Funny thing is that I was actually enjoying Wait way more than Glow. I might have to just listen to her discography on shuffle and see if something clicks.
But that would slay!
An album full of Man Downs, No Love Allowed and Whats My Names *.*
No "You Da Ones" tho

Nnnnn. God Rihanna on social media, just a swarmy mess, I love it.
Speaking of, where the #NAVY at? Coz ya'll sure haven't voted much. :/
Danity Kane - Rhythm of Love
It's a certified B O P.
Death at Shannon and Aubrey having their name written in full caps lock, while Dawn's in regular case. Team Jones said it best - Shadity Kane, lmao
As good as she is, she had no chance against Jessus Ware, tbh.

I've been meaning to listen to this, but I really don't like Up We Go after I listened to it for a bit.
That one was probably my least favorite song on the album. Give the album a chance when you have the time, I'm sure you won't regret it.
Ya'll probably already saw this but Taylor Swift's shirt: http://imgur.com/gallery/SPWWg

Rihanna and Jessie Ware are still competing for your votes! Help ensure that one of them stays on the winners bracket by sending me a PM with your choice! It's still anyone's game so make it count, lovers. <3

Sounds like most of C2C, which is really disappointing because when she mellows down, she sounds sooo good on it.

I need Mumei to listen to Cheek to Cheek and give us a formal review of Gaga's vocals, as well as a comparison between her skillset and some other pop girls.
I wasn't here for Anything Goes, that's for sure.
It's interesting because while she tends to peak at Eb5 and E5 in terms of sounding comfortable/pushing it in live performances of Edge of Glory or Marry the Night, she's sounding shouty on C5s but at the same time, had a great sustained G#4. Maybe it's the live audio or she's just overcompensating to prove she can sing, thus affecting her consistency.

I can't even understand what purpose C2C is supposed to serve. Most of Gags fanbase is too scared to venture into jazz territory to begin with, and the rest seem to be put off by Tony -- which, to be fair, isn't entirely unreasonable. He absolutely earned his place, but this is the sort of 'last gasp' that tarnishes a legacy.
There are so many wonderful jazz vocalists, both classic and current, and hundreds of albums covering these standards; why would a person want to listen to this one over another?

What the hell at the final version of Rhythm of Love? Such a piss poor bass!? It might as well not be there. It's like somebody put a filter over it.
It's a far cry from how punching it sounded in the live recordings. The epic intro is also absent.

She's retreating after the onslaught of media backlash and instead of harnessing that no-b.s., resilient attitude that made her intriguing in her debut (which she completely softened up during BTW), she's going "back to her roots" because she used to love performing Jazz music growing up. I really don't understand it either, because as a "multi-faceted" singer, she should be able to release something like this as a secondary pillar to your artistry and not just jump from one to the next just because your pop pedestal is showing signs of wear and tear.I can't even understand what purpose C2C is supposed to serve.

She once said, "I don't separate music as different things, so when I perform Country as opposed to Dance, I don't think of it as "Oh, she wants to be a Country singer now". Music is music." And now she's acting like pop music itself destroyed her and that Jazz is her only real, sincere, genuine savior. It's becoming off putting.

Because people wanna see Lady Gaga try on new hats I guess. It just seems like a therapeutic venture for Gaga artistically and doesn't look like it's a huge investment for the label(s) so she got some free reign on it. So I suppose most of the "purpose" comes from Gaga's desire to sing jazz rather than thinking about its appeal to the audience.
Also, cross-over appeal is always good business sense. Gaga's making herself available to new demographics that wouldn't give a shit about her otherwise. Builds her cred as a singer, refocuses people's attention to her talent instead of antics, a perfect setup for a huge pop comeback album.
I wish Gaga would have done something akin to Back to Basics (pop infused with jazz/blues) rather than going pure jazz.
The one girl I want to try some jazz on the side is Lana. I mean:

That doesn't really sound like she's singing Jazz at all, other than Jazz arrangements backing her vocal.
More importantly Skirt is now available on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/skirt-ep/id922153019?ign-mpt=uo=4

Well Y&B was originally a pop ballad and the other song is more soul, but I hear more jazz potential for Lana in those two songs than I've heard from the few songs I could stand from C2C :x
finally C2C has a purpose
Her voice sounds great, let me give the rest of the album a listen.

My favorites are Cheek to Cheek, Nature Boy, Bang Bang and Firefly.
Ain't that the truth.
I like her rendition of Orange Colored Sky and even Someone to Watch Over Me. But other than Lush Life, I've yet to hear anything that really grabs me.
