It’s everything I needed and more, I took a day to just listen to the album in its entirety before coming online and I’m so glad I did because I didn’t want other peoples opinions shaping mine

"Lonely as the streets pass me by Life ain't under pressure Cuz I got a plan Starin' at myself in the eye"

Omfg it's so MJ, her vocals are amazing. Queen understands the assignment.

"AND MY VOICE GETS TOUGH" 😭 

So much funk I'm gonna explode.

"Sha da dow sha da do oh (Shadow of a man)" such a Gaga post chorus I'm obsessed 💜

@PartySick helppp which MJ song does this remind me of? some parts are kinda Smooth Criminal :bradley:

and that kickdrum(?) has a Billie Jean shuffle to it

Idk :kry: 

I've gone from Workin' Day and Night to Smooth Criminal to Slave to the Rhythm to Shout to Hold My Hand to freaking Breaking News :flop: nothing hits it specifically but you're right, there is a song that sounds like it. I feel like it might be a Jacksons song though and I'm not familiar enough with their 100+ song catalog to just immediately know it :saladga: 

It's so funny that everyone says this song specifically has MJ vibes but I hear MJ vibes through the whole album and this song makes me think more of Britney Spears and Madonna's collab :sharon: which, to be fair, also has MJ vibes 'cause both of them are stans...wahhhhh.

gurl let’s bump ya because you serve too much c-ness to be in the second page.

I’m not over how she gagged me. based on the snippet I was expecting something totally different I guess more acoustic, more Edge of Glory and it’s the opposite, it’s the most retro-futuristic and “cool” track of the record. the post-disco and the 90’s licks I was NOT EXPECTING.

SHE COOKED HER NACHOS FROM SCRATCH like Nara Smith with this song.

:pawsup::holdmyhand::firega:

This is one of her best songs EVER. A top 10 for sure, maybe even a top 5.... It's sooo good! And I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of the Chromatica Ball snippet, but holy ****! This song is pure pop perfection.

I saw that but it's not giving me Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', more so general Thriller (album) vibes :diane:

Hate you?! :chica: 

I'm frustrated that it makes me think of one song in particular but I still can't think of what it is :lmao: literally hundreds of songs to compare it to :giveup: 

But yeah, the breakdown of WBSS and chorus of Smooth Criminal are the most accurate comparisons so far
