Katy Griffin I want you to reject anyone or anything that ever made you feel like you don’t belong, or don’t fit, or that you are not good enough, or pretty enough, or that you cannot sing well enough OR THAT YOU WILL NEVER WIN A GRAMMY CAUSE YOU ARE A GODDAMN SUPERSTAR AND YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY

such an amazing performance, those who get it get it

This is her best album!!!

This feels like Kidz Bop goes Bangerz

2 hours is ridiculous and it isn't a one time thing with her. It's disrespectful to everyone involved not just the fans like the dancers, cleaning crews, sound and lighting and camera technicians

Wtf, her old music >>>>> her new music.

Also Shakira:

Joaquin Phoenix, Elliott Gould, Chloe Fineman and more than 150 other Jewish creatives have signed an open letter in support of Jonathan Glazer’s Oscars speech. The list of 151 signees obtained by Variety also includes Phoenix’s sister Rain, three-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger, “May December” director Todd Haynes, “Sorry to Bother You” helmer Boots Riley, acclaimed filmmaker Joel Coen, “Room” director Lenny Abrahamson, “Arrested Development” star David Cross, documentarian Amy Berg, “Barbie” actor Hari Nef, legendary playwright Tom Stoppard, former Focus Pictures CEO James Schamus, comedian Kate Berlant, “You Hurt My Feelings” director Nicole Holofcener, “Secrets & Lies” auteur Mike Leigh, “Passages” filmmaker Ira Sachs, “Gossip Girl” actor and writer Tavi Gevinson, “The Princess Bride” actor Wallace Shawn, “Bottoms” director Emma Seligman, “Mistress America” star Lola Kirke, “Zola” helmer Janicza Bravo, “Broad City” stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson and IndieWire film critic David Ehrlich. Variety has reached out to personal representatives for many of the signatories, as well as independently reviewed documents confirming their participation. In a statement to Variety, Ilana Glazer said, “I signed this letter to help counter the climate of silencing that many workplaces and industries are facing around Israel’s war on Gaza, now entering its seventh month. This controversy surrounding Jonathan Glazer is just one example.” Added Schamus, “It has been weeks since Jonathan Glazer’s acceptance speech at the Academy Awards, but, as we’re reminded by this week’s unconscionable killing of seven World Center Kitchen aid workers — and of countless more Palestinian civilians — his plea for humanity has only become more urgent, as has our duty as Jewish creatives to protest the vicious smear campaign waged against him.” After Glazer’s Holocaust drama “The Zone of Interest” won the Oscar for best international feature at the March 10 ceremony, the director used his speech to address the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. “All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, but rather look what we do now. Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s shaped all of our past and present,” Glazer said. “Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people. Whether the victims of October — whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?” His words were met with both backlash and praise. In an open letter published on March 18, over 1,000 Jewish creatives and execs denounced Glazer’s speech for helping to fuel “growing anti-Jewish hatred around the world,” while others like director Ken Loach have come to his defense by calling his statement “brave” and “hugely valuable.” Glazer has yet to publicly address the backlash to the speech, but earlier this week the director donated seven signed “Zone of Interest” posters to a Cinema for Gaza auction raising money for Medical Aid for Palestinians. “We are Jewish artists, filmmakers, writers and creative professionals who support Jonathan Glazer’s statement from the 2024 Oscars. We were alarmed to see some of our colleagues in the industry mischaracterize and denounce his remarks,” the open letter reads. “Their attacks on Glazer are a dangerous distraction from Israel’s escalating military campaign which has already killed over 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza and brought hundreds of thousands to the brink of starvation. The letter continues, “The attacks on Glazer also have a silencing effect on our industry, contributing to a broader climate of suppression of free speech and dissent, the very qualities our field should cherish. Glazer, Tony Kushner, Steven Spielberg and countless other artists of all backgrounds have decried the killing of Palestinian civilians. We should all be able to do the same without being wrongly accused of fueling antisemitism.” “We honor the Holocaust by saying: Never again for anyone,” the statement concludes. Variety.com

None of y'all are correct you're just posting albums you personally got tired of

It being feminist or anti-feminist is a non-issue. The beauty of a song like the original Jolene is just how vulnerable and raw it is. It's not meant to be social commentary, it's meant to be earnest.

