YOOOO I saw you open for Tinashe in DC and I just have to say I was absolutely blown away. Your presence was electric and you made an IMMEDIATE fan of me! Truly the Jersey Club Queen 🫶🏾 I had no idea you were sampled on Booty Drop, thanks for clearing that up!!
@@naomi.cannibal ayeee thank you! The DC shows were lit & I love Nashe, happy she brought me on tour. Its been dope and different, cant wait to perform my songs out more 🙏🏾💕
Honestly I thought the reason autographs werent being done was because of the amount of fraud autographs (people who get autographs and either copy them and sell them in bulk or sell the exact item for a raised price
The thing about Jungkook is that he was inspired primarily by western male R&B-Popstars. Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Omarion and Justin Timberlake are who he grew up on and who he was influenced by so I don’t understand that criticism when that’s pretty much the foundations of what and why he does what he does.
Absolutely. Also there’s so many people complaining that male singers aren’t giving performance and vocals or simply aren’t trying to entertain and here’s Jungkook showing he’s influenced by the greats. The comparisons were always going to happen like they do with Tate and Britney for example, so he just leaned into them. This is just first solo album. Also, Asian artists are always going to face big barriers unless they sound accessible, hopefully he changes it up now that he has more name ID.
This arguement should apply to jesy nelson too then, she grew up listening to hip hop/reggae music and when she made boyz, she got so much hate even tho she didnt do anything wrong
@@aryxn0 the difference is her song is portraying black culture as if it’s a costume from referring to black men as “bad boyz”, trying to look racially ambiguous as a yt woman, and then supporting colorist statements towards her other group member leigh-anne so no this argument does NOT apply to her.
I kinda have to disagree with the person saying Billie will be limited with her brother as her sole career producer. I think a great example is Shania Twain. All of her prime discography for a solid decade is diverse and some of the highest selling country, all produced by her and her ex-husband. Also Janet who pretty exclusively worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and has one of the most diverse catalogues in Pop and R&B. Both of those ladies first two albums had very similar sounds then they went crazy after that. So Billie still needs more time
i loved the concept for olivia rodrigo’s virtual m&g where she was on a live stream and answered q’s etc. it was still personalized for fans but safe for her !
As someone who currently works at a classical music radio station, we make a huuuuuuge effort to give listeners very few ads lmao. We might do one ad per song break (3 ads per hour on average,,,, yes we are not very lucrative lol) and we load cds of performances into our program ourselves from our physical library of 10K+ cds. My boss also encourages us to read up the history of each selection and "sell" the piece, the composer, or the performers to our listeners, and the community seems to love it! I wish more mainstream radio stations also did this but half the time they do Not seem to gaf ab what they play, it's very interesting lmao.
And finneas is the reason she even has a career. He made ‘Ocean Eyes’, writes a lot of the songs like ‘when the party’s over’ and produces. He doesn’t get enough credit.
As a huge carly fan, I think the reason why she remains in a limited fan base is because she does not "reinvent" herself often. I think thats part of her appeal is because she grows slowly but surely as her artistry grows, and I love that! She stays out of drama and is just happy doing her gig
about Jungkook, while I enjoyed his album, I do agree that out of all bts members his album seemed the least personal, but like you said, I think this issue will go away eventually and he'll find his own unique color. I think it could be due to the fact he debuted as a soloist kinda late imo and spent all his teenage years as a band member. He also said he didn't feel like releasing any personal music at the moment, but perhaps after military enlistment and more experience, he'll open up to it. I look forward to his future projects. edit: I forgot to add, but about "jungkook hasn't contributed to the industry" part, I feel like it's too early to even talk about it. He only just debuted as a solo artist, he has 1 album. Idk what kind of contribution the commenter was expecting. Right now, it would probably just be more exposure to kpop.
But also to say he hasn’t contributed to the industry when he is a Gen Z icon and member of BTS is wild. BTS is legendary on their own. It’s his solo work that is in flux.
@@Lonadurn Yup, I agree!! Jungkook has brought so many people into kpop, some of my friends who have been insisting for years that kpop was bad warmed up to him and now are fans! To say he hasn't contributed anything is just not true. However, I think the commenter was talking in terms of artistry, which I thought it was an unfair thing to do since his solo career just started.
I clicked mainly because it had Billie in the thumbnail. When I first heard bad guy, I didn’t really get it, I bought into the “why is she whispering” (I never liked the Billie soundalikes labels try to push) but I’ve grown to really respect her artistry and her uniqueness
@@naomi.cannibalshe was EVERYWHERE at that time! Could not avoid her! I really liked it once I fully delved into it. I like to listen to full albums front to back
With Jungkook's debut, I wasn't surprised that his songs were very Western-leaning when it came to the genres he chose (based on the producers and the announcement that all songs would be in English). He's known to have been creating a mixtape around 2022 (I think, maybe even earlier) but he apparently deleted the songs bc he wasn't satisfied with them and wanted to start fresh. For an interview, he said that he didn't have anything to say in particular so he didn't want to release any solo music (in 2023) but he was approached by Bang Si Hyuk PD and Scooter Braun, who sort of warmed him up to the idea of releasing a solo EP debut. He agreed and picked out the songs and everything but it's clearly not his work in the sense that his essence isn't in the EP, even though he definitely performed his best. That being said, it's healthy for him to realize that he didn't have anything to say and took a step back and let pop professionals write for him bc realistically whatever he releases will make him and HYBE money no matter what it is. I'm excited for his next solo work though, bc I'd guess that he'd have a more hands on approach.
Some people are acting as if Golden will be Jungkook's only solo release. He's got his whole life to grow as a person and as an artist. If he wasn't ready to write an album or simply didn't want to write an album that's his choice to make. I remember during a livestream a fan asked if he was going to make music in Korean again and he said something like of course I'm Korean aren't I. Are the songs on his album groundbreaking? No, but I still thoroughly enjoyed his album. I think he might've done things a bit differently he wasn't on a time crunch before enlisting in the military. I also remember him saying initially the album was going to be a mini album but he just kept recording songs and the album became 10 songs. The man can sing and perform and I might be a little biased in that he would literally sing the phone book and I would still love it. And I've also seen people check out Jungkook because of his solo collabs and then they will check out BTS and/or the other member's solo work.
@@crystalsnow1138 I agree with that. I feel like the part where the commenter ranted about how he hasn't contributed anything significant to the industry is unfair. He only has one album lol. What kind of grownbreaking contribution where they expecting? Those kinds of conversations come when an artist has already established themselves. We should have it after a couple of albums.
@@crystalsnow1138 Yeah, I enjoyed the album as well. I admit a lot of them didn't strike me on first listen but they're really catchy and easy to listen to so I found myself going back to them, even the songs I didn't like at first became songs I listen to often. I think it's up to expectations. It's okay not to like one of the members releases and call it a day, but instead some fans are saying that 'this isn't Jungkook' or something. He chose for the album to be less personal (in terms of themes/lyrical content) so I'm sure there's a reason (timing probably being one of them). I think that bc he's Jungkook these songs that are quite generic realistically, were able to still have an impact that wouldn't happen if a run-of-the-mill pop artist from America/UK had released them. He has his own performance style and he's Jungkook from BTS. He can do whatever he wants and he'll still be loved/get hated on regardless lol.
15:36 honestly after my boy, Angus cloud passed away. I feel like the show should’ve just been immediately canceled because he was honestly the highlight of the show outside of the whole situation with Cassie and Maddie. Then once the little brother passed away on the show, I was like yes it’s really no reason for them to be on here still trying to make a show because again I feel like Fesco and the little brother were highlights of the show.
