the track, it kills me. I almost immediately have to change the song because I can't do it.
He's not like dvsn or Gallant or Sam Dew etc etc, guys who can sing. Even Gold link and Vince Mensa can hold a tune. Granted they are rappers first but they can hold their. His faux MJ voice is just rough... So rough.
Im hoping this album is more of those beats doing most of the work so he can just stay low tempo on the song without having to raise too much of his already limited octaves.
I miss Katy Perry's singles. They were always fun. There really hasn't been any fun popular dance songs this year though, which is a shame.who remembers katy perry
i was just listening a kp playlist today. it was ok.
I do every week when I listen to Legendary Lovers and/or Walking on Air.who remembers katy perry
The one positive thing I can say about the PI video is that Gaga looks really, really good.
Omg imagine if she brought Florence up for a performance of Hey Girl and then does an immediate segue into Dog Days Are Over? THE WIGS

Remember how Coldplay were the headliners for last year's halftime show? Mhm, neither does anyone else. Now switch Coldplay with Gags in your scenario.

Shut up. 👺Yeah coldplay is better
Coldplay wouldn't have been able to carry that show if it weren't for the supporting acts (who, inevitably, stole the show).
It isn't hard for anyone to top Coldplay.
I bet even an acoustic performance by Barbra Streisand would be more entertaining.
Are you trying to say babs is a talentless bore?
Yes, one is filling out stadiums while the other's last tour was a degree away from being a failure in relative and absolute terms.You're delusional if you think Coldplay and Gaga are anywhere near the same lane in the popular music pantheon. Coldplay wouldn't have been able to carry that show if it weren't for the supporting acts (who, inevitably, stole the show). Hell Gaga even got more buzz last year than Coldplay did. >.<

One era? Lmao.
Born This Way was a commercial and critical success, as was the Born This Way Ball. Come for recent Gaga, whatever, but people need to check their facts. Just cuz you didn't like BTW doesn't mean it flopped.
But the era had legs? The singles didn't give out until the very end with Marry the Night. Both The Edge of Glory and You and I outperformed Judas, EOG peaking at #3 and Y&I at #6. The tour then went on to gross $180m+.Born This Way was the beginning of the end of the GP's fascination with that one trick pony. Novelty dresses will only get you so far when the music is subpar.
But what if one of our faves is Whitney Houston?I was getting my life to Mariah today. Our favs will never.

Stolen language: The Strange Case of Meghan Trainor's Blaccent
A pretty interesting article, coming from MTV of all places! Anyway, if any of you got the time to read it, do it.
(although, to be honest, I'm surprised Iggy Azalea wasn't name-dropped for obvious reasons)
Iggy Azalea would be the more obvious candidate for an article like this, but she's not popular anymore and probably has been talked to death about. I think when it comes to a phrase like Bye Felicia, there's a time where it just become part of the cultural zeitgeist. Now on the topic of Meghan Trainor, I think with the way Twitter and Facebook and social media in general that we are exposed to other cultures far more early than others, resulting in a type of salad mix, being made up of different pieces of cultures. So while it's not typically the type of language you would hear from a white girl, it shouldn't be unexpected if they pick it up from social media. This happens with white boys as well, although they are more stereotyped as choosing to say the n-word. To bring this to a close, I would say that culture is going to be mixed, and it's only going to get more apparent as the years go by.Stolen language: The Strange Case of Meghan Trainor's Blaccent
