My thoughts on Blockadele reposted from Pulse, my home in exile:
Quote:
Yes, the lyrics are a bit ham-fisted in the verses. She hasn't really evolved that much. But that chorus, my God. She absolutely nailed it, it has an incredible melody, one of those that feel like they've always existed because it's so precise and perfect. I MUST HAVE CALLED A THOUSAND TIIIIIMEEEESS, banal on the surface but her vocal turns it into a proclamation of lovelorn angst that will resonate the world over; the way only pop music can create Earth-shaking moments out of the simplest sentiments will never cease to amaze me. She's giving me Celine/Creed power ballad plus hipster credibility (Xavier Dolan, savvy!), and my spidey sense tells me that's the recipe for another 20m+ seller. I welcome our new Lord of Pop with arms wide open.
I wish I was Adele, the amount of money she's making, when she does her first tour the gross omg, 500M from 70 dates, ugh I hate being poor. In this past week she made like 3M.
Someone needs to remove the chrous on focus and replace it with something else
Arianal is over. Where is her BOMT? Where is her Umbrella? Where is her CiL? We're almost three albums in and nothing. If you're going to be pop prostitute puppet you must have that one incredible, career-justifying single. If she can't even provide that she is completely useless. Dispose of her.
ariana will never recover from the donut/america scandal. americans are so ****ing nuts when it comes to patriotism and any time an american says something about how they hate the usa they are TOAST. truly her american life
