"Hello" has a great populist chorus but the lyrics in the verses are a ham-fisted disaster.
"Tennessee Whiskey" might sound like a redneck manifesto from the title, but none of ATRL has actually heard it. In reality it's a wonderful blues rock ballad with far more effortless lyrics than "Hello":
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I’ve known
But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
I’ve looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn’t waste it
‘Cause there’s nothing like your love to get me high
Fomos really thinking sales and stats are what have people pressed.
If you ever admitted you knew how much a pop girl sells in real life you'd be punched.
One of my friends disowned me when I revealed the total sales figure of ARTPOP to them.
Smart of them to have her big return on the irrelevant NRJ awards (sorry France). She was clearly nervous as hell and needs to regain her confidence for live shows slowly.
That chorus though, the lack of applause/cheers after the first one is very telling This would get dragged on SNL, they better pump up the backing track.
I just say that Britney is the most successful female artist according to some list I saw in a music magazine and they just nod and agree that she is successful. I don't go into numbers and breakdowns, like not even gays do it irl
