Atonement

omg it's like I'm literally listening to Ed Sheeran. Very uninteresting track.

I really hate the cover art. Luckily the rest of the era is good so far.

But apparently she has said that there are quite a few ballads on the new album so yeah, there's that.... Great avatar. One of my fav bodies albums. A classic.

omg I agree. 'Swish Swish' is a tune. The video has also enhanced 'Bon Appétit' for me and 'Chained for the Rhythm' is really good if I ignore the lyrics. Katy has never been more interesting. This era reminds me of the 'Dangerous Woman' era and that was one of my favorite albums last year :wub: .

I stayed away from this thread but I can imagine Buzzjack is not a fan of the current winner. Personally, I think we have had 2 amazing winners in a row now. Very happy that Jamala and Salvador showed that you don't have to send something like those cheap-ish songs that Sweden sends every year (don't get me wrong I kind of liked the song last night but Sweden sis...), or novelty acts like Romania and Moldova, to win. I'm extra happy that Portugal won in their own language, showing that you don't have to sing in English to touch people. My personal top 3 last night: 1. Hungary 2. Portugal 3. Armenia

omg the part where she's sliding into the soup and is being boiled is my favorite. that also really annoyed me :lol:

I thought he said he wouldn't release albums anymore?

See I used to love you, but I don't.

Unexpected yes :lol: I love this

omg that's REALLY bad. But let's be honest here, 'I Don't' is actually quite amazing :coffee:. Talent won.

I listen to 'Loud' more often because it's so easy on the ears but 'Beyoncé' is a work of art.

So they're all here :wub: I had time to revisit them all so it's time for a new rank. 1. Anti 2. Unapologetic 3. Rated R 4. Loud 5. Good Girl Gone Bad 6. Music of the Sun 7. Talk That Talk 8. A Girl Like Me

Yass people with taste.

I thought this would be a SMASH and a future radio classic but it only ended up being a small hit here in the Netherlands :snif:

I don't hear it either. There are so many better latin tracks. It really annoys me that this is taking off :wacko:

Of course her looks matter. They shouldn't but they do. She's a popstar, not a ''real'' musician like Ed Sheeran or Adele. It basically defines how marketable she is. Yeah, her days as a huge popstar are most likely over :(. I still blame the long waiting period between 'Prism' and this new album.

Eeh it seems to be really underperforming everywhere on iTunes. She should pull the plug on this single.

I agree with the people who say that they like it but that it doesn't really go anywhere and takes a while to get going. I feel like it's missing something. The chorus is nice but could use a more explosive production. The verses are underwhelming.

They have an amazing singles discography but from these songs I only like 'Something Kinda Ooooh'. The other 4 are not good. Really happy that the others are not on The Sound of Girls Aloud which is pretty flawless the way it is. 1. Something Kinda Ooooh 2. Something New 3. I Think We're Alone Now 4. Walk This Way 5. Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me

I only listened to it a handful of times to be honest. I didn't particularly dislike it but there was nothing that made me keep coming back like 'Drunk in Love' and 'Haunted' did for BEYONCÉ.

I like the artwork. The preview of the song also sounded good. I'm just a bit confused about this supposedly woke popstar working together with a group that made a homophobic statement.

Both her looks on the Victoria Secret thing in 2012 are among my favorites of hers. http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Rihanna%202012%20Victoria%20Secret%20Fashion%20Show%20vD0mqDspPoLl.jpg Flawless queen.

I wish she would start doing less urban music now. I'll embrace every collab we get but I'm ready for another side of her. I have nothing against 'Nothing's Promised', 'Loyalty' and 'Selfish' but they are not among my favorites. I hope she'll work with artists from other genres as well in the near future.
