I loved the poll! We weren't supposed to vote for a bop this week were we?

Edit, for new page (from Decarabia):

Omg who are all these people

Eek at the reviews for the Chainsmokers album

The Guardian:

If the Chainsmokers know anything, it’s that no one ever died from hearing a chorus too often. It’s why the American duo were the only bulwark against an all-Sheeran UK top 10 last month. This debut doesn’t dare vary their formula: instantly memorable yet completely forgettable music, with all the personality and passion of an invoice. The female singers all sound like a Sia guide vocal for Rihanna; the men mostly simper shallow emo-EDM cliches about failing relationships. Eventually everything sounds the same - the more you hear the less there is to listen to. This is Trump-pop: shallow, always betraying its influences, with a third-grade vocabulary and ambition that runs no further than emptying the nearest wallet.

I've always thought Emily Warren was a bootleg Sia and I'm apparently not the only one

 

[Blood Diamonds]

oh my god asjfjjnasnhfdhsh they got fucking executed

 

[Brhoom]

werq

and you know with dem genes that baby's gonna be fiiiiine as, better keep him away from uncle MJ's lusty hologram

Spill the tea on my genes sis

I'll ignore the part on MJ

Spoiler

Ahh

 

[Soulscribe]

But really though, pop music is a slum right now. We need our superstars to take the reins again.

Holy shit that review!

 

[You Know Nothing]

But the Cha*nsmokers made frat boys have feelings or something. #profound #realart

 

[Decarabia]

Thanks, but yeah you were. I did worry it wasn't explicit enough.

Also whew at some of the salt in the poll.

 

[You Know Nothing]

People actually trying to disparage Godsona 5.

No ma'am.

 

[MANUELF]

Wait someone thinks Im an alt? LOL

 

[Androidsleeps]

Charli's ep is the only ep/lp woth paying attention to this year
this year is shite for pop

Truth.
At first I just liked it, but the more I listen to it the more I LOVE it. 3AM, White Roses & Blame it on You are goat.

BANKS released a new song but it's kinda meh. And tbh her 2nd album turned out to be mostly forgettable compared to her 1st.

Oh well, hope we get some new music from Jessie Ware and Fka Twigs this year. The radio has become unbearable with the steaming garbage dominating the charts, even Katy's new song become tolerable next to the ed shitan and chainsmokers and bruno crap. Which says a lot.

 

[Professor Beef]

I voted in the poll!

 

[Matt_]

Grace Mitchell - Now

I like this
Kinda reminds me of Florrie

 

[Mau ®]

While ya'll stay lamenting Pop's sorry state, I'm enjoying Father John Misty and Arca's new albums. Real music always wins.

 

[Vazduh]

Michelle Branch's new album is a pleasant listen so far.

Nothing Earth-shattering, but lbr, her stuff never was (except for Breathe/Are You Happy Now/All You Wanted/Goodbye To You which are still great pop songs)

 

[Mau ®]

Michelle Branch released an alberm? My 13yo self was profoundly connected to Hotel Paper. Although if I were to revisit it I think I would be shocked at how juvenile and full of platitudes it actually is.

I'll listen to her latest anyway. She'll always have a place in my heart.

 

[The Flop]

Fifth Harmony is performing on DWTS tomorrow for Normani's dance to "Impossible"

The 10's she will get! SLAY GIRL!!!

 

[Vazduh]

I love how Touchdown is mentioned so much in the latest poll :ahh:

His catfishing and alt-identity impact! I C O N

 

[Little Mons†er]

Charli's ep is the only ep/lp woth paying attention to this year

Roll With Me goes AWF!!!

 

[Phreaker]

Thanks, but yeah you were. I did worry it wasn't explicit enough.

Let me go read some responses.

Oh, it was the velvet room song? That's fine. I did listen to the song I put there a lot this week, but I don't think it will be the winner, like last week.

 

[The Flop]

Who would I be an alt of? LOL.

I love it when the guardian drags, their Jessie J review is great

She can certainly sing, albeit in the grandstanding all-talent-and-no-taste style that guarantees a standing ovation on The X Factor. I Miss Her, a ballad dealing with the improbable subject of Alzheimer's, would be infinitely more affecting if she dialled down her performance a bit. Instead, she starts breaking out the melismas after about 20 seconds and goes progressively more bananas from there on in. The effect is distracting, like a heartfelt and tender eulogy being read out by a pantomime dame who keeps flashing her sequined bloomers and shooting fireworks out of her wig.

hdu

I made this gif in 2013... 💀

 

[Garrett Hawke]

why the hell is that gremlin Lorde included at all? She's NOT iconic, Green sucks, she has ZERO vocal range and honestly in the realm of uggos she should be replaced by Grimes who actually makes good music

One of you sucks.

Grimes is iconic, but lorde killed your flop faves in 2013.

 

[rhandino]

Ready for the mess

EDIT: NOT POPsona 5... i am done.

 

[Vazduh]

Q: Was anyone missing? Who would they be? Why? Let me know.

A: Well, you forgot to include some singers with a dick. And I'm not talking O!NK, although you could and should have included him/(XIM? XER? XIT?)

A: Tinashe was missing as Tinasaka Miaflopo, a talented but never seen girl who will probably shoot up the school

omg

I cannot believe Janet the Scammer

Just got big weekend tickets which means I'm going to have the delight of seeing Miss Katy Perry live.
Control your jealousy girls.

[Vazduh]

I hope you have fun, Matt! Also, I hope you get at least tipsy so you can tolerate those live ~vocals~ better.

I love it when the guardian drags, their Jessie J review is great

She really is a shit popstar, isn't she?

 

[Brhoom]

I cannot believe Janet the Scammer

Queen

Who's laughing to the bank now

 

[Matt_]

The Harry Styles song is kinda growing on me

[Little Mons†er]

She really is a shit popstar, isn't she?

any updates on Jessie J?

seems like she came and went into oblivion once Bang Bang hit the charts

poor iT

 

[The Flop]

Touchdown, Tanaka is out. You have a chance. Get your Queen.

 

[Phreaker]

Whoever has been stanning Astrid S - Breathe, thank you. The song is such a bop!

 

[Little Mons†er]

A remix of into the kill by la roux has just come on the mix I am listening to and it still goes fucking awf
Today's indie hews wish they could create such a global crossover

the good sis La Roux released a stella alberm back them

still drunkenly bop to iT

 

[Vazduh]

[Vazduh]

Dolly Style - Bye Bye Bby Boo

The ultimate Swedish guilty pleasure is back!

A midtempo BOP! Serving G.R.L. in their (all too brief) prime.

 

[rhandino]

I cannot believe Janet the Scammer

Mariah should take notes tbh

... but in the other hand it's kind of a terrible thing to do.

 

[whiskeysailor]

Queen Siobhan Donaghy is pregnant! Congrats legend. Her husband is so hot, she won.

(I guess this means MKS really is never gonna happen... oh well, serve us a post baby 'ray of light' instead queen!)

 

[rhandino]

I just listened to Harry new hymn.

These flops from 1D needs to stop trying it with RealMusic™ and instead go for Trump-pop because their attempts are laughable in how boring and basic they are but why would they change that when everyone around them, from fans to their closest ones, are telling them that they are making TrueArt with meaning and shit.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

I try to self-segregate and abstain from posting K-Pop in here, but I will proselytize as much as necessary for these LEGENDS OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGG. A CHILL GROOVE. EXID THA GAWDS

[sigh]

Good for her, I guess. Congrats, Siobhan. I hope at least she makes a solo album one day. All that talent shouldn't go to waste!
