Whether it was our live Christina Aguilera debate on Twitter, Chris Brown‘s tacky Taliban Halloween costume, Imagine DragonsLate Night performance in an empty studio, post-Hurricane Sandy, or word that Lady Gaga is once again working with pop producer RedOne, our reader’s had plenty to say about it all. Head below for our weekly roundup of your comments about the past seven days’ music news!

:: Iche felt ick after reading Lady Gaga Working To “Make History” With RedOne On ARTPOP: “She’s history, alright.”

:: Kaye got political on Chris Brown Dressed Up As A Terrorist For Halloween & Offended Everyone: “An illiterate, insensitive, disrespectful and ill-informed American dresses up as a Muslim terrorist. Any wonder why majority of the Muslim world have a vendetta against Western societies?”

:: Jack was jacked for Christina Aguilera’s Lotus: Hear The Album Snippets: “There some surprisingly progressive sounds on the album, also a couple of really basic sounding EDM influenced pop tracks, also one track where Christina channels Rihanna a little too much, and also it sounds like there’s a few good old fashioned Christina ballads on here: I’m excited.”

:: Tara was also pumped up: “Sounds amazing! Already in ritual mode and dissecting every single clip! I think the stand out tracks will be: Intro, Army of Me, Make The World Move, Let There Be Love, Blank Page, Best of Me, Just a Fool, Light Up The Sky, Empty Words and Shut Up. The rest sound cool though and I’m sooo excited!”

:: Pipe Robles brought one side to the Christina Aguilera Debate: See The Results Of Idolator’s #XtinaDebate: “Ok she can sing! we get it. But really, so does the third part of the world.. she needs to be confident because is she wasn’t the industry would eat her up? honey, the industry already did. The problem with her is that she hasn’t evolve at all, she still thinks its still 2002. Her voice hasn’t improved in any way and sometimes you can’t even understand what she’s saying because she is always screaming and exaggerating every note. I really hope she does something better for her new album.”

:: And Nicke Dunne brought the other: “Pipe, obviously you haven’t listened to anything of hers outside the singles. She used bionic to display a whole new side of her vocals. In fact, Linda Perry, whom she’s worked with for a very long time, told her to quit oversinging. She got her moments to belt on Bionic, but she also learned a little more control. Listen to ‘I Am’ when she enunciates more than usual. In “Birds of Prey” on the Deluxe Edition she utilizes the deeper baritone parts of her range.”

:: Henry gave props on Imagine Dragons Perform “It’s Time” In Empty Late Night Studio: “They were great, plus they were class acts for preforming to an empty house. Saw them in Mnpls. They were the best live band I’ve ever seen.”

:: Dooby shooby-dooed on One Direction’s “Little Things”: Review Revue: “I think this article was written by a 40 or 50 yr old who has forgotten what its like to be insecure about the way you look! Its good to hear that the little things that seem to make you unattractive are the very things that are perfect to the one your with.”
