Artist that im ambivalent about....like ion really get it. | Kenya Has Thoughts

not to be mistaken for indifferent, cause i have thoughts...

Artist that im ambivalent about....like ion really get it. | Kenya Has Thoughts

Comments

this is how i feel about olivia rodrigo 😭 i LOVE to see her win and i think it's refreshing to see a young pop girl thriving and being confident in her image/sound/songwriting/etc. she's also beautiful!!! but the music just does NOT do it for me 😭 idk what it is. i think deja vu is a cute song and drivers license was a MOMENT for the girls but i think it's just not for me honestly. which is insane considering i'm a sabrina stan and they're not too far off from each other musically but idk... sabrina's schtick just meshes more well with me and my taste i suppose.

jewel

I’ve felt this for harry styles for SOOOO long. He is the reheater to reheat all nachos that ain’t his. He’s so boring but not to the point where i consistently remember he exists.

Kevin Bloo

I agreed with everything except The Weeknd and Bad Bunny 😂😂 as a dancer in the height of the 2010s, The Weeknd made music for me 😂 Bad Bunny is doing something creative on every album am I appreciate that. Someone on my list tho? Chappell Roan, Taylor swift and Asap Rocky 🤭

M.rachelle

Kenya u gotta watch season 2 of euphoria. Her acting is night and day from season one

Jam Dubuisson

okay now i really need the chappell thoughts after that CHD interview.

beeg

i loveeee justin bieber down tho, he really never had a chance in my eyes tho. it was all just too much 😭

joi

net neutrals: kehlani, sza, mariah the scientist, ari lennox, tyla, bryson tiller, willow, cardi, chloe, halle, normani

joi

we need your thoughts on Zendaya being casted in Barry Jenkin’s next movie plzzz 🙏🙏

jordan wilson

zendaya slander i fear i’m in enemy territory

Jayden Brown

Not the Zendaya sneak into music category. REPLAYY

jaleel

Kenya you should listen to the new Selena Gomez record. It’s sooooo good

Farhana

My net neutrals are: Doechii: I'm so happy for all the visibility and the moment she's having but I'm not too hot on her music so I'm not fully invested. Dua Lipa: I genuinely don't think her music is bad but from Future Nostalgia on the music is just fine to me. I do think for whatever reason though I got Sweetest Pie the way others didn't that's my shit Sza: I like maybe 30% of her music no shade😭but I really do respect what she's been able to do with so little besides her talent. She does strike me a bit as all over the place when it comes to getting out the music (Sza reminds me of Normani in that way because you could just not say anything💀.)But I know that at least 80% of that has to do with her manager Punch and TDE so. Demi Lovato: I love demi but i've never been obsessed with her music. I think people tried to give her too much sometimes when comparing her to people like Selena or Miley because she's a great singer as opposed to the actual bodies of work she has. Also she doesn't really have a superstar presence like her peers so I was never invested in her having a successful career. Demi just has some songs that I really enjoy and I hope she's doing well but that's pretty much it. I thought I had wayy more but the more I think about those all lean negative.

skylar

now i’m with you when you’re right! but hear me out…Beyoncé paved the way for every single artist who hits the stage and grabs a mic. They all reheating her nachos lmao

aj◇

Miss Tay Tay was so annoying in that lover album rollout lol (performative activism) then the matty healy stuff with ice spice. And making that album where she was mad that her fans didn’t like her racist bf. The over saturation, Jack Antonoff etc. As for CXC, bad music, bad performances, never understood the hype 💀

aj◇

They will never make me care about that girl no matter how many splits she does.

Lilac S.

see now i’m wildly curious to hear how you feel about barry jenkins directing zendaya in this new biopic

solana

im still on tumblr 😂 and still mutuals with the same harry girls, 10+ years later. have NEVER gaf about 1D LMFAO but those are my sisters at this point 💘

emil

🙏 praying for the drop of your list of ppl you hate LMAO

emil

Lmao unfortunately Tate went straight to the indifferent / “I’m not checking for them” category 😭

Roheena

I agree about Zendaya for sure. Gorgeous gowns but that acting is nothing to call home about. She's better than her man Ill give her that cuz ooooweee😭😭

Kayla Sanders

Demi when she’s good slay but when she’s not I’m not plugged in

Isaiah Lawrence

My net neutrals: Olivia Rodrigo Chappell Charli Coco Jones Most of the pop boys

Kayla Sanders

Same but she said she even worse😭I get it tho. Dopamine is the friends we made along the way😭😭😭

Kayla Sanders

I've always thought I felt this way because I'm an old bitch. I have a marriage, mortgage, and kids. They ain't singing nothing for me.

