StrawberryBlond 14,888 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 - All of Adele's albums are way overrated, her songwriting is very basic, paint-by-numbers stuff, she doesn't experiment and it all sounds very samey. - Dua Lipa's music has got better but it's still quite generic and safe and I don't see why Future Nostalgia is gaining so much critic praise. - Every Lana Del Rey album is a masterpiece and she is one of, if not the greatest songwriter of this generation and deserves so much more credit, awards and praise for what she's contributed to the music industry. - Christina Aguilera's Bionic album is decent and not the mess people make it out to be (that would be Lotus). - Taylor Swift's songwriting may have got better but with Folklore and Evermore, so many of her production blends all these songs into one and bar my most most favourites, I can barely remember any melody across these 2 albums. - Beyonce's best album is Dangerously In Love (closely followed by Lemonade, in case you're wondering). - Ariana's last 3 albums really haven't been all that and can't top Dangerous Woman. 21 hours ago, HausOfAntonio said: Future Nostalgia would be great if its entirety weren’t COMPLETELY undermined by the diabolically questionable two final tracks. Makes you second guess her taste level imo. I hate Good In Bed as well (seriously, what was she thinking?!) but I thought Boys Will Be Boys was a highlight and brilliantly expressed a lot of the annoyances and concerns I have as a feminist woman. What issues did you have with it? The only bit I don't like is the vague way she says "we needs to stop saying things" and her enunciation of "girls will be women" but that's it.

For one I think that its a bad song musically. The children at the end are so tacky But also its the sort of uber-capitalistic brand of Girl Boss feminism that I’m not particularly a fan of (ie. paints and considers men and women as inherently different, ideologically excludes trans people). Its nitpicky I know but I can’t help it And i know she didn’t mean it like that but it indicates a certain level of feminist engagement thats quite surface level.

FFXIV WhiteMage 5,944 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Gaga doesn’t fit to be an MPG. I feel like she have 2-3 colossal commercial hits and that’s it. She’s does not resonate with the GP other than those instances unlike the other MPGs. She’s not GP popular outside those hits. Hence her commercial performance is one the poorest if compared to Taylor, Adele, Ariana, Katy etc. I mean Beyonce and Rihanna can out stream her nowadays despite the other two being inactive. Her support mostly are from the LMs of which is pretty strong. Gaga is weird and experimental before but she’s not “deep” as most of here claim. However, she’s really brave and vocal and since her star power does not necessarily came from the GP, it doesn’t affect her that much. What truly separate Gaga from the other MPGs and what keeps her afloat in the business is her talentD. Singing, musicality and acting. Oh and business as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and business as well There is so much that is just deluded about this, you dont know what the GP likes nor have you got some kind of measure of the groups that are listening to her music, you'd need to see some graph and figures for that. But Joanne / ASIB / AHS / Cheek to Cheek, have given her a huge fanbase that will never appear on a site like this or on stan twitter, but buy / stream her music. Then you've got her pop / dance records that very seasoned lovers of dance appriciate, you've got her die hard fans, you have metalheads who love her, her fanbase is so far reaching, all of these are outside of LM, and therefore 'General'. How are you defining a Hit? Like a number 1 or a song that was successful and is still loved to this day? Many number ones are totally forgotten now, and many that are now will be soon. Her not being "deep"? What does that even mean, Beyonce's last album literally reached nowhere and Rihanna has no music to compare that to, so this all is just your imagined thoughts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nitpicky I know but I can’t help it And i know she didn’t mean it like that but it indicates a certain level of feminist engagement thats quite surface level. I think songs about politics and social issues are so hard to write well, though. So, I think she does alright, considering. It doesn't necessarily say that men and women should be treated differently, quite the opposite, really. And trans people will naturally associate themselves with male or female. It doesn't really matter what your gender identity is, the world will still view you as male or female and you treat you accordingly regardless. It's a short song and doesn't go too deep but it's head and shoulders above a lot of supposedly feminist songs I've heard over the years that are just as problematic as the sexism they claim to want to stop and don't seem to even understand feminism at all.

Its well intentioned and I see it, but to me the underlying implication especially considering she is referring to children is that gender is something inherent and assigned at birth. I know I’m kinda overanalysing but its just my take on it On another note, trans people may not “eventually identify as either male or female”. They can be gender non-conforming as still identify as trans because they don’t identify with their assigned gender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
