looking back/thinking on it Gaga used to be so FUN when she was in on the joke. I mean she's always been a 'joke character' of sorts, but these days she seems to be taking herself a lot more seriously... how boring.

Oh and Wrecking Ball passed 100 million in a week. Who else is even trying?
Almost twice as many as Applause's 4 week total and Roar's 1.5 week total.

Triley's the new Psy CONFIRMED.

POPGAF who is this girl?

 

[Styles]

When it comes to StubHub ticket sales, Taylor Swift is the top-selling female artist, followed by Beyoncé, Pink, Rihanna, and Carrie Underwood. Swift’s fans are coming to her performances by the carloads as they love her music. In fact Taylor has sold twice the amount of tickets to date as Beyonce, the second-highest top-selling female artist. Wow! That’s amazing!

Putting the numbers into perspective, Taylor Swift has sold more tickets in 2013 than Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, and Selena Gomez combined. Yes, that's a lot of tickets!

[botty]

Frank is fugly.

 

[Aguila]

WOW.

Thank you for introducing me to this gem.

She reminds me of Birdy.

So far listened to Royals and Bravado.

I'm hooked.

I'm probably going to binge on her music now.

What would you recommend I first listen to?

Currently, she only has an EP out. It's called "The Love Club" and it has 5 songs. Listen to that

Then you can check out her second single, Tennis Court

Here is her OT thread for links: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=652095

But I agree with her this time.

Mouth closed and he is OK.

I don't think Frank's pics are controversial, he shirtless and the photos aren't taken in a sexual way.

Agreed.

Everything she does these days just feels so...heavy.

I think the tea Elton John spilled about the dangers of letting your image cloud the music was incredibly hot, potent and true. I have enjoyed the music this era outside of Applause, but then I WAS a little nervous when she said in a recent interview that the studio versions of all the songs she performed at the iTunes festival sound "nothing" like the how they did in the performances.

Triley's the new Psy CONFIRMED.

Seriously? Have you not seen her VMA/GMA performance and her Bravo interview? She's ALWAYS been in on the joke, and she's going out of her way now to SHOW that she's in on the joke since people seem to assume that because she's not winking and laughing on a constant she's suddenly above it all. She's not, she's always been a campy ridiculous bitch and she knows it just as much as we all do, so let's not.

So over people saying she takes herself too seriously. She has a frank conversation about herself when she's asked about it frankly. There's nothing wrong with being passionate about what you do. And yes, when the mood is light then she is light as well.

no. There is a certain... air to her that's changed. You know how Psy is seen as a massive joke? He knows this, and he is cool w/ it and just does his thing w/o bogging any of it down with shit. Gaga used to have that vibe to her, but she doesn't anymore. There used to be a spark to her that's gone, now.

it's like Triley - roy and botty bang on about how she 'knows what she's doing' but I don't see that. I see no self-awareness in anything that she's doing. It all comes across like she's doing what she thinks is 'the way' to do it to achieve something success. I honestly don't see anything Triley does as her 'being young and having fun' because it doesn't translate in her performances. She doesn't come hard enough for me to take her seriously and she doesn't seem carefree enough for me to sit in awe of how bad a bitch she is. She just stumbles around, looking like she's desperate for any attention. Any attention.

kind of like present Gaga.

in the past Gaga was so far above criticism because she didn't seem to care and either came a hard or seemed to be having FUN... she was an 'outcast' and gave no fucks. Now, she comes across like she wants acceptance. And it's like... bleh.

Nicki minaj wants to work with Shakira & J.Lo on her next album

Nicki Minaj is hard at work on what will be her next album material, so the singer has stated she would love to do some collaborations with Latin artists. Shakira and Jennifer Lopez are some of the names that have been released so far, as both are the most successful singers of Latin music. Shakira is known in every corner of the planet and J.Lo has already earned a name in Hollywood. Apparently, Shakira and Nicki Minaj have already recorded a song together. Although so far nothing has been confirmed. While Minaj finishes her next album, she has has recently appeared in the video for I Wanna Be With You and Clappers in collaboration with colleagues from the U.S. Hip Hop.

So the album of the year "Nothing Was The Same (For Your Fave's Careers)" has leaked.

I won't be DLing it because I already preordered it on iTunes. He's the only girl this year getting my coins.

Nonetheless I hope his stans here DMJ, Bladenic and Trigger enjoy ha.

Uh I c the shade. I'm buying it, the leak was LQ anyway.

Also trigger please tell me you did not compare Royals to call me maybe. They are not even remotely similar.

Count Contessa

I love that she went back to the 90s house production with this track. The beat is nice.

But her delivery is straight fermented booty. Just awful. All of her recent flows just come of as derivative of her 1991 stuff.

 

[Touchdown]

So I just heard the radio edit of Work Bitch on the radio and the dj said the name of the song was "Work" and in place of every bitch word there is another "work". "You better work work."

This. I wasn't feeling this song mainly for Azealia's delivery. She sounds weird, almost like a robot or something.

Also

Ok Azealia

Also I like Work Bitch a lot more now. Bless Kyonsus for his generosity

The beat is really a delight, its so upbeat and chill
Her vocals didn't really gel at first but I'm on the third listen and have already gotten used to it. Nothing to write home about though

She just uploaded a NSFPG picture on her instagram, not sure if it's from a magazine shoot she did or some promo for this song. She looks good though

Britney Spears’ Producer Wants Lady Gaga on Her New Single

Producer Jean Baptiste said that he thinks Lady Gaga should hop on a remix of the new Britney Spears single, "Work Bitch". The producer, who is working on Britney Spears' eighth studio album, took to Facebook on Sunday to let everybody know that it's time for the pair to collaborate, saying he wants a "Goddess of the Universe remix" of the Otto Knows and will.i.am produced track, featuring Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Madonna. We posted earlier this year why we think Britney and Gaga should collaborate and got a great reaction, but would you be down for them collaborating with other artists in the process? Let us know what you think!

No. No. No. No.

Watch her Fame-era interviews. She literally chastised a Norweigan interviewer for not taking her seriously. In fact, she even called him a sexist and said that if she if were a man saying the same things she was saying, she would be taken seriously. She then went on about what inspired her, and how she's constantly aware of pop music trends and how she has that "intuition." She closed that interview saying "I'm a rockstar." Would she say that now? Nope.

Saying she takes herself more seriously now than before is complete and utter bullshit. I have watched literally every major (and minor) interview she has given since her character's conception and there is absolutely no indication to me that she takes herself more seriously now than before. In fact, I can say with confidence that she's let go of coming off in a certain "I'm amazing" light on a constant because she has less to prove with it.

Just last week she was telling Andy Cohen how she liked dick, and when a caller called her a fashion icon she smirks and says "not tonight." She joked, "if you do too much molly you might end up like me." She makes fun of herself NOW exponentially more than she ever did, and I'm so tired of seeing so many people run with the mantra of "she takes herself sooo seriously now" coz it's completely false. Gaga's fully aware that she came off wrongly during the Born This Way era and has gone out of her way to be less deadpan with her ridiculousness, because evidently people weren't getting it.

So staaaahp. lol

Beyonce at Rock in Rio:

Beysus is UNMATCHED as a performer.

That cannot be contested.

She never fails to wow me.

What a TOTAL PERFORMER.

SUBLIME.

This was perhaps the most boring thing I've watched all year, and I saw that Itune LG mess. Bey needs to do better. She looked bored. She hardly sang. I didn't expect much dancing. I did, however, expect full songs. Im not sure why every song needed a costume change. Ugh, why Bey? I cut it off halfway through. Maybe the second half gets better.
