So all together, 384 words... Less than 400 words for an album review... People write more than that defending their faves on here. 
And don't talk about stan goggles unless you're trying to be purposely ironic.

Now girls, please be civil. Do not turn this thread into a steaming mess with only 1 review score in.

[QUOTE ]It's the oldest trick in the book: Past-prime pop singer attempts to boost his or her relevance in the face of dwindling sales and hastily changing trends by commissioning the help of a hotter, more bankable artist. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's Cheek to Cheek is the latest product of such a collaboration— except I'm not referring to the octogenarian Bennett, who, after 60-plus years in the business, is selling more albums than ever before, but to Gaga, whose free-fall from the upper echelons of pop has been as precipitous as her rise was meteoric.

The fact that you're so bothered by him when he's been nothing but civil and level-headed speaks VOLUMES to the insecurity you have surrounding your fave. It's really not that serious.

lmao @ our favourite baked potato's other articles:
http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2...do-what-u-want
" ... since Lady G's social media diarrhea only served to highlight just how preoccupied she is with her own public image—or, at the very least, that she spends a little too much time Googling herself."
http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2...ady-gaga-venus
"... but this latest copyright kerfuffle comes on the heels of two other Artpop songs, "Aura" and "Do What U Want," whose backing tracks have similarly dodgy origins. (The lesson Ms. Germanotta apparently learned from the fallout over her 2011 single "Born This Way" was to swipe from lesser-known artists.)"
http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2...do-what-u-want
" But the extent of the "Dirrty" singer's chart success in the last five years has consisted entirely of duets or guest spots (Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," Pitbull's "Feel This Moment," and most recently, A Great Big World's "Say Something"), and "Do What U Want" has thus far failed to crack the Top 10, so the collaboration seems, at least on paper, to be a potentially savvy move for both parties."
10 Ridiculous gifs of Lady Gaga performing live
"Earlier this week, MTV posted an oddly optimistic take on the underwhelming performance of Lady Gaga's new album, Artpop, which, though it debuted at #1 with a respectable 258,000 copies, not only scanned 75% less than 2011's Born This Way did in its first week, but posted smaller opening numbers than both Katy Perry's Prism and Miley Cyrus's Bangerz."
I mean, I'm not saying it would have received a good review otherwise, but do you really think we would have received anything other than this scathing sour cream from Slant's resident career reviewer

If there's a terrible review, you report it to MC. I remember people doing the same when BTW the album was released the botched reviews were removed from MC

Vocals ? so you are telling us that this paragraph is a critique for Gaga's vocals
It's the oldest trick in the book: Past-prime pop singer attempts to boost his or her relevance in the face of dwindling sales and hastily changing trends by commissioning the help of a hotter, more bankable artist.

I am sure Critic to Critic will not be affected by this bump and will continue to slay.

Please don't spread this article. We don't want this to turn into a media hype like it did with ARTPOP.
We don't want Cheek 2 Cheek to be called Cheek 2/5 Cheek

If the article was complete 100% praise with no form of criticism would it be bias then?  |
NO. 
The point is, the critics should critique "constructively" NOT "destructively".
Critics should not get personal. There is a way to drag in a "classy" & less catty manner if you're looking to "drag".
This is not the business.
