IM SHOCKED On a personal note im in shambles bc its the 1 of 3 nights in MTL I'm not going to

Partynauseous being a logical possibility now

Monsters, In various threads for the past day or so, I’ve seen a lot of hate for KFL. I wanted to make a little thread for those of us who LOVE it to celebrate the song together. I think it’s impeccable. That drumroll at the beginning of the song. It gets me so hype, especially when the synths crash in. The synths! The soaring chorus! The way it demands a shoulder dance (as many of her best songs do). The fun bridge! The horns! I love KFL. Shout out to anyone else who does too. (Also DCT, lots of hate for it and it slaps)

Hey guys I'm sorry this took so long lol... DEBUT SINGLE // AVAILABLE NOW https://music.apple.com/gb/album/the-rock-the-star-live-acoustic/1889015261?i=1889015262 <3

Who would have thought somebody in there is streaming "Jewels and Drugs"

Rub that clitoris grease around, rub that clitoris grease around…

IF SHE DOES WONDERFUL OR FOOLED ME AGAIN AT PIANO OR BOW SONG I WILL DIE

I wonder if she’s also going to do Partynauseous then. It’d be amazing if she does Tea or something like that. The amount of studio version tracks she has that we will never hear. Girl do at least Do What U Want solo.

Is like when Brad and Angelina make an appearance in red carpet but everything in home is a mess.

It's a downer sounding. It's a song about her engagement, but it sounds like somebody just died or something. I don't mind the slowness of it all, but the melancholy is a bit much.

because that's not the correct story; PC was made late in the creation and she wanted to scrap the album and start fresh with PC but he encouraged her to keep Mayhem as instead of needing to start again what he did was a good thing otherwise she would fall into another cycle of self doubt and insecurity... he encouraged her to follow her vision that's his only influence on her creative process; encouragement and support or we would be sat here still waiting for LG7

Now which one of you gays will leak Bell Centre's data base for us to get this studio version

It sounds too much like Dope when it should’ve been more like Is That Alright?.

Ok so, lyrically the song is beautiful. I’m sure it’s one of the most important songs from the album to Gaga. But I can’t seem to connect to it and like it because of one main reason: The chorus’s melody. The same old melody of the modern pop era (ex: bad romance, judas, so am I, white mercedes, apt etc…). It just lacks originality and creativity, and for me it cheapens the song and makes me feel like Gaga just slapped on the melody and called it a day. what do you think?

Also, just an observation. Kylie stays relevant to the GP because she doesn’t get lost in herself and take it all so seriously. She has fun with it and does it all with a wink and a smile. Very positive vibe. Cher is the same way.

Ooof trigger warning please mine is framed on my wall haunting me as we speak

This

Thisssssss I love when songs sound happy even though the lyrics are sad. But the other way around..? The song is about something happy and romantic and yet it sounds like she’s deeply traumatized for whatever reason

NO IT DOESN'T

Look at the singular talking point used by political groups when it comes to opposing the following: Free school meals/targeted food suport for children in poverty etc - they say its not the taxpayers responsibility to feed kids, that parents shouldn't have children they can't feed. Children social transitioning in schools & teachers being forced to inform parents even when there are legitimate child safeguarding concerns - they say the children belong to the parents and only parents can make the decision, even when teachers have evidence to support protecting the child from their parents. Bans on smacking children - they oppose it, again, because its not for the state to tell parents how to parent. Even though physical punishment like spankings are proven to be Adverse Childhood Experiences that cause lifelong trauma which costs society millions. Bans on educational materials featuring same-sex couples or any form of sex ed etc - repeatedly argued for decades, and on many occasions banned on the principle that its a parent's responsibility to teach the subjects to children and to actively teach harmful things to children as part of it. Parental responsibility should not be seen as gospel truth. I work with young people in the care system, every single one of those young people are in the system because of failed parents. And there are thousands of kids in the system - in the city based charity I work for we worked with over a 1000 last financial year. So yeah, I don't think we should sit here and palm off all responsibility to parents and ignore it ourselves. I will always think it is selfish because I personally know of 1000s of examples of parents who don't take responsibility. And if we all swallow the selfish libertarian bollocks that we have no responsibility to others in society, especially young people, then we are passively facilitating their neglect and/or abuse. If my colleagues and our organisation didn't exist, it social services didn't exist. We all know what happens to those kids. And it is only because we recognise that for a healthy society to function we all have to pitch in that those young people get any form of support and protection. So yeah, I will always say that whether its our child or not. If we are in a space where a young person can be in accordance with the law and rules of the space that everyone in that space has responsibilities placed on them by society. That applies to kids and adults. Because without the social contract, we are all put at risk. Libertarian ideals are morally repugnant and based on the rejection of personal responsibility to others. They are inseparable from selfishness. And they are the tool of oppressors who seek to isolate, control and abuse those unable to defend themselves.

the merch is for perfect celebrity

Please add this this to TFM, want to stream it

EXCUSE ME WHAT?

accidentality, he's outing so many celebrities, they can all rot, f*cking fascists.

Challenge: find someone who hates Speechless, Yoü And I, Always Remember Us This Way, I’ll Never Love Again or Is That Alright?

