+ "the only good songs on artpop" discussion. It's so repetitive.
Back in the days when I joined people used to discuss random music in SYG more than anything. Occasionally there would be some massive bloodbath between two random stan bases, which always ended with people dragging Britney. What happened.
The full record too often comes off like a redemptive PowerPoint presentation while suggesting that the singer’s idea of "adulthood" involves the ability to convey pettiness without emotional intelligence.
Great solo pop careers are usually born when the performer figures out what space they want to claim and leave enough room for the listener to join them, but Mind of Mine is a definitive step away from One Direction towards nowhere in particular.
Justin Bieber could never release a song as good as It's You. My opinion is more important than Pitchfork's (I don't give in to peer pressure like they did with TPAB and Emotion).
And then there’s “Children”. If Michael Jackson still walked this Earth, he’d go door-to-door hand-delivering free copies of “Man In The Mirror” to help alleviate the scars brought on by this trite attempt at unification. Even when Bieber hits mediocre, he reaches it by stumbling headfirst down a cliff.
