Speaking of, do you guys believe that Bionic was sabatoged?
yes. perez and gaga planned it together
i remember that was the time i started caring about celeb stuff. i had never heard of xtina before i started going to perez's site around the time of the xtina/gaga "feud" and he would trash her all the time. that bionic sabotage was so bad that a hater paid for the deluxe edition where she had fans describe her on one word and a hater wrote "floptina" and they never caught it until it was too late
man, he was so ruthless to her. he even had a tag "floptina" on his site
and what people dont understand is that that time, perez's site was very big. it was like tmz except nastier and very biased. he was so rude and trashed a lot of people: madonna, jen aniston, kristen stetwart, xtina, etc...... i remember when he would always come for vanessa hudgens bc zac was dating her. what a ****ing homo
he "changed" his ways bc celebs were calling him out. i mean, jennifer ****ing aniston told him to stop it, which was when he started to change. i mean, he actually went to ellen's show to announce his attitude change.
which is why i will never respect gaga. she ****ing new and was still ****ing with him
Only the music video. Forced has never been the word to describe her music. Aaliyahs albums are full of filler and not memorable tho. Even after her death. She is adored for 2/3 pieces where as people celebrate Brandy's full length albums. As they should because he put more effort into her non-singles. Even her flops generating impact on African singing contests.
Um no. Brandy only has one critically acclaimed album (ironically the one that was influenced by Aaliyahs work.)
Brandy herself said that the image from afrodisiac was forced and it wasnt her. From the dancing to the sexed up image.
How is aaliyahs work not memorable? oiam has helped define late 90s r & b and Aaliyah is arguably one of the best urban pop albums of its time.
But if they are artistically even, where is Li her Accepella?
And I guess so. Up to Human I never really saw Brandy's singles as any different to her album tracks tbh
Lol, lets make this fair and compare them musically up to their 3rd albums. who knows what Aaliyah would have came with in 2008. Hell, in 2001 she was doing stuff like we need a resolution.

Full Moon was one of her least critically acclaimed album tho
Singles memorable. Albums, not so much.
And yes I said image was forced. But the music was not!

Liyah her music was fresh. But she didn't lift one finger to write a lyric or even produce on selftitled whatsoever. So you can't claim her artistry sorry. Brandy is an artist, Liyah is a vocalist
I knew when BTTB dropped & she said her next album would be futuristic, that it would be some mess. She should have left the electronic stuff alone & went in a different route, cause that does not work for her.
I'm not knocking her for wanting to try new things but the lady does not understand gradual transition/evolution. Bionic isn't even a bad album, especially when you look at the ballads and the deluxe tracks.

Like I said, Perez was going overboard but I still to this day do not see anything notable that points to Perez being paid or Gaga orchestrating Xtina's sabotage. Perez is a pig that did not/does not need a reason to attack somebody. In 2010, Xtina just happened to be the butt of all jokes and Gaga was the hot, new, it-girl. Another thing is, Xtina has been declining in commercial success from her second album on-wards. Even though Back to Basics was a successful album and era, it only sold around 2 million (1.7 in figures, I believe) in the U.S. in 2006. She was headed for commercial failure regardless but I don't know if the public opinion would have been as negative had it not been for Perez's consistent hating.

i do remember when PerezHilton.com was a thing too
TMZ changed the game though.

And why are people still discussing Brandy and Aaliyah (in 2015, no less )
Omfg I did so bad on my calculus exam. I studied for 2 weeks for this **** and being the cocky bastard I am, I thought I wouldn't need to study the last two days cuz I thought I was already ready and decided to revise the day of. Holy **** I am the dumbest ****ing bastard in the entire earth and now my entry scholarship might get revoked if my mark doesn't keep up, which is a high chance....please pray to God for me and hope my teacher makes some bogus mistake and gives me a high mark on the exam
I think I'm going to stay out of ATRL race debates for a while. I'm kinda over it, and the discussions get more and more superficial.
Are you annoyed at the SJWs or the ones that refuse to see racism anywhere?

I actually do that. I like listening to albums in chronological order (I'm the same way when it comes to listening to discographies). There is nothing wrong with long albums, it's just that Christina's long albums contain so many unnecessary fillers that it drags down the quality of the album.

But afrodisiac is brandys most critcally acclaimed album and a bulk of it was produced by Aaliyahs team.
Do you think Brandy produced and wrote every song by herself? All of these singers would be lost if not for a production team, so thats here nor there.
Aaliyah was the one who came up with the sound, subject matter, and the image of the music. With oiam, her label wanted to seek out popular producers.. She turned them down because she wanted two nobodies at the time named timbaland and missy.

Which God? Choose your answer wisely if you want to pass.

That, and now every thread is about a random nobody in Anywhere, USA making a comment. Loke who cares what Random Person #5 thinks? Plus talking about racism all the time, doesn't really accomplish anything.
Yea Xtina, loves her some filler. B2B was bottom heavy with it.
