This site is deader than the Dodos unless a song leaks out of Bonnies vag

OMG :cackle: 

It's sad though, I don't blame the drought on the lack of leaks these past few days, Bonnie's vag should be giving birth instead of the forced menstrual cycles.

I think EBY was a strong candidate for a second single before she wrote S.L.A.Y.

It's not like it matters now though. At the stage we're at we'd be lucky to get Love Spell (reworked) and then a 10 year hiatus 💀 

Still surprised she actually released Sleepwalker and Stars in Your Heart, that's how LOW my expectations have gotten yeah.

I need a standalone single series with these sessions. We have American Girl, but please, where the hell are Everything But You, S.L.A.Y., Rewind Your Heart, Electric Heaven, etc.? :tanya: 

Oh, I forgot. They're buried in the dark forever. Damn, Bonnie, we need the songs released so WE CAN GIVE YOU THE DAMN COIN YOU DESERVE :yeah:

What we really need from Bonnie is clarity, the vague statements it’s coming I promise this I promise that don’t help and her fans make 10 different theories for 1 issue. She just has to explain why it’s taken so long so far and what she has to do from now to release the material. If we actually knew what it takes for someone in her position to actually roll out an era her last 10 fans would be way more sympathetic and understanding. My best guess is it’s really costly (under a label let alone indie) to make music videos designers photo shoots not only clear release rights and royalty advancements but remaster aside from the buying back everything from her label. Bombastic EP should’ve been hint enough for us to understand how truly extra and all out Bonnie goes with all her projects, probably further than any artist with label support and financing, aside from the particularly big names she has to clear for this project. Didn’t she basically make a viable music video for a Tik tok short.

We really do need clarity on the sitch, my fave rock/pop/country/now indie flop star, Michelle Branch had 3 albums shelved by her label and she updated her fans on her own website of what was happening and even gave away several songs from the albums as gifts to her fans. That was like back in 2012....these days there are SO many platforms aside from YouBoob and ClitCok, patreon, bandcamp even start a crowd fund if the funds aren´t there. 

She has connections and contacts coming out of her asshole so imagine how EPIC (pun intended) it would be if she called on Katy Perry and some other pop gurls to appear in the S.L.A.Y. video? That would surely get her the exposure for it to be a hit and could even spark a bidding war between labels if she ever wanted to sign to one again.

If she continues to sit back and let dust gather, she will be begging Kim Petras to make a cameo in a reworked song called L.A.M.E.

I'd love to know what was in the water/air when this biatch wrote American Girl, EBY, Hot City, Forever 21, RYH, S.L.A.Y., Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt, IWFCY, Hit Me Up, Waking Up Diagonal.... the list never stops. It's a hit after hit; you'd think she'd run out of steam after giving so much of herself to Katy and other artists, but nope... had this album been released in 2014 it wouldn't have got the recognition it deserves, but it would've been looked back on years later as one of the best pop albums of its era.

And the reason I'm posting this is because of the dark times period of 2017-2019. What the hell were you doing Bonnie gurl? The songs weren't bad, but they were bland and lackluster. I'm actually quite relieved the 2017 album was shelved because that entire "dark" direction was a no from me. If she wanted to do something dark, then she should've taken the Rihanna Rated R/Natalia Kills/Gaga Fame Monster route, not the Selena Gomez/Lourde one. "Ferocious" (the LVCRFT collab) is a good example of a dark direction that works well for her. Thorns aka Revival reject does not (imo).

Mad Mad World was too calculated, generic, and lacked character. The chorus is lowkey hard to get through. Literally how can the writer of Forever 21 and Hot City not hear that? Those aforementioned songs are also very made-for-the-charts feel good popcorn bubblegum pop music, but generiqué they are not. And they ooze attitude and personality. The imagery is memorable and iconic.

I feel as though Bonnie was going through something and lost her way a little. Even if she claimed the 2017-2019 songs were personal and she was digging deep and whatnot I didn't feel any passion, zeal, or soul. 

EDIT: I also think Bonnie, curiously enough, doesn't know the sweet spots of her tone, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of her voice. Just as models have to master their angles, a singer has to know what works for their voice and what doesn't. Bonnie has a strong tendency to sound pitchy and screechy, yet she's constantly writing choruses/pre-choruses that highlight that in a less than flattering light (Mad Mad World, Bad Flops Go to Heaven, Hey Alligator, Riding ShotgunThorns). It *can* and does work sometimes like on Bombastic where the grating oh-oh-ohs almost double as an instrument, or the chorus of I Want It All which works because it adds to the rock feel/influence, What I find interesting is that on a song like Rewind Your Heart, she's also pushing the limits of her range, yet her voice sounds commanding, powerful, and almost Katy Perry Firework-esque. 

Alright and just so I'm not constantly dragging ha, this performance was a slay:

Just now, low kii savage said:

What do we think about Stud Slay Muffin tho? Because personally I believe it was her best release after dropping Bombastic EP and it's not even an official song :cackle: The bridge of it gives me strong Epic Bonnie vibes

it´s a bop IMO!

It's ok lol :awkwardney: 

Not really a standout song, and not annoying to listen to, it's sorta in the middle for me.
