Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad & The Beyonce In This Week’s Reader Comments
The past week brought us a headline-grabbing performance from Kanye West at Coachella, the return of American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook, a divisive new single from Beyonce and statements from Natalia Kills about being compared to Lady Gaga. Oh, yeah—we also sat down with soul punk Patrick Stump for a fun video interview! Head below top see how our readers reacted to this wave of pop euphoria.
:: Albert shined all of his lights on Kanye West Has All That Power At Coachella: “kanye west was great/full of energy as always. funny thing is, during the live-stream via youtube, channel 2 featuring she wants revenge had to end early due to technical difficulties. VERY SAD for those fans. but imagine if that was kanye west’s stream…i guess it could have been worse.”
:: Tiff Tayeon, on the other hand, thought Beyonce sounded more like a false idol: “FLOP!!!! HAHAHA! TEAM GODNEY/RIHALLAH/KE$HUS CHRIST”
:: Brandon Hall wound up being a Bey-liever: “What I’m really liking about this is, it reminds me of Destiny’s Child. Its a little sassy, its a little funky its in your face and most of all its a lot of fun, I love it.”
:: Missy agreed with The Best Review Of Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)”: “They hit the nail on the coffin–Bey is hyped so much that we essentially expect more from her. Her new song reminds me of DIVA, and if I remember correctly, Diva was released later on and not a first single. This should not be Bey’s BIG BANG.”
:: Tony saw the light at the end of the tunnel, though: “The song is not a piece of crap. It’s a catchy pop tune, and as that it does a good job of giving David a shot at a Top 40 hit. That’s not called selling out – it’s called establishing a career in the current climate. I love rock music, but the majority doesn’t seem to agree anymore. David will undoubtedly have heavier songs on his album, but the first single needed to get the masses interested.”
:: Caitlin got a lovebug from Patrick Stump: The Idolator Interview: “Patrick stop being so adorable all the time or I’m going to have to find you and just hug you…for a very. long. time”
