Catty yes but someone who said "If she were Mariah, she would kill herself" obviously isn't passive. I think passive aggression is kinda a new generation thing tbh. Corporate America ish.
All the older divas (including the male acts) never apologized or sugarcoated their biting comments.
Out of all the girls, I think Gaga was probably the most bothered by Adele's slayage. Rihanna and Katy never came off as resentful of Adele. Beyonce was always here for Adele since the 19 era. Gaga was probably just as pressed as the monsters.
Kylie not flopping for once, Moo's breakdown, J.Lo at her peak, Aliveney, Legend X's slayage, Madead's rise (Music) and decline (American Life), Janet continuing to slay until the Superbowl, etc.
