Red
Sonically turbulent, emotionally searing, her usual feisty breakdowns matched by the scarce expressions of tender happiness. Flawed it might be, but a great album it is. A

1989
It was never a question that she would end up a banker like her father, so cherish the fact that as she marches into neon lights in her limo, her ever-observing eyes still have time for the “boys and boys and girls and girls” who were “someone else before.” A-

Lover
Relaxed, bedazzled, and calmly telling you why she has every right to say she knows more about men than you do. Maybe she really did run out of things to prove after all. A-

Fearless
Where teen pop found out it doesn’t have to be intolerant towards a basic level of sophistication and singer-songwriters found out not every emotion has to be coated in distorted filters. She may have painted herself as a next-door role model, but the true eighteen-year-old underneath was ten times as self-possessed and a hundred times as talented. A-

Speak Now
The one where she had the most self-control on paper is also the one that’s sonically least distinguished. Half of the songs are overlong and overworked, but I listen to them anyway. B+

reputation
“It isn’t that she completely sounds like a pop star, it’s that she completely identifies as one.” B

self-titled
There is a formidable identity emerging, but her writing has yet to be polished. The underworked vocals didn’t help either. B-

I wonder whether it’s a curse or a blessing that many foreign films would never be assessed in their truest form by western audiences. It’s a shame that great screenplays inevitably lose their beauty in translation, but I’ll be damned if a masterpiece like The Assassin gets torn to shreds by certain critics just because the actors’ accents aren’t historically/geographically accurate.

snatch game on the main series continues to disappoint, every year we think maybe this new batch of girls would do better and every year they keep on being underwhelming, mayyyyybe it’s time to retire it until there’s a decent cast of comedy girls? or you know, make it a uk only thing.

gigi’s win is a surprise but the surprise is more on how funny she genuinely was. of course the “fashion” girl who’s excelled in almost all the performance challenges ends up taking the flagship challenge of the show, have fun at your virtual crown fitting.

there were probably a lot more that went into justifying sherry’s placement, seeing as the editing has affected the pacing of this episode even more so than others, but it was nowhere near a good hepburn impression, she basically just did the psychic thing phi phi did on all stars with a twist.

jaida continues to own the runway, jan and crystal came through this week with really fascinating looks, the former’s should’ve pushed her to the top, the latter’s certainly saved her from the bottom. gigi continues to be beautiful in that one silhouette, are we getting bianca’s same dress part 2 the remix? brita had a great garment but the fur ruined it, aiden continues to expose her budget and I have no idea what widow was doing

don’t know what to make of the gigi-heidi feud that may be rising up now that troubled child aiden is gone, producers must know that pitting a frontrunner against an underdog isn’t gonna work when said frontrunner is skinny and white, so we shall see if this hurts gigi’s reception at all, she’s well primed to win at this point

Katharine Hepburn should’ve won for Little Women instead of Morning Glory

I think rko pushed morning glory to boost the less successful film, and her win was ultimately for little women

I guess it’s also worth writing here that I think all three little women performances that were nominated + hepburn should’ve won their category, the power of louisa may alcott

For this reason, film awards are predictable and precursors overlap a ton, whereas Grammys is just wildly unpredictable because no one will know how the committee will view the songs. I wonder if it’s because craft in movies is just much harder (or more important?) than craft in music.

there are about ten whole essays to be written about that, but to keep it short, there isn’t a real definition of what’s “prestige” in music, outside of the rotten notion that non-pop/non-mainstream music is automatically better
