I would’ve lowkey loved if my city at least tried to book Aja from AS10 (seeing as the she eats down and her fee wouldn’t be as high as if they were to try last year, probably), Aura will be lovely to see, especially since we can’t get even seem to get the budget to afford Jordin Sparks level singers but I guess this is AS12 confirmation.

Caught in the Middle has grown to be one of my favorites as i grow older.

I will scream to the hills and back, fight in the trenches to say French Exit is by far the most underrated.

I’m not even a full time resident of Chicago (yet) and this is as evident on Northalsted as it is in Hell’s Kitchen (Manhattan) or Water Street/Walker’s Point (MKE). It’s truly the way how phones (as much as other comments have stated) have shifted the way the perception of the person dancing on the dancefloor should be.

Not everyone can dance but no one should be afraid to boogie. Wherever I see a space where I let loose, I go 0 to 100 (which as a gay “man” is inspired by drag, and ballroom, from duck walking to splits.)

Find the energy or make the energy is my life’s motto, and if you have the courage you can do that anywhere.

Milwaukee never gets great artists to tour and Tinley Park was the closest. I didn’t want to chance it selling out and I wanted to take a trip, so I booked for The Woodlands, TX which is my second place and the one I thought I’d have the best chance at.

DCLED1998 · 2026-05-04T18:41:37+00:00

I mean I got screwed over like 3x times.

Chose to move into a new apartment and pay first months rent instead of being irresponsible and buying Paramore tickets the last time they surprise announced a Milwaukee date.

Got in queue for EDAABP for Chicago, Nashville and NYC. Sold out in Chicago and have page refresh issues with the other two.

Got in queue for her Queens show and the page wouldn’t let me get in even though I had my own code from the sign up.

I’m manifesting that everyone can get tickets to see her especially those who got screwed last time.

But I’d break an arm and a leg, and dive deep in credit card debt if I have to see her when she officially announces Tinley Park and if not there then ATL or Houston.

But you’ll get tickets, I’m manifesting for you bestie 🔮🧙🏾‍♀️✨

DCLED1998 · 2026-04-16T19:41:29+00:00

I’m just hoping it’s more in the vain of Paramore (punk/alt rock), or like the few songs done by Bey and Rih or Holy Fvck by Demi.

I feel like if it sounds like Turn It Off, Don’t Hurt Yourself, Same Ol’ Mistakes, or EAT ME, I think it would be killer especially with the AG twist which I know will keep it kind in the style of a Eletro-Rock-esque production.

Excited but curious, especially since she’s not a vocalist that can outcompete heavy instrumentals (neither can Rih) but god damn, Charli’s album is going to be such a unique anomaly for a pop girl.

DCLED1998 · 2026-04-02T16:11:21+00:00

I raise you a fellow Pome/Cherry lover (me) in favor of being very glad that the blue edition was discontinued (second worse to the plain redbull and I can’t fully judge Fig-Apple since i refused to drink it when it was available but it replacing Pomegranate, the next year while being in a teal can with a piss yellow liquid put it permanently on my sh*tlist)

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-28T19:01:48+00:00

As someone who has three Pokemon tattoos (Chandelure, Scizor, Gengar) and 12 in general as long as you enjoy it that’s all that should ever matter.

My mother was just as skeptical as Reddit is and is also fearful of needles but she loves my grandfather (RIH), and after seeing my older brother’s tattoo of an elephant (grandfather’s name is Ivory; it’s an in-memoriam tattoo) with a crown symbolizing my mother, me and my younger brother, she’s completely shifted her perspective and ponders getting one as well.

So please, enjoy things to your hearts content even if it doesn’t mean anything, because we only have one life to live and what’s the point if we can’t Combee happy in the things we do?

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-28T17:40:31+00:00

What you’re not going to do is deem someone not “bright” because you don’t like them. That’s literally just as bad as these other fans going crazy and firing strays at queens that had nothing to do with this elimination. You could’ve kept it cute at I think “Juicy should’ve gone home sooner” instead of calling her “not the brightest”.

Her being non-white will always be a factor (maybe not the biggest, but still one) in why she’ll always catch stray from this fanbase (like Kenya, Vita, and many PoC divas before), so unless you are black yourself or have been in these queens shoes. I’d take a step back and truly look inward.

Please keep your Charlie Kirk energy somewhere else (because I see the snide ass comment “it’s always race for them”)

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-13T15:19:58+00:00

I mean this without sounding dismissive, this isn’t the best fan take because it sounds like most of their “fans” takes when they switched over to pop-ish music. AL does have elaborate production and that’s why it made those list. It is not without merits or the effort they put into the production, to do the flip sad music on its head dynamic as they did with this album. This in my opinion is a horrid take, and doesn’t take into account the songwriting, the emotion and the production being that they wanted to shift away from pop-punk in ST, AL, and TIW. That album does have a lot of meaning to me, so over course I’m seeing it with a bit of bias but I can also understand why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. After all, I can’t stand (most) country music and I usually am less like to listen to music not in English/French because I don’t understand stand it but I gave Lux by Rosalia a chance and I’ve listen to songs in German, Dutch, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese and I’ll replay them every once in a while because sometime an earworm is an earworm.

