Don't pay too much attention to Metacritic

Well mostly yes but lemonade don't deserve 93 not even in oblivia 

Perfect example, it's a good album, but it's far from the greatest album of all time, or even in the top ten. I think Bey's visual presentations makes reviewers go easier on her.

Well Born This Way has a lower score than Revival because metacritic inputted  29 more reviews than it that would affect its score. Some reviewer also gave it a 0 but I've heard that the review was positive so I'm a little bewildered by it. 

 

Yes, this is exactly is what is wrong with judging things by MC scores, some albums have very few reviews compared to other albums. We all know that while a cute album, Glory (14 reviews) is definitely not better than Blackout (24 reviews).

Then there's the bias of reviewers themselves towards artists. For example when people review Gaga's albums they tend to focus on her personal life and authenticity instead of the music itself. Joanne for example was criticized by some for not being authentic, but we all know that if that exact same album had a different name attached to it, then Joanne would be much highly regarded.  Then how could we forget that terrible and unjust score of 0 that was counted towards Gaga's BTW score. 

 

This too! Talking about Britney (again), but Blackout was reviewed amongst Britney backlash and public personal problems. Whereas Glory was reviewed during a quieter time after everything had slowed down for her, so less critics sharpening their knives as well. Same for Lana del Rey - Born to Die is a good, classic album, but it was released during a time when the critical media was deeply annoyed about her "indie, but not really indie" thing, but they finally calmed down and gave Honeymoon good scores (her most forgettable album IMO).

I can't be racist, I'm 1/4 Mexican, but there seems to be a bias. Maybe it's more about genre than race? 

It can't be about race sis no shade no tea cuz there are some alternative rock albums(by white singers)  that have like 90/87 scores on average and imo they definitely aren't better than btw or TFM lol and I wasn't implying you're racists sis :diane: I honestly think metacriric is just messy cuz there are biased reviewers

There's a genre bias then. Pop albums are rarely praised or get score above 8.0, and women have a harder time.

Yes I agree reviewers are biased :madge: like that one reviewer that was mocking Gaga calling us and her freaks and gave a low score based on ARTPOP when it had nothing to do with Joanne's  music :madge:

Start worrying about Katy, and stop being negative. It's obnoxious af, you're one of the most toxic members on this site. We've been saying this about metacritic for YEARS.

Maybe it's because some of us have grown up and distinguished what's insignificant and what's not? In my opinion if some fans cared about their own careers as much as they care about Gaga's they'd be immensely successful.

Of the things you listed Katy doesn't have sales Gaga has, the Grammys, which Gaga won in 2015, she's losing radio, her tour will be a downgrade, and her metacritic scores are lower. You need to stop being incessantly negative or find a different hobby.
