Hi all

Recently the Kylie and Spice Girls forums have showcased the brilliant idea of forum album parties. The way this works is simultaneously starting an album at the same time and commenting along with each track in the thread. I was wondering if there would be interest in doing the same with each album for Ariana? She only has 5 studio albums so not too daunting a task! I see a lot of comments on here saying that people haven't heard 'Yours Truly' before so this would be a great opportunity to rectify this.

There would be a separate session for every album with a decided day and time where we'd all start and comment along.

Let me know if you'd want to take part if there is decent interest then we can go ahead with deciding a day and time to start with 'Yours Truly'!

I would be interested! I'm not into Kylie and Spice Girls enough to check out albums but I've heard both of Ariana's last two albums and definitely need to check out the other three! No better way to do it than with a group of like-minded people

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th May 2020, 08:33 PM

I'm in!!!

Posted by: LewisGT 10th May 2020, 09:03 PM

I'd of course be in if this was to happen

Posted by: Commander Cody 10th May 2020, 09:06 PM

Girl how have you not heard Yours Truly? There’s a lot of potential boppage in early Ari with her retro concepts *.*

Posted by: Jade 10th May 2020, 09:07 PM

Not sure who this was directed at but I've definitely heard 'Yours Truly'! Just saying that I've seen others on the forum mentioning that they haven't before

Posted by: Andrew. 10th May 2020, 09:43 PM

I've never heard Yours Truly so let's do it *.*

Posted by: Jade 10th May 2020, 10:28 PM

Good to see some interest! Would Tuesday night work for people for session 1: 'Yours Truly'? (maybe around 8:30, to finish at 9:15)

Posted by: JulianNial 10th May 2020, 10:43 PM

I would totally love that, Tuwsday evening sounds like a great idea too.

Posted by: Andrew. 10th May 2020, 11:08 PM

Tuesday evening it is *.* Idk how these things work but is doing it on plug an option?

Posted by: Jade 10th May 2020, 11:12 PM

We all listen separately and just start at the same time so we're in sync! I used Spotify for the Spice Girls one for instance but whatever works for you - iTunes, a YouTube playlist of the album etc. I'll drop a YouTube embed of each song in the thread as it starts too.

It's done this way and not on plug to encourage the discussion to take place in the AF and not offsite if that makes sense! We all live comment along in here

Here's how the Spice Girls one worked: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=233133&view=findpost&p=6532317

Ah right, I'll get my Apple Music on to give her that streaming coin *.* x

Posted by: Jay ☆ 11th May 2020, 12:04 AM

Pretty sure that time would work for me, Jade *.* I've also never heard Yours Truly, so it's high time that I did!

Posted by: Klumzeased* 11th May 2020, 11:20 AM

I have a quiz Tuesday night but I can join in for any future listening sessions!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 11th May 2020, 11:27 AM

I’ll join in if I can but if I can’t make this one I’ll definitely try and make the next one.

Posted by: Cameron 11th May 2020, 10:28 PM

I'll join but you'll need to remind me, Jade!

Posted by: Jade 11th May 2020, 11:00 PM

Will do Cameron! Looking forward to this tomorrow

(Sorry for those who can’t make it </3 hope you can make future ones!)

Posted by: Jade 12th May 2020, 08:24 PM

Well these are most certainly continuing after how fun tonight's was

Would people be up for 'My Everything' next Tuesday at 8:30pm? I originally wanted two this week but so much seems to be happening on BuzzJack for the rest of the week - BJSC results, Kylie forum party, Spice Girls forum party, Eurovision plug session, AF Idol listening, me putting up voting for Nuggets...

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2020, 08:32 PM

Wait, you've NEVER heard Dangerous Woman?

--

This is such a great idea from Kylie/Spice Girls moderators

Posted by: Klumzeased* 12th May 2020, 08:32 PM

Again my quiz night may run into this depending on how long it takes, but I am up for an album listen! May join in at whatever time I arrive. This week's listenthrough was fun and recommend to anybody who is thinking about it.

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2020, 08:33 PM

Next Tuesday seems good to me

Posted by: JulianNial 12th May 2020, 08:35 PM

Next Tuesday sounds great, I really look forward to it. BRING ON BREAK FREE!!

Posted by: Klumzeased* 12th May 2020, 08:36 PM

You heard me right! There's so many of the big pop girls' albums I have not heard before! Take Reputation that I only heard last night in full for the first time I've heard quite a few of the album tracks (Greedy is an solidified bop and Thinking Bout You is in my top 10 Ariana songs ever) but there's plenty I'm unfamiliar with! Majority are from times when I didn't have Spotify Premium!

Posted by: Jade 19th May 2020, 08:25 PM

Tuesday 8:30pm again for 'Dangerous Woman' next week? I think the forum probably needs a good few days to stop spamming 'Rain On Me'

Posted by: LewisGT 19th May 2020, 08:25 PM

Sounds good

Posted by: Jade 26th May 2020, 08:32 PM

Tuesday 8:30pm again for 'Sweetener'? seems to have worked well as a day/time so far!

Posted by: Andrew. 26th May 2020, 08:33 PM

Fine by me!

Posted by: HausofGhibli 27th May 2020, 10:47 AM

'Sweetener' is majorly underrated and ranks in my top 3 albums by her. I'm here for this one!!

Posted by: SaveBreakMyHeart 1st June 2020, 04:58 PM

Dua Lipa would like to perform Break My Heart at the Sweetner listening party if there's still a slot available!

Posted by: Jade 1st June 2020, 05:24 PM

Sure

Fellow AF Idol entry 'God is a woman' can be found at the session too #VoteGIAW

Posted by: #VoteGarden.keh 1st June 2020, 05:33 PM

just thinking about how impeccable both god is a woman and break my heart are! WOW

Posted by: JulianNial 1st June 2020, 07:11 PM

It has worked well, hopefully it brings in some more votes for 'GIAW' because she flailing a bit.

See y'all tomorrow night!

Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2020, 08:20 PM

Final one next Tuesday at 8:30pm for 'thank u, next' these have flown by - so much fun

Posted by: Jade 5th June 2020, 09:42 PM

Guys there's now a live quiz in the Lounge pencilled in for Tuesday evening for their series of Pride related events - I wouldn't want to step on their toes, can people do Wednesday night at 8:30pm instead for 'thank u, next'?

Posted by: Jonjo 5th June 2020, 09:55 PM

Should be ok for me!

Posted by: JulianNial 5th June 2020, 10:04 PM

Any day is good for me except tomorrow.

Posted by: Andrew. 5th June 2020, 10:16 PM

That's fine by me

Posted by: Jade 5th June 2020, 10:40 PM

Okay guys never mind - the event in The Lounge is being moved now so the usual day of Tuesday it is

Posted by: JulianNial 9th June 2020, 09:53 AM

Ahh there you go! Yay that it got moved forward!

Posted by: LewisGT 6th March 2024, 08:11 PM

Bringing a very old thread back here but with 'eternal sunshine' being released this Friday(!), we were hoping to host a listening session for it next week.

We were thinking next Wednesday (13th) at 7PM but have some scope to move it around if that clashes with anything.

I'll post the thread closer to the time but here's a link to our previous sessions to help remind you of the premise.

Yours Truly
My Everything
Dangerous Woman
sweetener
thank u, next
The Listening Sessions
The Honeymoon Tour
Dangerous Woman tour
One Love Manchester
sweetener world tour
positions
Dangerous Woman #2
The Singles


Let us know if this time doesn't work and I hope to see you there!

Posted by: Jade 12th March 2024, 09:55 AM

looking forward to this tomorrow! I guess we can use the 'slightly deluxe' version now
