Let me tell you something, I once 'read' this book called The Catcher in the Rye
no idea what was going on, too many big words and paragraphs that did the
absolute MOST

dont know who this J. D. Salinger is (probably some flop), but it needs to be less PRETENTIOUS
and take notes from J.K Rowling, she at least slays the charts

 

[royalan]

I wish she'd release an R&B album. Morning Dessert/Sex for Breakfast are stunning, and really let her unique vocal tone shine in the limited range in which it tends to shine.

So much wasted potential.

....

ICU.

Certain people's faves wish they had Xtina's power, fullness, resonance, versatility, natural interpretive/improvisational ability, etc...

I read a book yesterday detailing how to bridge a damaged blood vessel using another blood vessel obtained elsewhere in the body.

What books have you read?

 

[Trigger]

I suggest this book for light evening reading tbh

why would you read that book? sounds crazy.

i read the first one and a half harry potter books.

I suggest this one. No words, just pictures. What more do you need?

 

[Trigger]

So that's where Nem got the Gaga picture for his avatar.

Reading Middlemarch right now. Along with JM Coetzee I'd put George Eliot as my favorite author.

As I was writing that I wondered who had randomly asked the question.. then remembered that you're that indefensible shithead who should've been banned permanently many posts ago.

Not here for this.

Naughty Boy (who just unleashed some orgasmic fire with Emeli Sande) produced the track, and Ms. Sande wrote it. Critics have described it as a "stunning trip-hop masterpiece" with a "spectral vocal" and "blooming huge" chart potential, and now there's rumors it will premiere THIS FRIDAY.

I'm looking forward to every potential scenario attached to this song.

 

[B-Dex]

New page, new news:

SLAYONA will slay all your faves this fall. And this summer as well with her lead single "Trouble" from Glassheart.

Lights is now the top radio song in the US. Suck on that, Carly Rae Flopson

 

[Trigger]

In the months that I've been a part of POP-GAF, I've never seen anyone try to troll us. Fascinating.

EDIT- How FORTUNATE for Carly to finally let someone else see the view from the top. CMM had an amazing, one could say life-CHANGING, run.

There's a different kind of reading that goes on round these parts.

 

[Majmun]

I love reading books. Finished the Songs of Ice and Fire books in two months.
Damn, what a good read. Can't wait to read the next book in 2027

Call Me Maybe was never the top radio song in the US tho.

The most insipid song of the decade is knocked off the US top spot by a two year old song.

I didn't know the world could contain this much flop tbh

 

[Aguila]

Call Me Maybe was never the top radio song in the US tho.

I was looking at this: http://digitalmusic.org/charts/

On Demand/Radio. Same difference.

Thats cute hun but On Demand and Radio are two different things. Radio accounts for 45% of the HOT 100 and On Demad streaming is like 20% I think.

Lights will NEVER reach #1 tho. Call Me Maybe was #1 for 9 weeks. Ellie did try tho.

 

[Dr. Malik]

yall aint ready

 

[Mau ®]

YASSSS Marius and I are on the same stanning page. This is a historic moment, baboons!!!

 

[Peru]

I would have been totally confident in Taylor's new single and album campaign if she was the only one responsible. I'm not as confident in her friends, and hope none of them clutter up the tracklist, or the credits, but signs point to more collabs.

now hold up, I am not fully there yet. I am just wanting new music

But I do stan for Love Story, Crazier, and You Belong With Me

Speak Now was written entirely by her, right? That's really impressive if so; I think I liked it more than Fearless.

Well, Ellie has posted twice on Facebook that she has the number 1 "radio song" in the US right now. Don't know where or how she got her info so whatever.

And Lights is #2 on the HOT 100 right now. You never know.

 

[royalan]

Okay PopGAF, it's time for a rare round of Educate Roy.

1) What does "bb" mean? BB are actually my initials and "Bee-Bee" is a nickname of mine irl used by family and close friends, so I'm always freaked when someone uses that on me online.

2) I need a paragraph on why Emili Sande is being pushed as a big deal.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Aguila]

I've always thought it meant "baby"

 

[DMeisterJ]

Can someone post the .gif of Leona at Hackney and the crowd looking underwhelmed?

I need a laugh.

 

[Koodo]

I would check for Squints if she had more songs like Safe & Sound. Not here for her usual teenage diary novela tunes.

