    Michael Jackson

    I don't blame anyone for being unwilling to listen to Michael Jackson given the enormity of the allegations, but the effort that's now begun to purge him from the cultural memory is Orwellian. It will never fully succeed, and it shouldn't. He's one of the defining figures in the history of...

    Whitney Houston

    I don't understand why that compilation of her live performances was so nitpicked and panned. It was honestly great to have something new from her on CD and I still listen to it quite frequently.

    Austin Mahone

    His career is a mess, but I love this. Let me fully soak in this guilty pleasure. I'm impressed that he got Mr. Worldwide to show up for the video.

    Frankmusik

    I dig the new song. The production is a tad harsh but bangs very hard. His passionate voice and strong falsetto really elevate my enjoyment of his newer material. He's a better singer than Justin Timberlake.

    Nicki Minaj - Queen

    I had to burst out laughing at Drake's part. Both his rapping and fashion are appalling.

    This is a good piece on Joy Villa, the "singer" who appears in that video. She's utterly talentless, morally vile and incredibly desperate for attention.

    LeToya Luckett

    I love her. She's certainly the most underrated member of Destiny's Child! I'm happy we're getting another album.

    Madonna

    "MDNA" is not only her worst album, it's her only mediocre album release ever.

    Jennifer Hudson - The Gift of Love + General Discussion

    I was one of the few people that really liked her last album (well, 70% of it). I'm not feeling this. It feels like the last few tracks on "J-Hud", which were quite weak.

    RuPaul - Mamaru

    I can easily picture that, honestly!

    U.S. Politics

    I'm a Sanders supporter and generally anti-interventionist, but Tulsi is a mess. She's way too conciliatory to Trump and a lot of her stances seem underpinned by pure Islamophobia more than any moral objections to war. America admits a ridiculously small number of refugees given its massive size...

    RuPaul - Mamaru

    I've always thought of Ru's post-debut albums as crash grabs but this is a lot better than I expected! I love RuPaul's appopriation of the iconic "diana" font for the album cover. I'm curious what her best songs are, other than the classics from her debut.

    U.S. Politics

    You reveal such a lack of self-awareness here that it simply cannot go without comment. Your thinking and worldview are exactly the same as what you're critiquing. You never, ever mention human rights abusers that are friendly to the US (el-Sisi, Bibi, the Saudi and Bahraini regimes) but are...

    Janet Jackson

    I am so shocked. For some reason, I really thought they'd be together forever. All the best for Janet and Eissa (I can't pretend I really care about Wissam).

    U.S. Politics

    It's fascinating to see how people's concerns over humanitarian crises fall entirely along political and nationalistic lines. The same people urging America to go to war in Syria are turning a blind eye, if not offering outright support, to the ethnic cleansing that Saudi Arabia is waging in...

    U.S. Politics

    Many of these same people carried water for and enabled Bush's worst behavior for years. It's a sign of the utmost seriousness to support the "Commander-in-Chief." Why stop with Bush? Peter Daou and his ilk are already beside themselves with reverence for Trump's bravery.

    U.S. Politics

    Trump is getting the message that the best way to boost his approval ratings and win plaudits from the mainstream media (which he is utterly obsessed with) is to initiate military conflicts. This is not going to be pretty. Let's not forget this news story from a while back: "Nearly 300 died in...

    Grace Jones

    She has to be the only major artist to focus on doing covers of contemporary rock artists. All of her remakes are immaculate. It's not something I've seen anyone else do. "Demolition Man", "Private Life", "She's Lost Control", "Use Me", "Love is the Drug", "Breakdown", "Nightclubbing" and "Me...

    Madonna

    "Voices" is amazing as a song but I can only listen to the orchestral version. I hate the distortion in the album version.
