I don't know how you can say that. Might I suggest that you go back and take another listen to Marry The Night, Americano, You and I and Edge of Glory at the very least - I don't know how anyone can say these are bad songs. If I didn't work at such a quiet place I'd crank Marry The Night up *real* loud right now and dance around my cubicle.

Edge of Glory just sounded so generic to me...but I will revisit Born This Way. Who knows, I may love it now!

I can say that because the only thought that runs through my head when that album spins is.......SHUT THE HELL UP, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok.....I've got to stop making such rash critques so fast. Artpop is growing on me. I realize there is sooooooooo much of it the bad tracks just stick out.

You take out.

Jewels n Drugs
Swine
Donatella
Fashion
Mary Jane Holland.

You take those out and you do, IMO, have a much stronger album. I've been just absorbing the record.......there really are some good tunes. Aura, G.U.Y, ARTPOP, dope Gypsy, Applause. But the mid-point of this album.......i maintain is a dog.

Agreed on these! I don't care for Dope, or Aura. I actually really like Donatella! I don't like the song Manicure really, but I think if she wants to make money she could release it as a single. It's very Top 40/Katy Perry IMO.

I find it interesting that Stevie loves people like Gaga and Katy Perry, when her music has never fit the pop template that they use. To me, someone like Martha Wainwright is more in the Stevie "tradition" as a distinctive and original singer/songwriter.

I'd also love to hear Stevie work with PJ Harvey, the way Marianne Faithfull did on Before the Poison.

some of us have a range of taste I also like Slip Knot , Iron Maiden, Loretta Lynn , and Bulgarian pop singer Azis , Some people only listen to singers who sound like her .... and some people are obsessed to the point where everything else sucks ?

I am just surprised that you know him. He performs a mixture of pop, local folk and oriental, a music style that became extremely popular in Eastern Europe during the 90's and is often referred as turbo-folk. It's rare to see someone outside this part of Europe that likes it since it's pretty much limited to a few countries that share similarities in traditional folk music. Its a music style that even people who live here are very polarized about. Personally not my cup of tea, but from what I've heard, Azis can sing. It's great to see such variety in music tastes.

Hi Olive. I didn't mean to sound critical or dismissive of people who make different music than Stevie. Much as I love her, variety is good. From liking Stevie's music I discovered Indie and alternative when I'd read reviews that praised the lyrics. From Peter Green era Mac I discovered the early blues musos that influenced them.

Stevie is a total teeny-bopper-bubble-gum-pop lover. Weird, huh?
