Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad & The Spears In This Week’s Reader Comments
Between the anticipation for Lady Gaga’s upcoming album Born This Way (due out May 23) and the release of Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” single this week, the inhabitants of Planet Pop had plenty to say online. Head below to see how our readers weighed in on both heavily-discussed topics over the past seven days. :: made2105 jumped to David Cook’s defense in last week’s Whatcha Say comments roundup: “What Krissy had to say about David Cook’s new video teaser is pure jealousy! She must be another AI alumni ’s fan. I wonder what musical talent has to do with looks! *scratches head* Not that David doesn’t have both!”
:: Roger, however, took offense in Franc’s statement: “It’s amazing how people keep calling Britney Spears’ music ‘manufactured’ when all songs out there are. As far as I’m concerned, whoever finds quality in Lady Gaga’s songs is plain stupid. What is so good about ;ruh, ruh, rah.ah ah?’ Is that even lyrical? If there’s one thing that Lady Gaga’s good at, it definitely is not her lyrics but her borrowed beats.”
:: ZMH was equally smitten: “It sounds like the best of kesha kesha never has!And that dubstep breakdown is major! Maybe the song is not that amazing, but (curiously) as a sucker for anyting britney i’m completely hooked on this anyway.”
:: And our buddy Brandon Hall wasn’t going to let Britney hold anything against him: “I’m actually not liking this at all, actually, its a rare miss this song sounds like something left off of Circus, like a bonus, but definitely not lead single worthy at all. I’m so disappointed, this is not the single I was hoping it would be. Britney is facing a lot of heavy competition this year from artist that shall remain nameless. Everyone will be watching the numbers and chart performance I just don’t see this song making a lasting impact.”
:: Sandi thought we needed to sober up after reading Kelly Rowland’s New Track “Hangover” Gives Us A Migraine: “Why is every song she does always given negative reviews by all the sites. But, all of those silly no talented women can put out trash as is give rave reviews. Are you all getting paid to put her down?”
:: Finally, hairs what Breigh had to say on Adam Lambert’s Shows Off Free Swag And His New ‘Do: “Adam Lambert is beautiful ….no matter how he wears his hair. Channeling Bon Jovi? I don’t think so…he just loves to change it up. I’m sure he’s fine with all the gifts he got…no one said he had to jump up and down…just smile….that’s enough.. He’s the most adorable guy in the World !!!”
