Everybody knows that Let's Get Lost is obviously the weakest on the entire album and I'd take most of the B-sides and the new one over it. e: just did my own personal ranking, it's the sixth best: 1. Run Away With Me 2. Your Type 3. EMOTION 4. Gimme Love 5. All That 6. Warm Blood 7. Boy Problems 8. I Really Like You 9. When I Needed You 10. Making the Most of the Night 11. LA Hallucinations 12.

lemme get in on this ranking poo poo. This really solidifies how good I feel that the bonus tracks and B-sides were. 7-18 were almost impossible to rank because it really depends on my mood and they're all so perfect. Like, All That is the perfect "slow dance at prom" song and When I Needed You is the perfect "end to an 80s movie" song. And if we're being perfectly honest, Cut to the Feeling would probably slot in right before Boy Problems on this list. 1. Run Away With Me 2. Your Type 3. Fever 4. I Really Like You 5. Never Get To Hold You 6. Higher 7. First Time 8. Body Language 9. Gimmie Love 10. Cry 11. The One 12. When I Needed You 13. All That 14. Love Again 15. Boy Problems 16. I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance 17. Making The Most of the Night 18. Warm Blood 19. Emotion 20. Let's Get Lost 21. Favourite Colour 22. Roses 23. Store 24. Black Heart 25. LA Hallucinations Also, so there's slightly more content in this post than the correct rankings of Emotion songs, a homework project for people listening to this album: put on Fever a couple times and then imagine it done by one of those pop/punk bands that existed around 2008/9 (think Boys Like Girls, Good Charlotte, Move Along-era All-American Rejects or We The Kings). It fits so perfectly that I kinda wish there were a punk band that did pop music covers because I also secretly thought Kesha songs would sound really good done by a punk band. edit: I'm very glad we all agree that Run Away With Me is the best song. If your soul doesn't start flying the moment that sax kicks in at the very beginning I don't think you have one DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 04:07 on May 31, 2017 |

Reflecting upon my own rankings I think I like CRJ's Pat Benatar side more than the Debbie Gibson. Doesn't matter though because everything she does is gold anyway, carlyraeisbae.

It has a great intro but it truly feels like a minute long idea that was rearranged into a song. Each time I listen to it I expect it to be better than it should be and it never is. It's such a weirdly disappointing track.

Once through on Witness, it's not quite as good as Prism but it's also not as all over the place if that makes sense. I warmed up to most of her singles (Swish Swish will get there but it's definitely the weakest of the three IMO). Lyrically, it's a much weaker album that before but the music is very much on my level. It's a better album than I feared but it's not her best. Also really digging Halsey's new one. That's been a really solid album for me for the past week.

Katy Perry is definitely probably a better person. Their music is a wash for me, both about equal, I did like Taylor Swifts country better than I liked her pop though.

screenwritersblues posted:There's something about this feud that feels old Hollywood to me. It almost on par with Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, but not really there. It's gonna get ugly when Taylor release her new album. it's nice that after a period where everyone in pop music seemed to, if not like each other, then at least respect each other, we have a good old fashioned diva rivalry going. I appreciate Katy Perry for being outspoken about politics during the 2016 election where Taylor stayed silent, and Katy has some really great singles, but I think Taylor runs laps around her in the pop music realm. It helps that Katy is seemingly dive-bombing her career into the middle of a concrete desert with this new album and her "new look" (which is shamelessly copying Miley Cyrus circa 3 years ago). It's hilarious that, for a brief moment (after her first single from this album came out) she was talking about making pop music with a meaning and then came out with a pair of songs about how great her pussy tastes and how terrible Taylor Swift/Remy Ma are. I get the feeling we are going to get a new single from Ms. Swift by the end of the summer and a new album this fall (since she finally broke her every-other-year pattern last year), and I'm very curious which direction it's going to take. I could see it taking the sound from 1989 and making a Fearless-esque album of nothing but Swift originals, but I know there have been rumors of her moving in a more hip-hop oriented direction as well (which dear sweet jesus please do not be true). I have no idea if we're going to get any really great pop albums this year. Lorde, Lana and Haim are coming out this year, and Selena and Gaga have released summer singles, but none of the truly A-list stars are on the map aside from Katy. Lorde will probably earn a permanent spot on that list if her album is successful, but I feel like right now the A-List is pretty much Katy/Taylor/Gaga/Beyonce/Grande/Adele and any of the bonafide legends (Britney/Madonna/Mariah/Janet/etc), and we got a lot of albums from that lot last year. Then you have the B-list which is either instantly recognizable people who don't quite have the same level of consistent success or lots of critical success but no radio play (Selena/Demi/Lorde/Miley or Lana/Carly/Charli/Robyn) and then the C-list which is filled with people who have had one hit or have a bit of girl-group pedigree (anyone from Fifth Harmony, Iggy Azalea, anyone on a Chainsmokers track, Zara Larsson). And then the entirely separate (because for the most part they all suck) mens list, which we've gotten quite a few albums from this year (Sheeran, Chainsmokers, Train, any member of One Direction) but again, they all suck (because we got new Bruno Mars last year and he's the only man I have any faith in to release quality radio pop unless Justin Timberlake revives his music career again)

Taylor Swift isn't a brilliant live singer (the chief metric of raw ability) but she's practically Aretha Franklin compared with Katy Perry on that front. I know nobody goes to see pop diva shows because they expect brilliant vocal performances but at least Taylor Swift has never done anything this terrible (that I'm aware of).

Ariana drops absolutely loving massive singles about every 6 months. She's like Bruno Mars in that her albums are short, but all of the songs are potential hits, and there are always a few that are absolutely stellar. Into You might have been the best single of last year IMO

I remember the Top 40 channel they had on constantly in the gym seemed to have "Focus" on every time I went. I have no strong feelings one way or the other about that song but it's really distracting how in the video there's one bit where Ariana Grande and her backing dancers are all playing trumpets when I'm pretty sure it's saxophones that are playing. It sort of annoyed me at the time. Remember when there was a brief craze for saxophone solos about five years ago? I don't think it amounted to very much but Kenny G did one in that one Katy Perry song and Clarence Clemons (RIP) showed up in "The Edge of Glory".
