    Are you honestly trying to argue that Speak Now and Red don't count as "safe" when they were basic country-folksy/pop inspired albums that both sold over 4 million copies in the US each?  Why are you pushing a narrative that Taylor's music is some deep indie genre that's pushing the envelope? I could sort of understand the argument earlier about Miley being a good performance and doing some outrageous things even if I personally found them forced, but this narrative of Taylor's music being different from the norm is frankly ludicrous to me, especially when discussing Red since the 2 biggest hits from that album were co-written and produced by Max Martin, aka the most generic songwriter/producer in the business even back then.

    And how are Folklore and Evermore any different from the country albums that Taylor released when she first came out on the music scene? I don't understand how anyone could claim that is Taylor "reviving" anything; her relying on the country-folk sound again doesn't sound like innovation to me; genre hopping can be done right as we've seen with Madonna and a few other artists, but Taylor going from country-folk to pop and then back to a folksy sound within a decade isn't exactly a reinvention from my viewpoint. 

    Also you're going to have to be more specific about what "generation" means when talking about Taylor and Miley specifically, because you apparently don't count Beyonce or Pink yet you implied that Gaga, Demi, and Selena were from the same generation as Miley and Taylor despite all 7 of these girls releasing music at around the same time. So I'm a bit confused about that.

    Go sit down and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, you about to bust a blood vessel ?

    We can't judge Miley on her Bangerz and her Dead Petz eras. Madonna herself has said that she was lucky enough to have a childhood far from the spotlight. Miley didn't, so she had to react somehow. I admire her for not attracting her audience out of pity, which is something I notice about Gaga, Selena, Demi and is something I definitely don't want Madonna to do. I'm sure Miley is finding her artistry the older she gets and she finally made her first quite well received record. 

    Taylor on the other hand, hasn't made only safe music. Why would an album like Speak Now or Red stand any chance in 2010 and 2012 when pop music was headed to a different direction? Why is Folklore and Evermore radio friendly exactly? When Madonna was pretending to be trendy with RnB back in 2008, Taylor ruled with country. When Madonna pretended to be trendy again with edm MDNA, Taylor ruled with country again and an album she almost completely wrote by herself. Whether she as a growing young woman was attacked enough or not by the media, let her and her family decide. I think she might be the only woman out there who can match Madonna and be revived with every era, standing on top or next to it for so long. It has to take balls to do that somehow. Pity and some good vocals only get you this far...

    Oh and I'm talking about this generation of girls only. None of them is Beyonce. None of them is P!nk etc.

    You are so right.

    I also admire Taylor for speaking out on artists owning the rights to their masters. How the industry is so unfair when it comes to artists writes and control over their work. 

    I also think she is pretty ballsy to think f**k it and re-record her whole back catalogue, I think that takes courage and strength, she is very intelligent and has a lot of strength. 

    I absolutely adore 'Folklore' and 'Evermore'. I was never a fan of her music or her until I heard those albums and I'm so glad I woke up to how incredibly talented and good she is as a musician and lyricist.

    Miley is just one annoying voiceless/talentless girl. She’s just forced to be a singer tbh. She had her time back when she used to be a teenager with girls loving her Hanna whatever. Now she’s just trying hard & people are bored already. ?

    She definitely isn't voiceless or talentless. I'm not a huge fan but some of her live performances have really blew me away.

    She has a great voice, there is no question about it. She might not be to your style but she can definitely sang!

    Guys are we really that bored??  Who cares what bloody way her face is supposed to be?  It looks great either way, just enjoy the album!

    It's one of my favourite Madonna albums and I love the photoshoot. These photos and the ones from the Human Nature single are my favourite images of her. She looks absolutely gorgeous!

    How anyone can say she looks ugly is beyond me, can we see your gorgeous face on your own album cover? THOUGHT NOT! ?

    So Prince is releasing another deluxe album ?

    I would literally live off bread and water if they released box sets like this for her first album, Like A Prayer, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Ray Of Light, Confessions, Hard Candy.

    I still think it's crazy how none of her albums have had the remastered expanded deluxe treatment. I want all her albums released with all the outtakes, demos, alternate versions, edits, remixes in one place. I'm tired of trying to download all the different demos out there etc...

    She should do it now whilst she's still alive and reep the rewards from it, at this stage I'd prefer this than a new album. The Prince releases are amazing and I'm a huge fan of his, but I somehow feel bad buying them after his passing.

    It will be the same with Madonna, if all this stuff is released after she is no longer with us it's a little bittersweet and I'd rather her be involved with it all and not have some label damaging her legacy and making all the cash from it.

    Hopefully one day we will get these and the tours in blu-ray :pray:

    I just returned from Paris on Thursday. This was my 4th trip there in the last 5 years, and the security process is extreme, but usually highly efficient and organized, but they do love a paper ticket with a barcode, so I hope the handwritten ticketing isn't going to be a crazy process, and with the Yondr pouches, too

    Yes hopefully it will flow smoothly and efficiently to make up for waiting 3 hours in the cold ?

    Security does seem extreme but that can only be a good thing right? I guess they have no choice with recent events in the world. At least hopefully everyone will be safe ??
