what are the highlights
I'll see your Riri fan and raise you a Miley one:
(Don't know about the RIhanna one, but this one IS British)
it looks like The Thing was trying to impersonate justin bieber but got stuck halfway
[edit] seems like robin thicke, roy's some-time fave, is a shameless thief to the tune of $7.3 million. does this strike anybody else as particularly interesting.

It becomes more possible with every passing day. :/
I haven't listened to Rebel Heart yet, I'm scared. My friend who's a HUGE Madonna stan texted me saying everything past Joan Of Arc sucks.
And he loved MDNAYou Know Nothing

Poor hag.
If she would actually try to make good albums instead of shamelessly trend chasing for what all "the kids" are listening to, this wouldn't happen. Or maybe it still would. It just wouldn't be DESERVED.

Madonna's entire career was based on her chasing trends, it just so happens that now she's on 2 year delay, and combined with general ageism, it's a lot more noticeable.
I wonder who the lucky guy will be who will act as Chris Brown
It's a documentary.

I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow plugged that event in somewhere. It was pretty impacting.

Erotica and Ray of Light tho. #notallMadonnaalbers
Lbr, it's gonna be the doc's selling point lol.
When the Rhat talks about Chris = RATINGS! (Oprah, Diane Sawyer)
When the Rhat doesn't talk about Chris = Flop! (777Tour Doc on Fox)
Duh
I've been catching up on her albums (wasn't familiar with her work as a whole for a while) and have listened to Bedtime Stories, ROL, Confessions, Hard Candy, MDNA, and Rebel Heart so far. Really the only great album out of those was ROL, Confessions and Bedtime were just good, Hard Candy was bad, and MDNA and Rebel Heart were really bad. Don't really have much drive to listen to her other albums but I think i'll try Music next. She is a really overrated artist tbh, and like GaGa seems to be known more for her theatrics than actual music.
Have you tried Erotica? It's one of her very very few listenable albums.

Are you okay sis? You've been extra free with your Rihanna comments lately, almost like your stanhood is in jeopardy
Unless you're not up your faves' asses like I am usually........... But I've seen you be kinder to TayTay and Coldplay

Confessions is more than simply good tbh
Ha last great album (probably)

The entire thing. Best album I've heard since Pure Heroine imo.
Pure Heroine is also the last album I was truly [ s h o o k ] by.
Let me listen to Susane again, I guess.
not you actually liking something for a change
at least you picked something worthwhile to stan this time
I stan a lot of things
just not people pop-gaf is particularly interested in
I'm interested. Who do you particularly stan for

Grimes is his ultimate fave IIRC.
I am interested in seeing a list of his Top 5 faves though. Partition is one of my faves even tho he doesn't particularly like me :/
First impressions on Rebel Heart:
I honestly think a lot of you are being just unnecessarily harsh. I'm not a huge Madonna fan but I found a lot of like on this. Anyway, the best tracks are far and away after Joan of Arc:
Overall: Something's changed with the way she sings that I don't like: she comes off whiny and shrill and it's the main reason why some of these tracks lose bopability points (Living for Love). But there's a surprising amount of tracks that remind me of classic Madonna that I love.

Want to Like & Might Change My Mind After a Few Listens:
I'm surprised I don't hate anything after first pass. What I've found is that sure, she's chasing trends, but does she do an admirable job of making that enjoyable? I think so. There's a lot of killer hooks and melodies here that aren't quite complemented with satisfactory verses.

Aguila posted the song already, but here's the official video.

It's one thing to dislike the album, but it's evident the hatred exhibited by some posters is directed towards the woman and not the album. Some of these people would be trashing the album whatever it was.

didn't you once suggest that robyn was the worst scandinavian pop artist though

Did I? Must have been before I knew Tove No existed
For me it's the music. There's not one song on her album that I would add to my personal playlist. Except maybe living for love, I tolerate that.
No it's really that bad, that score is an anomaly, like Skyward Sword's score
well this just cements my expectation that it's half decent
Oh bless *.*
I kinda knew this list. I was expecting something left field you'd never mentioned before lol
I guess we should all make our lists of Top Faves
Rihanna
Coldplay
Kings of Leon
Drake
Kanye West
