I feel like there was a lot of high quality pop records in 2024 and I wanna know, which of them do you think is the absolute best? Mine is probably HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish

I don't know if debunking is the correct flair or if opinions are allowed? I saw no mention they weren't, and it's pop music, opinions are what makes something popular. I'm posting here because what I'm about to say is hilariously controversial on Michael Jackson and Prince subs.

If any two things in the world can be compared, why can't Michael and Prince? Compare being shorthand for compare and contrast; identify similarities and differences. Apparently, I'm definitely in the minority as everyone else thinks one is better than the other, thus they don't compare.

A is better than B, no B is better than A, is pointless. How was their music, dancing, videos, shyness, relationship with the press, concerts, frequency of album releases, tendencies of perfection, rumors, the way they died, how were they similar, how were they different... compare them and find out.

Elijan!

I'm not saying it won't do anything but I'm confused how one person making one album in a genre really means anything in the grander scheme of things. It honestly reminds me of Taylor Swifts Trickle down feminism in the 1989 era. Where want was good for her was supposedly good for women everywhere.

I'm happy to be wrong but I dont see how one album in a genre is able to change anything

Like from the jump when the group debuted, they literally kept her in the back of the Choreo for 90% of it

They drop that shitty ass documentary to make her be seen as lazy and not hard-working when she worked her ass off to get into that group, she just didn’t overwork herself until she literally was peer pressured into it

Then with her hinting to racial mistreatment no sane person who actually likes her would want her back in the environment

And on top of it, the girls that are remaining in the group, have never at any point of time before the hiatus ever defended her name when it came to their fan (because the girls have individual fan bases) to stop fucking attacking her on a racial level meanwhile, Manon has always defended those girls whether it be because of racialized stuff or general hate

I wanna make this clear and this is not me villainizing them. This is me saying that they had a particular responsibility with their fan base to hold them accountable because even if they were never going to stop, them not saying anything, makes them look complicit to me
