Justin Timberlake's last 3 albums have been mostly produced by Timbaland's stale beats
yet the Queen Of The Hot 100 gets all the hate...
Why?
Serious question....
It doesn't bother me though because it's mostly those who post on music forums that I see any complaining about it. Everyone I know personally loves HER to death...I mean the digital sales and the airplay tells us all  |
Kelly, Avril and Justin have their complainers. Most accuse Kelly of "only making music that bashes boys" when it couldn't be further from the truth. But because people would rather assume than find out for themselves, it's a false stigma that gets repeated over and over again.
Justin is criticized for for going back to the well over and over and over again when it comes to Timbaland. Though I enjoyed Part 1 of 20/20, I feel like Part 2 is an uninspired mess and I blame Timbaland's dated production for it.
I haven't used Avril since her second album so I try not to comment on her.
I'm gonna buy Katy's album no matter what. I love her, I love her music and she's an artist whose project I'll support because it's her. That said, I would have loved to hear a dark album. She hyped it as such and then when she disappeared, a lot of people forget that she said she was taking a different direction. Don't fault people for not knowing about an obscure interview she did. When they were heavily checking into what the album was going to be, she said it was going to be dark. So that's what got stuck in their heads.
While I enjoy Katy's music, I don't know how I feel about her working so much with Bonnie and Lukas. I mean, from a business standpoint it's a sure thing. They had huge hits before. But I think Lukas tends to be lazy and repetitive and I would hate for Katy to fall victim to Lukas' attention deficit disorder when it comes to music. That's all. As a top tier talent, Katy deserves better.

She was another Bonnie McKee type artist back in the day. Is Katy going to resurrect another career?
