I have nothing against Loose but boy does she have some of these girls brainwashed LOL. Her lyrics on 1989 are nothing special.

She could have released Roar and some would have called it a lyrical masterpiece. Wake up.

ikr? Every time I read posts saying this Taylor song is awesome, perfect, a lyrical masterpiece I go ahead and make a sacrifice to listen to it and I can never understand the comotion. Have these people ever listened to truly good songs?

I still remember Swift fans swearing she was a better writer than J.Mayer

You do know that Taylor's lyrics are far more cliced tho?
Lana obviously bases her lyrics on classic archetypes but she manges to clearly weave in her stories and personality into it.And if you think that is no impressive feat for a songwriter please listen to Wildest Dreams by Taylor to see the difference and the direct proof it is difficult

for an all-out pop album, the lyrics on 1989 are fine. sure, taylor references cliched things but at the same time her lyrics actually have personality and a sense of intimacy/idiosyncrasy. she does have a talent for writing (coming from a complete non-stan) and it just shows how poor people are at assessing these types of things when they try and make out that loose is the bottom of the barrel

lana has no personality on her songs. everything is about the bad boyfriend and the abused girlfriend who is submissive to the point where we don't care nor do we even know much about her character, because the way lana writes is so much about trying to please her boyf. if you think throwing around americana imagery like a prostitute gassing herself with layers of perfume evokes 'personality' then you clearly have no idea

Taylor is the best trend hopper around.

a random comparison. Bén has been over since IASF and there is no chance of recovering his courier. Did 7/11 have any impact on anyone or any chart anywhere? He is literally at Keri level.

well Keri is bigger in Germany and has a UWC hit, so ..

why is beyonce getting dragged across the board?

And I never overrated his writing.

Ugh, lyrics are the least important part of songwriting. Anybody can write lyrics over an already existing melody/song.

Melody, arrangements (ie how the song actually sounds) etc, that's where the real songwriting talent lies.

queen looks great here, so what's the problem?

trust me, they could have done a lot worse (like making it a face forward pic) that angle and pic is one of the better ones from the era

[Lord Blackout]

Bubblegum pop
Dubstep
Horns
Alt pop

She got a semi gLObal smash from each trend

I love this song so much

It's such a bad day to be a Fadga or a Localoncé stan, their floppiness is getting exposed

Girl, WHAT? That pic is ghastly. Her skin fluctuating between darker/lighter patches. The eyebrows.

BUT...

How can you say that Lana has no personality when there is no current female musician out right now that has her sound and lyrical imagery?Where does that leave the pop girls who have no individual sound or lyrics?
