Sugababes - When the Rain Comes + LP9
Aaw, that's a shame. I wonder if the singles released so far did not do well enough to convince the record label for an album. Shook should've been a hit, if it wasn't!

Sugababes - When the Rain Comes + LP9
Shook is just so fantastic. I would love to see what LP they come up next.

Recommend Me A Primetime Soap Please!
Right. KNOTS is definitely the superior show in a lot of aspects, but DALLAS is a great introduction to the primetime soap world. LOL! DYNASTY's Seasons 4 and 5 (and to a lesser extent, Season 3) have very little narrative logic and become worse and worse. BUT the star power of the show had viewers mesmerized.

Recommend Me A Primetime Soap Please!
I have to disagree with everyone LOL The best introduction to the primetime soaps is DALLAS. There's a reason why it was popular and a ratings hit from the very beginning. It is entertaining, it has its tone and style set from the very beginning, and remains very consistent for 10 seasons/years - except it becomes better and better and matures into a truly compelling saga. While KL ultimately had a better whole-show run and a level of intelligence and complexity unmatched by the others (except occasionally), it also takes its time to grow into the excellent soap it became. I do not think it's a good starting point for a new viewer. DYNASTY also began with an excellent but very different and slow first season. Your mileage may vary. FALCON CREST is FALCON CREST. You cannot take it seriously. lol

What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
Just did a rewatch of SIX FEET UNDER Season 1. Still great, if not even greater than the first time. Even at 20, I may have been a little young still to fully appreciate it. I also think it's fascinating how depressing I used to think it is but the comical elements really popped this time around.

The Madonna Thread
Love it! Fun, fresh, and, yes, young. They work nicely together. I wonder if it'll chart?? Madonna is delivering with this! And Stuart Price has been doing some FABULOUS work with Jessie Ware on her last 2-3 albums, so I'm hearing a touch of that in this too. Come on, CONFESSIONS!!

What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
I can't wait! But, as hard as it's going to be, I'm going to wait until September so I can binge watch it all. I had to use someone else's account lol Surely you have a free trial you can take advantage of? If not on Apple TV itself, subscribe for a week through Prime? Those 20 episodes can definitely be devoured within a week! That's so interesting about the books. I definitely want to check them out eventually.

Just binged Seasons 1 and 2 of the incredible, nail-biting SILO. If you haven't seen it, it's a must!

Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
I do think his buzz cut is perhaps too severe a look on him. I saw a couple pics with longer hair and it made quite the difference lol Anyway, I'm mostly saddened because his manipulative, scheming antics motivated by his abandonment and anger is fairly juicy material to play but he's not delivering on that context at all.

Thanks, Maxim. Love that for her! Still listening to I Feel So Free on repeat.

Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
You may be right, I'm just unspoiled lol I just need Megan to be one of them, and it motivates me to catch up faster. Glad to hear that about Carl cos he's spent all of January and February being turned into a maggot. He is very easy on the eyes though! Oh that's quite interesting. I'm OK with the story - it's not brilliantly written and Cartwright's acting depends mostly on his looks, but it's alright. I just wish it didn't feel so start and stop and that they built each beat more extensively.

Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
I'm still catching up but I truly wish Megan is the one who dies. Vile, disgusting, rapist bitch. It'll probably end up being Theo so Todd can suffer more when he gets arrested, and we'll have to suffer through MORE Megan, Carl, and Maggie.

The Madonna Thread
Sabrina is one of the biggest popstars in the world right now. As long as the song is good and they mesh well together, I'm all for it. I remember being so excited about Madonna and Britney together on a song but it wasn't the hit it ought to be (even though I personally love it). Can't be any worse than bringing JT on lol A good remix EP of CONFESSIONS II would be a must!

The Madonna Thread
I simply cannot wait for the lead single from the album. If the album "intro" is so addictive, we just may be in for one of her best projects ever. DANCE bitches!

The Madonna Thread
Madonna said DANCE! And she's delivering!!

The Madonna Thread
I cannot wait for Sabrina/Madonna on the album!!! Yes Queen keep delivering! Darling, you simply must give REBEL HEART another chance. MDNA aged fast and horribly and MADAME X is... what it is, but REBEL HEART? Bops!

CONFESSIONS ON A DANCEFLOOR meets EROTICA meets House music. A slow burn, seductive buildup. Get into it!! And, BIG YES to Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter together on the album <3

Beverly Hills, 90210 Discussion Thread
The snoozefest that is mid-Season 8 nearly put me in a coma - thankfully, Valerie's rape trial and Donna's hilarious drug fiend phase saved it. I quite liked how Valerie's past deeds were used against her here - it felt very realistic, sad, and character driven. Meanwhile, maybe Tori did some of her best work ever playing bitchy, strung out, and a mess. Yes, she became a drug-seeking ho in five seconds flat but what a fun change of pace for the saintly Donna.

I have a good feeling about this one!

YAS Queen! Beautiful cover and it's coming so much sooner than I could ever hope!

The Madonna Thread
That four-song run on BEDTIME STORY (including Take a Bow) is easily one of the best sequences of songs in any of her albums. Oh, I love this one! I am so so so excited. I hope she delivers on two fronts - great dance pop music AND with a few good surprises thrown in there. I am READY.

B&B: Launches BBTV app with entire library
OK, the website got me to continue with Season 1 B&B. lol Things get much juicier quite quickly. Thankfully, Judith Baldwin is gone. Stephanie is just SO strikingly complex, cruel, and often scary. Flannery is acting the hell out of every scene, it's scary. Sadly, so much of the early episodes casting really hinders the show.

Not y'all about to get me to watch current B&B again!!!!! Also, can someone give me date/episode number when Sheila and Deacon got married?

Falcon Crest
Season 6 may not have been brilliant television, but at least it had a renewed sense of energy and focus. Having a main storyline of sorts with Kit Marlowe also helped. Somewhat. It lost that focus towards the end of the season though. Season 7 on the other hand was batshi!t crazy and insufferable. One million different characters with "hot" guest stars. Storylines that lasted 2 to 3 episodes. EXTREME randomness that made MELROSE PLACE look like longterm planning. 3 episode alcoholism storyline? I honestly prefer the boring Season 8 and the wonderful yet sadly unfamiliar Season 9.