29:02 actually there have always been writers in rap even in the beginning. Some rap founders were given their raps. It was always who could carry the bravado who had the charisma. Writing your own raps didn’t really become super important until the 90s rap renaissance.
But rap is different from pop. In Rap, you cannot be respected or held to the same level as someone if you don’t write your own raps. That’s why comparison like Cardi and Nicki don’t make sense. Nicki writes her own raps, Cardi doesn’t.
i saw carly i came here as fast as i can lol whauah. as for miss carly, shes really not parasocial, she doesnt do drama, she has unfortunate branding and her eras are kinda all over the place and i don’t think she minds despite her great music. if she really wants to do pop the way its done now i think she would be mainstream successful but yes she seems to be more than happy as to were she is now even though her stans (me included lol) would love to see her bigger. the best thing tho she listens to us and releases what most her fans wants like sometimes she rerecord old demos bec the carly stans requested. shes amazing 😭
I think mall autograph signings being brought back would be cute! Recently, my sister told me that Chad Michael Murray did a signing/ appearance at a local mall and a lot of people showed up! But then again, the girls who really care about CMM are prolly well into their 30s so they may have done signings like that in their teenage years. I immediately thought about the potential dangers of having a celebrity in that environment. Christina Grimmie definitely came to mind.
Autograph signing is still very much a thing in the UK especially London, record stores often have signings whenever an artists has a release, most times they also perform 3/4 songs from said album. It helps with sales especially on release because you have to buy the record as your ticket to the show. I’ve seen RAYE, NAO, Joy Crookes and quite a few more in record store signings. So maybe it isn’t a thing in America anymore …. However these signings definitely take time as you have the queue after the show for a pic and what not so maybe the artist doesn’t always have time when it comes to releasing new music and touring
That is a good point about artists and song lyrics, either writing, or not writing, or partially writing with other song writers, that it does not really matter, or diminish one's talent at all, if they are not writing all, or most of their own lyrics. Although, it is a commendable skill and talent, creating lyrics for any songs, regardless if it is for themselves or for another artist to sing. I think a lot of artists ( and their fans) place too much significance on "if" they write all their lyrics or not. The most important aspect of creating a song, is being able to understand what makes the best version of of it, and sometimes that means using someone else's lyrics. That makes the artist, even more of a true artist, not less, because they are able to recognize that maybe their lyrics did not work as well for the song than the lyrics written by another. Having the humility, and desire for artistic excellence, to use the "best" lyrics for the song is a huge talent in itself. Very few artists have every talent rolled up in a perfect self contained package. It is unrealistic to expect any artist to have pitch perfect powerful vocals, completely self written masterful lyrics, creating the catchiest and most sonically pleasing melodies and harmonies, then having stage the presence to effectively perform these songs, including all the dancing or other choreography that goes into it, and not to forget the instruments some play, and then to have it all come in a very physically attractive package... it is a rare occurrence for one person to embody it all. Some artists have their egos get in the way, and don't like to admit that they are having some assistance in the lyric writing, or other parts of the song writing process, which is sad because some of our most iconic, most outstandingly successful, and most beloved talents of all time have not written any of their own lyrics, and still managed to outshine most of their contemporaries that do write all their own lyrics.
I definitely miss remixes that aren’t a dance remix or add-a-verse-from-a-rapper. Like the ones that switched up the genre. These examples are super old but: DC’s ballad album version of “No, No, No” being remixed into upbeat R&B, the Rodney Jerkins remix of J.Lo’s If You Had My Love” or even the Stop remix of Britney’s “(You Drive Me) Crazy”.
I fully agree on the legacy part. It’s something that you establish on your own, not make people carry it for you regardless of your relationship with them. I don’t want kids, but if I were to ever have one then I want them to create their own legacy rather than relying on my own
34:04 for the discussion on JK’s music, he’s always been a pop boy, he consumes pop music and admires a lot of pop artists so I expected his album to reflect his own taste. Plus after he said that he didn’t feel like he had anything to say personally through music, it makes sense that he just chose to go with a theme for his first solo album. Any solo music made by JK prior to his solo album has been mostly fan songs or songs about his experiences growing up so maybe eventually we will see more of that after he’s had more experiences in life.
Billie did work with another producer when she did Never Felt So Alone with Labrinth since he is a producer as well and it sounded amazing. I think more collabs with other producers would be awesome but also I would consider Billie herself a part of the producing with her brother and very engaged with the vocal layering and everything. There are lots of artists who produce their own music and their sound is still catchy at least to me and its almost in a similiar vein of bands who create music together for years.
So gorgeous with that blue t-shirt Naomi. I love Ed Sheeran, i think he's so sweet, he even likes cats like me haha. Princess and the Frog is one of my favorite movies. I even have a blue dress very similar to the one from the movie. I'm a Disney fan. ❤
girl could u talk about the yes, and? remix with Mariah? idk if I'm crazy like I love Ariana and Mariah but I never thought a song with them could sound that bad😭
omg i thought i was the only one who felt this way 😭I was not feeling it!! Great singers but there was something about Mariah in this song that I wasn't loving- I wish she was reserved instead for a ballad track (if there is gonna be one) in enternal sunshine
@@yona4121 OMG. That's it. She's going ballad instead of going soft and silky like on "GTFO". I was trying to figure out why their voices don't mesh well in this song and it's totally how Mimi's singin'!
SAME. I love both Ari and Mimi. But their voices don't mesh well on this track. And it's totally what yona4121 said: Mariah's vocal delivery isn't the same vibe as Ari's or the song's. But I was also thinking who *else* could have been on this track instead of Mariah? Am I crazy for thinking Britney using her soft head voice would totally vibe with this track?!
Have been waiting for this video (woke up like it was a Saturday morning cartoon). I love your version of unpopular opinions because you effectively articulate clearly what you agree/disagree with rather than just saying “Yeah, I agree” or “No, absolutely not”. I look forward to seeing more. Also, I think I wrote mine while I was running on minimal sleep, so apologies for the errors ☺️
Billie has said (more than once) that she can't imagine herself creating music with anyone other than Finneas, not just because he's her brother, but mostly because she feels happy and comfortable doing so with someone she loves and trusts, so she can be honest and vulnerable throughout the process. I think pairing her with another producer would only lead to her losing the greatest qualities of her music that set her apart from all other mainstream artists: the vulnerability, the 'homemade' feel of her songs and the delivery of her vocals (that always feel so honest and intimate). The idea that you can always make more numbers is kinda obnoxious and pretentious, especially when she's already doing great numbers. It doesn't seem like giving it away her signature style would improve her artistry. But who knows... it can be someone out there who can provide such an atmosphere of writing and recording that'll feel right for her. We'll see
Jungkook is finding his sound. He’s made no secret that he’s hugely influenced by Usher and Bieber. Bieber and Puth specifically are super popular in Korea and JK grew up listening to them, he idolized them. As part of BTS, JK is already incredibly influential. BTS’ influence on boy and girl groups in Kpop is MASSIVE and JK is a huge part of that. They are living legends at this point. It’s just that as a soloist he is still figuring stuff out.
@@MrAjking808 lol, yeah he has! Many times. He even performed with Charlie Puth in Korea and was so nervous, there’s a whole behind the scenes video. He said he studied Usher as a trainee. When BTS were attending award shows they would ways say they wanted to meet Usher. We don’t have to make stuff up. Jungkook has been performing since he was 15.
