I would love for there to be a storyline in this video. I'd love for her to do that once. I mean, I guess "Hello" did, but honestly, we all know she doesn't care enough to actually do a video with a storyline. She doesn't need to do a video at all. We're lucky we've gotten what we have so far, to be honest. 
And the vocals on "Perfect Illusion" were a bit messy, but I don't mind them on "Million Reasons" as much. It's not on the level of "Dope." (I mean, I get why the vocals were like that in the song, but still... it was a bit messy.) I haven't heard the whole album yet, though, so... I hope I don't regret making that statement.

PI is a grower, Million Reasons sucks, Ayo and Sinners Prayers are cute... There might be some hope.
While we're off topic. Solange's vocals on Mad are haunting, definitely SOTY.

Can Adele shut up about not doing a country album  She would slay that genre, her Need You Now, If It hadn't Been For Love covers were amazing. The Don't You Remember rearrangement at Glasto felt like an anthem. Imagine a duet with Chris Stapleton, their voices would mash well together.

Imo WUTB video should not contain a literal bridge (she already did so with SLY) but should be shot in color. Like fall colors, some amount of water element. More of a variety of shots than SML. I'd like some of the vibes she had in the bg videos for BBC/RCMH.
I'm tired of the laziness on the videos, like at least give us three non-lives girl  They're a big part of what's left to go back to on YT or w/e to remember and give a lasting aesthetic for eras for years on.

Joanne is better than Chartflop in that the two tracks are actually listenable. Perfect Illusion isn't ever amazing but goes to **** at 1:51. Million Reasons is on there to appeal to us Adele-lovers specifically

i agree, tbh it doesn't even have to feature water or a bridge imo, since it's a metaphor. with Hello, a telephone and a desolate place is logical since the song is basically a voice-message on the phone.
it'd be pretty cool maybe with a drawed storyline like a-ha's take on me?
but then ofc, maybe a shot from London Bridge could be cool, and thinking about it, the SLY video is in a way more fitting for WUTB than SLY

ASATT does a better job of addressing some of the same topics Lemonade does. The cruel part of me wants Solange to Dark Horse AOTY just to see Bey's face but it'll never happen.

Yeah, I think the problem with "Send My Love" is that there wasn't a variety of shots. She needs to do that "Water Under the Bridge," assuming we get a video. In all honesty, if she wasn't going to shoot a video, they could literally compile the backing visuals from her performances during this era into a video. The visuals during the BBC special would be perfect for it.
That being said, if we do get an actual video, I'd love for it to start off in black and white, and then when it reaches the chorus, explode into color. But if the full thing is in color, I'm fine with that, too. I just want something visually appealing that isn't too much on the eyes like "Send My Love" was (although I do love that video). It would be cute if Simon was in the video with her being that the song is about him, but considering how she is about her personal life, we all know that's not going to happen.
Anyways... I would love for Adele to do more country stuff. "Don't You Remember" is one of my favorite songs by her, and I'm actually kind of disappointed that there wasn't anything really country-sounding on 25. (Not that it would've fit with the sound of the album anyways, but still... The whole thing about it having more country vibes was an exciting thought.) I think some more country soul music would fit her really well.
And I agree, Daydreams, Joanne may not be flawless, but in comparison to ARTPOP, it's great so far. I seriously hate the fact that ARTPOP is even in her discography. The handful of songs I use from that album are guilty pleasures; really, none of them are good songs. "Perfect Illusion" is never amazing, but it's good. I do love "Million Reasons," but like Daydreams said, it appeals to people that love music like Adele (probably why I love it, but I've also wanted Gaga to do more of a raw, authentic sound for a long time because it suits her better than some of the stuff she's done in the past).

ikr? she'd slay country, but i prefer no need you know-stuff cuz it's country pop fodder, way to basic. i want her to collab with Allison Kraus and Chris Stapleton, that stuff does fit her better.

also listen to the swedish duo first aid kit, amazing indie-country pop, listen to their songs "lions roar" and "emmylou harris" (one of fave singer-songwriters aswell btw).

Well yeah ideally the video won't have a bridge or water but create a video based on the way she describes what the song is about. We know that ain't happening tho so I'm ready for that live from the tour montage video. I agree that she'd be amazing doing country and imagine if the crew or tour managers etc surprised her and Alison goes up on stage with her to sing Don't you remember in Nashville.... she'll die
I like Solanges new record too. She's very underrated

I think it would be really cool to have a montage of tour footage set to WUTB as opposed to just her performing it.
And yes pls something special for Nashville

That would be AMAZING if Alison Krauss sang "Don't You Remember" with Adele. Fingers crossed! 
Yeah, I need to check out Solange's new record; I've heard great things about it so far!
Also, I randomly thought of this (and I know it won't happen), but I would DIE if Simon proposed to her on the last night of the tour, during "When We Were Young" or something. I now how she is about her private life, but it would be so cute!

Let’s get this out of the way: Adele or Beyoncé for album of the year?
Chance: Beyoncé. I thought Lemonade was a well-structured album, politically vocal, streets-ready and cohesive. Not to say that Adele’s album didn’t have any of those things, but I only heard it, I think, once. Coloring Book would be a strong contender for album of the year, too. I’m not coming for Beyoncé at all. She will be nominated but I’m just saying, why not Coloring Book for album of the year?
Cara: Adele had great songs on 25, but Beyoncé pulled together a beautiful body of work as a whole, and I’m really into that.
Morris: That’s so hard because I wore both of those albums out. I lean towards Beyoncé because she made such a social statement with her album. And it’s a visual album. As a songwriter, when I first watched Lemonade, I was so moved.

I don't want to be reported by Cockney Cupcake so i'll just stay quiet But seriously i hate the fact that this is turning into Adele vs Bey. At least Chance and Morris made a (more or less) good argument. Never knew Cara was so shady

Mess at Chance the Rapper name-dropping his own album
There does seem to be hype of Lemonade for AOTY within the industry, but everyone thought the same of self-titled and look how that ended up. So I don't think it will happen realistically.
Bey for AOTY and Adele for R and SOTY would make everyone happy, though

None of this will matter anyways because a rock or indie act will snatch AOTY anyways.
