March 31, 201213 yr I LOL'd so much throughout that performance.. for the wrong reasons. Her vocals were terrible and she didn't even dance properly! She was doing that dance middle-aged women do as they're on the way to the dancefloor.. small stamping steps. It put me in mind of a really bad impersonation, like someone was doing karaoke :(
March 31, 201213 yr I also loved the AI performance for some reason. :blush: Maybe it's the "loon glasses" I currently have on for her, but she sure as hell put on a show. Oh and Madonna will be in her second week. This week she's selling 70k, so I reckon that to get number 1 you'd need about 50k next week. All three should do big things, but I'm expecting 01. Labrinth (55k), 02. Madonna (53k) and 03. Nicki (52k). As long as it outpeaks 'Pink Friday', I'm happy! I'm more interested to see which tracks will be cherry picked the most. 'Roman Holiday'? That seems to have the most hype surrounding it. Oh and 'Young Forever' hit me in a BIG way today. Such a beautiful song :heart:
April 1, 201213 yr Starships, Va Va Voom, Pound The Alarm & Young Forever are all standouts on a very strong album!

April 1, 201213 yr I've been listening to the pop half of the album and each track is AMAZING!! I never thought I'd buy a Nicki album, but I will be doing tomorrow! :o
April 1, 201213 yr I decided to give this album as I love her pop side very much, plus rob may or may not have got me to listen to the clips. :kink: minus the first four tracks, I am actually very impressed. the second half of the album particularly I could listen to any day. my favourites are 'starships' (obviously), 'pound the alarm', 'gun shot' and 'young forever'. :wub:

The album is currently #21 on iTunes on Pre-Orders alone! I'm impressed!
April 1, 201213 yr Finally got round to ordering it off amazon. Obviously went for the deluxe so I can have Va Va Voom!
April 2, 201213 yr Just got this from Tescos, but they weren't selling the bloody deluxe edition - so I've had to download Va Va Voom and Masquerade seperately. :( Edited April 2, 201213 yr by ROBOT
April 2, 201213 yr 'whip it' is quickly becoming my favourite song on the album now. so addictive. :wub:

Beenie Man) 09 Stupid Hoe 10 Va Va Voom 09 Masquerade This is an absolutely FANTASTIC album! 'Pound The Alarm' and 'Whip It' are my favourites at the moment. :wub: I have to admit though, the pop songs on the album are definitely the better songs.
April 2, 201213 yr Can anyone tell how well it is selling in stores?!?! Surely you can wait an the charts with tell you that! :lol: Also I ordered off Amazon last night and I'm probably going to be waiting a few days, hopefully it comes by Thursday!
April 2, 201213 yr First listen thoughts... 06 Roman Holiday - terrible but the synths are too hot to ignore 02 Come On A Cone - car crash! 00 I Am Your Leader - delete 00 Beez In The Trap - delete 00 Hov Lane - delete 00 Roman Reloaded - delete! 08 Champion - finally something decent! A bit like a marriage of Blazin' and Moment 4 Life (if not as hot) 07 Right By My Side 08 Sex In The Lounge - lush vibez 09 Starships 08 Pound The Alarm - would be even better if it had a chorus! 08 Whip It - summery goodness 07 Automatic 08 Beautiful Sinner 08 Marilyn Monroe - cute as hell 08 Young Forever - future single surely? 08 Fire Burns 08 Gun Shot - could do without that raving homophobe on there though 00 Stupid Hoe 2/3s of it is really quite decent if never quite great. The other third is utterly SHOCKING. I'm so not here for that shit.
April 2, 201213 yr Re-rate now everything has had time to sink in: 09 Roman Holiday 07 Come On A Cone 09 I Am Your Leader 09 Beez In The Trap 08 HOV Lane 04 Roman Reloaded 08.5 Champion 07.5 Right By My Side 08 Sex In The Lounge 10 Starships 10 Pound The Alarm 09 Whip It 08 Automatic 08 Beautiful Sinner 10 Marilyn Monroe 10 Young Forever 07.5 Fire Burns 08 Gun Shot 09 Stupid Hoe (shameless love!) ----- 10 Turn Me On 10 Va Va Voom 08.5 Masquerade It's a fantastic album, Roman Reloaded is probably her worst song to date though (yes, I'm a total stan!)...
April 2, 201213 yr Author Favourites so far: 01 'I am Your Leader' 02 'Whip It' 03 'Pound the Alarm' 04 'Beez in the Trap' 05 'Sex in the Lounge'/'Champion' Overall, liking the album much than I thought I might. Only tracks I'm skipping at the moment are 'Come on a Cone' and 'Roman Reloaded'...still strongly dislike 'Turn Me On' too.
April 2, 201213 yr Surely you can wait an the charts with tell you that! :lol: Also I ordered off Amazon last night and I'm probably going to be waiting a few days, hopefully it comes by Thursday! haha no i meant just looking by stock on store shelfs, like i went into my local HMV and they only had like a few copies left on there shelfs.
April 2, 201213 yr Re-rating this as well, as I think I was a little generous/harsh on a few songs before: 02 Roman Holiday 00 Come On A Cone 07 I Am Your Leader 03 Beez In The Trap 07 Hov Lane 05 Roman Reloaded 06 Champion 07 Right By My Side 08 Sex In The Lounge 09 Starships 10 Pound The Alarm 08 Whip It 09 Automatic 09 Beautiful Sinner 08 Marilyn Monroe 09 Young Forever 06 Fire Burns 07 Gun Shot 00 Stupid Hoe 10 Va Va Voom 07 Masquerade Still find the album a mixed bag, the pop half really is very good though. However, I do miss good old urban Nicki beyond belief. Edited April 2, 201213 yr by Davidson
