The Random Thought Thread

Beyoncé > Gaga in every possible thing. Gaga can't even dance properly.

Gaga is the better singer vocally. I also have a lot more Gaga songs in my playlist than Beyonce's.
I'm not very taken by Beyonce as a songwriter and her catalogue.
Beyonce tries, but sounds forced when she sings big ballads like Listen.
Whenever I listen to her sing that song, I always have to feeling she's not gonna make it.
That's why I find it hard to listen to Beyonce sometimes.

I am not trying to start drama. Just want a better understand. Can someone explain this for me????? How does this work????

What are you trying to understand?

Why Britney is given a higher worldwide total than Bey despite Bey selling more.

However, that's MJD's practice of putting his opinion on artists. That's how Mariah got a smaller total from him in 2017 than what she already had in 2006. So artists can indeed lose sales over time. Mariah Carey loses 5 million albums from her total every 10 years.

[Wayne]

^^^ Look at the figures. I do believe that Britney's album passed 10 million, but how is it that DIL is at 9.9 million when that album has topped "Britney" in most countries he posted.

Oh I see.

I suspect it's something to do with Asia - Britney was still pretty big in Asia around that time.

Regardless, it is just one person's estimate.

I want to make sure that this isn't about Britney vs Beyonce. I was simply speaking on sales predictions...

we cannot trust anybody anymore. BMG estimates Modern Talking to have sold 120 million albums worldwide. Now you may say... what is a Modern Talking? That was a German pop-duo from the 1980's who have sold around 6 million albums in Germany... but apparently 114 million albums in the former Soviet Union.

I seriously believe that Nana Mouskouri has sold 300 million albums now. Where? Nobody knows! But it is confirmed.

[RayRay]

^ Modern Talking was also big in Asia and most of Europe.

[spiritboy]

It was a big group but 120 million albums?

[spiritboy]

We're almost at the end of May and it's cold and raining when it's supposed to be 30+ degrees.

Is there a river in Germany where you can swim? Or you guys have to settle with swimming pools?

[flopho]

^this is what they call a beach here

[MusicRecords]

^so f*kn lame almost looks like just setting up the Danube in Vienna

[spiritboy]

It's better than nothing i guess

[RayRay]

It's 30+ degrees here. Love it. But no way am I going to the beach here.
It's one big traffic jam to get there and when you finally reach the beach, it's soooo crowded. And the water is still cold.

I only go to beaches when I'm on holiday, where there is plenty of room on the beach, you don't have to drive far and the water is warm.

[RayRay]

Do people on here think Subo a music legand or icon?
Read a really good article about those that come from talent shows.
Her fans think she's changed the music industry and artists sell because of her.

I think it's rubbish.

I had no clue who you were talking about. Subo????
Till I saw the picture of Susanne Boyle.
I think she's got an incredible voice and has recorded some beautiful songs.
But she is far from a legend or icon.

[TIfan]

She has had success but definitely not a legend. She will be an icon based on many factors I believe.

[Carbon]

Does she even make music anymore? I don't think people know ha apart from going viral at X Factor or whatever the show was. Unless it's different in the UK

[theArmy]

I'm not delighted that the news of my ban didn't have its own thread in the general k?mix section.

[Wayne]

Susan's online fan base is quite legendary - I've read their posts and their delusion is on another level. I actually find it to be frightening.

My former friend's dad was a huge fan, sometimes when I visited he was listening to them for like 10 hours and when I came they were already on when I was about to leave they were still on, smh.

You can't swim in german most rivers
Water going too fast because they were artificially modified
Also way too many ships

At least where I live (Rhein/Neckar/Mosel/Main rivers)

[TIfan]

Artist from the 60s and 70s worked so damn hard... I love reading stories on them.

I remember Diana Ross said she did not know how many hits The Supremes had because they were too busy working. That's incredible.

These artist would record, promote, and perform back to back to back.

You have many lakes to take a swim there, though.

[Gravity]

Why bother with lakes and rivers when you have sea #livinginCroatia

It only sucks if you can't afford a trip to the coastline (also #livinginCroatia)
