@mice__88 But that's the thing, he is relevant as people like her with influence will make them to be. That's why I don't like this because the last thing we need is another p-fork style edgelord to be taken seriously in the music industry
It's gen bizarre for OR to platform him cause not only is it icky from professional pov, but he's also below the brand she's built so far. She's already a huge pop star with a plethora of industry support, why does she want to associate herself with nobodies & edgelord culture..?
@mice__88 I just think it's D-lister tier content. Like I can imagine small artists who are struggling to book big platforms doing this to get any visibility, but she is not that anymore. Cause now imagine Beyonce doing this Whotano interview 😭
Artist of the Year #AMAs
🐨 : To be honest, when we enlisted what scared me the most was that people might turn away from us. But you've given our album so much love and we're even able to go on tour again so this feels like an incredibly moving and honourable moment
what gets me re: current music critics discourse is that none of these people are actual music critics. they have some non-music related liberal arts degrees and talk to a camera. your attention makes them believe their word has merit when they’re just opinions…

@mice__88 OR team has been the most aggressive in promos this year, and I can see them winning the game with it... Plus it's also relatively successful so far, although they are really trying hard to make it sound more impressive than it is
The thing is that this year imo is genuinelly full of slops with just very few exceptions. Either album has 10 sales in total, or it is simply artistic slop. If Gr still moves like these are more serious contenders than BTS, I'd be more disappointed than in dyna/butter era tbh
@mice__88 nah don't think so, her album had no commercial success in US at all, plus she is not accepted as a household name there. Someone like Ella prob has more chances. And I really doubt about Bruno, nom - 100%, but not win, it's just too much of a slop, i think even voters can see