Catlady972

I agree with kehlani. YSBH and SSS were such important mixtapes/albums for me but since ....

Kayla Sanders

Sza and punch be pissing me off. They barely be doing anything. Then you got doechii at the same label putting in the work

KRYSTAL

I don't tune in alot of Zendaya stuff just cause she in it. The clips be making cringe . By the time, Zendaya got on Disney, I was growing out of my Disney era

KRYSTAL

I love seeing where Kenya and my taste overlap… like am I a hack or do I have superb taste lol

B Ann

Yesss!! Everybody celebrating Tom for standing up for his woman and being so so kind....But he couldnt bother making a tweet helping his costar(and the hate she got was brutal)

Christina Oghagbon

I like some of Charli’s songs but her image has always read as tacky to me

ceeitrus

Bruno Mars is my biggest ambivalent choice! Like I recognize that he is talented but I just rarely get on that wavelength. Others I can think of “Tyler the Creator”, Billie goes there, Tyla goes there, Summer Walker goes there, LNX goes there idk who else rn but those are who I think of off the top of my melon

Riffy

"Zendaya is an actress by trade....and that's where we run into the issue." The way I DIED and ran to grab my sunglasses.

Taylor Washington

Post Malone would go here for me. Nothing against him and I’ll tune in if he makes a good song, but generally it’s not for me😂

Peter

i'd love to know kenya's thoughts on dula peep

jay

I often see that criticism of Bruno but I feel like the difference with Bruno is heart and effort. Nothing Bruno does is half ass and there a lot of thought and time that goes into his writing and producing. What he lack in innovation he makes up in creativity which is why I believe Bruno has a distinctive sound that you can hear in songs like finesse, die with a smile, and all I ask. The same can’t be said about Harry he doing the stealing people swear Beyoncé do. There is no creativity or effort in Harry music which leave him with no real musical identity despite having 3 albums and an aoty. The main positive I can give Harry is he is well marketed and his pr has created a great image for him.

ann

Oddly enough, I'm more interested in both Chloe and Halle's individual film careers than their solo music careers at this point.

Comfortably Plump

I’m very meh about H.E.R. and on paper she should be right up my alley

Dominique

And then tate McRae, ppl been trying to shove that girl down my throat for the past year and I just don’t see it, all I’ve seen from her just comes off like she’s trying to create pop moments that were already made by someone else, like she dead be skin walking Britney Spears and I’m just tired, like I’m literally so tired of all the references, you can literally tell she’s trying to make a pop moment and it falls flat cus someone else did it already and it was hot when they did it, like do something else for the love of god lol

ceeitrus

I could never fully invest in harry styles bc I remember one time he tried to be political where he said “human rights are fundamental” and never expounding on what he said lol like that whole era was him trying to be like politically correct matty healy and it never worked so he dropped it lmao and then everything else is him cosplaying as Elton John, David Bowe and Peter Gabriel lol

ceeitrus

I’ve seen BTS pop up a few times, which fair. But there are a lot more groups and sounds to Kpop, especially before BTS brought the genre global acknowledgement and the industry tried cultivating to a western audience 😭

Alexandra March

random but do you still follow jack schlossburg shenanigans?

Liz Huerta

on my list would be charli xcx i liked brat but when ppl are like you guys have been sleeping on her im like no i was asleep for a reason. Dua is cute and i like some of her songs but i feel pretty ambivalent to her but i could see her bringing me back.

Liz Huerta

Her acting and Mannerisms are the same as when she was on Disney Channel. She hasn’t really grown/changed since then and I never feel like she is her characters. Her scenes in Dune are kinda of hard to watch everyone else acts circles around her. She’s just ehhh. Timothy even spoke better Chakobsa than her which is nuts because that’s her native language in the movie.