YES FREE DOECHII! WHERE IS HER ALBUM SHE PROMISED BY THE END OF 2023? I was a big fan of her and I promise she changed so much with TDE. It just doesn't even sound like her. Please don't turn this into another Chlöe incident, Doechii is too precious and TDE needs to get their shit together. She also very likely could be taking her time to perfect the big debut full LP. I hope it's that one. She was on-record in an interview over a full year ago, and she was explaining her upcoming album IN DETAIL as if it was almost already finished, and she promised with full conviction that it would be out by the end of 2023. She was very sincere in her tone when she said that, and she was speaking to her fans directly. When I see how TDE held back SZA's SOS for YEARS just to make more money from Ctrl. Seems like a pattern to me, TDE is mostly men, and I don't think they are good at working with or managing the women they sign.
Why doesn't Drake get the same smoke for using ghost writers? Cause he doesn't write A LOT of his music and it has even been proven who writes and demos a lot of his songs and yet he never receives any backlash for not writing his on music
I don't think Billie has to necessarily stop working with her brother but sprinkling in some other collaborators, even just as co-producers, definitely wouldn't hurt
When a movie comes out, no one complains that multiple people worked on it. They don’t sit there saying to the lead actor that they didn’t write, direct, play every character, and edit the movie. Music is a collaborative process, you might have an amazing voice but have no idea how to write a catchy beat. One producer might be doing the final mixing process and retiming to make the song sound good, which is highly technical. You’re not untalented for using a team to produce a song. The only people who think that are people who know nothing about the music making process and are, very likely, untalented themselves.
I completely agree with your point about Saltburn and Farleigh! Especially the second time they got rid of him - all because of what Oliver said or rather hinted on after Felix’ death - and then we never see him again? Even after the head of the family passes away? Of course, this is fiction and all but yeah, there are a lot of plot holes especially towards the end of the movie.
I have to say, I love your blue top - it looks so cute! It seems like we share similar opinions on certain things. However, I must admit that I am a bit surprised about the state of radio in this country, as other countries don't seem to have the same issue. Regarding Kpop, I got into it through the boys from SNSD, but the SM sound isn't very digestible for American/Western audiences.
The fact you brought up The Westing Game amazes me because I’ve been thinking about this book for months and couldn’t remember the title so thank you lol
"This is not game of thrones" lmao The billie production opinion really tells you how people's view of success is so skewed. Firstly, she is so damn successful so like wdym😭😭 Secondly, the core of her music is based on intimacy and authenticity I doubt she would want to work with any other producer. She doesn't need to experiment with other producers to be successful (unless she wants to ofc), that doesn't work for everyone. I don't think it would help her brand or her music. There are so many ways to be successful and as long as she keeps the core of her music but keeps exploring new genres in a controlled and comfortable space, she'll be good, even great. And her brother knows how to maintain that core of her music, the identity of it.
15:56 imo once a show starts losing the main cast it’s time to pack it up I fear, I stopped watching sex lives of college girls for the exact reason, the dude that plays Niko left to make elevator music and Renee Rapp left too, cus if you’re watching the show for particular characters especially if they’re vital to the show there’s really no point in watching anymore imo, if a majority of the euphoria cast is leaving what’s the point of watching and continuing past season 2, or season 3 if they even start making it, plus the show is past it’s prime imo, a majority of the cast is or damn near in their 30s, how long do they think ppl are gonna want to watch 30 yr olds cosplay as highschool kids, plus Sam levingston he washed he needs to get packed up
people who did not/do not have kids - Tupac, Rosa Parks, Orprah, Vivica Fox, Ellen Degeneres, Betty white, Tracie Ellis Ross - the list is long however their legacy speaks Famous people who have been passed a great legacy because of their father - Venus/Serena Williams, Beyonce, Lewis Hamilton, Steph Curry & his brother, Tracie Ellis Ross, the Jackson 5- the list is long!
Let’s leave Traci Ellis Ross out of the situation because she couldn’t take on her father’s name which would’ve gotten her way farther in life than her mother’s name got her in Hollywood
You explained the comment about ghostwriting perfectly...Rapping is different, while singers can take lyrics someone else wrote and put their spin on Rappers have to have their own flow adlibs and style or its not authentic.
I really miss how artists carried out promotional cycles before tiktok. They rely on short form content to promote their music and wonder why the hype seems to come and go. Also, the opinion about children and legacies is spot on. Unless you have something of value to pass down (money, fame, a special trade), your legacy isn't worth a damn. I also feel like the more children you have, especially outside of committed relationships, the more you water down your legacy (looking at you, Nick Cannon). I think that's why the wealthy tend to have less children, despite being able to afford having more.
I actually don’t mind that Carly Rae Jepsen is “underrated “. First of all, I think she’s already doing all right considering people still like to see her play live. Secondly, not everyone has to reach Taylor Swift status in order to be successful and get streams. although Taylor is my number one most streamed artist on Spotify, Carly is my number two. I love her albums, dedicated, dedicated side B, the loneliest time and the loveliest time. I think she’s fine how she is. Being too big, I feel, it adds too much pressure to constantly compete with other people. Look at how hard Beyoncé and Taylor constantly work. It’s gotta be exhausting.
love your channel, thanks for choosing my opinion! i see where you’re coming from with not even wanting a season three. angus added a lot to the show and it would be weird without him in it. i just think the show should have a conclusion bc many questions are left unanswered & the show ended in a cliff hanger
The having children to create a legacy gets me. I always ask the person to name like 3-5 iconic people and then name all of their children. Usually can’t get past that and when they do I ask what mark the children are leaving and then ask if they approve. It feels like you’re having children to simply continue something but what and why is “it” and what life does that leave one to live?
I love Princess and the Frog! It came out my freshmen yr of high school and I remember making sure I saw it in theaters. Idk how I feel about cgi frogs and swamps lol Oprah could still play her mom
1. Yeah bring back autographs. 2. I remember as a kid the radio hardly played music in the morning it was mostly like the breakfast club does - talk radio and interviews, call-ins, Games, news and fake astrology breakdowns which was so fun 😂😂 3. Yeah rap is definitely different because it started out as a direct reflection of folks experiences or their dreams. Yes there were alot of conceptualized songs but it was heavily relative to their lives. Rnb singers it's different because while so many of them can write and or play piano alot of the earlier acts came up in church or theater where they knew how to convey an emotion even if the song didn't really reflect their life. And POP definitely hardly even feels like it's meant to be that deep lol. Pop it doesn't matter as long as it's catchy and we'll produced.
Omg yesss! The lil fake cheating skits were hilarious, but my faves were those weeks long challenges where they’d try to get someone to call in and be able to guess the voices or several celebs from interviews (my behind was too good at it but you had to be an adult to call in 😭)
@@naomi.cannibal yesss!! That's when radio was fun!! I remember being on the school bus in middle and high school and our bus driver played the black stations in the morning so we got a good lil kiki in before school 😂
the Billie take is so interesting and it really makes me think of Rina Sawayama! almost all of her work thus far has been largely produced with Clarence Clarity. I love the magic they make together and how they have managed to give us so many different yet fresh sounds. But I also can’t help but wonder how it would it be for her to branch out to other producers. I just feel like she has the potential to bring back the essence and appeal of the 2000s / y2k music landscape in a way that none of the other pop girls could do. if she worked with timbaland or danja hills, I could very much see a “Loose” Nelly Furtado trajectory for her. and it would be her third studio album too and right in line for a sort of “good girl gone bad” arc of her career especially now that she’s already given us some of her most intimate and vulnerable pieces of work…I don’t know just some food for thought and something that’s been on my mind for a while 😭😭
I definitely enjoyed Saltburn. I had to watch it twice to understand it. It definitely was some shock value but I appreciate seeing how obsessive a person can me for their personal gains.
