[@SiaoningJhang]

Is it me, or Joe really sounds louder than Jon? If it's the latter, can Jon please kindly speak up or adjust his mic so we an hear him better? Thank you guys!

How absolutely disgusting that anyone would buy Travis Scott music after what he did.

[@Sigmundfrued]

He didn’t do anything

[@jakestroll6518]

Maybe logic prevailed and people remembered there’s layers of accountability long before it gets to Travis.

We have now lost two purveyors of sean-nós singing, Dolores O'Riordan and Sinead O'Connor. But travel anywhere on the Wild Atlantic Way and you can find someone holding that torch high and bright. If you're lucky they'll be singing in the old language......

Weird how every celebrity before this is pretty much universally condemned by you people but now somehow when its Lizzo we're all concerned about how well she'll weather this backlash?

[@odemaj8605]

Cause she's still coming up,she has less facts on our minds that are yet to be confirmed as her identity or personality in details

[@leopie_777]

bs they asked the same question about morgan wallen, how he would get through the n word controversy. and it seems wallen is doing just fine
