TwistedElegance™ Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Not y'all giving this white woman a pass. That is fucking pitiful and glad this racist pos finally got what was coming to her. Decrying racism with racism. Well done. And what exactly was coming to her? It's respectable numbers I suppose. Nothing to brag about. Spot on. Nicki Minaj: 244k Drake: 500k To be considered Respectable, it has to AT LEAST cross the 150k or be a n00b.. 115k is respectable for the likes of John Mayer or A dead MJ.. But for a living legend with sold out tours? It's not respectable as it is expectable. Maybe if her flop didn't leak 3 months in advanced and if she didn't say the N-word and/or if she didn't break an iPod Touch and posted it on Instagram then maybe it would be considered 'respectable' Let's take a look at the most recent first-week sales of other living legends with sold out tours: Bruce Springsteen - 99,000 Cher - 63,000 Paul McCartney - 67,000 Elton John - 48,000 Barbra Streisand - 196,000 Celine Dion - 77,000 Prince - 51,000 (77,000 if you add sales from his band's album released the same week) My original statement holds. This is not bad news for anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 The article I read pretty much supported the argument that older acts who still matter are all challenged to sale music in big numbers in today's music world. There are few older acts that appeal to those who buy music, and that's mainly teens as. I understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasSad Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've been listening to the Empire soundtrack non stop. It's so good and Jussie Smollett is bae. Is the song he did with Patti and him on there? He was trying to dance tonight. He needs Janet by his side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawdToday Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Decrying racism with racism. Well done. And what exactly was coming to her? Calling out a white racist is not racism. You ok?? And spare me the whole fighting fire with fire bullshit. Again, these number are pitiful and shoutout to Empire for putting this broad in her place.

Describing Madonna as a white woman in the context of your post is not discerning her skin colour, it's fixating on it. I'll spare you the fighting-fire-with-fire "bullshit" when you stop making racist comments yourself, in here and on the rest of the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Calling Madonna a white woman is not racist.. Within context, it certainly is. For these reasons: 1. Everybody here knows who Madonna is, therefore nobody here needs to be told she's white. There's an acceptability that comes from necessity, like when a character enters a story and the reader is told they're a white woman. What purpose does the colour of Madonna's skin serve in this thread? 2. In a post as aggressive as LT's, it was unnecessary, therefore I find it unacceptable. Context is key. 3. LT is a repeat offender. He's called Caucasian women 'lily white' and 'peckerwood' on here before. Would you be as cool if our roles were reversed?

jarrylf Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 My personal opinion is its a fail, I believe 100k+ is successful when your last album did around that number or if you never got there before, but....when a artist of her stature who's last album sold so well, doesn't make half of what that album did....., Im not impressed but it's not horrible but it's just not good, it's not completely clockable and it's not completely praisable, it sit's in the middle it can be praised but it can be clocked too, thats how it seems to me. #thatisall But god are his gifs of people no one knows and centered type ON POINT.

Her album ain't flopping because she's old it's flopping cause it sucks I think age has a lot to do with it. Last time she had the Clear Channel deal and a Top 10 single as well as the ticket bundling whereas now she's kinda standing on her own again. This is actually her best reviewed album in a decade.
