Just bought my U.S. physical copy! The booklet sucks compared to the UK Deluxe I own. It was still a pretty exciting experience getting to go out and buy copies with my friends. Death at Primadonna stuck in the same spot she was this morning. #202 Hopefully she will come though later on today.
EDIT: I was stalking her tag on Tumblr. Apparently she said at the Portland concert that she would be back in the fall. I have a feeling this means she will also be promoting "How To Be A Heartbreaker" in the states!!!
OMG I really hope this means she adds more American dates in Fall! It would only make sense if she gets bigger here... She's not going to Boston right now which is ridiculous... She went before... Also she's not going anywhere near Texas right now. I don't live in Texas but I know a lot of people do and it's odd she didn't go anywhere around there...
I'm going to be in Boston for school so it'd be really awesome if she added a Boston date in September or October! or even November, just sometime! Then I could see her a second time with my college friends!
The US (Billboard, E!) are making me too hopeful that Marina will blow up massively. I'm so nervous about how Primadonna will perform when it's all said and done.
Randomly someone sent me a message on Tumblr asking me to post what they had to say about the board because ATRL isn't accepting new members. So... this is what they said. Their blog is http://anotherperson-has-claimed-this.tumblr.com/
"Y'all hardcore stans quit your bitching and moaning over EH's Metacritic score. It is what it is, and sadly rather on the mark. Compare with open ears EH against, say Feist's Metals, which has a score of "universal acclaim". Or The Dø's Both Ways Open Jaws. Or Princess Chelsea's Lil' Golden Book. Or even Florence's Ceremonials."
So remember on that radio 1 interview when Marina said she could foresee roughly 5/6 singles from Electra Heart... what are you guys' predictions? We've got Primadonna, P&C, Heartbreaker, leaving room for let's say 3 more.
Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Lies, I can see it being a single purely because of the Dr. Luke mark.
I would actually love to see Sex, Yeah as a single because I think it's a fantastic song... I don't know the chances because it's deluxe, though then again it's been bumped up to standard on the US edition.
As for the last one... Bubblegum Bitch!
Edit: Hmm I completely forgot about Starring Role... Marina seems to really like that song, so I think that has quite a high chance. If it were up to me, I'd replace Lies with Starring Role
The US (Billboard, E!) are making me too hopeful that Marina will blow up massively. I'm so nervous about how Primadonna will perform when it's all said and done.
I really hope she will finally blow up in the US, preferably with HTBAHB.
I can't believe that Primadonna is suddenly just shooting up like this, not that I'm complaining! I'ma need radio to replicate this success though, up to 48 but still scoring negatives. I'll be so happy if KIIS add this come Tuesday. Really want this to smash.
As for future singles, I'd say Starring Role and Lies are almost definitely getting released at some point. That'd be Primadonna/Power & Control/How To Be A Heartbreaker/Lies/Starring Role. That's 5 but 6 if you count Radioactive. Also Power & Control is finally starting to climb in the UK & Ireland. 127 in Ireland and 282 in the UK. It's funny how Ireland are really taking to her this era yet the Flop-K are not
I do hope we have at least 5 singles this era. The first three then either Starring Role, The State of Dreaming or Homewrecker. I want a video for Homewrecker so bad.
48 +1 MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS Primad... 428 -9 10 -15 2.030 -0.081 199
These negatives need to stop. I'm sure with the performance on iTunes it should start getting positive updates #48 on pop today
This is what I'm thinking. You could kind've understand why they may not play it before hand because it was down in the 500's on iTunes. But now it's climbed into the top 200 so hopefully they'll see it's popular enough to be played more often then just the night slots.
I've been thinking about what she said in this interview about the videos for Electra Heart.
15 videos in general, 5 archetypes videos.
So the rest will be the singles?
i'm trying to search which interview it was.
I thought we could do a possible planning for the videos:
Fear & Loathing : Archetypes
Radioactive : (Buzz) Single
The Archetypes : Archetypes
Primadonna : Single
Su-Barbie-A : Archetypes
Power & Control : Single
*new archetype video* : Archetypes
How To Be A Heartbreaker : Single
*new/last archetype video* : Archetypes
Lies : Single (The next are possible singles)
Living Dead : Single
Starring Role : Single
Homewrecker or Bubblegum Bitch : Single
Hypocrates : Single
The State Of Dreaming : Single END OF ERA?
I don't know fifteen videos just seems so much with only 5 archetype videos no?
Btw I don't think this interview was posted already :
She's so cute in this interview btw !
+ her lies are really funny haha
