Lies, in the 10 or so years before his death he had become a punchline

Both that song and Avicii's song Addicted To You sound so much like Adele.
Just when the 21 singles were finally off the radio

Is that Jess girl the one who sings Rather Be? |
Is your exam board OCR? If so I have that exam. I'm doing The Picture of Dorian Gray and Edward Thomas poetry.  I did The Great Gatsby for my coursework, great book. Not seen the film.
I never knew it was a GCSE option, lord it must have been basic as hell.

Yeah it is, she's gonna probably be another of the UK's one era wonder pop girls but I've fallen in love with her voice

Oh please, her song is cute but i cant bandwagon for her. She's too samey (sort of why Sam Smith is going to bomb, AlunaGeorge style).

It appears Cate Blanchett has replaced Emma Thompson as the female narrator opposite Brad Pitt for Terrence Malick's Voyage of Time, his epoch-spanning look at the history of humanity from the Big Bang until to today.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffff
If anyone is counting, C8 now has 3, I repeat, THREE, Terrence Malick movies in post-production.

Ugh you're probably right but she's so cute and makes more upbeat interesting music (from what we've seen so far anyway)
AND she's not fat.
She's literally an upgraded Adele.

He was King of Pop of course, but also a total joke and pedo/bleach punch line

Several factors suggest Gaga has fallen off in recent years:
Ticket sales
Those who bought tickets to "The Monster Ball Tour" had to get them fast. Most shows sold out in a matter of days or even hours. That's not the case with "The ARTPOP Ball." With the show at The Q just a few days away, there are still a decent number of tickets available.
Record sales
A lot was made about the fact that Gaga's most recent album, "Artpop," sold less than 260,000 copies in its first week compared to 2011's "Born This Way," which sold more than a million during the same time frame. However, it was the second-week sales that were more jarring. Gaga sold less than 50,000 copies of "Artpop" in week-two, one of the biggest declines in history.
Quality of music
"Artpop" is not only Gaga's least successful album, it's also her worst. The lead-single "Applause" built a modest buzz that quickly died with forgettable follow-ups like "Do What U Want" and "G.U.Y." By comparison, when "The Monster Ball Tour" was announced, Gaga had just released "Born This Way," her biggest single up until that point. Two of her best overall songs, "The Edge of Glory" and "You and I," came soon after.
Lost in the art
"Born This Way" was the first time Gaga created a movement. It became clear she stood for something more than her contemporaries like LMFAO and Kesha. Yet, "Artpop" doesn't really seem to be about anything other than art for art's sake. And it's not even good art. The two visuals most associated with Gaga over the past year are a strange performance of "Do What U Want" with R. Kelly at the American Music Awards and her show with a vomit artist at this year's South by Southwest. Gaga called it "art in its purest form." Okay, then.
Market oversaturation
When Gaga's released the stunning video for "Bad Romance" in 2009, it was an affirmation that we were seeing a type of artist we hadn't since Madonna in her heyday. Everything that followed – her meat dress, the gigantic egg at the Grammys, "The Monster Ball Tour" – came across as new and exciting. Then, something strange happened. Gaga's brand of shock and awe became the norm. Miley Cyrus was twerking, Rihanna was posting half-naked photos on Instagram and everyone was making clever EDM jams. It was simply played out. Looking at the pop music landscape now, the two biggest female stars are Beyonce and Taylor Swift. Beyonce, while very sexy, possesses a sense of elegance, and Swift banks on a certain level of innocence. Gaga has neither.

You're back! 
And yeah, she's DEF not a legend.
Neither is Britney, who (unlike Legend X) has no classic songs like Beautiful/MLJ, no legacy, no voice and NO recurrent airplay

That's funny really. People can be hella rude and ****** to you but when you pop your clogs, they treat your dead ass like you were John of Baptist. Like, they aint around so what's the point.
It's so fake. If you're gonna be a bitch to said person, then continue to be a bitch even if they're in the afterlife.

His music wasn't bashed but you certainly didn't have people admitting to being MJ fans.
It's not that nobody cared about him. It's that nobody respected him as a person.
And some of y'all must have forgotten him being dragged through the mud in the media for Invincible flopping. Even though it didn't necessarily flop (didn't it sell like 8 or 9 million?). Everybody was against him, this is a fact unless you lived under a rock before 2009.
