Listen to the iconic Nancy Sinatra version.

Oh yeah, I was already familiar with that version before Gaga even inched herself close to it. I didn't think I was going to like it (Gaga's as much) because it was deemed boisterous and noisy by some members here (which Nancy's version isn't really that much) but I found it be a very nice take on the song.

I've always liked Nancy tho. She's a good follow up to her father, unlike other musicians. Nancy Sinatra > Natalie Cole.

Vin, thoughts on the fact that the R-rated, $40M, fresh on RT "Lucy" has now outgrossed the PG-13, $170M, rotten on RT "Snow White & The Huntsman"?

[Lipton]

Mmm. It's better than the strudeo version.

I love randomly singing this song in full Spanish and surprising people. She's so perfect.

So happy for Lucy but why didn't the superior Fifth Element get this same level of success (or maybe it did since sales are so inflated nowadays)?

How are the bonus tracks?

Both good but non-essential. Nothing wrong with their delivery or anything, just boring song choices to me compared to the album proper.

Hihi, most talented person in pop music right now is Lorde, a female. Queen.

[Lipton]

Shakira is still better than everyone else and is truly the best female live performer. Sorry, P!nk.

She's the origin of every album concept/imagery, she writes on every record she releases, she always has the music video in her head for every single, etc.
Most important, she knows how to create a hit like no one else. And before the "it was her team!!!" BS see Kesha, Britney, etc.

Chris does all of this too and yet you said his talent ends with his dancing

[Ainsworth]

Oh I forgot about Lorde. More talent than these men and she's a teenager.

An inspiration.

I know. It's sad, especially when he can admit that black artist have been historically slighted and not given their just due based on their race.

Really worrying.

Because it's been proven. But Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, etc. are considered legendary and the most talented artists ever. We get our credit in due time. So I (we) win.

In conclusion: males in the industry are generally more talented than women, for whatever reasons. It's still the truth, which some gays have a hard time admitting to.

Shakira is a great vocalist. I'm not the biggest fan and her inflection is a little too odd for me but I can acknowledge that. She radiates talent. I kinda miss seeing those shady J. Lo/Shakira avatars tho. Where did all the Shaki stans go?

La Pared is the ****, especially the acoustic version. I tried to learn piano for a second last summer so I could play it

The Fifth Element did very well WW but omg @ it having a $90M budget. Lucy was such an economical smash.

-

It's crazy to think that a woman who won AOTY at the Grammys in 1963 has the #1 album in the country in 2014.

[Cap10Planet]

Yes, Mary. Sing circles around that yodeling troll.

[Lipton]

Whew @ Shakira not being bankrupt and paying her taxes on-time and in multiple countries, too.

[Nippy'sReceipts]

Britney is a feminist icon because she's the sole earner for her entire family and staff

This displeases me to a great extent.



But I congratulate you and Scarlett Johansson. Furthermore, Scarlett Johansson's nudes
were soft and artistic, unlike Jennifer Lawrence's seemingly countless p***ographic nude photos.
