I imagine the sound of the sentence in the beginning of London Boy is the equivalent of when Flemish artists, who do not sing in my dialect, try to force their version of my dialect upon the GP and it physically hurts me every time. Not even the Flemish-unties on the forum can relate dddddd.

I gave Monopoly a 0 for its meaning within Ariana’s discography - it has no meaning at all and indulges all of her worst tendencies as a popstar, nobody around her telling her to slow down and all of that for such a nothing song. Yes it’s “fine” but it’s also boring and I hope she’s dormant now until she’s ready to begin a new era and doesn’t continue to imitate the mixtape droppers she said she wanted to be like.

You like my hair? Gee thanks. Just lost it.

Before she endorsed Bernie Sanders, Socialist Queen was already laying the groundwork for her 1% brethren to distribute their wealth by way of buying diamonds for their best friends. Benevolent! Generous! Poor the girls who just asked for paper rings, pfeh. Even more charitable? Signing away 90% of the royalties for this very big hit to the estates of Rodgers & Hammerstein in exchange for sampling My Favorite Things. Probably won't make no money off this, oh well, but at least little Oscar Hammerstein the Ninth has his boarding school paid for.

I'll admit this is not the sound I run to Ariana for, and sonically and lyrically it's a bit of an outlier on its parent album. I recall some hand-wringing that the album would follow this template, which ultimately didn't come to pass. The whiplash of this after the self flagellating introspection of 'in my head', nn, but I guess we deal with grief in different ways, don't we dears? And some of us go to Tiffany's and spend a zillion dollars.

'7 rings' was a runaway hit from day one, piggybacking off 'thank u next's domination to become one of Ariana's biggest hits - eight weeks at #1, including its debut; two Grammy nominations; performances everywhere; and a year-end chart placement of #69 (nice). Some of you hate it, but what can ya do!







 
I did not suffer from PTSD due to my Sound of Music obsessed/vaguely German nationalist parents forcing me and my four blonde sisters to perform The Lonely Goatherd, Edelweiss, and So Long Farewell for friends and relatives at every possible occasion for this insufferable trash to get no less than four 10s. Good riddance!!
