I was waiting for some sort of twist at the end to make it sound empowering: "I'm UGLY but I can WERK it, etc."

But it never came

I can only hope the verses were a little bit less depressing

just.................... this era for them was just not good, I Am the Best was the best song in the new album.

sputum-flecked apoplexy

if only the production on the actual track were that good


Beyonce's live performance game can't be clockedt by anyone currently in the industry, but with that said she does something that makes a lot of her live performance near-unlistenable to me: she loooooves singing with that DAMN reverb/echo filter turned ALL THE WAY UP on her mic. It makes it sound like there's always 3 other Beyonces harmonizing with her. It's grating to me, because her voice doesn't need all of that.

Oh, and overdoing the runs, as illustrated in point #7 in that vid I linked above. She's just as bad as Christina in that regard.

having seen both beyoncé and janelle monáe at glastonbury last year, i was actually more impressed with jm

Here are the Kweens of the UK The Saturdays, everyone loves to hate on them mostly because they are the Kmart version of Girls Aloud(or the human B-Side of Girls Aloud more like it) but idc idc (plus they cant dance much, but they do sing great live except Frankie who should just not open her mouth and look pretty)

This Godney praise is so beautiful.

Blackout » In The Zone » Femme Fatale

I think FF is overall more consistent than ITZ, but ITZ has higher HIGHs (i.e. Toxic >>> *). Blackout is untouchable of course. The blueprint of all pop albums post-2007.

You went there.

The Circus Tour was amazing IMO. Only lacking thing there was Britney but she still pulled off some good performances.

The Femme Fatale tour however was not very good imo. I went to both.

I sort of like the effect. You know how I feel about the basic timbre of her voice, and I feel like it improves from that just because it makes her sound more full. To each his own!

Well. Two things. One, I don't think Beyonce's most egregiously bad sort of examples of tasteless melisma are as bad as Christina's. That said, I do agree that she can go overboard. And secondly, I don't find it as bad when Beyonce holds out one run (usually); I think her bigger problem is when she does this and makes every word - minor exaggeration alert - into a run.

We will achieve 3000 posts by tomorrow if things keep on this pace.

With upcoming music by Xtina dropping real soon, I think the shade levels up in here will make us reach the next milestone (4K) in no time.

I just listened and I'm not really hearing it, though maybe you're talking about something else.

do you people just listen to suburban Top 40 radio stations or what

this is ridiculous

Hey, I live in the suburbs :(

But I haven't listened to the radio regularly in about two years

Gaga and Britney are just the whitest, most generic radio pop. It's "music" devoid of any passion, direction, or reason.
Bring on the hate, children.

I mean, half the girls in the OP haven't had a radio hit in years and some are actually pretty good. The only excuse for not having heard of them is if you live under a boring, depressing, musically uninteresting rock.

Bitch, Britney and GaGa (as much as I dont like her) are Top Tier Pop™

You should be coming for Ke$ha and Perra, not these Goddesses of Pop.

The Holy Spearit is the most progressive, visionary and innovative pop goddess on the planet. Your tears of envy are her very life elixir and will only serve to make her more powerful and formidable so just keep weeping them for all eternity. She drinks them up until there is nothing left of you but an empty soulless husk.

Let's just hope she cracks the TOP 5 first. With the new BB rules, it's gonna be impossible for her frontloaded ass to get another #1 hit on debut sales alone
