LA BOLA NEGRA is a gay, opulent, transcendent and grandiose monumental work. It’s horny, heartbreaking and I can only say it’s like EVITA meets THE HOURS in the most complimentary of ways. Guitarricadelafuente is star. #Cannes

Record labels never want to spend money on music videos because they cut down on immediate profits, but it's short term thinking. In the long run, an iconic music video provides cultural framework for an artist's longevity. Capturing them in their prime gives future audiences a way to experience the song through the performer at their best. Yes you can hear the songs whenever you want, but watching Michael zombie dance to Thriller or Britney naked with diamonds to Toxic are experiences that make those songs come alive decades after they dominated airplay. The artist has time traveled to future generations (this is why quality matters). There aren't many record companies that are patient for that kind of pay off, because there aren't many record execs who have that long of a shelf life anymore. Everyone has to answer to the next quarter but the artist and their music has to answer to forever.

As someone who cites VENENO as one of the best TV shows of the last decade, I’m not at all shocked about the rave reviews pouring in for LA BOLA NEGRA. That being said, I’m still tickled about the possibility of former Drag Race judges winning the Palme d’Or. Long Live Los Javis!

@yosoymichael Unironically the most exciting song she could have possibly made in this moment in time. A side step AND an elevation?? 🚬😮‍💨

People talk about teenage dream by Katy Perry as some type of pop bible when for me it has always been the beginning of the continued decline in quality from her perfect magnum opus one of the boys

I’d venture to say my opinions on pop music are, in fact, the very best and most accurate around because I am genuinely obsessed with every artist who does it well 😌💅🏼

Like I spent weeks as a ten year old working a psyop grift on my mom to get her to buy The Velvet Rope cd at Walmart after church. You cannot yell at me about Janet when I praise Madonna as if I wasn’t ravenously scamming my way into getting ALL of their music as a child.

@FKAJFantastico It doesn’t mean Michael didn’t shake the foundations of the entire planet or that David Bowie and Donna Summer weren’t legendary trailblazers, I’m simply saying that the career of “popstar” as we now know it, the blueprint of what that entails, is a result of Madonna’s impact

@FKAJFantastico Donna Summer vinyls comprised most of my dad’s record collection. I’ve voraciously consumed pop music since birth and genuinely worship all of the greats and the lanes they’ve paved. I openly credit them for inspiring me to become an artist myself.

Simon, as a singer yourself, you know damn well how absolutely fucked it is to make this claim. Not only does Michael trump Madonna in all of the things you mentioned, but there are multiple Black artists before her that paved the road she emulated. You're better than this.
Simon Curtis@simoncurtis

The reason artists have “eras” at all is because of Madonna. The pop concert as we know it- with acts, costume changes, set pieces, all based around a unified concept/story, is because of Madonna. Michael is a legend with everlasting impact. Madonna invented the modern popstar.

You know how in Suspiria (2018, Luca Guadagnino) Dakota Johnson used dancing and body movement to channel magic? That’s what Britney was doing here.
