His first minuet was better. He sold out. Whatever, I'm over it.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

oh, you mean the guy that declined tons of money to commit treason against Queen Elizabeth (original) for the Pope even tho the Queen was talking shit about him? if being loyal to your Anglican Queen over money and your own Catholicism is "selling out", then yes, he did "sell out". or if by "selling out", you mean that he wrote real songs about depression rather than court-approved fancy-pants uppity shit the jesters were twerking to, then yeah, he "sold out" there too...get out of here with that bullshit.

Who...... Who's the first one? I don't recognize her lmao

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Apparently it's Beyoncé. I didn't recognise her either.

~~Taking a guess here but maybe Shakira?~~

It’s Beyoncé…

All these modern musicians would be nothing without Grug. He invented music himself when he started beating a log, but now no one remembers him

I'll have you know Og resents being ignored as the world's first screamo vocalist.

My man Sebastian Bach has written the most insane groundwork for Electronic dance genres but the only people to cover his work are boring and lack imagination.

Yet another reason lil b is the absolute greatest of all time. The based god has released over 3000 songs.

in 2006, Sting made an album of John Dowland songs called "Songs From The Labyrinth":

shout out to jerb datlab!

I mean… at one album every 3 years across the 25 years she’s been a popular artist she’s at 100 songs assuming a 12 track average (idk what the average is on her albums this is napkin math based on albums I have from other artists)

She’s only 42, there’s every possibility she could hit 200 songs before she passes on if she wanted to.

So…. Who is that in the top figure?

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Are you really pretending to not recognize Beyoncé?

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I really didn’t recognize her. I very much know who Beyoncé is, but seriously something about that picture looks off to me.

[–] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's that music video where she smashes everything, I think.. Isn't it about she forgiving her partner who cheated on her?

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That partner who happens to be the billionaire Jay-Z, the stacks of cash probably helped with the forgiveness. Not that Beyoncé is destitute without his income but a billion is a lot more than a million

[–] homesnatch@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Someone else in the thread suggested it was Shakira.. I assumed they were right.. I don't recognize Beyonce from that picture, but I'll cede to anyone with more familiarity.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think they're pretending. I also didn't immediately recognise them.

To be fair, it's a poor quality image, she's so well lit that she looks more tan than black and not everyone had an interest in pop music.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

TBF, it’s Beyoncé, she is black but she is pretty light on the skin color spectrum.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)
[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

And the lighting in that dark set makes her look darker, scrolling down in your own link shows the variation on photo sets lol in the sunlight she’s pretty light as far as black skin tones go, she’s certainly no Lupita Nyong’o
