I think at this point I'm just going to wait until the ARTPOP stream

So lately I've been wondering why there's such a lack of male pop artist. The two biggest solo male artists of our current time are two white males with the same first name. I mean, what the fuck. Where is the male equivalent of Rihanna? Is there even male counterparts to the small pop girls like Charli or Sky? Has Sweden, pop heaven on Earth, even produced a great male artist? Are gender schemas the underlying cause of all of this? We need studies done tbh. Food for thought everyone

 

[You Know Nothing]

It's because screaming "KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING" isn't nearly as satisfying as screaming "QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" tbh.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Don't forget Bruno

And the dude in Just Give Me a Reason

 

[Dr. Malik]

Where is the male equivalent of Rihanna?

Its called Bruno Mars

 

[3phemeral]

The full 5+ minute Venus performance.

Spoiler

I love it more than DWUW.

Not really the same as a singular pop artist but I've read at least two think pieces this year about Mindless Behavior putting the "fun" back into black boy band pop:

Huh, I like Venus a lot actually.

Who's Bruno? The one who blew himself up with a grenade?

Seriously, Grenade was the first and last Bruno song I ever used.

 

[Aguila]

O, I forgot about those. I don't consider Bruno pure pop tho, and that dude from JGMAR is in a band, isn't he? Bands and boy groups are kind of a whole different case.

I just wonder what a non-Justin Bieber clone ( bieber clones are like Conor Maynord and that person that performed at the VMA's) could bring to the table if they knew how to write good pop songs and perform in a totally different style.

o, him

Death at no one mentioning Fist Brown.

His career, its decay.

 

[Partition]

I Wanna Be A Millionaire was the one and only Bruno song I ever used

Stop spilling tea on yourself. Pop AI is significantly higher than it was in 2009.

You can't compare AI across era's unless you take changes into account.

Arte, sis, I've been trying to breed a shiny Bagon for almost a week now. Should I stop? If I do, then all of that effort will go to waste.

Perry is wary of being labelled a role model because they "will fail you. I couldn't tell kids when it's time for them to try things or do things. I mean, that's not my role. But, you know, it's funny. I do see myself becoming this inspiration out of default right now because cause it's such a strange world. Like females in pop - everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see..."

"I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like, 'put it away!' We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for - I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card."

Kiii, she's returning to her roots, innit?

 

[Styles]

Just STFU Perry.

keep trying. your taylor stanning has conditioned you to endure misery

 

[tali'zorah84]

yaaaaaaaaaaas venus

 

[Artemisia]

o at the strongest part of the song again being the prechorus.

 

[Styles]

It's messy.

The bridge is punching though.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

:'(

Venus now available for streaming.

FFFFFFFFFFf

ok gaga, i see you

 

[Supermanisdead]

where can i listen to venus? give me a soundcloud/grooveshark link pls. even a tumblr

 

[Majmun]

I don't know if I like Venus. Sounds like ABBA

 

[Matt_]

Here you go

Venus hasn't grabbed me like the other tracks have. It's decent but it's not an instant smash

I don't know if I like Venus. Sounds like ABBA

You're saying that like it's a bad thing.

 

[Trigger]

It's messy.

The bridge is punching though.

All the bridges on ARTPOP have been punching. It's the choruses that could be stronger.

 

[twobear]

yes, slay. x&y the most iconic coldplay album. inspiring even pokemon. when will pokemon mylo and pokemon xyloto ever come out? never.

I want you to know this post left me deceased and dessicated

 

[Phreaker]

Venus now available for streaming.

I honestly love this and DWUW, but my favs are still ARTPOP and Sexxx Dreams. I can't wait for the album, so excited.

 

[paperheart]

When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
Cause you're out of this world
Galaxy, space, and time
I wonder if this could be love

<3

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Venus is a monster. The NIN-style synth on the bridge, the guitar strumming under that incredible chorus, like ABBA got blasted into space. Kinda Telephone-ish in the delivery. The planet callouts. How she screeches 'don't you know my ass is famous!' Very tongue in cheek and very awesome, probably my top song so far though DWUW's robot production just edges it out.

That harmony on the final chorus. Fuck.

 

[twobear]

Bits of Venus shit. The ABBA chorus shits, I laaahhhhve it. The verse is good (the 'venus' bits are still lol). The bridges sound out of place.

She needs to write a damn consistent song, damn.

 

[Bladenic]

Didn't care for Venus that much at first listen, hopefully it shall grown on me.

 

[Artemisia]

I would rate Venus a 7/10.

 

[Hige]

I think it sounds way better if you get rid of the "take me to your planet" part leading into the chorus. Takes about 30 seconds out of the song. The verse to bridge transition still sounds disjointed, though.

 

[Matt_]

I hope Chris Brown goes to prison

and stays there so I never have to hear about his disgusting ass again

Noooooo

That's my favorite part.
