There's some legitimate criticisms to be made about alterations of a pop star's skin tone in the media and how that affects the psychological well-being of a minority fan base, but using "hurr she bleaches" as shade just seems hollow and problematic.

Par for the course for botty. Remember him slut-shaming Frank Ocean.

 

[Majmun]

Are we really comparing Nicki Minaj to Beyonce, when Beyonce's transformation has taken place over a decade... where as Nicki's image has been eclectic since her debut album?

Beyonce in 1999

Beyonce in 2001

I could go on...

You were saying?

But did I lie?

Doesn't explain why she looks albino in her most recent pic.

What's roy's excuse, then?

 

[Bladenic]

Can we move past this and talk about Warrior?

Regardless of the missing tracks and LQ, the tracks here SHIT. Almost no auto-tune, lots of rock elements, plenty of jams, and a ton of signature Ke$ha lyrics. Can't wait for the full thing.

Doesn't look more white than her 2003 version tbh.

From Beyonce's tumblr:

I guess we know what she does when she's feeling ugly...

Probably look at a Xtina picture to make herself feel pretty again

I agree.

If you would have told me a month ago I might buy a Ke$ha album day 1 I would have laughed in you face. It really is excellent. I am very hyped.

(plus got 150$ in Itunes gift cards for 105$ so I have money to blow.....<3 Black Friday)

Do you think Solange bleaches too?

I could go on...

You were saying?

Second, sis you know I love you but there's a HUGE difference in those shots.

That first one is a young Bey sporting her natural skin tone (maybe a bit tan).

That last one? A gross attempt to make herself look lighter than she naturally is.

What's roy's excuse, then?

I have no excuse. But as I said last page I couldn't care less about Beyonce bleaching or whatever the hell it is she does to herself. I'm too busy enjoying my own sexy chocolate ass to give a damn about the people who can't see the beauty in how Godtina created them naturally. What bothers me is that she positions herself and allows herself to be seen as a role model for young black girls. As a community black people have only recently begun to really wake up to these images and ideas we've long accepted as commonplace and the effect they can have on our sense of self-worth even as young children.

It just doesn't sit right with me.

If y'all remember, I went in on Wendy Williams for this a while back. So it's not just Bey's lacefront I'm looking to collect.

 

[Trigger]

There's a good use of breakdowns and the beats on Warrior are fantastic. Warrior may not have a lot of variety, but it's a going to be a great dance album.

I find it hilarious how easy it is for people to accept the Xtina draggings in here, but when it's someone else being dragged for something there is a problem.

The audacity of some people.

 

[paperheart]

It leaked...

Ugh, I wish it hadn't. I refuse to listen, and I will enjoy Warrior when I get it in the mail. I just hope that people will care about my impressions by then.

I am not going to listen to any more tracks either. We can be out of date together!

I am probably going to do a review. We will see.




Seems like everything leaks now.

 

[Trigger]

Leaks are just part of the music scene now unfortunately. If a person cares about an artist they will put there money where there mouth is though.

Of course we will sis. <3

 

[Bladenic]

I may do a review for Warrior. Not really into that since #neaux1curr about my opinion but what I've heard is just so good. Can't wait for the deluxe.

 

[Koodo]

The plug rooms (yes, even Vocalists; we invaded that one to see if it worked, Deli tested it out with One Direction) are being positively LOTUS tonight.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I couldn't log in all afternoon. Now when I do get it never plays any music for me.

Plug seems to be very buggy all around. Seldom do 2/3 days go by without SOME bug cropping up. Kind of sad considering that its such a nice simple service.

UK Singer from X Factor right?

Never heard any of his music but I see lots of 1D fans talking about him.

Yay! Glad I'm not the only one waiting. No telling how long MyPlayDirect is going to take to ship my CD/EP, so I must stay as strong as possible. I will just die if I have to wait a week after the release date to get it.

Of course we will sis. <3

People can say all the bad things they want about POPGAF, but they are wrong. Everyone here is awesome.

I actually care. I think you are cool.

 

[botty]

For Halloween, Beyonce was the White Rabbit.

Her tumblr is just everything.

 

[Styles]

There's a Chapman produced track on Warrior?

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

This conversation about Beyonce's blackness on the basis of how light-skinned she naturally is is sad.

Disgusting to boot. The inference that Beyonce bleaches, is that she hates being black. It's gross.

Par for the course for botty. Remember him slut-shaming Frank Ocean.

Mhmm

I find it hilarious how easy it is for people to accept the Xtina draggings in here, but when it's someone else being dragged for something there is a problem.

The audacity of some people.

Xtina gets dragged for what? Horrible singing? Not dressing for her body type? Is anyone dragging her for her hypothetical self hate?

There's some legitimate criticisms to be made about alterations of a pop star's skin tone in the media and how that affects the psychological well-being of a minority fan base, but using "hurr she bleaches" as shade just seems hollow and problematic.

And a lil racist.

Sometimes she looks lighter, sometimes she looks darker.

Who the fuck cares?

Xtina fans apparently. (sans Soulscribe)

Yeah. Usually I listen to the first couple tracks that leak (to determine whether I want the album) then avoid the rest. Probably going to just buy from Itunes....I don't have the willpower to wait for CD's to ship anymore.

She doesn't outright confirm it, but her description of the movie clearly points to The Great Gatsby (interview). She also doesn't say whether or not she'll be the one singing...