I think it sounds like a dirge because it’s an expression of her being afraid of opening herself up to love again, choosing to do so, but also still feeling all of the raw pain of the hurt she’s gone through in her past. Although it’s not the exactly the same, I remember when I realized that I was in love for the first time in a deep way, it was actually painful because I was afraid that I would lose it again and even thinking about admitting how much he mattered to me was overwhelming, so I feel like that’s kind of where’s she’s at in the song. She’s trying to feel hopeful in spite of herself.

Clocked it. It’s because she started the Monster Ball in Montreal. I was wondering why it was ringing a bell and that’s why. Monster Ball 1.0 was started there so she probably wanted to pull something specific to the city which would be something from TMB which would ultimately be this (yeah it’s from 2.0 but I doubt she was thinking that hard about splitting hairs lol)

Don’t forget viva la vida

I love it lyrically but the production and vocals are like "something horrible happened to me, I'm in so much emotional pain and idk how to deal" rather than "Im celebrating finding the love of my life after overcoming emotional hardships" If she had a pleasant vocal delivery like idk Million reasons, Just another day or That's life with a similar production style, it would be kinda a great precursor to DWAS, but it suffers from the same issues as Dope, Till it happens to you and Shallow where she's just destroying her beautiful voice.

It's just corny honestly and if you're not the biggest fan of Michael (like moi ) you're not gonna like a song about their engagement "This is the lawn of memories that I mourn" is straight up a reject Melanie Martinez lyric Definitely the weakest song on the album by a wide margin

Tbh I think it's a combination of what you explained (the chorus sounds way too familiar) and also the way she sings most parts of the song. She uses her voice in a way that I simply dont find appealing... Its like too nasal and almost like she is about to cry/scream (like a baby would???). I find it kind of irritating Pd: (English is not my first language, sorry if I sound too rude trying to explain it. I love gaga its just the way she sings in this song)

It's just that many songs can have the same or similar chords. More and more producers are finding it harder to nail different chords. I'm not complaining about BOG, but I find KFL disjointed and therefore not my type

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why do I feel like some people are hardcore defending this just because she's trans and not anything else? Would anyone jump the same way if it were a cis woman or man? You could say that the people are arguing against this are doing it because she's trans too, but that's not the point here in GGD. I agree that we should show realistic trans bodies, and while this is punk, I think there are better ways to show it. I'd feel a bit strange if ANYONE was flashing their whoo-has on the internet where everyone can see, and aren't purposely looking for it. I would've taken it better if it was censored like in the thread here and shown somewhere else. It's not an end of the world situation, but I think we need to take a step back here and really think about this.

I honestly wish she'd just drop this one on Spotify / Apple Music as a gift. I mean the song is available for ages, and she's taking no coin from the plays. Put this right after Retro Dance Freak on TFM edition

Lemme put my delulu hat on for a sec: omg if this is true, then that means she’s teasing ACT II plus she sang Brooklyn Nights a few months ago, too! She DOES remember ARTPOP, or at least its unreleased tracks. ACT II COMING THIS FALL

I would love if she finally released it officially

Chromatica FINALLY getting its flowers!!! THANK YOU GGD !!! CHROMATICA FOREVERRRRR @Blackout19 WE WONNNNNNNNN

Idcidcidc if I get flagged, this needs to stay in the trendings list because this is THE album of the summer. Run this album uppppp

We can talk about this more than a minute! It was my first Kylie CD and I had it on repeat Her live albums are great in general, but Aphrodite is especially incredible, as well as the tour was. Props to her for releasing a live album for most of her recent tours! Showgirl, US Tour, Aphrodite, Kiss Me Once, Golden and the recent Tension Tour

I feel like CGYOOMH is #1 because it had such an impact in my life, loved it for 20+ years. but... if not that song, then my vote would be Get Outta My Way but also props to All The Lovers, Timebomb, Tension, 2 Hearts, WOW, In My Arms, In Your Eyes, Confide In Me

Like I said in a previous thread, most people don't like it because it sounds like a Coldplay/Imagine Dragons type song (...corny). LOL And if I'm being honest it's not something I listen to regularly, but I like it for how beautiful the instrumental sounds, and I find the blade of grass symbolism to be poetic. I get both sides.

I'll start with your second point. I didn't say it was sexual- I said it was NSFW. Artistic nudity is still nsfw even without sexualisation. NSFW isn't exclusively about sexualised media, it is about recognising that some content isn't appropriate for certain spaces & audiences. Its like how you wouldn't have a zombie film playing on tvs in a hospital waiting room - there is nothing wrong with a zombie film (although most are ****), its just not appropriate in the context. This kind of imagery shouldn't be accessible in a space without content moderation & filtration as unexpected nudity can be triggering for people like victims of SA etc. 1.2 million people follow Ethel, it is not unrealistic to expect that a number of these may have trauma that could be triggered by the unexpected and therefore unconsensual exposure to nudity. Now onto the first point - we absolutely should censor ourselves on any platform we use. The way we behave should always be dictated to by the context of the situation in which we are existing. It is not a silly ask to ask someone to behave in accordance with the space in which they occupy - such a thing is a basic principle of human morality. Like how Ramrod censored the post when sharing it to meet the rules of the forum. They did the right thing of adapting their behaviour in line with the rules of GGD.

I love this sm, trans bodies are nothing to be ashamed of.
