No wonder it seems like Rhianna never goes away (Chunkey, where are you?)!! Mobile studios? Interesting approach! I almost feel sorry for her. There was an article about her song writing process several months ago that talked of her song writing process. It was literally an assembly line. They would bring 20 writers together and keep pairing them switching rooms with Rhianna going from one to another saying what she liked. It was the definition of manufactured pop. I feel sorry for her too. Does she ever get to have a life?

Hey beautiful people coming to next week's party - please check your private emails for important information.
So so blessed to have this place to find comfort and solace. Had a really tough week so being in the company of fellow Atopians who care is so wonderful.
And thanks to those who provide such humor (I am looking at you Chunkey, would love to meet you someday) - laughter is the best medicine.
I love you all . . . .

Happycat I remember you for Idol forums. "happy cat" is the pet name my husband gave me. Anyway.... Queen is a bit before my time too, but since the finale I've discovered my Queen love. iTunes has a couple of greatest hits albums. Those are a great start. I ended up buying greatest hits album #2 then adding a few one offs like, Under Pressure and bohemian rhapsody from other albums. Koshka, hi right back at ya! And thanks for the recs, you and molly and whatyasay and mys*&@^#r. I think maybe I'll get the Platinum Collection since I have zero songs and I won't be doubling up on anything. 51 songs for $19.99 with some remixes and live stuff included. Pretty good bargain. Thanks, my friends. Welcome, puteri! Watching the EMAs has dropped me into a pile of nostalgia, and even though I haven't dropped by here in a while, now I'm looking at Adam's old idol vids. Great to revisit. Yeah, he really needs to get his music out there again. Whataya want from me was a great pop song, he needs six more like that, at least just for radio...but don't shoot me, his voice sounds amazing on that, the way it builds. I went down that Rabbit Hole last night. LOL I had two whole hours to myself and a long ToDo list, my husband is leaving on a business trip in the morning. I watched the AI Queen Finale (I knew better) and ended up watching every video on the playlist. It is the most complete AI playlist I have seen. I believe they have every second that Adam was on TV . Caution Addictive: www.youtube.com/user/LatinglambertsArg

Great article Linda! This especially jumped out at me:
Rihanna may have more #1 records, but it's more about quantity then quality. Beyonce isn't as prolific but she has sold more and will probably be around longer. And while I'm not sure how much Beyonce writes herself, I know she did write a lot for Destiny's Child so it's safe to assume she writes for her solo records, even if it's just co writes.
It seems Rihanna doesn't write on her records at all. Does she, does anyone know?

Linda--She has to be unobtrusive and pliant because she is everywhere on everyone's songs as well as her own. If she was more in your face people would be like GOOO AWAAAAAAY. Lol. I had never thought about her that way before I read that article, but you are right. I caught myself the other day hearing a song (it is probably relevant that I don't remember which one. Lol.) and trying to decide if it was her. I just couldn't tell and the DJ didn't give it away. So there you go.
