Oh for once you gave me back hope.

If there's someone's voice I really don't want to listen to with M's is that Taylor thing's one ... believe me, I was never able to like Gaga but I tried cause I wanted to find some fun in her character ... but with Swift, wow ... I could never even try 

Quite excited and supportive for another good The Weekend collab instead, still loving Popular a lot!!

Sabrina is neither sexy or catchy lol

Really cause you left like 3 comments in the Sabrina Carpenter thread. She's kinda irresistible so I don't blame you for starting to budge lol

She doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor to me, so it’s just seeing her name over and over that has me intrigued.

Is it to late to fire her and replace her with Sabrina? Madonna and Sabrina can do a sexy dance for the weeknd sitting down smoking a cigar or whatever

Would people be able to tell who is Madonna and who is Sabrina?

I loved Espresso. I gave the album a listen and I'm not overly excited about it though.

We dont want it. Dont do it madonna please please please

Love Popular with M and The Weekend. So I’m down for this if true. Taylor, well we’ll take her because she’s big and well pull the streams.

Ugh, no Taylor Swift, please. Actually, no collabs. I'm tired of them :(

Madonna still currently has over 40M monthly listeners on Spotify, and that's a lot due to Popular (that now has over 900M streams). Years ago, Madonna had around 20M monthly listeners. I knew that a great, well-promoted collab could up her numbers. Y'all cannot deny the immense power of The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and other such megastars.

As for Rihanna, she hasn't released much these past years but is currently number 6 in the world w/ over 84M monthly listeners, which is quite impressive. Maybe she should have Madonna on her comeback single if there is ever one.

Taylor is great I don't get the hate.  Once you get past the fluff like Shake It Off, You Need To Calm Down. Me, Look What You Made Me Do there's heaps to be enjoyed. I think she does have a habit of releasing some of the worst tracks on the albums as singles TBH but the fanbase seem to make sure the best ones rise to the top through streaming like August & Cruel Summer. I wasn't convinced either at first but her voice is lovely and syrupy and her writing is actually sublime in places.

She really hones in on human emotions and those thoughts in your head very eloquently and poetically. . It took me by surprise actually after hearing the singles she's released. If Max Martin could give Madonna anything as sublime as Style I'd be thrilled. It's a perfect pop song.

No Swiffer propaganda allowed here✋🚔🚨

adulting is tough huh

[xavier 5,196]

Maybe The Weekend can swap out Swift for Sabrina Carpenter 🤔🤪

[steady75 10,294]

I actually found Sabrinas album a bit of a tough listen. It's very 90's Destiny's Child man hater energy. It got a bit tiresome after a few tracks.

You see? I always try to make a good, critical boy, so you wrote about this Style track and I went and listened to it. And I really can't get it sorry. It sounds predictable, flat, inexpressive. And it's not just one thing, it's ll of it: the melody, the lyrics, the video, the arrangement. The problem with her is that all of her tracks sound like this, even when she tries to explore different genres, they all tend to have the same kinda hook, the usual emotional crescendos with very easy chords and she always manages to be kinda sweet and proper ... Never provocative, she talks about herself, there is almost nothing more than her own things in her music, it's quite a strange world with no wars, no oppressions, no injustice. 

I don't know, maybe it's just because in real life I always try to avoid such bad companies ...

No hating intended though, I'm posting this because I really tried again and went to listen to the Martin's track and I wanted to share what I got from it 

[steady75 10,294]

Fair enough. I thought it pretty much universal that Style was pop perfection and Taylors best track. It was also sonically analysed to have the pace, melody and chord progressions that appeal to the human ear. There were think pieces on it at the time I wouldn't be able to find them now but here's a couple.

Were Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald busy?

M and Janet getting together anytime from 1990- 1994 would have blown up the world. Even with a terrible song ("Hey Bertney!!!!") we'd still be talking about it.

According to the MInfinity experts, "Vulgar" was going to be a #1 smash and should have been included on Erotica. So I would definitely trust them, don't mind me.

Another Collab...can i please have Madonna (well not The blessed one) & Kylie for a Disco Track... Thank You

It's intriguing, a good The Weekend teaser, but I don't see any hints about Taylor or Madonna at this point. Usually rumours tend to get big before the release if they are true, not the other way around...
