After you get your own shade.
why when the same old shade is still relevant and applicable but going by your fave you know nothing about that
What kind of Photoshop '95 realness?
Lawd I finally listened to Grown Woman in full.
I CAN'T at that sloppy as ending. She's literally just screaming "I'm a grown woman! I can't do WHATAH I WANT!"
BTW...did nobody find out why I heard Grown Woman playing in the club this weekend?

Are you sure you weren't just so drunk that your unconscious desires manifested themselves in a latent form of Beyonce's single?
It seems bizarre that someone would have a copy of the song and it not be leaked yet. Even then, maybe it's been grinded through a noise removal or remixed to hell to cover up the shit quality?
I'm not sure either way.
But I will say this much - the song is in my head a lot. :/
Might have been the song it samples from?

I dunno. It was really loud, but I DEFINITELY heard the chorus to that terrible song.
I'm sorry, I just don't get it.
I know people expect Beyonce shade from me, but I admitted to liking what we've heard of Standing in the Sun.
But Grown Woman just sounds fucking awful to me. It just has no point. Obvious lyrics are a staple of pop bangers, but even still the lyrics are too heavy-handed and not really catchy outside of repeating the same damn statement over and over. And if the studio version is anything like what she's peddling in her tour, the ending completely falls apart.
Based on what we've heard, if GW is the lead single I think it's the weakest single she's EVER led an era with. Yes, even weaker than that rancid Run The World (Girls) mess...

I agree that the song is weak. The snippet had me a little bit hyped but then hearing the full thing it just doesn't seem to go anywhere at all.
And the end it really does fall apart, though I thought maybe it was like that because it was a tour version that she needed to segue into another song somehow. I admit I haven't watched many performances so I'm not sure.
The choreo is cute as well but it's not the "calibre" of what you would expect from someone like Beyonce either.
But I totally believe the rumour that Bey herself knows it's not a strong lead single and that she is waiting until she has one to release the song and album details.
Even still......scheduling a tour without concrete material to perform? That's downright rude, especially to early adopters.
Gaga did the same with The Monster Ball - she added BTW and then Judas to a few dates here and there but I accept this because it was MONTHS after The Fame Monster had come out and Born This Way was working it's way up to release. That's an acceptable gap and that tour went for so fucking long I can't really hold it against her.
As for the Born This Way Ball...well....she did me a favour by not performing Hair or The Queen.
EDIT: And FWIW I think RTW would be a weaker lead single without the Major Lazer sampling.

What a merciful legend
Yes. I will have a seat...
...and watch The Lion King if I wanted to be bothered with some Mufasa realness.

Apparently some of the choreography from the Grown Woman performance is recycled from Beyonce's 2003 VMA performance
Literally a decade of the same material.

This is why I am not phased about the wait for ARTPOP.
I know Gaga will deliver something new and interesting.
She is coming

This is what appeals to me about Gaga. She brings something very fresh to the table, and that's exactly what people should expect from a global artist. But I guess not every pop girl can be an artist.

I suppose it's only inevitable when you distance yourself so far from the creative process

When your cycle normalises again you'll change your tune.
Oh, another avatar change too.
and closer to pick up trucks and smoking manholes

Well if that's what it takes to make good music, more people should be doing it!
Stache + Cake >> Grown Woman + Standing On The Sun + Bow Down etc
and they were not even official songs
just... no
figures the resident misogynist would hate a song titled grown woman

Shameful.
But go ahead and let the Beyhive line up for this decade-old fish.
Also, I refuse to defend Born This Way, so I'll say this:
So Happy I Could Die >>>>>> Beyonce

You know for someone so against labels you are happy to keep handing them out.

my favorite label for beyonce is "global"
My favorite label for Beyonce is "Satan's Drunk Lay."
my favorite label for Christina is RCA

Part of me is upset with this shade, but the other part of me is impressed with the word play.
