very few people voted for Fiona Apple, I am guessing most of PopGaf hasnt heard it or dont care for it
No
No
kiiii at you thinking I'm bothered by it. Scribe already said how he felt about Rih's albums long ago and in his Unapologetic review. He feels the urban side of her drags the albums down, so I was never walking in expecting any of them to be on his list. Not that it matters because I don't need validation in liking her albums. I know it's hard for Xtuna fans to understand that since they're universally disliked (and universally not bought as well if we look at Bionic and LOTUS). So bye.

What kind of redemption with the Top 5.
B'Day is the only one I'm iffy about, but I suppose if that's the album that ended up solidifying Beyoka, its placement makes sense.or daddy bought that spot.
The Blackout description was immaculate, especially the acknowledgement of how context elevates the album into legendary status.
TFM shouldn't have been so low though

Lists are just a random group of peoples opinions. Lets not pretend they somehow are more legit because they are from a "real publication".

i will never forget this, popgaf
Well, you can remember it like you remember her, M.I.A., and Smellie, but the rest of POP-GAF have already forgotten.
Who are we talking about again?
I could make a Top 7 list and list all of her albums if it makes you feel better, but why does it really matter what someone thinks of someone's else's albums? I mean, no shade to Scribe, but does it really matter it didn't make his list? It's moreso just for discussion than actually mattering. But I see the Xtuna stans making a mountain out of a mole hill. Let's try to divert the attention away from the sinking ship that is her career.
Hey, hey I voted for Ellie.
Indeed. Bad Romance alone merits an inclusion in the Top 10 as it has been one of the most culturally significant moments in pop of the 21st century; but I suppose the scribe-sis can be pardoned for this mistake.TFM shouldn't have been so low though

I placed them at #9 for my Record of the Year list tho. Its not like it will harm anybody.
Dont be mad at me. Im still high.
i eagerly anticipate the day xtina is dropped from her label
1D-GAF appreciates the vote nonetheless.
Rih topped several of my lists. *.*
Bless
Shit, I meant "The Periods". Oh well.
1D-GAF appreciates the vote nonetheless.

I knew it ever since Marius said you were a "mess".
Im glad you're enjoying this new Rih era. The #Navy will be honored to have you on our team if you ever decide on joining. *.*
gotta live while were young
You know... I recently heard that song for the first time recently while driving to work.
I bopped.
Sis, he was clearly In The Zone.
I hope you were lucid.
Ch...

One time my brother had to pick me up at a HEB because I got so high and I couldnt drive back home (which was 3 mins away tops)
nnnnnnnnnn that sounds worse than it actually was kiiii

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FEEDBACK SISTREN!!! I put way more effort into writing than I thought I would have (or probably should have) but it makes me feel nice when I read the responses <3
Yeah, I think Bad Romance is one of the biggest pop songs of the last 10 years, but I personally don't think it's so much culturally significant as it is the perfect model in how to emerge onto the pop scene. I think its success is a testament to Gaga's ability to inspire and the golden potential of her prospective career, but I don't necessarily think it's revolutionary in its content. I think the success of Bad Romance is what kept The Fame Monster in my top 20 list; even though it's in my PERSONAL top 5 for pop, I tend to give it more credit for putting Gaga on the map than for setting massive cultural trends. It definitely inspired people to be more like Gaga, but that's due moreso to the fashion and controversial performances than the songs themselves. I do think that Born This Way will have more cultural significance down the line however.
Haha, I had originally made a top 65 to have a bigger pool of choices so that I can make a better list, and both Loud and Good Girl Gone Bad were in there. So were Born To Die and The Fame. But yeah I do think that Rihanna's albums are less effective in their quality than the choice singles she releases, and that if she had a record that somehow included half or most of her best material (like Blackout, Born This Way or Futuresex/LoveSounds do), then it would be pretty damn high on my list. Actually it would probably be top 11-20 material.
Imagine if she had a single album that included at least 5 of the following:
- Umbrella
- Don't Stop The Music
- Russian Roulette
- Rude Boy
- S&M
- Only Girl (In The World)
- Man Down
- We Found Love
- Where Have You Been
- Diamonds
Then yes that album would chart. But Rih stans already have the real charts for themselves, so meh.

Even if I disagreed with much of it, I loved the album descriptions.
They were written so eloquently that I almost started believing that Britney deserves to be in the Top 50 of anything.

Did any of Leona's albums make the list?

Unbothered by that, you shady ho.
The list justifies itself very well. We should all argue so cogently tbh

That Blackout write-up was amazing.

And she's already smoking? Ch....
She is such a mess. She also doesn't have any form of talent (be careful who have kids with, folks), especially compared to princess Paris Jackson.
what is it with you and that child?
Not Jhud cutting her back a few moments later.
edit: you couldn't even hear beyonce at the end.
JHud has a heavier voice so that's normally to be expected. The point is that Beyonce's technique in the upper belt is sufficiently better (in spite of her lighter voice) that she can cut through JHud on the same note because of her resonance. JHud does have the bigger voice.
Oh, the numbers are pretty easy. In scientific pitch notation, each octave goes:
C-D-E-F-G-A-B
And after that, the next octave restarts at C. Between all of these besides B - C and E - F, there is a "♯" (sharp, usually just typed as "#" because I'm lazy)) and a ♭ (flat, usually typed as "b" because I'm still lazy).
So an 88 key piano has:
A0 B♭0 B0
C1 C♯1 D1 E♭1 E1 F1 F♯1 G1 G♯1 A B♭1 B1
C2 C♯2 D2 E♭2 E2 F2 F♯2 G2 G♯2 A B♭2 B2
C3 C♯3 D3 E♭3 E3 F3 F♯3 G3 G♯3 A B♭3 B3
C4 C♯4 D4 E♭4 E4 F4 F♯4 G4 G♯4 A B♭4 B4
C5 C♯5 D5 E♭5 E5 F5 F♯5 G5 G♯5 A B♭5 B5
C6 C♯6 D6 E♭6 E6 F6 F♯6 G6 G♯6 A B♭6 B6
C7 C♯7 D7 E♭7 E7 F7 F♯7 G7 G♯7 A B♭7 B7
C8
Each letter + number refers to the note and the octave the note occurs in, from that you can find out the frequency of the note. For example, a Tenor C (C5) is 523.25 Hz - which means that your vocal folds have to vibrate 523.5 times per second in order to hit a C5.
So if we say Barbra Streisand has a range of B2 - D6, we are in essence saying that she is able to sing from 123.47 to 1174.7 Hz.
Check your PMs
She is the most talented offspring of MJ, and the most likely person to carry the Jackson name legacy. Is this not obvious?
