what is this mess they have literally turned into jokes
To me this is representative of the white male privilege of paying their dues early on to where they are allowed to be this basic and not only get away with it. DOMINATE the charts.
Could you imagine females doing what Timberflake and Fuschia 0.5 do at this stage of their career and putting up big numbers?
The way minorities would focus on females and overcriticize them just for the males to pull this tongue in cheek see i get to be beyond mediocre and still make money schtick.
And don't think Bruno getting all this radio payola and online promo just to be #4 on itunes and not even close to overtaking Closer is going to get dragged as much as Gaga doing 100k or Britney 18 years in her career doing 96k without a video.
This mess.
I HONESTLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE that the dudes are purposely being basic, generic and reductive to prove a point: I can get away with it. Ha ha.
