I was looking for a gif of this part

I had to slow ha down in After Effects.

 

[You Know Nothing]

I don't see it for them.

But the alber cover is nice I guess.

 

[Never Forever]

Oh my god

But 1989, as she explains, is shorter on the “jilted, sad, pining”. Instead, “it’s the phase after that, when you go out into the world and make changes in your life on your own terms, make friends on your own terms, without [literally] saying ‘C’mon girls, we can do it on our own!’”

1989 could be Taylor's Beyoncé, a statement of female power

Full of tunes that make you get up and dance too

No pining and wandering disconsolately

Truly the anti-Lana Del Rey

 

[You Know Nothing]

I'm down for an album full of empowering bangerz.

End me, Lord.

 

[Mau ®]

The Lord adressing the Roy's of the world in that flawless interview.

1989 will be ha CONCEPT alberm

 

[SaintZ]

The way she sees it, there’s a gender element to such scrutiny. “I really resent the idea that if a woman writes about her feelings, she has too many feelings,” she says. “And I really resent the ‘Be careful, buddy, she’s going to write a song about you’ angle, because it trivialises what I do. It makes it seem like creating art is something you do as a cheap weapon rather than an artistic process. They can say whatever they want about my personal life because I know what my personal life is, and it involves a lot of TV and cats and girlfriends. But I don’t like it when they start to make cheap shots at my songwriting. Because there’s no joke to be made there.”

Did she really call her songwriting art?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Do you guys think she's gonna do more stuff like I Knew You Were Trouble?

It's basically confirmed

Songwriting is an artistic process.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Either all music is art (yes even Farrah Abraham's audio abortions) or none of it is.

So lettuce not today. Arbitrarily assigning criteria to what makes something art is pointless because everyone will have a different view of what that criteria should be.

 

[Booty Patrol]

Is there a problem?

 

[Servbot24]

I'm not sure there's a pop artist alive that would hesitate to refer to their craft as an art, and they'd all be justified in doing so. Making art is not special.

Well said.

Most people seem to conflate "I like this" with "this is art" and "I don't like this" with "this isn't art"

If you don't like it, it's still art. It's just art you don't like.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

That's great, it's not my favorite song on Red but I want to see her try that style more.

There's a fine line between art and shit though and some artists straddle that line more than others.

 

[Never Forever]

And I hate you for your lies and your covers
And I hate us for making good love to each other
And I love making you jealous but don't judge me
And I know that I'm being hateful but that ain't nothing
That ain't nothing
I'm just jealous
I'm just human
Don't judge me

 

[Dr. Malik]

one of the best moments in self-titled

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

All alone and I'm feeling wanted
Try to wait but my body's calling, you're the one so why don't
You come and rescue me,
I'll be here while you on your way, counting down till I see your face,
Hurry up cause I love the way you rescue me.
Now your're here, come on out, the rain soaking wet
Body glistening, finally we could do something so rescue me,
Can't believe how it's going down,
I'm so obsessed with this love I found it got my head spinning
Round and round just Rescue Me.

Fifth Harmony is perched to pounce on all your favs weaves this weekend.

Sure, and pigs can fly.

No there's not. Art is not special. It's not something to be proud of. It's not good or bad by definition, it's just a thing that exists.

Being proud of being an artist is like being proud of owning a hat. Anyone can get a hat. No one gives a shit if you have a hat. They might notice it if you wear it really well, and they might make fun of you if you look like an idiot. Either way no one can say that you're not a hat-wearer, but that's really just a pointless attribute.

I know what you're saying yeah but if I wanna say an artist and their song is shit I will. Taylor Swift's song is shit and the video is shit.

But she's got a new hat.

I had a dream last night that I ran into RuPaul (out of drag) on the street, and he had some amazing-looking pancakes that he shared with me. I pulled out my phone and posted on twitter "Mama Ru. Ha generosity." I've been reading too much PopGAF before bed... XD

Anaconda is fantastic, so much better than Pills n Potions. Still hoping for a Starships/Pound the Alarm/Va Va Voom style bop.

I'm wavering between being perched for the VMAs and sort of underwhelmed. Where do we go from the four month pop culture train wreck thrust upon us by the Vyrus and Robin Thicke last year? (Sorry, no good shade names came to mind but he's still a gross embarrassment). But you never know when those little moments can happen, so I'll be tuning in regardless.

Also so fucking excited for the Robyn EP ;_;

 

[cory64]

What up pop, brace yourself as I ride on top
Close your eyes as you ride, right out your socks
Double, lose his mind as he grind in the tunnel
Wanna gimme the cash he made off his last bundle
Nasty-girl don't pass me the world
I push the V, not the backseat girl
Don't deep throat the C-note she float
Murder she wrote, and keeps the heat close

get into this artpop

and its iconic remix

iggy and azealia could never

 

[Courage]

Do y'all think Rita Ora will blow up in the US eventually?

 

[cory64]

why does such an iconic album have such a shitty title on the cover?

[Never Forever]

Less than 24 hours until Bey and Nicki perform the Flawless remix at the VMAs and then drop it on iTunes!

But seriously I think she's performing an album medley, including the life-giving Jealous. Get hype, sistren

EDIT: Also, have we seen Iggy Azalea falling off the stage?

ARTPOP Act II re-confirmed

You do NOT want to hear what she told people backstage.

Spoiler

She's putting out new ARTPOP music, dropping the app so she can focus on the music only, and doesn't care if it clashes with cheek to cheek since she knows her fans love new music. It'd also allegedly very dark and more experimental than the tracks on ARTPOP

but Gaga said it so it'll be forgotten about or dropped in a months time

I'm replaying Persona 4 Golden and I forgot how catchy the OST is, sle Shoji Meguro

So basically like BTW? It sounds like she's going back to that.

 

[Vazduh]

Random thought: I wish Amanda Blank still made music.

Five years later and I Love You is still a bop-fest.

Amanda Blank - Might Like You Better
Amanda Blank - DJ
Amanda Blank - Big Heavy
Amanda Blank - Make-up (Vanity 6 cover)

And she also featured on Spank Rock's dirty epic, Bump.

She should move on from ARTPOP and just make a fresh album, IMHO. This era was sadly too messy and unfocused.

 

[Mau ®]

Rumored setlist for beyoncé's VMA performance. She's doing the whole self-titled in under 15 minutes, it seems.

EDIT: I wonder who is gonna give her the award? Will it be Jay? Mhhmmmm

I know it will never happen, but I'm always here for new music.

The beat on Ariana's "One Last Time" is pretty catchy.

Also:

An utter mess.

I don't see the lie tho. That is not a very flattering picture of those querls.

Shake it Off is a pretty good popsong on paper. Too bad it's sung by Taylor Swift, so it'll never enter my playlist.

Nicki's Anaconda slays btw.

Not even getting my hopes up for that. It'll just be another point on the betrayals list I don't know if other pop queens have this problem but Gaga really should keep her mouth shut about things that aren't 100%. It's just disappointing. I would rather not know that there were 75+ possible songs on ARTPOP, because now I'll just be wondering if those other 65 songs were better.

After this wait, it best eviscerate.

Also, this picture is everything.