Kpop focusing more on western audiences is a good thing IMO. It's so great seeing the love that Jihyo and Jongyeon get outside of Asia because they're more relatable or fit our beauty standards more. Also look how insanely popular Lisa is overseas compared to how she's treated in Korea.
I just wanna say for Saltburn, Farleigh pointed out how pointed out how racist the family can be. Ex: Not knowing their black footman's names that literally family sees all the time meanwhile Farleigh knew their names. So I don't think the parents would have care even if Farleigh said he had Oliver in his bed. They see Farliegh as a blk thief that they tried to 'give a good life too' and once he 'schemed', their racist views were confirmed.
Oh I see got that vibe esp from the dad but my point is I wouldn’t have gone down without a fight, even if it was futile, and that’s the type of character Farleigh seemed like
Another unpopular opinion/tinfoil conspiracy theory: I think Euphoria is the underlying reason for all this anti-s*x scene discourse. Let's be real; most of the people who want s*x scenes to disappear haven't seen them done in a way that's not absolutely cringe or actually enrich the story (may not even have watched much TV/movies for adults at all). Meanwhile season 2 of Euphoria was like one of if not the most popular show on HBO Max when it was airing and featured terrible writing and lots of cringe s*x. I'm just putting two and two together.
this discourse didn’t start with euphoria, it’s always been an agenda being peddled by conservatives bc they’re insecure in their own sexuality and seeing sex depicted in media makes them uncomfortable, it has nothing to do with the media itself
Ed Sheeran is like maroon 5 or imagine dragons very what others would call “bland” or “grocery store pop. You can put 2010s Coldplay too cause 2000s Coldplay is a little more loved by critics and the public. But I like all these artists 😂 and I kinda like how their fans especially like Ed or maroon 5 or imagine dragons fans are chill. You never see them in Twitter or stan wars. And I think it’s because we realize why people don’t like the music. We just enjoy it and stay quiet I guess 😂 but I kind of like how a lot of these type of stands are a lot more quiet and not so mean.
Saying not wanting kids is selfish is wild to me. There’s no selfless reason to have kids no matter how you try and frame it. Not saying having/wanting children is bad, just saying only the parents benefit from it. Based on the state that our world is in, no child benefits from being born. You can’t even argue that it helps keep the human race alive because a) the world is overpopulated and b) we’re literally killing the planet. Adoption would be the only selfless option tho imo.
I would love Billie Eilish to work with Timbaland or The Neptunes. Hell even Salaam Remi, his work with Amy Winehouse during Frank was amazing. I really want her to one-up the dark Hip-Hop influence of her debut and soft R&B/Soul influences from her EP and HTE but play into a more urban appeal. Timbaland & The Neptunes play with alot of genres like Finneas, they already have this edgy sound into R&B that feels like it works with Billie's brand (Kelis, Aaliyah and Britney Spears come to mind) and I feel like both can really push her to go into more statement pop singles again like her Debut era. I want another moment for Billie, one that's sultry and rhythmic that shows she's still the bad girl sad girl (srry if that sounds cringey but lets be honest that's her niche) but more grown. HTE hinted at moments like these but it was all over the place for ME (Oxytocin was the worst offender lol but Billie Bossa Nova & NDA ate) She's already big enough to work with them too, I remember her being in a studio with Timbaland and his protege Perto once so there's a possibility!
I agree what you said about Carly Rae, I don't think she really wants the Taylor Swift level of fame, because as great as that sounds to have that kind of fame it is a double edged sword that can demolish a person's mental health. Once you are any where near the level of fame, you get all the people who despise you weighing in on every word you utter, and every word you don't. As many fans that someone like Taylor has, the number of non fans or out right haters, greatly exceeds the number of fans. Artists like Carly, who have a large and loyal fan base, kind of sit in a sweet spot of having a successful career, but not so much as that it irritates the non fans or haters. One of the reasons Carly doesn't have a lot of "haters" weighing in, is because she is not forever in their face everyday, so they seldom feel the need to express their darker unpleasant feelings about her. I think Taylor might have been a happier person if her career was more like Carly's, although she would probably argue with that assessment. The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall, and the harder you have to strive to stay there. I think Carly is happy right where she is.
i feel like a lot of remixes can be half assed but i feel like a lot of work was put into the slow dancing remixes, they feel like completely different songs to me while still being remixes
...been a while since I have seen "princes and the frog", but I think its one of the most suited stories to age their characters up without it being strange (Tiana is working full time like a grown adult and her goal is to open up a restaurant). This would be the absolut least of my problems 😂 Regarding: casting voice actor = actor... I don't know about that. If the voice actor is a good actor and matches the vision good enough (e.g. VAs of children in The Simpsons 😂) My main problems with Life-Action is: - Good ones look like a too long commercial for the animation studio - feels cheap esp. Carbon copies of the story or how the deviations from the original are made/written (feels ironical...) => Esp. the 1:1 copies make me incredibly sad and sometimes even angry as a cartoon/"full" animation fan... The storyboards at that time were written for that medium and YOU CAN TELL because amazing artists worked on it! A lot does not translate as well into life-action and forcing it feels like disdaining cartoons and non-hyperrealistic animation... Regarding Life-Action Adaptation: With the Alligator and the crazy firefly being animals I am not too sure how much you would have to change/adapt the story board to increase Tiana's human time. For that it would be great if they could somehow integrate e.g. flashbacks in a pace-fitting way. (=> by extending the story to extend the proportion/percentage of her human-time in the film)
"Good *looking ones look like a commercial" -> I mean the Lion King remake and how it was due to the hyperrealism not allowed to show emotions as well as the original cartoon 🙃 The trailers already got on my nerves and from reviews I got my confirmation that it was indeed as expressive as stale bread compared to the original cartoon... But hey... at least at that time their animations and special effects looked well made... 🙃 Hence the commercial
When I saw Saltburn in the roster, I thought it was gonna be about “Murder on the Dancefloor”. I know I sound stupid af but I got into that song a long time ago and it’s weird af to hear it everywhere.

The thing about Jungkook is that he was inspired primarily by western male R&B-Popstars. Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Omarion and Justin Timberlake are who he grew up on and who he was influenced by so I don’t understand that criticism when that’s pretty much the foundations of what and why he does what he does.
Absolutely. Also there’s so many people complaining that male singers aren’t giving performance and vocals or simply aren’t trying to entertain and here’s Jungkook showing he’s influenced by the greats. The comparisons were always going to happen like they do with Tate and Britney for example, so he just leaned into them. This is just first solo album. Also, Asian artists are always going to face big barriers unless they sound accessible, hopefully he changes it up now that he has more name ID.
This arguement should apply to jesy nelson too then, she grew up listening to hip hop/reggae music and when she made boyz, she got so much hate even tho she didnt do anything wrong
@@aryxn0 the difference is her song is portraying black culture as if it’s a costume from referring to black men as “bad boyz”, trying to look racially ambiguous as a yt woman, and then supporting colorist statements towards her other group member leigh-anne so no this argument does NOT apply to her.

