Oh! Thanks! No wonder I was confused then cos all of the comparisons I've come across are to the album.

:wub: what dream-like excellence

You guys are inspiring me to look further into K-Pop (again) OMG I love these! Such a great idea to do the whole let's talk talk talk talk about you me love thing. If only US pop artists were this creative in promoting.

I don't think it's ever been about her music for the people who don't like her. I think they dislike her based on her crazy shenanigans (which I guess is fair enough) and the music, whether good or bad, will always be considered horrible by them. It's really the opposite of the little monsters, who will love everything she does, no matter what. I agree, I would like to see the more down to earth side more. I don't understand. What do you mean it's not like The Fame because that album grabbed you right from the opening notes and the lyrics were just crazy good? If the music/lyrics aren't as good it doesn't mean it's not stylistically close to it. There is no denying the fact that Applause is closer to The Fame style than Born This Way.

Oh wow, that's crazy.

It's possible because I don't exactly hate her right now. But some of her behavior annoys me and I can see why the others dislike her. But I definitely hate that name

My God, I'm so slow with MIAMI season 2, although it is excellent! I feel I'm watching a well-scripted primetime soap. I nearly DIED when Alexia said that Karent should drop the "t" and they made fun of it--which is what I've been thinking ALL this time. Adriana is entertaining me so much now, while Karent needs a good slap. All the rest, I love.

Honestly, I feel you would hate anything she does, regardless. Fair enough, it's all based on taste but I have no idea what you're saying when you say it sounds like a reject from her previous album. All I hear is The Fame. It's the first thing I thought--she's going back to her first album roots. Anyways, this is no pop masterpiece but will be great to dance to at the club, which is all Gaga should hope for anymore, considering she can't come up with a Poker Face or Bad Romance (that we know of).

I think you're right. I'm only up to episode 2 but it's good enough that I could conceivably finish it in a week. It really does feel so much like a soap opera.

They don't? That's sad!

Just started MIAMI Season 2! What a huge difference! That starting montage about Miami was so dramatic and great lol Liked all the Housewives and I thought the whole episode looked so sleek (the camera travelling from one location to another was a particularly nice touch, especially if you're not familiar with the city). Gonna try to catch up asap before the new season, although I doubt it lol

That bitch! Hoda would be CRAZY to leave the TODAY show.

Ooooh! Great stuff from Ana Alicia!

Larsa? Eeeeeeew! But I do love me some Elsa--a lot! Will be diving into Season 2 soon! Thank the Lord! They sure did bring the drama. The difference for me was that their drama and brand of craziness did not entertain me. Ramona over at NYC is such a crazy ho but she entertains me to no end!

Thanks for the links, Y&RWorldTurner! Great stuff!

Based on Season 1, I was surprised it was renewed as well. But everyone here says Season 2 was great, so I can't wait to get to that. Crusty and Larva (LOOOOL) are just like that in real life as well? Ugh.

Artwork for Applause. I like it Honestly, it feels she's toned down the weirdness (which I hope is the case) although we'll see once we get closer to the release dates That's what I'm hoping for with this album as well. Not necessarily like her first album, but something fun and catchy.

Boogerwolves! Are they still on in Season 2? I'll have to see if I can handle that. Can't stand Cristy's smug grin and, as for Larsa, if your life, kids and husband are so perfect, then why the f.ck are you on this show? What drama do you bring to the table? I don't need a Housewife there solely to start arguments with others based on the premise that she is eternally perfect. Bitch, gtfo. And what was that about Larsa having money troubles? She denied but I didn't believe her. And that reunion was particularly vile. Not because I haven't seen Housewives arguing in the reunions before but because they all seemed to genuinely hate each other and threw some vitriol, yet the show had none of that.

I couldn't help myself and watch Miami Season 1 since it was so short. So uninspired. I liked the whole cooking lessons thing but the biggest drama came from Cristy (hate her!) not paying for a gala? Wow. Adriana is just ridiculous. Showing up late to her own opening, featuring an artist during another artist's gala? Practically begging that man to marry her? I can't decide whether she entertains me or not. Larsa... Wow. Marisol was nice. And I LOVE Elsa. How can you not? Let's see how it goes with season 2. One of the housewives mentioned the season was cut short during that mess of a reunion. Anybody know what happened? Agreed. It picked up in a way I didn't think it would. I hope they can keep riding that wave.

That's a shame about NJ and ATL after their third seasons. Just like what happened with NYC. I hesitate to start them because there are soooo many seasons. OK, it seems MIAMI season 2 is the place to start, since we're close to season 3. I hope I can find it. Although I kinda hate jumping seasons. Thanks Eric, Daytime and Cheap!

None lol The only one I've seen is NYC and I think an episode of Beverly Hills or whatever that was! So I'm just figuring it out which city to pick up next. I guess Atlanta?

All caught up with NYC! Season 5 saw a return to the more entertaining days of the show, versus the painful Season 4. I'm thinking of picking up another Housewives show... Which one would you suggest? OC or Atlanta?
