Is the series... watchable?The trailers looked corny, but I have a soft spot for the girls.
Episode 1 of s1 is trash. And the youngest speaking kid is horrible. But it's corny as hell and enjoyable. And Kimmy's fiancé/ex and her brother are hot.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Did y'all see Madonna slaying the latest episode of Carpool Karaoke? Wow I think this is the best episode yet!
Nearly 60 and she's still got it. Can your fave say the same? Doubt it.
........I'd like to make a thread but I don't think OT would give a shit and I don't want a flop 1 page thread...

I... might check it out then. Thx!
Yes Juan Pablo Di Pace is hot as hell and Andrea Barber (Kimmy) and Jodie Sweetin (Steph) are great sitcom actresses. Candace Cameron and the two male kids are awful though.
Ontopic: Zara's I Would Like punches a bit
Not surprised about Candace, she was always weak IMHO. Her "crowning" achievement will forever remain this one

I have to disagree but at least we can BOTH agree that both Gaga's and Madge's episodes were better than Mariah's (ugh).
?
Gaga has those Whitney quality vocals and wasn't her recent album the 2nd highest debut for a girl this year just after Beyoncé? The only problem with Gaga's Carpool episode was she sang songs off of Joass.
Not that I'd expect you to know quality vocals with that tragic avatar (ugh).

I don't post much in Pop-GAF but I just wanted to say that comparing Lady Gaga to my girl Whitney is shameful and you should be ashamed. Stop it, get some help.

I'm going to have to agree here. Gaga has a great voice and definitely compares favorably to her pop contemporaries. I'm also a pretty big fan of her and love her live performances. I even like Joanne. But to compare her voice to Whitney Houston's? I'm just confused.
Anyone remembers how did they fall in love with their faves?
For me, It was this video:

I agree if Adele doesn't count
But I still think it's weird to compare her to Whitney. She still has lots of room to grow as a singer.

Christina has the best tone I've ever heard, the one when she isn't screaming, like in Lift Me Up, Say Something, and Save Me From Myself.

Are you one of those Beyonce haters? Beyonce is clearly the correct answer for all your vocal questions.
Beyonce is a great singer, and one of the best of her generation. But, saying her technique is flawless is a misconception. And I think Lady Gaga's technique is better.

I think her and Gaga are comparable currently.
beyonce's still releasing good albums tho so i guess she has that

Comparing Lady Gaga to Whitney and Beyonce?
Saying she's the best among her peers?
Time for the mods to lock this community up.
I mean ignoring the fact that she just released a crappy generic faux-country album that sounds like she made it in a week, with a lead single so annoying and grating even her fans couldn't stomach; at best she's a singer w/good vocals who had her moment years ago...and there's hardly anything special about her voice (unlike, say Xtina in her best days).

"I stand before you as a doormat. Oh, I mean, as a female entertainer. Thank you for acknowledging my ability to continue my career for 34 years in the face of blatant sexism and misogyny and constant bullying and relentless abuse.
People were dying of AIDS everywhere. It wasnt safe to be gay, it wasnt cool to be associated with the gay community. It was 1979 and New York was a very scary place. In the first year I was held at gunpoint, raped on a rooftop with a knife digging into my throat and I had my apartment broken into and robbed so many times I stopped locking the door. In the years that followed, I lost almost every friend I had to AIDS or drugs or gunshots.
In life there is no real safety except for self-belief. I was of course inspired by Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde and Aretha Franklin, but my real muse was David Bowie. He embodied male and female spirit and that suited me just fine. He made me think there were no rules. But I was wrong. There are no rules -- if you're a boy. There are rules if you're a girl.
Among those rules: "If you're a girl, you have to play the game. You're allowed to be pretty and cute and sexy. But dont act too smart. Dont have an opinion that's out of line with the status quo. You are allowed to be objectified by men and dress like a slut, but dont own your sluttiness. And do not, I repeat do not, share your own sexual fantasies with the world. Be what men want you to be, but more importantly, be what women feel comfortable with you being around other men. And finally, do not age. Because to age is a sin. You will be criticized and vilified and definitely not played on the radio."
Eventually I was left alone because I married Sean Penn, and not only would he would bust a cap in your ass, but I was off the market. For a while I was not considered a threat. Years later, divorced and single -- sorry Sean -- I made my Erotica album and my Sex book was released. I remember being the headline of every newspaper and magazine. Everything I read about myself was damning. I was called a whore and a witch. One headline compared me to Satan. I said, 'Wait a minute, isn't Prince running around with fishnets and high heels and lipstick with his butt hanging out?' Yes, he was. But he was a man.
This was the first time I truly understood women do not have the same freedom as men.
I remember wishing I had a female peer I could look to for support. Camille Paglia, the famous feminist writer, said I set women back by objectifying myself sexually. So I thought, 'oh, if you're a feminist, you don't have sexuality, you deny it.' So I said 'fuck it. I'm a different kind of feminist. I'm a bad feminist.'"
I think the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around. Michael is gone. Tupac is gone.
Whitney is gone. Amy Winehouse is gone. David Bowie is gone. But I'm still standing. I'm one of the lucky ones and every day I count my blessings.
What I would like to say to all women here today is this: Women have been so oppressed for so long they believe what men have to say about them. They believe they have to back a man to get the job done. And there are some very good men worth backing, but not because they're men -- because they're worthy. As women, we have to start appreciating our own worth and each other's worth. Seek out strong women to befriend, to align yourself with, to learn from, to collaborate with, to be inspired by, to support, and enlightened by.
It's not so much about receiving this award as it is having this opportunity to stand before you and say thank you. Not only to the people who have loved and supported me along the way, you have no idea...you have no idea how much your support means. But to the doubters and naysayers and everyone who gave me hell and said I could not, that I would not or I must not -- your resistance made me stronger, made me push harder, made me the fighter that I am today. It made me the woman that I am today. So thank you."

Hi.
He's not entirely wrong. Leona shared a pretty interesting pair of videos with me recently that highlighted occasional (usually minor) technical issues Beyoncé has. The same uploader also posted a video of Lady Gaga's vocal development.
She's still a tier above Lady GagaI think her best is still a tier above Lady Gaga's bestbut it's not like the comparison is a total insult either. Certainly not when she's been worse on the same song.

Nobody commented on that Madonna quote Robido c/p'd? That was a great read, thx for posting.
I'm afraid that era has already come.
Also, voted for Floppies. Sorry, Betty Who, Josef Salvat, Tinashe & other floppy faves of mine, but I'd be shocked if any of you truly made it... although you deserve it.
