Anyone can write articles there, though. Go ahead and try.

I know, and whoever wrote this one made some valid points.

Demi can sing but her songs suck.

Can and should are two different things tho.

So untrue. Rihanna is Queen of the UK. Alexandra Burke just has this annoying quality that make you want to punch her in the face. She's like 2011-2013 Beyonce.

For some reason, international artists get a free pass. It's just the girls from the UK that get all the flak.

Alexandra, Keisha Bunchanan, Alesha Dixon and Misha B are all examples. Also black females never do well on shows like the X Factor, despite being insanely talented.

I don't think at this point she and her team are even thinking about the #1 spot.

She'll still sell well though.

She should have changed the date to the week before.

YES Azealia Jackson!

Pharrell's vocal performance on this is perhaps the least enthusiastic I've ever heard

Before it was out, I had a dream that A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E was spelled out over the Vogue intro beat

It was originally slated for 10/22 (PRISM)

Is the roar the most basic song ever?

EW clocked Avril hard though:

Avril Lavigne released “Here’s to Never Growing Up” at 28. The song represented a lyrical regression for Lavigne, who promoted her 2004 sophomore album Under My Skin with the narrative that she was all grown up at 19 years old. “I do get asked a lot if I feel like I’ve been robbed of a significant part of my youth,” Lavigne said in an MTV documentary at the time, “but I don’t.”

Since then, Lavigne has seen great commercial success, great failure, gotten married, gotten divorced, and gotten married again. In almost every way, Lavigne has already “grown up,” and yet she flipped the maturity switch “off” to release “Here’s To Never Growing Up” this spring, attempting (unsuccessfully) to connect with the same crowd that Miley Cyrus has reached more believably. If nothing else, Lavigne’s song revealed the efforts record labels are making to tap into the youth-obsessed narrative.

I would say yes.

A soft sound to the way she wears her hair down
Covering up her face.
Oh what a let down, I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place.

You're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking about you.
You're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two

Cyrus, as much as people wish it weren’t so, is connecting with a young audience, and it’s not because she’s bringing a new perspective to the pop world. No, the naughty diva has simply distilled the things her pop cohorts have sung about for the past two years, and she’s delivering them at a higher proof. If modern pop is all about youth and the sex, fun, and irresponsibility that accompany it — easy subjects for young people to support — then Cyrus is just telling her fans exactly what they want to hear.

My purchase of Wrecking Ball now feels justified!