I kinda have to disagree with the person saying Billie will be limited with her brother as her sole career producer. I think a great example is Shania Twain. All of her prime discography for a solid decade is diverse and some of the highest selling country, all produced by her and her ex-husband. Also Janet who pretty exclusively worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and has one of the most diverse catalogues in Pop and R&B. Both of those ladies first two albums had very similar sounds then they went crazy after that. So Billie still needs more time
i loved the concept for olivia rodrigo’s virtual m&g where she was on a live stream and answered q’s etc. it was still personalized for fans but safe for her !
As someone who currently works at a classical music radio station, we make a huuuuuuge effort to give listeners very few ads lmao. We might do one ad per song break (3 ads per hour on average,,,, yes we are not very lucrative lol) and we load cds of performances into our program ourselves from our physical library of 10K+ cds. My boss also encourages us to read up the history of each selection and "sell" the piece, the composer, or the performers to our listeners, and the community seems to love it! I wish more mainstream radio stations also did this but half the time they do Not seem to gaf ab what they play, it's very interesting lmao.
I know my local radio station does commercial free hour every afternoon and I think that’s a great way to get more people to listen

Billie said in an interview that if phineas doesn’t want to produce or collaborate with her anymore she won’t make anymore music *paraphrased*

As a huge carly fan, I think the reason why she remains in a limited fan base is because she does not "reinvent" herself often. I think thats part of her appeal is because she grows slowly but surely as her artistry grows, and I love that! She stays out of drama and is just happy doing her gig
9:23 we need to bring back the mariah remixes standard back
Agreed. She’s the remix queen
Yeah. Yes And remix isn't doing it for me because it's like Mimi is singing over the OG song.
Exxactly….
about Jungkook, while I enjoyed his album, I do agree that out of all bts members his album seemed the least personal, but like you said, I think this issue will go away eventually and he'll find his own unique color. I think it could be due to the fact he debuted as a soloist kinda late imo and spent all his teenage years as a band member. He also said he didn't feel like releasing any personal music at the moment, but perhaps after military enlistment and more experience, he'll open up to it. I look forward to his future projects.
edit: I forgot to add, but about "jungkook hasn't contributed to the industry" part, I feel like it's too early to even talk about it. He only just debuted as a solo artist, he has 1 album. Idk what kind of contribution the commenter was expecting. Right now, it would probably just be more exposure to kpop.
@@user-pq3lu6cd2l :( they're coming back in 2025 though.... Jin is coming back this year on june I believe!
But also to say he hasn’t contributed to the industry when he is a Gen Z icon and member of BTS is wild. BTS is legendary on their own. It’s his solo work that is in flux.
@@Lonadurn Yup, I agree!! Jungkook has brought so many people into kpop, some of my friends who have been insisting for years that kpop was bad warmed up to him and now are fans! To say he hasn't contributed anything is just not true. However, I think the commenter was talking in terms of artistry, which I thought it was an unfair thing to do since his solo career just started.
I clicked mainly because it had Billie in the thumbnail. When I first heard bad guy, I didn’t really get it, I bought into the “why is she whispering” (I never liked the Billie soundalikes labels try to push) but I’ve grown to really respect her artistry and her uniqueness
lollll that I was playing that first album nonstop
@@naomi.cannibalshe was EVERYWHERE at that time! Could not avoid her!
I really liked it once I fully delved into it. I like to listen to full albums front to back
@@naomi.cannibalone thing to notice is that Billie is heavy influenced by Melody Gardot, hence why her sound is a little too whispery
With Jungkook's debut, I wasn't surprised that his songs were very Western-leaning when it came to the genres he chose (based on the producers and the announcement that all songs would be in English). He's known to have been creating a mixtape around 2022 (I think, maybe even earlier) but he apparently deleted the songs bc he wasn't satisfied with them and wanted to start fresh. For an interview, he said that he didn't have anything to say in particular so he didn't want to release any solo music (in 2023) but he was approached by Bang Si Hyuk PD and Scooter Braun, who sort of warmed him up to the idea of releasing a solo EP debut. He agreed and picked out the songs and everything but it's clearly not his work in the sense that his essence isn't in the EP, even though he definitely performed his best. That being said, it's healthy for him to realize that he didn't have anything to say and took a step back and let pop professionals write for him bc realistically whatever he releases will make him and HYBE money no matter what it is. I'm excited for his next solo work though, bc I'd guess that he'd have a more hands on approach.
Some people are acting as if Golden will be Jungkook's only solo release. He's got his whole life to grow as a person and as an artist. If he wasn't ready to write an album or simply didn't want to write an album that's his choice to make. I remember during a livestream a fan asked if he was going to make music in Korean again and he said something like of course I'm Korean aren't I. Are the songs on his album groundbreaking? No, but I still thoroughly enjoyed his album. I think he might've done things a bit differently he wasn't on a time crunch before enlisting in the military. I also remember him saying initially the album was going to be a mini album but he just kept recording songs and the album became 10 songs. The man can sing and perform and I might be a little biased in that he would literally sing the phone book and I would still love it. And I've also seen people check out Jungkook because of his solo collabs and then they will check out BTS and/or the other member's solo work.
@@crystalsnow1138 I agree with that. I feel like the part where the commenter ranted about how he hasn't contributed anything significant to the industry is unfair. He only has one album lol. What kind of grownbreaking contribution where they expecting? Those kinds of conversations come when an artist has already established themselves. We should have it after a couple of albums.
@@crystalsnow1138 Yeah, I enjoyed the album as well. I admit a lot of them didn't strike me on first listen but they're really catchy and easy to listen to so I found myself going back to them, even the songs I didn't like at first became songs I listen to often. I think it's up to expectations. It's okay not to like one of the members releases and call it a day, but instead some fans are saying that 'this isn't Jungkook' or something. He chose for the album to be less personal (in terms of themes/lyrical content) so I'm sure there's a reason (timing probably being one of them). I think that bc he's Jungkook these songs that are quite generic realistically, were able to still have an impact that wouldn't happen if a run-of-the-mill pop artist from America/UK had released them. He has his own performance style and he's Jungkook from BTS. He can do whatever he wants and he'll still be loved/get hated on regardless lol.
Y’all clueless.. their obsessed with western culture & mostly white people have them same obsession for their culture. The label tells them what to do
15:36 honestly after my boy, Angus cloud passed away. I feel like the show should’ve just been immediately canceled because he was honestly the highlight of the show outside of the whole situation with Cassie and Maddie. Then once the little brother passed away on the show, I was like yes it’s really no reason for them to be on here still trying to make a show because again I feel like Fesco and the little brother were highlights of the show.

29:02 actually there have always been writers in rap even in the beginning. Some rap founders were given their raps. It was always who could carry the bravado who had the charisma. Writing your own raps didn’t really become super important until the 90s rap renaissance.
But rap is different from pop. In Rap, you cannot be respected or held to the same level as someone if you don’t write your own raps.
That’s why comparison like Cardi and Nicki don’t make sense. Nicki writes her own raps, Cardi doesn’t.
i saw carly i came here as fast as i can lol whauah. as for miss carly, shes really not parasocial, she doesnt do drama, she has unfortunate branding and her eras are kinda all over the place and i don’t think she minds despite her great music. if she really wants to do pop the way its done now i think she would be mainstream successful but yes she seems to be more than happy as to were she is now even though her stans (me included lol) would love to see her bigger. the best thing tho she listens to us and releases what most her fans wants like sometimes she rerecord old demos bec the carly stans requested. shes amazing 😭

I think mall autograph signings being brought back would be cute! Recently, my sister told me that Chad Michael Murray did a signing/ appearance at a local mall and a lot of people showed up! But then again, the girls who really care about CMM are prolly well into their 30s so they may have done signings like that in their teenage years. I immediately thought about the potential dangers of having a celebrity in that environment. Christina Grimmie definitely came to mind.