Ixa

I think apart of the downfall of Justin Bieber is the selena stuff, like his relationship drama with Selena and Hailey encompassed like most of his career to the point ppl dgaf about the music no more lol the fact Selena and his wife have been able to supersede Justin’s popularity and relevancy in itself is unserious lmao now all he do is relationship pr stunts with Hailey to promote her brand, I also think scooter Braun just ran him into the ground to the point he don’t wanna do stuff no more

ceeitrus

lol im a harry fan and like his music but i also understand the critiques bc they are times im like i see the potential but i need you to do more dear 😂.

Liz Huerta

Oh Kenya….you lost me a bit with the Taste slander 😭😭

Jordan Nwokeafor

The only K-pops that I’m like INTO now is BTS and BlackPink. 💜💜 Both groups are very talented and their lyrics translations are amazing! TXT is a close second but I don’t keep up with all of their music.

Dani

Ooo I loved that Christmas album!!!

Sara

Like I shed a tear. I love that song

Blank Page

The Zendaya slander. I pretend I do not hear it!! My singer neutral: Tate Mcrae. Tate is not here to save pop music, no she does not need to call herself a Britneydaughter. Who cares. Actor neutral: John Krasinski. Why everyone wanted him to be reed richard I'll never know. Though I enjoy the Quiet Place films, I don't need another horror movie from him. He could never direct again and I wouldn't notice

Diana

Harry styles been pissing me off like how you gonna do Elton John cosplay and then not do it right?

Chris Tina

Miley will never get 10s from me I’m so sorry😭 like I respect her but I do not like the doll. I think there are certain artists where you can respect their artistry and what they’ve been able to accomplish but still not care for. Like I respect Taylor swift but her music isn’t my thing and I do not check for her either like she’s just there

Chris Tina

Girl, I was nodding along until Benito hit the screen 😲 uhm

germaninatlanta

I’ve been saying the exact same thing about Harry for YEARS. He’s always cosplaying a better artist from the past.

Jennifer

She’s mentioned it before but I was hoping for more of an in depth video about how colorism and respectability politics plays a huge part in all the hate she gets

Jjjjj

I definitely feel this way about Jhene Aiko. Like I keep trying and it’s just not.. I just don’t care. And Kehlani. Demi… I love her music pre 2017 but I feel like every album is just.. I’m fighting my demons. Which is fine.. I guess.

Katorah Thomas

Net neutral: Billie Eilish, Prince, Lady Gaga post “ A star is born”, Frank Ocean, little mix pre and post disbandment, Lana, post Malone, SHABOOZIE, all of the K-pop groups members, Tori Kelly, Troye Sivan, Sam Smith, Ari Lenox, Halsey, Demi lovato, Coco Jones

Tyrone

how do you feel about dua lipa

Willyne Smith

YES thank you for pointing out the blackfishing too. They all want to be Tinashe. I always think of that one Blackpink song (which I kind of like otherwise) where she says "imma fall in love baby, you gon finna catch me" 😭😭😭😭😭

Elijah Ritch

THIS.

Lilac S.

I'm definitely meh on Paul Mescal. He's just kind of a non-factor for me

Whitney Jarrett

Harry could win me back if he found an identity

Bran

OMG yes lmao Ed Sheeran selling out!!! His first albums were so good and you can see he had a vision and purpose. SZA 😭 unfortunately, this is true. And it also pisses me off when singers could to further like Cardi B and SZA but they are doing things that should be above them like seeking validation or being on insta and tiktok like omggg. I KNEEWWW Harry Styles was going to lead this list. im nasty with you bc i also think he is a walking reference, he has die hard fans from rabid 1D era (i was a hardcore Zayn and Harry stan on tumblr) and im sorry but i cannot get over how that album stole AOTY from mother, get outta my faceeeee

Mai

YOU. WERE. THERE. 😭 Miss A was my fav girl group...then JYP titled their album "Independent Women Part 3," and I was like...oh God when does it end. Mamamoo was my last straw too. What a time.

Lilac S.

The "Thank You Next" era and her taking "My Hair" forever soured her for me, I can't lie. Well trained voice, but that's all I can give.

Lilac S.

