irresponsible vagina leak
Nicole has great vocals but she basically hinders it with the basic music she does and doesnt fully utilizes her quirks she has on the crappy music she releases.

I also like this bit of show off she did which I posted before. LINK

It's a testament that maybe her output should be managed more closely, as opposed to chasing that pop stardom. The only vocals I've enjoyed from her thus far have been mainly ballads from her non-solo albums and most of these side-project undertakings, like her stint in Rent.

I was just having this conversation with someone. I think Nicole's problem at this point is she keeps trying to get in the game through the "hot young starlet" door, but that ship been done sailed. She's never going to be the hip new thing that young girls want to be with music videos young boys jerk off to. She's old and worn and not fooling anyone.

It's time for her to stop wasting time with lukewarm Bubblegum drivel that not even actual "hot young starlets" would touch these days. She needs to start aiming a little older and little more highbrow. She's got the voice for it. I was surprised at how good she is vocally, and she's absolutely wasting it chasing after an audience that's not here for her...or at least wont be with this current sound.

Less RedOne, more Diane Warren/BloodOrange/Rick Rubin.

Totally agreed. She's too old for that, even if Fergie got away with it.

the fuck is going on here

thriller, bad and dangerous are three of the BEST pop albums ever made. their music and accompanying videos redefined popular music and contain some of the most sophisticated and resonant examples of the cinematic form.

thriller, beat it, bad (the full scorcese short film), liberian girl, the way you make me feel, smooth criminal, man in the mirror, jam, in the closet, black or white, remember the time - ALL fucking genius. you will NOT find better pop videos anywhere else. choreography, editing, imagery - brilliant, concise, meaningful, provocative.

my man armond white sums this up more eloquently than i

Michael Jackson made the best cinema of 1991 with the music video “Black or White,” which was easily superior to any short or feature-length film released to the public that year. To find a comparable example of visual montage, you have to go back to one of Alain Resnais’ time-shifting études, the marriage scherzo in Citizen Kane or the chase-trial fugue in D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance. I combine musical and filmic values because “Black or White” ’s visionary approach to egalitarianism—ending with a still-miraculous sequence of genetic morphing and counter-balanced by a solo dance of frustration and rage—was a singular feat: Its constant rhythm was accompanied by a stacking-up of thrilling, provocative ideas.

The night “Black or White” premiered on FOX was one of those memorable moments when Michael Jackson brought the world together through his art. That unification is, of course, MJ’s legacy. But not merely in a lovey-dovey sense. MJ’s command of popular attention was always unexpected and challenging. Each cultural/historical marker demonstrated his unique sensibility, mostly superb taste (pardon his penchant for horror-film tropes), his simple yet probing, agitating intellect and his seemingly boundless talents: a great singer, songwriter, dancer and, in movie terms, performer-as-auteur.

MJ had the audacity to believe that he could also create that communication on a larger scale in sincere anthems like “We Are the World,” “Earth Song” and “Man in the Mirror.” It’s a wonder of pop art when you can’t really separate the gravitas of an anthem from a love lyric. That flash of emotional truth in MJ’s art makes it possible to set aside scandal. What genuine artist has avoided it?

Calm your vagina. We all know Michael Jackson is the most iconic pop star of all time. Only Rob is crazy enough to complain about him. Don't pay it much attention. <3

You tell no lies, but you touched on a good question that I've been thinking about for a while now. Might even be thread worthy...

WHY is men's Pop so fucking pathetic right now.

Whereas the ladies are really pressured to differentiate themselves (and even punished by fan communities for veering too close to another act's lane), most male Pop acts these days end up being some sort of copy or mix of the same three principle artists: MJ, Prince or Elvis.

Personally, I think that at some point men allowed their sense of masculinity to inhibited them and keep them from embracing pop pageantry or avant garde. Men have gotten too uptight.

I think back to the 70s Funk movements with groups like Parliament and how fucking whacked they use to dress and perform. And what about The Villiage People? People imitate Prince's musicality and style, but NOBODY gets out on stage in flaming yellow assless chaps like he used to. Shit like that wouldn't fly these days (I mean, there's CeeLo, but...), whereas this is EXPECTED from the ladies. Nowadays, most male acts are content the shovel the same tired wannabe MJ/Prince/Elvis routine, and people seem to be ok with it.

What happened?

You just listed every reason why MJ and the current state of pop music is as flawed as it is. Note that nothing you listed had anything to do with music. It's all about the spectacle and the bright and shiny of everything. He and they use all that "pop imagery" and over the top videos to distract you from the fact that they are selling you a worthless bill of goods. If you are the shit, then your music should speak for itself, IMO.

Because teenage girls and butch queens are the only ones buying music en masse, and only buy the records of the latest 16-19 y/o 5 member boy band.

Well there are a few male pop singers who try to engage in the aforementioned pop pageantry, but the industry punishes them pretty harshly for stepping out of the MJ/Prince/Elvis mold. I think an argument could be made that male pop-stars are more pigeonholed than their female counterparts.

Rob created this bullshit tier system for himself to make sense of why he is hypocritical about stanning for Prince but in the same breath stanning for Madonna/Rihanna.

I think I've been pretty clear that I don't see it for MJ's music. Have I not? MJ's music from Thriller to Invincible was garbage. I didn't care for it. I don't like it. I think it sucks. Everything connected to it sucked. I'm sure he was a swell fella tho.

I like Madonna's music, for the most part. And we've already discussed the Rihanna stanning. I don't see the problem here.

Hello and welcome back to the PopGAF Community Awards. Tonight marks a special occasion where we get to celebrate the most decorated members of the community at large.

We'll get straight into it and present the next wave of awards.

itWEWkOMLySiC.gif


There are EIGHT awards remaining.

ibkMXEYBgxXQxI.gif


The Justin Timberlake Award for Biggest Bandwagon
Awarded to the "situation" that compelled the most people to change allegiances or switch sides TOWARDS something else​
The nominations were:

Rihanna and her Chart Performance
M.I.A. and her Matangi Mixtape
Rihanna following Unapologetic
Taylor Swift following RED​

ibnRTp7rIoNqtJ.gif


I honestly felt that none of these deserved a top nomination considering the other options available, but THAT'S JUST LIFE. So let's present the award to it's worthy(?) recipient:

PG-Bandwagoners.png


Congratulations to the #NAVY for being the recipients of bandwagoning. Like a whore in a brothel, everyone gravitates towards the Bajan queen.

MIA should have won but her album is seemingly nowhere in sight despite the release date being imminent. Everyone is hopping off that wagon right quicK.
