Toph 375 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I admit, sure, her voice is a bit strong for Jazz on the album, but she's not trying to be anyone else but herself. Ella would be proud, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,403 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The review is mostly personal attack, aside from the thing about her voice. But, I mean, that's her ****ing voice. You can't please 'em all, I guess. Especially not some hipster blog that should really just stuck to reviewing the edgy indie music they love so much. Next! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewStevens 5,249 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The list is a mess. Some of those albums are not bad at all. Even Paula is a decent album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk96 2,526 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Slant who? Who cares what they have to say. They're not no f*cking Rolling Stone or a music publication that ACTUALLY matters. Where do they think they have the right to say anything's good or bad when I've never heard of them up until I became a member on GGD? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroatiaGeisha 19 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 DAMN The tone used in that paragraph is completely out of line. I don't know what it is about celebrities where people think it's ok to be as cruel as they want... especially when judging something as harmless as a music cd?! Even if you hate the material, all critiques should conform to a certain standard of civility. The fact that this kind of list even exists is really sad. I don't even care about Gaga's reviews but it shocks me that these kinds of personal attacks are allowed by Slant. I feel like writing them a letter.

Nemo 4,293 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The last sentence kinda hurtsI disagree -- the last sentence is the one that marks the reviewer as an asshole whose opinions aren't worth considering. Up to that point, he was merely wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBoot 27 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Normally I'd be calling people out for getting too sulky and butthurt over a bad review -- but Slant having the TOP ELEVEN for the sake of including it is pretty ridiculous. Who the hell makes a "top 11" list? They could have just had a top 10 and pulled some honorable mentions out of their butt instead. Plenty to choose from this year.

uo111 5,261 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 who the fu@k gives a sh!t what slant says? The world overwhelmingly disagrees. P.S. Who does a list of 11? Usually it would be 10. Did they make it 11 just to include her? They literally did They admit it in the Guetta 'review' "There were plenty of deserving nominees for our list of the worst albums of the 2014. There were so many worthy aspirants, in fact, that we couldn't in good conscience limit ourselves to just 10." Gaga ha impact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 7,495 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well...at least Gaga doesn't hire amateure 'critics' to write in her magazine. I mean the writer is clearly a hater who somehow (who knows how...lol) got a chance to write there. Plus, he seems to have huge knowledge about music I guess, 800,000+ sales, a Grammy nomination and overwhelming critical acclaim beg to disagree... :emma: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
