In other news T Swizzle dominated my local battle show on the radio easily clinching the victory.

Marius said I had to play as Fat Princess when All Star Battle Royale comes out.

Is this that character?

FLAWLESS, SHE HAS SNATCHEDT YOUR FAVES WIGS ALREADY

I really felt Emeli's presence all over the song. I guess that's a good thing for her as a writer?

What a boring track, and as a LEAD single from a long awaited album?

The title suddenly became more relevant

I actually like the equine's single.

I listened to it twice and another in the car TURNED UP.

Song is OK. But I suppose anything would seem good compared to Taylor's latest.

IDOL DRAMA

Nicki Minaj may well become a judge on "American Idol," but it will be at the expense of Mariah Carey, who we're told hung up the phone when she was told Nicki was the top candidate.

Sources connected with "Idol" tell TMZ ... Mariah was led to believe she would be the only woman on the judge's panel. Choosing Nicki would not only crush that expectation, it would add insult to injury because Nicki (29) is a lot younger than Mariah (42).

As for the composition of the judge's panel, we're told by no means is it a done deal. There are 2 scenarios being played out. First, it's unclear if Randy Jackson will come back as a judge or a mentor. If he leaves the judge's panel, there will be another spot to fill.

The second scenario ... we're told some of the honchos believe it's a mistake to have 2 women and a man on the panel, and a 4th male judge would be necessary.

As for who's still in the running, we're told Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Enrique Iglesias are leading the pack.

And there's one other thing. Sources connected with the show say they're worried ... if the judge's end up being Mariah, Nicki and Randy ... middle America might not welcome the blackout.

You know, I really don't think I want Azealia to work with Gaga.

 

[Styles]

Taylor performing at VMAs. I am looking forward to

 

[Peru]

I really 'get' what Taylor & Co are going for business-wise with "Never", and as said I'm happy she's got that worldwide hit again that was lacking on Speak Now, but it has to be said, with those producers it comes at the expense of some of her own qualities, and it feels more generic and less personal, which is a bad thing for TS indeed. I like the song, but it's not quite Taylor as Taylor, and the rumours we hear about the album suggests that I may have to adjust to that. Some sacrifices for a hit is ok, but for an album not so much and if it's the case I hope this is just an experiment and she goes back to co-producing with Chapman.

 

[Trigger]

^^^^
Word. I see no lies in Peru's post.

You know, I really don't think I want Azealia to work with Gaga.

Why? Best case scenario is that this makes Azealia more mainstream.

 

[Nemesis_]

Why? Best case scenario is that this makes Azealia more mainstream.

Because Godel is a contrarian.

 

[twobear]

Why? Best case scenario is that this makes Azealia more mainstream.

Because I don't want her to follow Minaj's footsteps of collaborating with big name pop stars, then slowly abandoning the style that made her famous in the first place in favour of by the numbers pop.

 

[paperheart]

God, I fucking hate this rapping-during-bridge trend.

Agreed. If it wasn't for the rapping, Leona's 'Trouble' would be really good.

 

[Majmun]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Goodbye Nicki, IT'S OVER

I'm loving Leona's new song. It's really good IMO

I'm working on a GIF for this occasion.

Leona Lewis - Trouble (feat. Childish Gambino)

mess

Just listened.

Eh.


It's not a terrible song, but that said it is incredibly bland, and the exact type of song you would imagine Leona Lewis recording if you were of the opinion that she was a boring, passionless singer. In fact, I was glad for Childish Gambino's verse - his delivery at least held emotion that was fitting for the song. Leona's singing about being a femme fatale pretty much the same way she'd sing about going to the grocery store.

2.5/5

 

[Nemesis_]

I went back and listened to Collide.

I think that's a better song tbh

 

[Bladenic]

Collide >>>>> Trouble

Royalan spilled the truest tea ever. She sounds bored. OR rather, she cannot really convey the emotion this song seems to call for. Such a shame. Childish Gambino's rap is great though. The rest is meh. Collide was much better imo, but then again I love Avicii.

Who knows, it might be a big hit and propel her album to great sales.... but I can't see it doing that. There are far worse songs out there that have been popular though.

Just saw this.

I am ready for a female-led panel. The panel has been male-dominated for LONG ENOUGH.

I am ready for judges that would ensure another boring, borderline-untalented WGWG doesn't win six years in a row

Spoiler

or at least makes it difficult for them to just COAST through the competition with guitar crutches like they have been

.

And Middle America can just get the fuck over it.

He doesn't look a day older than 16...this video is going to be very weird.

 

[Mau ®]

LOL all this hype from GAF's Leona and we end up with such a bland track lol. The track feels more like a Leona impression of Emile Sandé rather than her own track.

Childish Gambino's verse slays tho.

 

[Nemesis_]

Maybe the video will be a reenactment of Equus.

Trouble was kinda basic