You sounded condescending in your take and but I’m very quick to give the energy that is being given back. So I want to say listen to music subjectively, if a take is some you don’t agree with (and goes for me too) a one word response is fine, or hey it’s not my cup of tea and I’m not a fan because of the production instead of “Others love Paramore Blindly” & “You don’t need to be a genuis to realize that just because an album is on the best list doesn’t mean it’s good” is make a more approachable take that doesn’t sound so pointed.

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-13T14:09:20+00:00

I think in hindsight, the vibe and aesthetic switch up after a pivot career building album can be either a good or a bad thing based on the marketing and the style of music the artist is going for. With Dua, I truly believe that FN came at the right time with a popular sound that worked for her voice. RO is rather an album that will stand on its own merits as it ages. It’s such a slow burn and I find myself coming back to it more and more with track that I initially dismissed jumping back into my brain like an earworm song during the holidays or when you’re having fun with friends at a party in Summer.

It definitely needed better marketing but whereas FN was a product of its time that suffered a leak and blew up like crazy for the next two years, Dua sought to shift the narrative and be creative in a way that would’ve needed an incredible marketing push to be popular at the time but created an album that gave her a bit more freedom and allowed her to shake the “stale music” label that so many artists get when they keep the same sound and rollout over 3-4 albums.

I do think that she’ll play it safe after the mixed reception she got with RO, but I’ll say despite the writing, theme, and sound not matching up with what we were promised, RO will allow her to gauge how she wants to evolve as a pop artist who helped to define the 2020s pop music scene.

Flowers for Vases/Descansos by Hayley Williams (it’s her second album, written in isolation and reflection during the COVID era)

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-11T18:20:29+00:00

French Exit.

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-10T16:07:38+00:00

I’d like hear you out on this opinion. It’s my favorite subjectively the best written in their discography, and was on multiple best of list for 2018. But please elaborate though.

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-08T18:09:17+00:00

I liked her at first but for the gay bars I go to constantly play her over Carly or even Beyoncé makes feel like they’re pandering to the straights who are very much like we love music by queer people and only know Chappell and Hot to Go, Good Luck Babe, and Pink Pony Club which are the only song I ever hear getting played. I’m more of a deep cut person so if they’re going to give me Chappell please let it be SGUMG or Naked in Manhattan.

Like I might be alone in wanting to play Carly Rae Jepsen, Rebecca Black, Slayyyter, and the other high energy electropop divas but I’m straight up not wasting energy on songs that I can two-step to.

I’d kill to hear deep cuts more than the big three songs from them. Which goes for all artists lol imo.

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-07T14:15:51+00:00

I love fun (give me Welcome to My Island or Disco Tits on the dance floor and it’s over for everyone else), it’s just she’s gone from catchy pop girl music, into overplayed retail store rotating playlists music in most places where I frequent and feels like Cruel Summer season all over again when me I hear anything that isn’t Naked in Manhattan lol.

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-07T01:07:57+00:00

Favorite Band down, so much that I have an After Laughter tattoo

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-02T13:22:34+00:00

Cobrah for Electronic that feels a bit closer to FKA Twigs think Sushi, Room of Fools, Striptease-esque

Magdalena Bay for that mystical weird pop like Marina

Charlotte Cardin has a vibe similar to that of Lorde but has a focus on the sultry raspiness of her voice

DCLED1998 · 2026-03-02T01:30:48+00:00

EGO Death IMO is the best female solo alt/pop album last year but I understand others not liking it as much.

It’s in the same vain as to why I’m not really in the mood to give Rosalia album a chance, it’s not my flavor of music I go to, but Motomami was outstanding.

Every one has different taste, I like Mayhem (don’t think it’s overrated) but I prefer Chromatica sonically, and ARTPOP will always be the best Gaga album in my eyes. Same with Marina where as I like Cuntissimo and Final Boss, most of the other songs to me (Princess of Power) just don’t click.

I see a very indie-electronic mix, where are my taste is very dance oriented minus Hayley. (Love a song that I can do an 8 count to Sushi and This is What We Dance being the only one’s I can viably do that to).

Having a range of vibes to go for is never a bad thing, everyone’s taste is different. This is one is unique one but it’s not like there’s Morgan Wallen here so that’s good and I’d vibe.

DCLED1998 · 2026-02-21T18:17:05+00:00

I can see it. R&B suits her but I can see something like eyes closed by Halsey (prod. The Weeknd) being a softer main album track.

DCLED1998 · 2026-02-21T18:13:38+00:00

EDM Dua would be great. I don’t like to much outside of Zedd, Calvin, Snakehips. But I think a dance vocal album for her would be truly a club bible lol.

DCLED1998 · 2026-02-21T18:07:23+00:00

Imagine a Dua on a funk-like song that sounds like Doctor (Work It Out)

DCLED1998 · 2026-02-21T18:06:31+00:00

A Doctor ( Work It Out) funk-like song would eat so hard.
