DB isn't that bad. It's the chorus that is awful. Plus Nicki's part is stupid af because she calls herself a Barbie yet Avril says she's not a stupid Barbie doll. The only part in the chorus that is good is "bombshells raising hell" and the verses of the song.
Whatever "Everyone's got an opinion but I don't care"

I disagree about Goddess. The only line that’s cringey about it is the “pajamas/baNAHnahs” thing. Otherwise I think it’s a decent track, not the best, but not deserving of being named the 7th worst song of the year. I would say DB is worse, that chorus is fucking awful and childish sounding like some high school cheerleader singing it.

I agree, DB's chorus is an instant turn off.

The pyjamas/bananas line is indeed the only cringey one although I get the intention behind it. It's supposed to sound a bit silly because she's all giddy with being in love, I guess. It really is the only bad line, everything else is fine.
I don't know why people go on about how she pronounces banana though. As an English person it sounds the same as how we pronounce it here so I never thought anything of it. I assume Canadians say it the same way we do and that Americans are in fact aware that other accents exist

Guys don't make me pull out the bananas in pajamas picture again... I totally get that. I mean it is wierd, definitely. But whenever I listen to that one I mentally shut the translation down so it doesn't really affect me and I can enjoy it better that way. Maybe these little things are the perks of not being an English primary speaker. Does anyone feel like that as well?

I'm not surprised.
But I am surprised she even remembered her at all.

I’m pretty sure Canadians don’t pronounce it that way though, if she were British that would be totally valid. But she especially lost her Canadian accent years ago anyway so even if that was how Canadians pronounced it, I think that would be null and void at this point anyway. She’s only saying it that way to make them rhyme.

Disappointing to see Head Above Water was the ‘5th worst album of 2019’ according to Metacritic :’( at least she’s in company with Kanye and Ed Sheeran, I guess? They also made the list. I truly feel it’s my fav of the year, a shame critics never seem to appreciate Av. Anyway, you can vote for your fav on Metacritic’s website, so we should prove them wrong and vote for HAW!

I don’t really care about metacritic anymore. They can say and think what they want, an album that I enjoy is a good album in my world.
But I agree that it‘s kind of unfair. It‘s not the best but for sure not the worst.