That is my recovering caffeine addict aunt Susan at the office Halloween party.

When asked by Evans which aspects of her earlier songs make her “wince” now that she’s nearly 30 years into her career, Shakira replied, “so many things.” “I think I used to overdo the cries in my voice,” she continued, before replicating her old style: “‘Lo de lo de lo de’ — it’s too much. I think I was exaggerated. Too much, Shakira.” “I noticed that after my pregnancies, my voice got thicker, more rounded, more full,” she added. “My choices are more mature. I have evolved as a woman, as a person. My intellect has evolved.”

Joy Behar has labeled music legend Dolly Parton's hit "Jolene" as anti-feminist following the release of Beyoncé's 2024 reinterpretation of the 1973 classic. "I like the subject of Beyoncé taking over the lyrics," the 81-year-old told her View producer Brian Teta on Wednesday's episode of the Behind the Table podcast. "Because the original thing with Dolly Parton is so, like, anti-feminist, worrying about some good-looking woman taking your man. If it's so easy to take your man, then take him." She went on the praise Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter iteration of "Jolene," which shifts the narrative of Parton's version. Instead of pleading with a potential mistress not to take her man, Beyoncé's take on the tune lands more as a warning than an emotional plea. "You don't want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else. You heard me," Beyoncé sings on the track. "Beyoncé says, if you take my man, you're going to be in a lot of trouble. I say, go ahead, take my man. Take him," Behar observed. source

She heard pop sensation Jojo Siwa’s “karma” today and is contemplating responding to one of DJWS emails about act 2 I see

First Brooklyn Nights and now this. Oh ACT II is definitely coming

Did the train blow up or something

Chromatica aged like a fine wine. I would say The Fame

I must say, while I love Madonna, and I attended the Celebration Tour, her start times are a little ridiculous. My show started at 11:00pm when it was advertised as 8:30pm. My boyfriend and I parked our car at a garage down the street from the arena, which had a closing time of midnight. We thought for sure that we'd be out by then, hence our reasoning for parking there. We ended up having to walk the streets in the freezing cold, find a hotel room, and pay way more money than we were anticipating for the trip. Thank god we had enough charge on our phones to last the night. I knew beforehand that Madonna usually came on late, but I thought that was an hour late at most. I can completely understand why the fans sued her. Love her, but she has to realize this is ridiculous.

but not enough intellect to pay taxes

She’s watching the sky burn Bradley Cooper’s eyes

Unless it's about distasteful lyrics or disturbing details concerning the artist we have in hindsight, I don't believe in music "aging poorly."

Earthquake got her memory shaking

Yes, but just the song, not Gaga.

she needs hits first to have a greatest hits. theory deubnked /thread

Gaga is a celebrity for the celebrities and she is a literal angel

but why didn't she say anything back in november

Her accountants:

Gaga go on with the flow and remember the Chromatica Ball Film

Ask about the TCB film before she belts the final note of La Vie En Rose.

This is the worst act of homophobic violence I've ever seen

Say what you will but the song is catchy AF and tbh, the video at least had a story and was more interesting than My Oh My

Girl bye. literally all your older work shits on any of your new stuff everything after Oral Fixation 2 is kinda… questionable.

not her apologilizing for her distinctive style that made her stand out while releasing maybe the most cringy and generic stuff she has ever put out, it seems other ppl have really brainwashed her..

Can she shut up, like...

Orville's new era begins with the first duet to be released from his upcoming album "Stampede" Willie Nelson remains the GOAT

Some of us always have been

At this pace it would make sense for Beyoncé to release LG7 before Gaga does.

Señora ya siéntese.