She has said multiple times that she does not want to be/doesn't enjoy being famous so I think that explains a lot of her behavior

Charity Arrington

Tyla is literally Beyoncé reheated nachos

Grace

I don't mind Harry, but I'm tip-toeing on indifferent towards him ngl. His Kiwi era was great, but Harry's House did nothing for me. When his team tried giving him the Elton/David Bowie drip, I rolled my eyes because they missed the part where those men LEANED into their femininity. Their looks were like a second skin to them and they were FAB. Harry just looked clownish and uncomfortable (that purple boa pissed me off). If Mick Jagger at his big age is out-styling his "younger version," there's a problem. I'll check back in if they fire the stylist and they go back to the drawing board with the music though.

Lilac S.

SEATED!! I agree so heavily with your thoughts Sabrina!! Tate bores me to death. oooouu Zendaya in this list!! You are so right unfortunately, she is just not that good of an actress🙏🏾

Mai

Yoo, hello! I barely see any black 2nd gen Kpop fans out in the wild nowadays. I remember Before You Go had me in a chokehold back then. I also dipped because of the racism— I think Mamamoo was my last straw

Ian

I think bad bunny sounds better when he’s collaborating with another artist and the sound isn’t specifically reggaeton. I think his new album is great, because he’s pulling in from so many traditional Puerto Rican sounds, bands, and old school reggaeton beats. Same thing with some of his newer stage outfits. So, that pulled him from my neutral list to listening to him more frequently.

Alexandra March

As someone who was a black Kpop fan since DBSK...the racism is a verrryyy deep rabbit hole to the point where I had to save my mental and dip a few years ago. Black fishing/blaccents are just the surface and that says something. (Plus the performances without the camera work are very bland tbh).

Lilac S.

Me waiting for your opinions on FLO

Charity Arrington

The black fishing and appropriation be turning me off

Charity Arrington

His voice ain't all that imo

Charity Arrington

how do you feel about ariana?

CB

I’m surprised you didn’t say Tate McRae, I feel like she’s everybody’s net neutral these days. If I had a list Chappell, Olivia Rodriguo, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ciara, Summer Walker, anybody from 1D except miss Styles that I do dislike with a passion, BTS (the whole group), Frank Ocean,Usher, Ke$ha, Adele.

OneTwoTrees

I’m glad my people are here that’s the best song on the album🤷🏾‍♀️

Cynthia

Zayn hive😭how she feels about Harry is how I feel about Zayn. I was also in the streets during their height, and he didn’t get as much hype and attention, because of Islamophobia 🥴tough times to be a stan of his.

Cynthia

can i be honest? completely ambivalent on frank ocean. like genuinely no thoughts good or bad about his music.

J

Teyana Taylor. Love the looks but I don’t tune in beyond that

Shotta Khannn

Please release the full Cappell and Gaga thoughts

Danielle A

She does absolutely nothing for me in the Dune movies. Like you could replace her with any actress in that role and I wouldn’t bat an eye.

Keith Primas

LMAO why did u hate TSwizzie and CXC

Danielle A

The picture you used for Ed sheeran, JAIL 😭😭😭

JordanTLS

she's done it before i think!

Danielle A

Bad Bunny is probably my biggest net neutral. I’ve never downloaded a song of his onto my phone but he is very attractive and I am very gay so it evens out to neutral.

Keith Primas

NEEEEED THAT TOP POP SONGS OF ALL TIME VIDEO PLEASEEEEEE or even just top songs of all time for you

Danielle A

Also I LOVE your sweater!!! such cute 'merch' haha but really its so adorable

Danielle A

i thought chappell would be here! (im 30 min in so if she comes after...)

Danielle A

As a belieber don’t even get me started 😭😭 the industry must have really fucked with him

Tia

Tems. I like her she seems pleasant. Her voice is kinda annoying to me but it’s good. That is all.

Shady Tyrell

I can’t believe you were a harry girl. Zayn was so fine, I barely paid attention to the other members

Eiman

Ariana Grande. I think she’s extremely talented, but she’s just there for me. I could never figure her out with the many phases and accents she has used throughout the years. Never quite understood who she is as a person. She’s just…there.

