BEYSUS is a better album than 4.
It's more natural. A lot more effortless.
Very chill and very current and forward thinking.
With 4, it was like she was trying too hard to create a "classic" album.
She thought a classic album had to have a ton of retro influences, when it's actually not true at all.
She learned with BEYSUS that a classic album is simply timeless.

She was just dumb and clueless during the year of 4. Thank Rhenna for showing her the way.

Congratulations to P!nk for making me pressed. I thought she sold 5M copies of the truth about love. But 7 million seems like they just overshipped it?

I think 4 was trying too hard to come across as "mature" to the point of being flat out cloying, overwrought and stodgy at some points. I mean, a Diane Warren ballad? A Vanessa Carltonesque, Babyface penned piano ballad? I don't understand how she could mix those songs in along with some of the best she'd ever made -- Love On Top, End of Time and Countdown. That album could have been perfect, but it seems like she was so self aware of approaching 30 and wanted her music to reflect and it stifled her some ways.

The current album is kind of the exact opposite -- there's a natural relaxed maturity there without her taking herself too seriously and being too extra or too preachy or stiff -- it's still fun. She really let go and everything just fell into place so perfectly.

Year of 4 was so...

When we were dragging Katy, I was listening to PRISM.

She's at 5.4ish in actually sales. There actually isn't a 100% accurate source for measuring WW sales totals. The sites we use are as close as we can get. But keep in mind that when dealing with an international scale, over shipping by 1.5 million isn't really a lot. Most of those probably in the US. They must be getting ready for that Grammy performance slayage.

Not the Brandy base awards being cancelled

And not me just finding out I was a contender to be nominated

I haven't replied to your posts yet, but I do agree. I also think you could make an even more amazing album by combining some of 4 and BEYONCE.

There's some brilliant songs on 4 like I Miss You, Party, LOT, Countdown, ect.
But yeah it seemed like she was like I'm 30 now! My music HAS to sound mature!
I'm gonna do a full on album of retro stuff when my parents were in their prime!
That's mature! Lets go with it.

This album, she just went in the studio and created music that she loved.
And music that actually resonated with her, not that 4 doesn't.
It's mature, but it's still fun. It's natural and you just get it.

Stop with the 4 dragging. It slays her bandwagon album

No. The bandwagon just picked up more passengers on its way through ATRL.
