You drag Kelly on a regular basis. Don't try to deny it.
You completely change your tune when she is putting on a free concert for you though.
The dig was 100% necessary.
Zayn stans have it too easy anyways..... bout time you experienced the same pains as the rest of us.
Lana for L'Officiel Paris
Goddess, i can't.
ETA: She's giving me Kimbra teas with that hair.
Flawless ;_;
Bye, Zayn is the least liked from 1D and the tabloids are always making up stories about him,
his sensitivity already made him have a twitter breakdown
and if you would see all the racism directed at him on a daily basis, it aint right

Well
jk
Yeah his twitter meltdown was pretty ugly, though I doubt he gets much more crap than Harry or Louis.

Supermanisdead presents:
This list took forever, but it is, without a doubt, the quintessential Beyoncé song list. Criteria for getting into this list are simple: must be good. Of course with that criteria, every single Beyoncé song
qualifies for this list, but these are the 20 BEST songs. These early picks are mostly fluid in their positioning since there are so many moods and styles presented it's hard to objectively class one as better than another. Anyways, enjoy it.
#20: Ego
I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008)
WHY: Unapologetically sexual, playful and strong. Who needs subtly?
Listen
#19: End of Time
4 (2011)
WHY: Equal parts Destiny's Child and African drum beats with a pulse-pounding bridge to die for.
Listen
#18: Radio
I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008)
WHY: 1980's synthpop inspired jam that's wildly different from what you'd expect, yet somehow immediately recognizable as a Beyoncé song.
Listen
#17: Start Over
4 (2011)
WHY: Clean R&B ballad with a dramatic, lively chorus. It's a bit expected, but sometimes classic is best.
Listen
#16: Deja Vu
B'Day (2006)
WHY: The spiritual sequel to Crazy in Love, this song ramps up the soul to 20 in the chorus and bridge and features some of the best hooks in a rap-sung collaboration.

IC Tim was saving some of his talent just for JT.

Interested in seeing the rest of the list Super, though I already disagree with most of it, lol.
End of Time is top 5 for me, and Ego/Radio wouldn't touch that top 20.

The album isn't as bad as I expected (listened to a chunk before I got bored....will listen to the rest tomorrow), but I still can't get into it.

Songs 15-11.
#15: Check On It
B'Day (2006)
WHY: Admittedly only here for the chorus, because fuck Slim Thug and Bun B.
Listen
#14: Halo
I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008)
WHY: A sweeping, soulful ballad that emphasizes Beyoncé's voice above all and it works perfectly.
Listen
#13: I Miss You
4 (2011)
WHY: Sparse and haunting and reminiscent of the neo-soul popularity in the early 2000s. It's effortless production pairs well with Beyoncé's low-key and understated vocals.
Listen
#12: Party
4 (2011)
WHY: Funky, smooth and young. Party takes everything that Beyoncé removed in I Miss You and doubles it. The rap verses, whether Andre 3000's or J.Cole's, are charismatic and the perfect accompaniment to the singing.
Listen
#11: Upgrade U
B'Day (2006)
WHY: One word: infectious. Tell me it's not stuck in your head right now.
Listen
so you're like 2 songs in?
will listen to the album once i finish my homework. am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Listening to JT right now. Pusher Love Girl is amazing! I can feel this will be a great album
I'd like to see your list. I kinda hated Ego at first, but it just clicked one day and now it's just so fun.

Decided to do a full listen of 20/20 to get an initial mini review out. DAMN it's hard to get through.
Only on Don't Hold The Wall and it is already painful to continue listening.
Reading the OT thread was disturbing until I realized that general gaf's endorsement is probably a good sign that the general public will reject the sound.

The hell?
Miguels voice is a distraction. All squeaky and whiny. No thanks, tbh.
The outro to SB saved it for me, shame the outro to Mirrors couldn't do the same. Its the only song I actively dislike on the album, with Let The Groove Get In at a close second.

Yes, the outro to Strawberry Bubblegum is the only reason I didn't call it flat-out terrible.
Let The Groove Get In is tremendously generic and forgettable. What a sad display of uptempo from the same guy responsible for SexyBack.
I appreciate the retro-throwback with futuristic sprinklings the album had up until and including Spaceship Coupe. Everything after is a sad pastiche of Disgustin's previous efforts.

Blue Ocean floor is positively dull. Up til those last 3 tracks, I thought I had another Voodoo, by D'angelo on my hands. Those tracks aside, I can see 20/20 in the rotation.
7/10

This Strawberry Bubblegum outro is giving some Maroon 5 realness.

I don't think JT could have made this album LESS accessible to the GP if he tried...... I personally despise all into's and outro's to begin with so. Yeah.

Yessss I Miss You gettin' that spot. I'm gonna guess the top 5:
1) Crazy In Love
2) Naughty Girl
3) Freakum Dress
4) Love on Top
5) Countdown
Margin of error being +/- 450%. lol
Blue Ocean Floor is a TRAGIC ENDING. I'm not sure why so many artists keep trying it with boring ass songs as album closers. It rarely works.
I can only think of Björk's All Is Full of Love for Homogenic as a good example.
The 20/06 Experience was there. The last portion of the album is terrible; the beginning and middle are cute. A rotund 6/10.

Finally listening to the JT stream. Impressions to come.
Oh, and Suit & Tie sounds better sandwiched between Pusher Love Girl and Don't Hold The Wall. For a brief moment I thought Disgustin was going to pull a most unexpected slaying, but Strawberry Bubblegum quickly dashed those hopes.
I will use: Pusher Love Girl, Suit & Tie, Don't Hold The Wall, Spaceship Coupe. Maybe Tunnel Vision will be inducted into this list after some simmering.

NOW would be a good time for Bey to release her single and announce her album.
After listening to the embarrassment that is 20/20 I would probably give Bey 5/5 on every track.
I can't wait till radio pays him dust and he barely squeaks his way to platinum.

Just finishing up Tunnel Vision and this is a solid album so far. The only song I don't use is Strawberry Bubblegum so far. It's just... poor. No other word to explain that song.

Pusher Love Girl is such a feel-good jam. How could anyone hate??