Tiara

Tate McRae - I’m mixed about Tate McRae. I prefer stronger vocalists, and I prefer really good songs if they aren’t stronger vocalists. Similar to Sabrina, I appreciate the work ethic. Her new album does have great numbers, but the conversations around her aren’t favoring her. Art At Midnight and Camryn Suzanne made great videos about her. At the end of the day, better her as one of the next It Girls of Pop than Addison Rae. Both girls are suffering because of the constant Britney comparisons. I’ll probably crack and start listening to more of her music just to see if I’m missing anything. Zendaya - I love Zendaya, I think she’s so beautiful, but I don’t blame anyone for being indifferent. I learned about her through cultural osmosis as a kid because I didn’t watch any of her Disney projects. Her best moments are on the red carpet. I was indifferent to Challengers, I thought it was a solid 3/5, never felt motivated to watch it again. I would love to peer into the alternative timelines where she pursued music or modelling full time, would my opinions of her be different. She and Sabrina do have beautiful auras. Justin Beiber - He probably went through a lot of trauma as a child star that he is still processing. That might have motivated him to throw away his star potential. It’s sad that he might be the last major mainstream Pop Boy. We have guys that are trying to get up there (Lil Nas X, Troye Sivan) but they are older and have a different fan base.

jade smith

Zendaya can't act for shit, challengers sucked, plus her boyfriend Tom is on my shit list for not defending his co star from the racist comments during romeo and juliet. So since that's her man, its fuck them both...sorry!

TemTem

Actress but: Mikey Madison. She doesn’t read real to me, but I’m not interested enough to even care

Dani

I think that's exactly it! That's why I remember being so excited when I saw the trailers for Malcolm & Marie, but we all know how THAT turned out. But she needs to do more things in that vein, just good ones.

Comfortably Plump

I learned of Sabrina Carpenter from the Girl Meets World clips from Twitter. I learned more of her from the Driver’s License scandal. Skin was a terrible song, I was certain she’d never make it because it hadn’t happened for her yet. I didn’t understand you comparing her to Ariana until Nonsense started blowing up. I also understand the Ariana comparisons because she has really cultivated a strong physical image through her hair, makeup and fashion choices like Ariana. I loved her Christmas album, I loved her New Year’s Eve performance. I really like Short n’ Sweet. Interesting you talked about Taste, Taste is similar to Skin in terms of taking a villain role about how your brunette rival didn’t really win the boy, but the reason why both songs are interpreted so differently was that going against Camilla Cabello at her lowest was a much smarter move than going against Olivia Rodrigo at her strongest. Also, Sabrina’s public favor and perception had a really hard upswing in the time between those songs. On the positive side, Sabrina has a lot of effort. On the negative side, she has a lack of ease. She’s not struggling, it just doesn’t feel instinctive. If you ever see a dancer get criticism that people can see them doing 8 counts in their head, this is a similar idea. I like the work ethic, and Sabrina has been a top artist to listen to for me.

jade smith

2:11 in and we already made it a little about Beyoncé. Great video ahead 💛 Me af tho it’s easy when you always lowkey thinkin about her

Favour

For me Cardi be and Lizzo are on that island together which is a shame cause I used to like them both and I'm a Rumors truther.

Vic

Lol normani don't want to work

honeybee

Billie Eilish, tyler the creator, dua lipa

Armon Newsom

Taste slander??? They hit the Pentagon

Keith Primas

I feel this way about all Kpop. I think they're great performers but I can't get into the music at ALL. Their fans don't help either...

Elijah Ritch

Me but I’m think I’m mixing it up with a more positive “a” word

victoria

I remember when challengers came out last year someone tweeted the same exact criticism of zendaya and was dragged to hell. I feel Like she still very green which is crazy to say given how much of a household name she is.

ann

The Gracie Abrams is in the Tate McRae category

victoria

Zayn is the superior vocal in 1D but I agree that Harry’s charm had a lot to do with their huge success. Chloe’s solo music is meh but I saw her set at Coachella and her stage presence is great! I was actually really proud watching her. Halle and the constant back and forth with ddg has become annoying so I’ve had to let her go. Normani…. Sigh. I was really rooting for her but clearly the fans want it more for her than she does. The way she deals with promo is frustrating. She just drops the album and goes back into hiding. She acts like Beyonce but the difference is bey paid her dues for years and normani is just starting out. She needs to be put some work in.

Blank Page

I’m neutral on Ariana Grande, I appreciate that she’s one of the girls who can sing but her music has never taken me to a place so to speak

Eiman

Olivia Rodrigo. Love some songs (can't catch me now from hunger games soundtrack is so so good she needs to tap in to that sound!!) but I'm neutral for the most part. Not negative, will be here for her if she puts out something I like. I guess similar to how you feel about Sabrina actually.

