Gaga will be on Jimmy Kimmel this Thursday so you can watch that while you are next to your PC livestreaming her performance on the same night
then she will give the SXSW keynote speech on Friday at 11 am
Its very cloudy here with rain coming and going every other hour, one would be lucky to find any sign of light to brighten their day
but through all the darkness I found a glimmer of hope as I arrived at my home. The pear tree in the back had something I had not seen in months, a flower.
Just one flower among a handful of leaves getting ready to consume the surrounding bare branches that winter had brought.
"Spring is here" I said to myself "the awakening cant be far off," as I entered my castle with a slight smile humming I wanna be that guy

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
thanks for the heads up
Jimmy Kimmel makes me want to vom, but I'll tune in just for my girl Gaga <3

Taylor Swift
2013 Earnings: $39,699,575.60
Physical, digital, touring Taylor Swift, 23, crushed it on pretty much every level in 2013, with merchandising, branding and sponsorships (not factored into her total haul) only upping her stature as a mainstream go-to. Indeed, Swift has hit that sweet-spot demo that captures revenue from every angle. Her album sales are eighth among all of Billboards Money Makers and trail only Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton among country acts. On the digital front, Swift is an elite artist at nearly 10 million downloads, ranking sixth, and shes fifth in streaming royalties, leaving her country peers in the dust.
But where the singer truly shines is in touring, perhaps the best metric of fan passion. Swifts revenue from six months of touring the United States on the global Red Tour tops all of her fellow Money Makers with an estimated take of $30 million. Beyond her take of ticket receipts, the tour boasted three integrated sponsorships (Keds, Elizabeth Arden, Diet Coke) whose estimated cash value is believed to be in the high seven figures, and, at $17 per head in merch sales, Swift stands to bring in an additional $10 million gross.

Justin Timberlake
2013 Earnings: $31,463,297.03
6
Beyoncé
2013 Earnings: $24,429,176.86
Between her nonstop touring and game-changing surprise iTunes album release, Beyonce certainly made the world bow down in 2013. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 617,000 in its first week, fifth studio album Beyonce accounted for 1.3 million of her total 1.6 million in album sales last year. Starting 2013 with the same bang she ended it with, Beyonce, 32, left her fierce imprint on the Super Bowl halftime show before embarking on the 132-date Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. Coming in at No. 8 on Billboards ranking of the top 25 tours of 2013, the trek had grossed $104.4 million, $59 million for the U.S. leg. Beyonces take? $19.9 million.

Rihanna
2013 Earnings: $13,794,186.16
The Barbados-born and -bred singer continued her chart assault with multiple hit singles, all emerging from her first U.S. No. 1 album, the fiery 2012 release "Unapologetic." She kicked off 2013 with Stay, the follow-up to Hot 100 chart-topper Diamonds. Its momentum (reaching No. 3) and that of subsequent singles Pour It Up, Loveeeeeee Song and Right Now helped contribute to $10.9 million in digital song sales. Also cushioning the stars bottom line: her Diamonds Tour. Launched in March 2013, the trek finished at No. 5 on Billboards Top 25 Tours year-end chart, grossing $138 million and netting the 26-year-old a cool $9.3 million for the U.S. leg.

Her brand name still has ways to go before competing with people like Justin or Beyonce, even Taylor. Funny that even though she's one of the most consistent chart toppers of all time, she still isn't even considered to be the most substantial contemporary act right now. When you look at it that way, you can't help but wonder what the missing ingredient is....
EDIT:
FUUUUUCK I almost went to this Austin gay club called Rain tonight (they air Drag Race) and of course the night I decide to stay in LADY FUCKING GAGA shows up. She's there right now being swarmed at the bar. I'm so fucking pissed. UGH.

Are you gonna try and see Gaga?
I feel like it's gonna be a mess at Stubbs with people trying to get in, I'm just gonna avoid it altogether. Her keynote should be a more tame experience.
ahhhh. I had a feeling she would show up at one of the gay clubs sooner or later. I didn't even know they aired Drag Race there, I might check it out next week lol.

How do you mean?
If the list is only for US earnings and stars take around 1/3 of the total gross (based on Bey's numbers) that means Rih earned ~30M from the US which isn't too out there considering she spent the most of the tour abroad

deffo seems like Lana to me?
if so, sounds pretty good, slightly disappointed that it's 'very much more of the same', i feel like she could have done something a lot more exciting with the LDR 'character'.

Yup, seems like Lana to me, there doesn't seem to be any other possible matches with the words "dark" and "psychedelic" tbh
Hmm that sounds more right but it's still really strange that they're only counting US earnings. Tho I doubt that would help her ranking much.

How can you review Lana's album when it's allegedly not even out until May 1st.
PJ is trolling and it's probably Iggy Azalea or Lily Allen

This sounds so basic, so expecting it to smash.

It's probably Lily, no way would our Dalai Lana's album be reviewed so early.

Lana's album has been done for a while a now. Advance listenings for insiders aren't entirely uncommon.
Iggy is releasing her studio album so there isn't a 'last one' to compare it to, and Lily's last album is hardly dark.

FIRO strikes again
legend. [ q w i i n ]
when will your fave ever
firo is unstoppable *weeps*
the blurred out text doesn't fit lily though, it would have to hang below the line because of the y
and there's probably an unfinished/non-final mix version of lana's album ready already

Are you a fellow Austinite? That makes three from POP-GAF if true (unless Marius moved, I dunno)
Yeah I'm still 50-50 on whether I'll be getting in at Stubbs, but I know I won't be able to make the keynote since I have work. I'll be seeing her in July either way so I'm okay about it. I'm mostly pissed that I missed the mayhem last night at Rain. She was dressed down for the Gods and had that blonde giant braid off to one side. She looked adorbs
CHVRCHES covering Team and it's quite good.

Beyonce is synonymous with "staying power." Who else has had such a consistent presentation, style and income flow in the pop scene? She's like the anti-Madonna. Where she and her understudies re-invent themselves once their previous output wears out, Beyonce has stayed true to her own aesthetic since the start. It's kind of remarkable how influential her visual has been across so many facets, and it's because she's never really changed. I guess if you're perfect from the start you don't need to fix what ain't broke.

Agreed on all fronts.
Except one.
That straw-dry, sun-parched, off honey-colored bundle of cobweb-covered fibers from her great-grandmother's dusty wig closet has to go.
Pronto.
I don't use the whole album, but the songs I do use really haven't budged from my current playlists.
Queen Bey, ha power.
I know you're one of the most delusional posters here, but not even you believe this spool of lies... Unless you're further gone than even I think you are.
