The Lorde song sounds mediocre and kind of dated? Like if someone told me it was a random girl group from the UK I'd believe it.

Well I'm annoyed that I won't be able to play my Switch until April now but it's good to know it'll be waiting for me when I go home

Sell it on Ebay for a profit, and buy it in April at reg price.

This week, the extra question asked: What was the elusive Touchback's true identity? The results were as follows:

hfpp2Ic.png


While, early on, a lot of voters labeled this poster as a mess, in the end, around 50% agreed they were unaware of his existence. Sadly, it's clear this is a member this comm won't remember.

However, even though every option had its following, a few voters prefered to share their own thoughts on the matter:
a legend like ha fave
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... ask Vazduh
Remember when Touchdown stole some hot guys' identity and catfished POPGAF? LMAOOOO
Catfish, like his first one.
Frankie Grande's Double Dildo Bottom pal.

Do you agree with the results?

I like Green Light the more I repeat it

But I wonder... Lorde was close with Taylor during the 1989 launch. And Green Light strikes me as decidedly Pop moreso than the darker and more hip hop tinged Pure... Do you think Lorde may have taken a step closer to radio bright pop thanks to Taylor's push into it?

Either way, I love the sound of Green Light and looking forward to what Lorde called "cathedral Pop" on her album.

Jack Antonoff co-produced Green Light. No wonder the production slays so hard, Jack is a force of nature TBH. Lena Dunham won.
 
Aww the new lorde is cuTE! Not incredible, but I appreciate ha serving a different sound from the other flops atm. My slight intoxication may be enhancing the experience, but I had it on repeat in my uber and it just worked
this may change during the harsh light of tomorrow
. I agree with the consensus that the pre chorus is the tea. Well done hunny!

Thanks sis! <3
You have the most flawless taste in pop quens!
But I do agrih, POOR Grimes serves a different dimension of iconic messiness. I stan.

Katy's mid career crisis is visually aging her looks

She thought the blonde was her pulling a Prime Gwen Stefani but it was actually a Hillary Clinton

Like she thinks she's pulling a Miley but is actually pulling a 2017 Annie Lennox

I just watched the "Green Light" video and heard it for the first time. It's...okay? The vocals combined with the production create something catchy. I'm sure it'll have some radio success. But I think the chorus could have used someone with a bigger voice. It relies on the production to build, and I think someone with a more powerful voice (especially across a bigger range) could have grown the impact of the chorus and sold it more.

Iggy Azalea - Can't Lose

I'll let ya'll do the comments.


EDIT: Katy Serving Miley

I legit wasn't sure if that first picture was of Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus.

Lorde came... and went. I listened to the song twice, and 30 minutes later I couldn't hum any part of it even if you put a gun to my head. I keep thinking of "Green Light" by Beyoncé instead.

I enjoyed Pure Heroine though, so I'm not giving up just yet.
