Sistrens! I missed part two today, but I am here to catch up!
--
No. 8: Army Of Me. Not gonna lie, I cackled out loud @ "While "promoting" Lotus, Christina claimed that Army Of Me was "Fighter" 2.0... She lied."
--
No. 7: Cease Fire. lololol "It invented the Hunger Games saga, autotune and world peace"; Truth Teller, I need you to do all of these going forward! I low-key love this song, even if it's Legend's version of Rihanna-karaoke.
--
No. 6: Best Of Me. Noooo! Y'all ain't sh!!! BOM is the best ballad on Lotus (with the possible exception of JAF). Those lyrics >>> I remember feelin' for our girl listening to this for the first time because it was her obvious response to how badly the media treated her over Bionic/Burlesque's flops & her personal life woes. Much better than Sia's STANK PAGE.
BOM stays slaying.

No. 5: Blank Page. kiiii BYE. I honestly don't get the SALIVATION for this song. It's the only song I ALWAYS skip when listening to Lotus. I'm ready for Sia and X to officially part ways.
My reaction if I find out Sia is giving Legend scraps for X6.
--
No. 4: Let There Be Love. This holy bop! While I love YB (and realize I'm in the minority for what I'm about to say...), I think this would/could have been a more successful lead-choice single. It even went no. 1 on the dance charts WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. The fact that I heard this song more at gay clubs (AND AT GAY PRIDE) than Your Body.... [sigh]. Ultimate missed-single opportunity.
-- No 3: Lotus Intro. "As an album opener, it perfectly deceives the listener that they're about to experience a quality album" YOU DIDN'T LIE! Perhaps the most truth tea of this entire rate!
--
No 2: Just a Fool. YASSSS. DEAD @ "It effortlessly peaked higher than G.U.Y., Perfume and Pretty Hurts and outsold all 3 of them combined, selling 750,000 copies in the US alone. It achieved that with no airplay, no video and 2 performances, both of which were more low budget than Keri Hilson's Walmart tour. It could have been a smash, but Christina cared less about it than Adele cares about Weight Watchers" -- I had NO IDEA it outsold/outpeaked all of these!

No 1: Your Body. Meh. Love it but IDK about the best.
Truth Teller - you did an AMAZING job! Thank you so much for the fun, laughs, and occasional FUMES you induced!