“ugh I dunno PEMDAS” 😂 you are so funny.
Autograph signing is still very much a thing in the UK especially London, record stores often have signings whenever an artists has a release, most times they also perform 3/4 songs from said album.
It helps with sales especially on release because you have to buy the record as your ticket to the show. I’ve seen RAYE, NAO, Joy Crookes and quite a few more in record store signings. So maybe it isn’t a thing in America anymore ….
However these signings definitely take time as you have the queue after the show for a pic and what not so maybe the artist doesn’t always have time when it comes to releasing new music and touring
That is a good point about artists and song lyrics, either writing, or not writing, or partially writing with other song writers, that it does not really matter, or diminish one's talent at all, if they are not writing all, or most of their own lyrics. Although, it is a commendable skill and talent, creating lyrics for any songs, regardless if it is for themselves or for another artist to sing. I think a lot of artists ( and their fans) place too much significance on "if" they write all their lyrics or not. The most important aspect of creating a song, is being able to understand what makes the best version of of it, and sometimes that means using someone else's lyrics. That makes the artist, even more of a true artist, not less, because they are able to recognize that maybe their lyrics did not work as well for the song than the lyrics written by another. Having the humility, and desire for artistic excellence, to use the "best" lyrics for the song is a huge talent in itself. Very few artists have every talent rolled up in a perfect self contained package. It is unrealistic to expect any artist to have pitch perfect powerful vocals, completely self written masterful lyrics, creating the catchiest and most sonically pleasing melodies and harmonies, then having stage the presence to effectively perform these songs, including all the dancing or other choreography that goes into it, and not to forget the instruments some play, and then to have it all come in a very physically attractive package... it is a rare occurrence for one person to embody it all. Some artists have their egos get in the way, and don't like to admit that they are having some assistance in the lyric writing, or other parts of the song writing process, which is sad because some of our most iconic, most outstandingly successful, and most beloved talents of all time have not written any of their own lyrics, and still managed to outshine most of their contemporaries that do write all their own lyrics.
Rap stands for RHYTHM and POETRY, so of course we expect rap artists to be writers of their own work
I definitely miss remixes that aren’t a dance remix or add-a-verse-from-a-rapper. Like the ones that switched up the genre. These examples are super old but: DC’s ballad album version of “No, No, No” being remixed into upbeat R&B, the Rodney Jerkins remix of J.Lo’s If You Had My Love” or even the Stop remix of Britney’s “(You Drive Me) Crazy”.
Ironically those are 2 remixes I heard before the OG song (my dad wears outttt the No No No remix lmao)
I fully agree on the legacy part. It’s something that you establish on your own, not make people carry it for you regardless of your relationship with them. I don’t want kids, but if I were to ever have one then I want them to create their own legacy rather than relying on my own

34:04 for the discussion on JK’s music, he’s always been a pop boy, he consumes pop music and admires a lot of pop artists so I expected his album to reflect his own taste. Plus after he said that he didn’t feel like he had anything to say personally through music, it makes sense that he just chose to go with a theme for his first solo album. Any solo music made by JK prior to his solo album has been mostly fan songs or songs about his experiences growing up so maybe eventually we will see more of that after he’s had more experiences in life.
as an indie artist, i'm definitely taking advantage of this. i want this so badly. so i'm praying it works out.
@KrissyKayyy thank you so much. I really appreciate that, like I really do.
my biggest advice is to definitely establish a visual identity, you can thrive so much from that alone. I know you’ll succeed though 🤍
pop radio stations be playing only these 3 songs: Flowers, Cruel Summer and Anti Hero, just those 3 period
Yessss or that Taylor swift is it over yet song omgg. If I never hear a Taylor swift song again it’ll be too soon
I don't ever want to hear Flowers again. Miley's had better.
Billie did work with another producer when she did Never Felt So Alone with Labrinth since he is a producer as well and it sounded amazing. I think more collabs with other producers would be awesome but also I would consider Billie herself a part of the producing with her brother and very engaged with the vocal layering and everything. There are lots of artists who produce their own music and their sound is still catchy at least to me and its almost in a similiar vein of bands who create music together for years.
So gorgeous with that blue t-shirt Naomi.
I love Ed Sheeran, i think he's so sweet, he even likes cats like me haha.

But I was also thinking who *else* could have been on this track instead of Mariah? Am I crazy for thinking Britney using her soft head voice would totally vibe with this track?!

Have been waiting for this video (woke up like it was a Saturday morning cartoon). I love your version of unpopular opinions because you effectively articulate clearly what you agree/disagree with rather than just saying “Yeah, I agree” or “No, absolutely not”. I look forward to seeing more.
Also, I think I wrote mine while I was running on minimal sleep, so apologies for the errors ☺️
lol it’s such a fun series bc the opinions are always pretty diverse
Billie has said (more than once) that she can't imagine herself creating music with anyone other than Finneas, not just because he's her brother, but mostly because she feels happy and comfortable doing so with someone she loves and trusts, so she can be honest and vulnerable throughout the process. I think pairing her with another producer would only lead to her losing the greatest qualities of her music that set her apart from all other mainstream artists: the vulnerability, the 'homemade' feel of her songs and the delivery of her vocals (that always feel so honest and intimate). The idea that you can always make more numbers is kinda obnoxious and pretentious, especially when she's already doing great numbers. It doesn't seem like giving it away her signature style would improve her artistry. But who knows... it can be someone out there who can provide such an atmosphere of writing and recording that'll feel right for her. We'll see
anika could easily play the mama since she looks like an older tiana and it would be a good hommage.
Jungkook is finding his sound. He’s made no secret that he’s hugely influenced by Usher and Bieber. Bieber and Puth specifically are super popular in Korea and JK grew up listening to them, he idolized them. As part of BTS, JK is already incredibly influential. BTS’ influence on boy and girl groups in Kpop is MASSIVE and JK is a huge part of that. They are living legends at this point. It’s just that as a soloist he is still figuring stuff out.
Did he say that? Feels like this is what you people coming up with on your own thoughts..
@@MrAjking808 lol, yeah he has! Many times. He even performed with Charlie Puth in Korea and was so nervous, there’s a whole behind the scenes video. He said he studied Usher as a trainee. When BTS were attending award shows they would ways say they wanted to meet Usher. We don’t have to make stuff up. Jungkook has been performing since he was 15.
YES FREE DOECHII! WHERE IS HER ALBUM SHE PROMISED BY THE END OF 2023? I was a big fan of her and I promise she changed so much with TDE. It just doesn't even sound like her. Please don't turn this into another Chlöe incident, Doechii is too precious and TDE needs to get their shit together.
She also very likely could be taking her time to perfect the big debut full LP. I hope it's that one. She was on-record in an interview over a full year ago, and she was explaining her upcoming album IN DETAIL as if it was almost already finished, and she promised with full conviction that it would be out by the end of 2023. She was very sincere in her tone when she said that, and she was speaking to her fans directly. When I see how TDE held back SZA's SOS for YEARS just to make more money from Ctrl. Seems like a pattern to me, TDE is mostly men, and I don't think they are good at working with or managing the women they sign.
