Yet Alicia sold over 35 milllion albums WW and she one of the most grammy award winner with 15 under her ****ing belt hunny. So you need to keep it cute before you defend a female artist who haven't sold as much as Ms.Keys in her career but yet she suppose to be global.

What an amazing essay this ~beautiful, talented & Pitchfork-adored artist wrote today. Dunno who She is but will definitely need to check out Her music.
Quote:
My Favorite Thing is our recurring series when an artist tells us about one of their favorite things (favorite album, movie, book, TV show, comic book, food, etc.). Here, singer/songwriter/guitarist TORRES (aka Mackenzie Scott) tells us about her favorite actress, Julianne Moore, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in Still Alice.
It took me until my 24th year to discover something about myself: I like Julianne Moore better than all the other actresses. The truth is that I've always liked her, since first seeing her portray a near-doomed Dr. Sarah Harding in The Lost World: Jurassic Park as a child. She's one of perhaps six actresses who I believe could find the universality in any role and make it relevant, emphasizing humanity above all else in her delivery. I've also noticed that I gravitate to her most nuanced roles, the films in which her characters reveal, in action or words, only a minute portion of what's actually happening in her brain. The performances, in these instances, rely exclusively on Moore's ability to communicate with nothing more than a subtle purse of the lips, a hardening of the jaw, or perhaps a slight shift in posture. It's the internal nature of these types of roles that began to hold my attention for days, even weeks, following my viewing of the films. The first time I saw The Hours I was in high school, and though I didn't know (and still don't know) firsthand what it's like to be woman in the 1950s with a child and husband and a home to keep up, I did and do know depression. I remember watching her and believing that I knew how she felt, that stifled, sad woman on the screen, and that somehow she knew how I felt, a stifled, sad teenager in Georgia.
I find any amount of screen time in any of her roles to be engrossing, even when the role is minor or the film itself isn't so good. There's no "wrong" place to start. However, if your Julianne Moore obsession blossomed later in life, as mine did, you're going to need a shortlist of introductory material. She's on a lot of folks' radar these days because of her Oscar-winning performance in Still Alice, which I recently saw in theatres (I sobbed profusely and still have yet to recover), but Julianne Moore has been around for a while. It's my opinion that the bulk of her genius work has gone almost unrecognized, from what I can tell. Maybe people are finally starting to get it? Ugh. Everyone should actually go watch Don Jon on Netflix right now, because she's truly mesmeric in that film.
Here are some of my favorite J. Moore movies, in no particular order. Some are obvious choices, but I like to think that at least one or two of them are deep cuts.
1. Chloe
2. Don Jon
3. The End of the Affair
4. Hannibal
5. The Hours
6. The Kids Are Alright
7. The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
8. The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
9. Savage Grace
10. A Single Man

I think Poor Kanye. This could have been an album he made (musically not lyrically  ) if he didn't lose his soul and his mind lol |
That isn't Kanye style musically either.

And both of those were kind of successful in soundtrack terms. Dreamgirls sold ~2 mil and 5S0G is almost at 1 mil.

That's only one out of all the Beyonce movies which actually surprisingly did really well.
Did you ever see footage of the Obsessed premiere?
If HOME was Taylor or Beyonce's movie premiere, it would have alot of fanfare .
Home seems so blah

You're forgetting Austin and his power, where Beyst had three songs.

Epic earned $268 million on a $93 million budget
While the film was overshadowed by other animated films that summer including Monsters University and Despicable Me 2, it finished in third out of six family films that summer, and became a moderate box office success.

Why do ya'll always drag Beyonce into these messes whenever we're discussing Rih? She never loses.
Can ya'll defend homegirl without throwing unsubstantiated shade? Like do your research first or step off hunty

To Pimp Butterfly is definitely a pure Hip Hop album with jazz and 90's hip hop west coast influence . I don't see the comparison.

Her fans dare to come for anyone elses sales, please stay in your lane from this day forward lmao she got beat by a tv show i am screaming.

Two, but it was never advertised as hers like how Dreamgirls and FSOG were.
Using Haunted and CIL in all the commercials.

I don't know if you're talking about J-gLObal but she is DEFINITELY more global than Alopecia. Nobody knows of or uses her outside of the US. Even the US don't use her anymore
