Kesha made music with FM because she's a long time fan and she had a really positive vibe with them, they made her feel good as a musician after working with Luke, etc.
Miley = scurrying for credibility because she destroyed all GP respect. Lol.
Are you serious? Rihanna has always been a singles artist. This is horrible for her. You really think R8 will sell? Girl doesn't even have a big enough fan base to ever open with 300k+. Now that the gp doesn't care, who will?
I really hope they release the album as is with no more pre-album singles, we haven't had a good pop girl bomb since Britney Jean
It grosses me out to see so many of my peers be like "I luuhhhv Mileyyyy ;D" ugh.
The fact that she's working with Ariel Pink and Flaming Lips in her latest scurry for credibility.
The music could turn out great though, those are two inspired collaborations. I would love it if she came out with a "Young Folks"/"Pumped Up Kicks" type of sound.
How is Repel Chart still in the top 20 on MediaTraffic when the album is tanking everywhere? Those German fan boys with their dog are inflating her sales once again. I know for a fact that Repel Chart has sold less than Britney Jean.

That would be incredibly contrived and tacky. To go from EDM/hip-hop to THAT would just solidify that she has no artistry and is a trend hopping rodent. You didn't think this thru.
Why don't you guys save your 'analysis' for when the era is over, not when 2 singles have been released, one of which is without a video. Like didn't you guys predict 1989 would flop because it was Katy-lite and her country fans would hate it and Artpop would be as big as BTW? No one cares for premature predictions.

It's still top 10 in Italy. I guess that is the biggest market now in the world.
(?) Since when is taking a break EVER beneficial for a pop girl? I'll wait.
Madonna before Ray of Light.
Miley before Bangerz.
But in both cases the breaks preceded massive changes in look and sound. Rihanna's looks could fit into any of her past 3 eras and she's done trap before. The only new thing is 45S's sound.
Obama not having the decency to use the word "genocide" to describe the massacres the Turks laid upon the Armenians, such a political puppet and not a real leader. Oh well, I guess that's what you get for electing someone because of his skin color and not for his achievements. Germany is the new #1 country, the Angelina of nations.
