I said this in the Katy thread, but I’ll reiterate it here: So much of today’s male artists are such an embarrassment, my god. Give me production and theatricality like Bowie, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Queen, Prince, etc., etc. The fact that male artists today are getting away with doing the bare minimum is frustrating, especially when female artists will get crucified for the simplest things.

Why do some men constantly get away with less than mid effort and performances. Not ALL men i must stress, but if a woman went on stage and did that they would be dragged through the mud, much more than the backlash im seeing from this set. What a joke

It kinda baffles me that way more Gaga fans aren't showing up for her, so here are some great performances from her Coachella set while I'm screeching, Cobrah deserves more love too

Meanwhile Nine Inch Noize delivered an insanely high production performance last night. And then you have this flop getting paid to be a flop.

Damn this forum is slow asf right now.

just announce that EP next week !

You reminded me of this comment

To be completely honest‚ part of Fifth Harmony had accounts to make racist remarks as well.

Playlist up to 125M, thsts almost double than what it debuted with.

The past week has been a really strong example of misogyny in the industry. Kanye was dead@ss a N@zi, and now he has had a colossal comeback. Compare that to Janet Jackson and Chappell Roan, who have had stuff that is barely important compared to that. Now we have Justin Bieber giving low effort stuff, meanwhile you have people Like Addison Rae who actually try and end up being very low ranked compared to Justin who can be considered as one of the best Grammy performers off of his slow set (I did like the DIY open-mic vibe, but aside from that it was pretty bland). Misogyny in the industry has to end. Imagine if TERFs put the energy they put against trans people into real misogyny instead.

90% sure it's gonna be Marry The Night. But "Brooklyn MId"? Electric chair!

and i’ll say it again!

Unless she's committing to an actual stadium production. I don't want her to leave Arenas. Gtfo with that box stage in a stadium bs

The music ain’t good enough for me to look passed her having had an entire account solely to make racist tweets about Normani and Fifth Harmony when she was 16. Like yeah she apologized when it came to light - but 16 is old enough to know racism is wrong and it definitely changed my view of her extremely

The US government during the Vietnam war engaged in eugenics thorugh a program known as Project 100,00 (also called McNamara's 100,000/McNamara's Morons). Through this program they deliberately recruited soldiers via lowering the mental & medical standards for soldiers. People recruited via this, died at 3 times the rate of other Americans serving in Vietnam. They were regularly used as canon fodder and the project was initiated to prevent the US government having to go after young white men from wealthy backgrounds via the reserves or dropping the student deferment get out clause from the draft. In much of colonial America - children born with disabilities were seen as a divine punishment upon a family leading to exclusion, abandonment in almshouses or just outright murder. Then there was the introduction of institutionalization - there are thousands upon thousands of documented abuse against the institutionalized from the mid 1800s like the infamous Blackwell's Island. And there are still hundreds of cases of disabled people being abused in care settings at this very moment in America. There's also the "ugly laws" where numerous American cities made it illegal for disabled to be seen in public. Numerous American cities & states had forced sterilization projects targeting the disabled in this period as well. You are absolutely right about America having a horific history of racism - but don't start playing opression olympics about the way other minorities have suffered throughout history in the US. Especially when doing so from a position of clear ignorance.

Justin Bieber’s highly anticipated Coachella set has brutally been labelled a ‘snoozefest’ by disappointed fans. The 32-year-old Canadian singer is one of three acts headlining this year’s festival alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G – with the event also marking his major live performance comeback. After previously being forced to cancel a tour in 2022, Justin released his seventh album Swag in July last year. It was nominated for four Grammys, while he also performed his song Yukon at the awards ceremony in February. This weekend he stepped onto the stage for his first major festival set in years – however many fans were left wanting more. Although he eventually performed hits including Baby, Sorry and Where Are U Now, Justin also started streaming clips of his iconic songs from YouTube during his set – later also going on to play and watch memes. Ahead of the set, there were also reports Justin was being paid $10million (£7million), which also left many questioning his efforts and comparing it to Sabrina’s showstopping set the night before. https://metro.co.uk/2026/04/12/justin-biebers-coachella-set-slammed-lazy-streams-hits-youtube-27944359/ Even Zara Larsson is shading it

For me, Freddie. But I always lean towards rock over pop.

I’m so excited but maybe it might be a hype repost. Either way Runway is a bop and there’s SOAW coming up.

Still can’t believe they paid him 2 mil more than Gaga and Beyoncé for a live Gay Guy Music Video Night

It's so bad and such a big **** you to the Coachella owner (who is a prick). That it's almost kind of punk.

......anyways CRANK IT 💲💲💲💲💲

dont even get me started on him

Its just a fun campy song for a movie why are people talking about it like this?

