Cold War is her best song imo... out of both albums..

* real quick.. I am always talkin about music.. but you do understand Janelle doesnt exist in the way you hear or see her without the industry dollar right? have u seen the personnel for her album?

do you know how much it is to travel with a huge ass band and you only did 21k first week? The is art AS commerce not just art for arts sake.

I don't really see as much of the backlash you speak of. Sure there are probably some execs telling her to sex it up some more.. throw on a skirt. But the whole point of contention about her image is marketing. It keeps her name in the limelight when you can write think pieces on her.

In general though it seems like gen pop has accepted it.. fashion world loves it, lil girls dressing has her for halloween.. people (like u) freaking out when she took her 'costume' off

we might as well end it here... I want better songs out of her.. you think they exist now.. I don't. I think cold war, neon valley street, locked inside were the start of something awesome... I don't hear anything close to those songwriting wise on this album and it sounds more disjointed and less focused.. complicated doesn't mean better, intent needs to match output..

But man go buy the album... make sure your friends do.. as long as she is still a viable product she
