one month passes...

Can somebody please explain to me, as I sit here suffering through some ridiculous live version of “Empire State Of Mind”, how it is that a singer so famous, visible and widely regarded has allowed such garbage vocal takes to make it to radio?

I’m not trying to be snarky! Every note this woman sings is flat! Why? How has this been allowed to come to pass?

...but I love “In Common” off her most recent album. Not a hit, unfortunately.

oh yeah that's right that song was very good too

ilx 2000s poll brought me back to "try sleeping with a broken heart" which <3

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 November 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link

this is easily her best since in common yeah

I think I may have only really heard two of her songs: Falling and Girl On Fire. Both of those fill me with a sense of pure hate like I never imagined myself able to feel.

She has a few good songs.

I was in Rouen a few years ago for Bastille Day and the town put on a Joan-of-Arc-themed fireworks display set to "Girl on Fire."

Oh right! That was the day of the infamous Defenestration of Rouen..

Greag set of remixes too (not just the Black Coffee!)

*great

breastcrawl, Thursday, 21 November 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link

well produced but not completely won over by this one. however it is definitely better than her last single "show me love" which weirdly enough is gaining more traction than even "in common" managed (i really liked that one)

dyl, Friday, 22 November 2019 04:44 (four years ago) link

it's odd when i think about it but "like you'll never see me again" may be my favorite of all her singles

dyl, Sunday, 24 November 2019 07:06 (four years ago) link

two years pass...

i was watching Olympics figure skating this morning while getting ready for work and a pair skated to "No One" and she really shoulda turned up the autotune on that one, woof

i have heard it is not actually her playing the piano or her singing remember milli vanilli!