It’s 2026 now, the youngest of Gen Z has turned 14, and you guys still want Gaga to release songs like 'Bad Romance'? I’ve seen tons of threads comparing her new music to her old hits. If you consider yourself a true fan, you should know that Gaga always wants to try something new and never repeats herself. She’s rapping now with an amazing flow, yet some of you haven't even listened properly and are spreading rumors that she’s just providing background vocals? I even saw a thread where someone was complaining about the song without even hearing it yet. What is going on with this site? Anyway, I have been dancing and going hard to this song nonstop since its release.

my culture is not your costume

Is Zara in her speaking the truth era? Clocking Beyonce and now Justin?

The fault is on who calls him and who pays him to perform

He's a man, that's literally it

DWUW ft. R Kelly hologram

at what point does their comment even imply that? the user was just saying how common place the word was 20 years ago and they're right, it's just a fact nobody cared about how harmful the word was back then

I love that she genuinely loves every song she makes

I feel like Mama likes her shade and AC so I believe Arena.

I finally got my hands on a vinyl of WGIA to force Slayyyterize my neighbors

Can you manifest an extended hiatus next?

No wonder why he desperately wanted that collab with Gaga, oh miss Stefani, the economic saviour that you are

love her but wtf was that

I mean, she just clearly didn’t recognize what they were doing. It’s ignorant in a very literal sense (her not recognizing it as being a part of Arab culture) but not in the pejorative sense (she was intentionally trying to harm or discriminate against someone). Also saying “it’s my culture” is fairly vague and is the type of thing people would say ironically, so that’s probably why she didn’t really follow up or take it seriously. An apology is appropriate, but I also don’t think this is that deep.

A slightly refreshing take compared to the fans who want the song to fail. And for the record, fans are not forced to like every track Gaga releases, but I dunno, still just be a fan and cheer her on a bit.

She had no choice, really. Carpenter took the stage on Friday a year after Lady Gaga opened the festival with one of the best sets the desert has ever seen, a high-concept pop opera that set an impossible standard even for the premier pop stars a generation below her. But Carpenter got the assignment: if you’re going to headline Coachella, you better deliver not just a show, but theater, both in terms of elaborate on-stage world-building and cinematic videography essential for everyone other than the front row to see what’s going on. You better declare the whole she-bang, with a Hollywood Hills-style set that is among the most impressive I’ve ever seen, to be SABRINAWOOD, with big block letters in 4K vision as crystal clear as Carpenter’s head voice. Like Gagachella, Sabchella, as her fans have deemed it, is a dizzying full-scale hybrid production of undaunted vision that combines pre-filmed chapter breaks with complex costume changes and immaculate performance, if not always coherent plot. (Though it should be noted, the notion of “plot” for a concert is already a cut above.) The 26-year-old singer has been working in entertainment since before she was a teenager, and gamely plays the ultimate showgirl in a peripatetic production avidly concerned with many a showgirl past. From the second she emerges from a vintage car, resplendent in a red sequin dress, to her own Hollywood walk of fame, she does not miss a beat. Petite, perky and always in on the bit. It’s enough full-set changes and full-entourage choreo to both dazzle and confound, often at once. Like her friend and Eras tour colleague Taylor Swift, Carpenter does not seem to have a clear thesis on the life of a showgirl beyond living it, though I believe her when she says she spent seven months of dedicated work on Sabrinawood. Does the 90-minute set demonstrate the thematic limitations of Carpenter’s body of work? Yes, though it’s only been two years! And do the interludes, separately starring Will Ferrell, Susan Sarandon and, in voiceover, Samuel L Jackson, add anything other than time for costume and set changes? Unfortunately no, though Sarandon’s six-minute (!) monologue on … something … was drowned out by mic issues and desert wind. I could’ve done with one less set change to avoid that buzzkill, but it also doesn’t matter; the madcap production – Sam Elliott playing a cop in the intro, Feathers mixed with Barry Manilow’s Copacabana, that Broadway worthy set! – is more than most pop stars could dream of, let alone execute, however imperfectly. It helps that Carpenter, often heralded more for her writing than her vocals, sounded phenomenal, her live voice more bodied and enveloping than her bluebird recordings, though no less pristine. She ended the set, soaked and triumphant, back in that car, driving toward the on-screen credits as if closing the loop on her own movie stardom. No big promises made with this outro, just promises gloriously kept. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/11/sabrina-carpenter-coachella-review-will-ferrell-susan-sarandon

Her earlier stuff definitely was more like Ayesha's style (hell they even worked together). But the last album & this album aren't really imo. Both girls are doing 00s throwback, but are now referencing different 00s dance music. And id also argue Slayyyter has become less hyperpop.

Let me think of an excuse... Its saturday's update + coachella so of course it was gonna drop out of 200!!

This song sucks ass wtf
