Well thats petty.
I didn't vote down The Wanted (not that there was any danger of them winning anything considering no one likes them).

Mhm. It's the go-to shade for the pressed flops. Can't clock her on so many things so they teleport back to 2009 (FOUR YEARS AGO) and keep on bringing it up. It's sad really. I feel sorry for them. Anyone having delusions that grand must be in constant pain.
Lol who's Kalinda? What?

Poor pressed flop me. The pain is terribleeeeee!
For being the person who throws around "pressed" the most of anyone in this thread.....you sure come off as the most pressed most of the time.
Bringing up the domestic abuse is far less silly than getting indignant about it.....he did abuse her after all and is a general douchebag. He shouldn't have a defense force. When you connect yourself with a douche it IS going to effect how people perceive you. Rihanna (and her stans) should reconcile themselves with that fact.

Rih isn't helping. She keeps on communicating with Chris, and makes people wonder if they are together or not. I love Rih, but I can't stand Chris.
You take care of Waffy. If you don't, I'll buy a bunch of 1D albums and egg them.My Xmas gift is to give my bb Waffle a nice ring
There is no wonder... They're back together.
And I may watch The Good Wife at some point. Don't have time now, but all the praise has me somewhat intrigued.

Its only the best network drama in years.

Bringing up the abuse is silly considering it happened ages ago. The reason it's brought up isn't for any other reason to drag her. What is the point in continually discussing something in order to drag Rih when it happened so long ago? Oh. There is no reason to unless you just want to drag her name through the mud. But you can continue to delude yourself that you just don't like her existence and want to drag her relentlessly if you want to.
The right type of cunt would just come out and say that they don't like her rather than beating around the bush.
Oh I respect your decision. Aint nothing wrong with it IMO.
But I think people here think its OK to make fun of it and post pictures of the incident as means to drag her and it really isnt. I may be sensitive about it because im a stan though...
Maybe, the only network drama I watch is Nashville and that's pretty good. All the rest are cable dramas like Mad Men, which obviously slay.
I love you *.* Hayden SLAYS as Juliette.
She is so hot. I knew she was hot before (I watched Heroes S1) but man she's on another level now.
And she's such a cunt in the show but I understand her ;____;

Yeah I am so pressed and delusional for disagreeing with you on something. Thanks for setting me straight!
Do I REALLY dislike Rihanna? No....not really. I am fairly neutral on her actually and I enjoy the bulk of her singles. I find it fun to drag her a bit though......we drag people for their weight, skin color, singing ability, age....virtually everything there is to be dragged, gets dragged. Lets not pretend Rih is some special case where its wrong to drag her for going back to her abuser/a general douchebag. We drag people for FAR less.
I am not nearly subtle enough for that to be intentional. You know this.
She and her character are amazing. So glad she's getting nominated for awards.
Well the abuse did happen a while ago, but it was only until recently that Rihanna forgave Chris and got back together with him.

Has Ri ever done a Christmas song?

Ok, I have wanted to talk about this for days but I wanted to be sure of my opinion first.
I imported Glasshearts on a whim after I found out it was never released stateside, and have been listening to it. I had also purchased Leona's first album a couple years ago, and more recently her single Run (which I love even though I know its a cover).
Listened through it quite a few times and I have to say....
The album is terrible. I don't get it at all....so little diversity and so boring. Individually the songs are OKish....but as an album it simplu does not work. There is virtually no range shown at all, and the variety that IS there sounds terribly dated. Leona sounds vocally amazing as usual but that is no excuse for having this disastrous material. Every track is reminiscent of another (superior) song that I have already heard on the radio. After I finished listening to it I couldn't remember a single track....it had that little impact on me. I know several popgaffers love the album so I keep trying and failing to grasp it.
What am I missing? I don't get it.....

Based on your unfortunate 1D stanning, I surmise that what you're missing is an ear for quality music.
Glassheart, Sugar, Fireflies, Favorite Scar, Come Alive, Colorblind, I To You, Trouble (Acoustic), Shake You Up (occasionally) >>>>>>
Not sure how an album full of "OK-ish" individual songs (as you put it) can be a "terrible" album.

Very easily.
Its the same sound over and over, not enough variety.
For example. Diamonds is a good song, and if she produced 10 versions of that song none of them would be "bad". The album would be though.
As I said. Many of the songs are OK but simply serve to remind me of BETTER songs by other artists with similar sounds. This is not a winning formula.
I wanted to like it. I really did

But unlike Unapolopoopoo, Glassheart has variety. Sweeping ballads, synthy throwback 80s cheese, fun 90s-style pop, dark moody midtempos, club-banging electronic, and strings-heavy emotional pieces.
Your criticism certainly applies to her first two albums, though. Nonetheless, I'm glad you sought it out. Too many still haven't experienced its transcendent brilliance.

I like the song glassheart!

TBH I had similar criticisms with her first album...but I also had no expectations going in so maybe it didn't seem as big of a deal at the time. I do agree there was some variety in tempo and "types" of songs.....but I still felt that despite their different styles they all sounded way to similar. Part of it is that her voice has a very distinct sound that it seems they ALWAYS go with......I get that she has a great voice....but while that's a great asset its not an excuse to not change things up more.
Also....the public obviously wasn't that interested either. Just sayin.

Glassheart came long before that sorry excuse for a show even existed. Tedder was just impatient after all the delays
And no way is that awful, guttural delivery of hers better than what Leona did.

They would've been had "Trouble" not led the campaign and if, like Taylor's flawless management, Syco prioritized radio and internet promo over fleeting, one-shot appearances on high-profile television shows.
Not that "public interest" is ever a barometer for quality, see Gangnam Style. Just sayin.
Sadly I dislike most of Katherine McPhee stuff. Wonderful voice IMO but she could be doing better things than the silly pop songs she tends to do.

It just got played in the background during an X-Factor Best and Worst special today, so I suspect it'll be soon.
My prediction - it'll be the lead worldwide single and crush the lessers with its girthy hooves.

I suppose I can't argue with this.
Doesn't change my opinion that the album wasn't great. She needs massive shakeups in WHAT music she is making just as much as she needs a management change if she wants to return to success imo.
Just blaming management is almost always a cop out.