Why doesn't Drake get the same smoke for using ghost writers? Cause he doesn't write A LOT of his music and it has even been proven who writes and demos a lot of his songs and yet he never receives any backlash for not writing his on music
I don't think Billie has to necessarily stop working with her brother but sprinkling in some other collaborators, even just as co-producers, definitely wouldn't hurt
these braids >>> 😍
thank you💕
When a movie comes out, no one complains that multiple people worked on it. They don’t sit there saying to the lead actor that they didn’t write, direct, play every character, and edit the movie. Music is a collaborative process, you might have an amazing voice but have no idea how to write a catchy beat. One producer might be doing the final mixing process and retiming to make the song sound good, which is highly technical. You’re not untalented for using a team to produce a song. The only people who think that are people who know nothing about the music making process and are, very likely, untalented themselves.
I completely agree with your point about Saltburn and Farleigh! Especially the second time they got rid of him - all because of what Oliver said or rather hinted on after Felix’ death - and then we never see him again? Even after the head of the family passes away?
Of course, this is fiction and all but yeah, there are a lot of plot holes especially towards the end of the movie.
I have to say, I love your blue top - it looks so cute! It seems like we share similar opinions on certain things. However, I must admit that I am a bit surprised about the state of radio in this country, as other countries don't seem to have the same issue. Regarding Kpop, I got into it through the boys from SNSD, but the SM sound isn't very digestible for American/Western audiences.

"This is not game of thrones" lmao
The billie production opinion really tells you how people's view of success is so skewed. Firstly, she is so damn successful so like wdym😭😭 Secondly, the core of her music is based on intimacy and authenticity I doubt she would want to work with any other producer. She doesn't need to experiment with other producers to be successful (unless she wants to ofc), that doesn't work for everyone. I don't think it would help her brand or her music. There are so many ways to be successful and as long as she keeps the core of her music but keeps exploring new genres in a controlled and comfortable space, she'll be good, even great. And her brother knows how to maintain that core of her music, the identity of it.
Agreed, they make magic together and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
15:56 imo once a show starts losing the main cast it’s time to pack it up I fear, I stopped watching sex lives of college girls for the exact reason, the dude that plays Niko left to make elevator music and Renee Rapp left too, cus if you’re watching the show for particular characters especially if they’re vital to the show there’s really no point in watching anymore imo, if a majority of the euphoria cast is leaving what’s the point of watching and continuing past season 2, or season 3 if they even start making it, plus the show is past it’s prime imo, a majority of the cast is or damn near in their 30s, how long do they think ppl are gonna want to watch 30 yr olds cosplay as highschool kids, plus Sam levingston he washed he needs to get packed up

You explained the comment about ghostwriting perfectly...Rapping is different, while singers can take lyrics someone else wrote and put their spin on Rappers have to have their own flow adlibs and style or its not authentic.
Love these videos so much ❤
me toooo 🫶🏾
I really miss how artists carried out promotional cycles before tiktok. They rely on short form content to promote their music and wonder why the hype seems to come and go.
Also, the opinion about children and legacies is spot on. Unless you have something of value to pass down (money, fame, a special trade), your legacy isn't worth a damn. I also feel like the more children you have, especially outside of committed relationships, the more you water down your legacy (looking at you, Nick Cannon). I think that's why the wealthy tend to have less children, despite being able to afford having more.
Beautiful discussion of «unpopular opinions» as always! And have a good day!
same to you!!
Whewww that kid legacy opinion was on POINT
I actually don’t mind that Carly Rae Jepsen is “underrated “. First of all, I think she’s already doing all right considering people still like to see her play live. Secondly, not everyone has to reach Taylor Swift status in order to be successful and get streams. although Taylor is my number one most streamed artist on Spotify, Carly is my number two. I love her albums, dedicated, dedicated side B, the loneliest time and the loveliest time. I think she’s fine how she is.
Being too big, I feel, it adds too much pressure to constantly compete with other people. Look at how hard Beyoncé and Taylor constantly work. It’s gotta be exhausting.
I love when u do these videos, I usually always agree with your rankings lmaooo❤
love your channel, thanks for choosing my opinion! i see where you’re coming from with not even wanting a season three. angus added a lot to the show and it would be weird without him in it. i just think the show should have a conclusion bc many questions are left unanswered & the show ended in a cliff hanger
Ofc!! I just know they wouldn’t give us the season we deserve, lowkey S2 was so convoluted I feel like it’s almost impossible lol
The having children to create a legacy gets me. I always ask the person to name like 3-5 iconic people and then name all of their children. Usually can’t get past that and when they do I ask what mark the children are leaving and then ask if they approve. It feels like you’re having children to simply continue something but what and why is “it” and what life does that leave one to live?
I love Princess and the Frog! It came out my freshmen yr of high school and I remember making sure I saw it in theaters. Idk how I feel about cgi frogs and swamps lol Oprah could still play her mom
1. Yeah bring back autographs.
2. I remember as a kid the radio hardly played music in the morning it was mostly like the breakfast club does - talk radio and interviews, call-ins, Games, news and fake astrology breakdowns which was so fun 😂😂
3. Yeah rap is definitely different because it started out as a direct reflection of folks experiences or their dreams. Yes there were alot of conceptualized songs but it was heavily relative to their lives. Rnb singers it's different because while so many of them can write and or play piano alot of the earlier acts came up in church or theater where they knew how to convey an emotion even if the song didn't really reflect their life. And POP definitely hardly even feels like it's meant to be that deep lol. Pop it doesn't matter as long as it's catchy and we'll produced.
Omg yesss! The lil fake cheating skits were hilarious, but my faves were those weeks long challenges where they’d try to get someone to call in and be able to guess the voices or several celebs from interviews (my behind was too good at it but you had to be an adult to call in 😭)
@@naomi.cannibal yesss!! That's when radio was fun!! I remember being on the school bus in middle and high school and our bus driver played the black stations in the morning so we got a good lil kiki in before school 😂
The way I’ve been saying forever that Anika Noni Rose should play Princess Tiana. I didn’t know her age.. but I still want her 😭
In a way , we kind of need to focus on traditional marketing, at least artist need to become more creative than just TikTok
I'd be interested in hearing Billie + Pharell
Your channel is such a comfort for me keep up the good work boo!
the Billie take is so interesting and it really makes me think of Rina Sawayama! almost all of her work thus far has been largely produced with Clarence Clarity. I love the magic they make together and how they have managed to give us so many different yet fresh sounds. But I also can’t help but wonder how it would it be for her to branch out to other producers. I just feel like she has the potential to bring back the essence and appeal of the 2000s / y2k music landscape in a way that none of the other pop girls could do. if she worked with timbaland or danja hills, I could very much see a “Loose” Nelly Furtado trajectory for her. and it would be her third studio album too and right in line for a sort of “good girl gone bad” arc of her career especially now that she’s already given us some of her most intimate and vulnerable pieces of work…I don’t know just some food for thought and something that’s been on my mind for a while 😭😭
Doechii has such star potential and the demand for her is there! i’d hate for her to be another Normani
Great gowns! Beautiful gowns! 😂
I definitely enjoyed Saltburn. I had to watch it twice to understand it. It definitely was some shock value but I appreciate seeing how obsessive a person can me for their personal gains.
