Why does Taylor Swift get a free pass from ILX?
― Emily's Cheese, Thursday, 11 February 2010 03:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Why do people not understand what "free pass" means?
― some dude, Thursday, 11 February 2010 04:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Don't play innocent. ILX is basically the Neville Chamberlain of Taylor Swift evaluation.
― pithfork (Hurting 2), Thursday, 11 February 2010 04:12 (fourteen years ago) link
Wouldn't free pass imply universal approval and not constant debate and controversy over people liking her?

I guess popists are scared of Lady Gaga because
1. She isn't R&B or hip-hop2. She appeals to the same kinds of audiences that have made R&B/hip-hop very huge the past 10 years.

would you say that she has a "hood pass"?

there's a perfectly good lady gaga thread at
Lady Gaga needs her own thread
ppl could bump that one with gaga news since it doesn't have a stupid Q in the title
― zvookster, Thursday, 11 February 2010 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link
people pick the worst possible threads to bump here all the time (for instance, "Haiti: WTF?" became the post-earthquake thread and "If you hate J.D. Salinger sooooooo much" the official RIP thread), at least with this one it's funny to keep reviving it.

it's a dumb thing to bump because there was a thread with actual discussion in it that people use all the time and wasn't started by a sockpuppet

It's gonna be weird looking back at stuff in decades to come and seeing people riled up about hipster this and hipster that. It's like people complaining about beatniks, or Dean Martin going on about the Rolling Stones.

We’re slap-bang in the middle of a pop era which is seeing singers knowingly redefining themselves and creating personas. Every single one of them is aping GaGa’s moves. Beyonce wanted a piece of the GaGa action and Rihanna went from being the archetypal ghetto hustler to someone between the two.
yessir

gaga is awesome
― Ballistic, Sunday, 28 February 2010 13:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I dunno about Rihanna -- her image kinda is what it is since before Gaga hit, and the changes she have made seem far more tied to the Chris Brown thing than any attempt to respond to passing trends

― Jamie_ATP, Sunday, 28 February 2010 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
haha -- well Beyonce I would actually agree with, she wasn't doing anything remotely like the "Videophone" vid before Gaga, but Rihanna's new videos are totally of a piece with "Disturbia," "Shut Up And Drive," various award show performances, etc.

so glad lady gaga invented being weird and arty--really hope this catches on!

this sentence

kind of invalidates the whole idea that mof gimmers is qualified to talk abt contemporary pop music

The most obviously stupid thing about it is that all of the Gaga fans I know are white. Very white.Is 'the ghetto' currently full of black folks who really 'get it' and are rollin with Just Dance pumping out of their car stereos, laughing at all of us whities who only get down to Tom Petty and Joanna Newsom? :-(
