Turn in your gay/stan card

I don't have a gay card! I also would not consider myself a Sam Sparro stan. >_>
when can I expect The Goat to release her vomit today
Hopefully never. I'd heard that song so many times previously and I can't believe this was the song people think will be the summer hit.
EDIT: Wait, it's up right now!

I've never even HEARD OF HIM.
Pop over for some sex
Then you can LEAVE.
Totes just saw this.
Sam Sparro is definitely Pop. "Wish I Never Met You" sounds like it could be a close cousin of Robyn's Body Talk production.
His vocals are very misleading. But I definitely would consider him Pop.

How could you have not heard it if you live here? Are you as old as Madonna??
It was EVERYWHERE ;_;
Everywhere you went it was playing SOMEWHERE.
IN YOUR FACE ALL THE TIME
I still haven't listened to Body Talk either boys, I'm playing a lot of Robyn tracks though (as in, the album).

In more news on Quality performers...
Looks like Mariah is still logging in those hours at HOTlanta's recording studios:
She's been bunkered down with Jermaine Dupri and his crew for about two months now (I think?). Seems like she's taking her time and putting a lot of quality time into this era. The album is going to be fire.
And all this Jermaine Dupri means we're definitely getting more Urbanriah next album.

She looks old. The curly hair has got to go.
She puts her all in every era/album. No flaws, no games, just perfection and 10000000000000% dedication to her craft.

And that's WITHOUT the second leg
She better come to Orlando 2nd leg. I went on the Confessions and Sticky and Sweet LA your dates, i dont wanna miss this one, need to be consistent like these tour sales.
I'm ready for another Britney appearance too tbh
And all this Jermaine Dupri means we're definitely getting more Urbanriah next album.
Which is funny because there had been talk / rumors about her doing stuff more like the first three albums. Then again, she worked with Dupri as early as Daydream and that's not exactly the most urban album around.
Personally I'd prefer some of both Popriah and Urbanriah, though.
I'm here for this cockblocking Where Have The Hits Been
Where Have the Hits Been has other potentials to worry about.

Apparently Dark Side is being released to radio in June
This album has such long wait times between singles. Mr. Know it All was last September and Stronger was January
Can't see why not, she's huge.
Oh I believe, it's just not many singers can pull two successful comebacks. Memoirs was a flop right?
Edit: Damn JUNE?! I mean Stronger is still slaying right now but it's slayage is getting close to its end, May would have made much more sense.
Well so much for that shade.

ooooooh yesssss
I'm 16 minutes in and it is slaying me so much.

I was gonna PM this to you, but I figured it would be appropriate for the thread.
So I was out at a bar with an old friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while. (same bar that the Mariah stan war occurred in weeks ago). Studied voice at Princeton, so he's real snobby about vocals (kinda like you
). I was picking his brain about some current acts, and I asked him who was impressing him vocally in Pop music lately.His response?
....Katy Perry
He didn't attempt to defend her lazy chest voice and belt range, which was what I took issue with. But he insisted - insisted - that she has the most beautiful and "correctly applied" head voice of any female currently in the industry. And the guy knows his shit, so I feel inclined to listen to her albums to see if I can hear what he's hearing. But...her music is just so terrible.
And later on in the conversation, when I was drunk enough to ask his opinion my fave Xtina's technique, his response reminded me of you:
"Well, her technique isn't nearly as bad as Adele's. All of her support comes from her throat..."
At which point some drunken queen listening in on our conversation chimed in with "OMG YES I LOVE HER BUT SHE'S DESTROYING HER VOICE!"
Two other guys joined in, and together we came to the conclusion that Adele's got 1 more album and a tour of singing the way she does before her vocals are cooked.
Made me think of you.

what. the fuck.
She already had an operation to correct her bad vocal choices.
She can sing her face off to be sure. She's just doing it wrong.
Zero what the fuck here.

She's no Mariah, but worse than Perry?
By that standard, I'm "singing better" than her by not singing at all.

That awkward moment when I was living between Sydney and Melbourne for six months in 2008 before I went back to Uni.
Okay, first, royalan, shut up talking and watch that Whitney Houston video. Cleanse thyself from Katy Perry.
... I didn't even know what her head voice sounds like until I just looked it up. I'm not seeing what's impressing him so much, though? Did you hear it? I was just looking up random range clips, and it sounds like pretty normal female falsetto, not even connected head voice.
I mean I'm not saying that it is bad, but comparing her airy falsetto (and without any apparent ability to sustain it or do anything with it) to Beyonce's connected and versatile head voice seems a bit... off to me. I mean compare Beyonce to Leona here and I honestly think Beyonce is better for most of it; she's got a fuller and more connected sound.
Do you agree with him? I mean I don't want to dismiss what he's saying out of hand since he should be far more qualified than I am (e.g., not at all), but I just don't get it.
We did talk about this! Girl's no Dusty Springfield, despite those lies she's been whispered.

You're not understanding what he's saying.
She has a great voice.
"He didn't attempt to defend her lazy chest voice and belt range"
He only complimented her head voice. No one with any knowledge would defend the rest.