Kpop focusing more on western audiences is a good thing IMO. It's so great seeing the love that Jihyo and Jongyeon get outside of Asia because they're more relatable or fit our beauty standards more. Also look how insanely popular Lisa is overseas compared to how she's treated in Korea.
I just wanna say for Saltburn, Farleigh pointed out how pointed out how racist the family can be. Ex: Not knowing their black footman's names that literally family sees all the time meanwhile Farleigh knew their names. So I don't think the parents would have care even if Farleigh said he had Oliver in his bed. They see Farliegh as a blk thief that they tried to 'give a good life too' and once he 'schemed', their racist views were confirmed.
Oh I see got that vibe esp from the dad but my point is I wouldn’t have gone down without a fight, even if it was futile, and that’s the type of character Farleigh seemed like
I agree with the saltburn take, after I saw the movie I felt a whole lot of nothing.
Another unpopular opinion/tinfoil conspiracy theory: I think Euphoria is the underlying reason for all this anti-s*x scene discourse. Let's be real; most of the people who want s*x scenes to disappear haven't seen them done in a way that's not absolutely cringe or actually enrich the story (may not even have watched much TV/movies for adults at all). Meanwhile season 2 of Euphoria was like one of if not the most popular show on HBO Max when it was airing and featured terrible writing and lots of cringe s*x. I'm just putting two and two together.
this discourse didn’t start with euphoria, it’s always been an agenda being peddled by conservatives bc they’re insecure in their own sexuality and seeing sex depicted in media makes them uncomfortable, it has nothing to do with the media itself
This is so true euphoria definitely played a huge factor to the anti s.e.x. discourse mainly bc those scenes involved teenage characters
Titanic did the sex scene well 😩👍🏾
I would love for Billie Eilish and Willow Smith to do a collaboration
Omg that photo of Ed Sheeran 😂 Honestly what got me on his side was his Chuckie halloween costume - he served 🔪
I love the pertective style you are rocking it and the color is perfection! ❤
thank you 🫶🏾
Carly Rae Jepsen has the gays. She's set for life.
Ed Sheeran is like maroon 5 or imagine dragons very what others would call “bland” or “grocery store pop. You can put 2010s Coldplay too cause 2000s Coldplay is a little more loved by critics and the public.
But I like all these artists 😂 and I kinda like how their fans especially like Ed or maroon 5 or imagine dragons fans are chill. You never see them in Twitter or stan wars. And I think it’s because we realize why people don’t like the music.
We just enjoy it and stay quiet I guess 😂 but I kind of like how a lot of these type of stands are a lot more quiet and not so mean.
Oliver did what?! Now I *really* don’t get the hype behind “Saltburn.” 🤢
the sudden mention of pemdas?? 😭😭😭😭
I love your unpopular opinions. I can’t wait for your calm clap backs 😂
Naomi!! You be wearing that blue girl!! 💙 🩵 Definitely your color
Saying not wanting kids is selfish is wild to me. There’s no selfless reason to have kids no matter how you try and frame it. Not saying having/wanting children is bad, just saying only the parents benefit from it. Based on the state that our world is in, no child benefits from being born. You can’t even argue that it helps keep the human race alive because a) the world is overpopulated and b) we’re literally killing the planet. Adoption would be the only selfless option tho imo.
Artists bring back autograph signing and I WILL sc@m with it LMFAO
Not calling Ed Sheerhan's albums collectively PEMDAS lmaoo 😂😂
I would love Billie Eilish to work with Timbaland or The Neptunes. Hell even Salaam Remi, his work with Amy Winehouse during Frank was amazing. I really want her to one-up the dark Hip-Hop influence of her debut and soft R&B/Soul influences from her EP and HTE but play into a more urban appeal.
Timbaland & The Neptunes play with alot of genres like Finneas, they already have this edgy sound into R&B that feels like it works with Billie's brand (Kelis, Aaliyah and Britney Spears come to mind) and I feel like both can really push her to go into more statement pop singles again like her Debut era. I want another moment for Billie, one that's sultry and rhythmic that shows she's still the bad girl sad girl (srry if that sounds cringey but lets be honest that's her niche) but more grown. HTE hinted at moments like these but it was all over the place for ME (Oxytocin was the worst offender lol but Billie Bossa Nova & NDA ate)
She's already big enough to work with them too, I remember her being in a studio with Timbaland and his protege Perto once so there's a possibility!
I agree what you said about Carly Rae, I don't think she really wants the Taylor Swift level of fame, because as great as that sounds to have that kind of fame it is a double edged sword that can demolish a person's mental health. Once you are any where near the level of fame, you get all the people who despise you weighing in on every word you utter, and every word you don't. As many fans that someone like Taylor has, the number of non fans or out right haters, greatly exceeds the number of fans. Artists like Carly, who have a large and loyal fan base, kind of sit in a sweet spot of having a successful career, but not so much as that it irritates the non fans or haters. One of the reasons Carly doesn't have a lot of "haters" weighing in, is because she is not forever in their face everyday, so they seldom feel the need to express their darker unpleasant feelings about her. I think Taylor might have been a happier person if her career was more like Carly's, although she would probably argue with that assessment. The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall, and the harder you have to strive to stay there. I think Carly is happy right where she is.
the atrocity that is Spotify’s disfunctional “shuffle” and the playlists system is the new radio payola
“uh, idk pemdas?” made me laugh out loud 😭😭
Kelela has 2 remix albums that really changed my outlook on remixes. She has turned a lot of her songs into something new.
Love the hairrr
Thank you 💕
looking back using whitney wasn’t really a good comparison lmaooo😭😭 but yayy i made it into the vidd!!!!😜
looking on the bright side I love it lmaooo 🫶🏾
i feel like a lot of remixes can be half assed but i feel like a lot of work was put into the slow dancing remixes, they feel like completely different songs to me while still being remixes
...been a while since I have seen "princes and the frog", but I think its one of the most suited stories to age their characters up without it being strange (Tiana is working full time like a grown adult and her goal is to open up a restaurant). This would be the absolut least of my problems 😂
Regarding: casting voice actor = actor... I don't know about that. If the voice actor is a good actor and matches the vision good enough (e.g. VAs of children in The Simpsons 😂)
My main problems with Life-Action is:
- Good ones look like a too long commercial for the animation studio
- feels cheap esp. Carbon copies of the story or how the deviations from the original are made/written (feels ironical...)
=> Esp. the 1:1 copies make me incredibly sad and sometimes even angry as a cartoon/"full" animation fan...
The storyboards at that time were written for that medium and YOU CAN TELL because amazing artists worked on it! A lot does not translate as well into life-action and forcing it feels like disdaining cartoons and non-hyperrealistic animation...
Regarding Life-Action Adaptation:
With the Alligator and the crazy firefly being animals I am not too sure how much you would have to change/adapt the story board to increase Tiana's human time.
For that it would be great if they could somehow integrate e.g. flashbacks in a pace-fitting way.
(=> by extending the story to extend the proportion/percentage of her human-time in the film)
"Good *looking ones look like a commercial" -> I mean the Lion King remake and how it was due to the hyperrealism not allowed to show emotions as well as the original cartoon 🙃
The trailers already got on my nerves and from reviews I got my confirmation that it was indeed as expressive as stale bread compared to the original cartoon...
But hey... at least at that time their animations and special effects looked well made... 🙃
Hence the commercial
When I saw Saltburn in the roster, I thought it was gonna be about “Murder on the Dancefloor”.
I know I sound stupid af but I got into that song a long time ago and it’s weird af to hear it everywhere.