 

[Trigger]

BB to me always meant Baby.

Katy's Wide Awake is the #1 song on radio right now. HOWEVER Ellie is not far behind her.

1. KATY PERRY - Wide Awake: 164.929 (+ 0.413)
2. ELLIE GOULDING - Lights: 161.008 (+ 0.811)
3. MAROON 5 - Payphone f/Wiz Khalifa: 152.413 (- 2.874)
4. RIHANNA - Where Have You Been: 141.950 (- 0.714)
5. CARLY RAE JEPSEN - Call Me Maybe: 125.584 (- 2.135)

The problem is Ellie is a non-presence on the TOP 10 on iTunes and the digital format accunts to 35% of the charting. With Flo Rida selling over 200k digital copies, it will be hard for Ellie to really get a #1 on the Hot 100.

How's No Doubt doing? ;_;

Gurls, are you ready for tomorrow?

Ready your gifs, songs, and hawt pics...


August 14th 2012 is BRANDAY

Shady heauxs...

Go home.


It's a day to celebrate how the young Brandy

Grew up to be THE Queen B

 

[Peru]

"Safe & Sound" was basically Taylor going "Yeah, I could outdo anyone in the wistful indie game if I wanted to", but ultimately she's made for more original stuff.

 

[Mau ®]

How's No Doubt doing? ;_;

NO DOUBT - Settle Down: 43.916 (+ 0.479)

And its currently #70 on itunes. Not too shabby but they need to start promo. I never saw Settle Down becoming a big hit anyway but its been holding steady tbh. Its somewhat of a slow burner.

I do think they should release a second single before the album. Something more traditional. (not to be confused with generic or boring)

 

[Dr. Malik]

I bring some tea

The coaches know they haven’t found a Kelly Clarkson yet; they don’t think it’s that important. It’s no secret we can barely remember who won either season of The Voice (or The X Factor, for that matter), but Adam said it was unrealistic to expect them to produce a star every time out. “There are a lot of elements that need to magically fall in to place in order for that to happen … we can’t micromanage everything that happens after they’re on the show,” he said. “We would love to see a star born out of this show, we’re positive it will happen, but we’re not hinging the validity or relevance of this show on that because that’s just ridiculous.”

Christina doesn’t think you need to worry about Britney. “I welcome her to this family of fun and entertainment and finding new talent,” she said when asked about her fellow former Mouseketeer joining Simon Cowell’s The X Factor. “Britney is a pro. I don’t know what she’s going to offer specifically herself as a coach, but I know she’s a pro, and she’s gonna give, I think, great advice.”

Adam’s glad he could pave the way for you, too, Mariah. “When I see other people gravitating toward [doing a music competition show] or deciding it would be a good idea for them, really accomplished people, I wear it as a badge of pride. We made this cool.”

It doesn’t sound like Christina will be back for the spring edition of The Voice. Why? She’s getting ready to release a new single, titled “Your Body,” from her upcoming album, and when asked if she’d be returning, she practically said “I’m outta here!”: “We’re not speaking about anybody going or leaving or the details of that,” she began, “but I just know I can only be great as a coach if I keep on re-inspiring myself, if I keep going out, making albums, recording, and gaining new stories and experiences from the road so I can share with my team.” Cee Lo, on the other hand, acted as though he’d love nothing more than to stick around in the swivel chair (!!!). “I won’t be touring. I want to keep doing the show,” he said.

“Your Body” has Adam’s seal of approval. “I heard that song and I hate you because it’s so good,” he told Christina.

Coaches will now be able to steal contestants from one another. To “reignite the energy of the chair” during the battle rounds, producers have added more button pushing! Coaches will be able to twice rescue a losing battle round contestant from another’s reject pile. In a clip NBC previewed for reporters, Adam, Christina, and Blake all hit their buttons to jockey for the singer Green chose not to move forward.

… but some contestants won’t be worth saving. So, ouch, some will be rejected twice.

Knockout round is just a fancy way of saying “More solos!” After the battle rounds, coaches will again pair their remaining contestants to sing for their lives — only this time they’ll sing solos back to back. (And only after the blind auditions and battle knockout rounds will we get to the live shows. Get ready for the longest season of The Voice yet, America.)
