Tik Tok was good tho...

That was only blocked by the New York anthem of the generation so Rihallah will go #1.

 

[twobear]

What a shame that Pop GAF has resorted to getting excited about chart placements instead of getting excited about good music.






Again.

 

[Ties]

Do you stan for Die Young?

 

[royalan]

Well that was a dud.

Xtina still has the best comeback track of the year, tbh.

 

[Mau ®]

kiiiiiiiiiiiii

I cant listen to Die Young right now but Im loving the dissapointment.

 

[Trigger]

Well that was a dud.

It really is.

I haven't even heard it.

Hold your horses gerl, we haven't even reached the year's main event.

Too bad "charts" is all their faves will ever enjoy, because ain't no one checking Diarihuh or Ket¢hup for quality.

Stouffer's frozen dinners are OK once in a while, but only sad uncivilized subhumans actually stan Stouffer's frozen dinners.

 

[botty]

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side.

my pussy tastes like pepsi cola, my eyes are wide like cherry pies

I'll just let the rest of the gerls address that unfortunate choice of website you went with.

 

[Trigger]

I can't believe Ke$ha served up such basic offerings. Is this what the rest of the album will sound like?

 

[twobear]

Are you even sure the leak is real?

I'm worried for Marius

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

She is serving up 3+ year old songs on the album too. I smell a case of creative bankruptcy.

RihALLAH remains more critically lauded than your fave

That's not creative bankruptcy, that's herpes.

 

[Trigger]

There's no mistaking it. It's legit. I enjoyed her brief reign though.












We'll always have Tik Tok.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

RihALLAH remains more critically lauded than your fave

So you agree that Rihanna is Inferior Robyn then.

Good to know.

 

[DMeisterJ]

New Page, New News

The Rihanna Reign continues on Wednesday. You've been warned.

mhm

 

[Ties]

Good to know.

Not you coming in out of nowhere bringing your unknown fave into the mix

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Lana Del Rey's RIDE leaked too

 

[twobear]

NEW PAGE NEW GODDESS APHRODYLIE NEWS

Goddess Aphrodylie clocked up another magazine cover somewhere in the world.

Singapore apparently. Local, obviously.

Picking a pop legend like Kylie for their debut issue. Your fave will never.

As ever,

Kylie:

Your fave:

 

[Ties]

Lana Del Rey's RIDE leaked too

This, on the other hand, is quite good

 

[twobear]

Not you coming in out of nowhere bringing your unknown fave into the mix

She's not unknown to critics' hearts, obviously.

 

[Mau ®]

Carlsson might be a critics darling but its a shame no one will ever find out kiiiiii

 

[botty]

So you agree that Rihanna is Inferior Robyn then.

receipts

Good to know.

[Leona Lewis]

Thanks for changing that horrible GIF, Ties. I thought my MacBook Air suddenly turned into a 3DS.

And thank you godelsis for chastening that poor soul. If we put any stock in Metacritic at all, then we'd all have to agree that Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel is Mariah's best album and that THE QUEEN is Keri Hilson's equal.

What a flop site.

 

[twobear]

And thank you godelsis for chastening that poor soul.

But sis...I agree that Robyn 'Superior Robyn' Carlsson is by far superior to Robyn 'Inferior Robyn' Fenty.

 

[Koodo]

Lana Del Rey's RIDE leaked too

Bless, this is good.

I haven't seen yew comment on Aphrodylie's Flower.

 

[Mumei]

There are many problems with review aggregators such as Metacritic when it comes to using them to determine critical acclaim, let alone when it comes to determining quality.

Though I can't see I'm surprised to see people using it.

 

[twobear]

I haven't seen yew comment on Aphrodylie's Flower.

I haven't heard the leaked version. I am saving myself.

I have heard previous versions tho and it is Klassic Kylie i.e. flaw free.

I agree to some extend and lets face it there's not really a question of whether Robyn or Rihanna is more critically lauded.

Plus I was only using it as a tray to serve up some premium jasmine chai.

 

[Leona Lewis]

But sis...I agree that Robyn 'Superior Robyn' Carlsson is by far superior to Robyn 'Inferior Robyn' Fenty.

And you are flawless and correct in that assertion. Fortunately, you don't have to rely on MEHTASHITIC to back up your true and unassailable opinion.

Because that would make you sad and worthy of our pity.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Though I can't see I'm surprised to see people using it.

Shady.

 

[twobear]

Basically the rule of thumb when it comes to metacritic is, 'does it back up my assertion that my fave > your fave'. If so then it is a highly reputable and trustworthy source. Otherwise it is stupid bullshit that is obviously biased or faulty.

Right.

The issue for me comes more when trying to determine quality; it counts equally the most insightful and the most vapid reviews. I am sure we have all read reviews at some point or another where the reviewer just did not appear to understand what they were talking about, repeatedly got basic information wrong, and ended up giving a negative review to something on a ridiculous basis. That negative review and the well-thought positive review both count for the same thing. And you could obviously switch that - a positive review for something that is actually basic.

And then Metacritic themselves actually take it upon themselves to give scores for reviews that do not have an explicit score of some sort. I don't see how anyone can take it seriously. Even when you are trying to determine critical acclaim it is problematic because it can count Random Ass Place You've Never Heard Of the same as Prestigious Magazine #6.

Shady.

Shade would require subtlety.

 

[Leona Lewis]

So, in summary, Ties:

 

[twobear]

I haven't got anything more constructive to add because you pretty much nail it. If I were having a serious discussion about which of two artists has a higher quality output I wouldn't rely on Metacritic.

 

[botty]

How many times do we have to discuss that Metacritic should not be cited?

It's OK, Ties has been gone for a long while. She'll learn eventually.

Lord, Ride slayed me. Such amazing production. *.*

Spoiler

Leona Lewis is like a budget fave, at best. But,

that's a master class in DRAGGGGGGing right hurr.

 

[Mau ®]

I like Ke$ha's new single. I think its cute tbh and won't change the station if it comes on the radio. It's not the massive slayage I was expecting tho.

Lana's Ride is great. On par with the best BTD stuff tbh.