Ray

We see each other. 😭

Lilac S.

i agree on the weeknd heavy…i loved starboy the album and wow what a moment the song was. unpopular opinion i also thought his super bowl was cute. but it’s very hard for me to want to get into what he’s doing these days i got the ick somewhere down the line

simone

I HEAVILY agree about the Starboy album. That was literally some of his best work and people paid it dust

TaNiyia

I say the same thing! My issue with Zendaya’s acting is mainly her voice. It’s very youthful and hasn’t aged along with her so cursing always sounds so unnatural. Malcolm & Marie made me painfully aware of this and I felt this way about her performance in Challengers. She takes mature roles that she isn’t ready for yet.

a.sierra

bryson tiller is a neutral to me, leaning more positive tho. i love trap soul kehlani was a previous positive to me but has turned negative in perception and music to me coco jones is someone who i like her as a person, she’s absolutely stunning but her music doesn’t really grip me at all

Meg

Dua Lipa is my neutral. I am open to checking future music out but I am very meh on her.

Phoebe Abdul

Kenya pls make a more in depth video about sexyy red and people’s (specially black ppl’s) way of addressing her

Jjjjj

of the main yt pop girls right now she's the best performer. but everything she does feels so technically good with little to no fluidity. She's a gorgeous lady tho but it's like she cooks and cooks and the plate is empty every time

Meg

I feel the same way about Zendaya's acting. However, her celebrity prowess?? Chefs kiss. The girl is a star. She has so much charisma.

Phoebe Abdul

I agree completely

Phoebe Abdul

Zendaya’s acting never gave. Great gowns, beautiful gowns.

Eiman

That Tate McRae jab hurt. I’m starting to like her a lot.

Gabriel Benton

I almost added miss pink wig and drake the butch queen but I realized that would be for the hater section lmao

aj◇

i've been tipping my toe back into selena gomez and the scene recently, it's just such fun music. my neutrals: olivia rodrigo, normani, katy perry, gaga

mari

I love Tate McRae. I’m rooting her.

Gabriel Benton

i feel the same way about tate mcrae but I cant lie her revolving door music video might gotten me idk...

g

Positive Neutral: Normani, CxH (as a duo), Tyla, Justin Bieber. These ppl just need a quick trim and a good era to get me stanning. Get in the fucking booth… Neutral: Tate McRae, Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Addison Rae, Shawn Mendes, The Weeknd, Benson Boone. These ppl could release the magnum opus of their career and I would never press play simply cause I don’t give af Negative Neutral: T Swizzle, Charlie XCX, Camila Cabello. These ppl I once hated but became a grown up and don’t care enough to even hate them anymore. But also none of these girls had a vocal lesson a day in their lives lol

aj◇

My current net neutrals: Cardi B Khalid The Weeknd Normani

Ty Padilla

I fear Kendrick Lamar would go on this list for me

Christina Scott

Same, it’s barely a stone throw away from the originals. I’m driven crazy every time I listen to his music because I sitting here like ‘I know I’ve heard this song before.’ Listen, the man got his start being an Elvis impersonator, and I don’t think he’s evolved past that.

Birdie Wolf

He was moving towards neutral for me for a bit (wasn’t a big fan of his last album) but he’s newest album is putting him back in my good graces

Ty Padilla

exactly!! la canción at the club!!! I'm singing and crying

Abbie Nuñez

Billie used to be neutral to me but I really enjoyed Happier Than Ever (album and song) so I’m more willing to listen to her music

Ty Padilla

she needs to do smaller films. i think she reads as uncomfortable in front of the camera. She needs to do 3 years of indie and learn what her skills are and then come back and lean into those. Her career started with BIG BUDGET which something her peers didnt have and thats why they are more natural.

kungfu

but my net neutrals are: Troye Sivan Shawn Mendes Partynextdoor Bryson Tiller

val

Chappell is a neutral for me. If her songs play in the radio I’ll listen but I haven’t gone out of my way to listen to her music

Ty Padilla

I know I feel that way too. She is her greatest obstacle unfortunately

Taylor Haynes

The way you feel about bad bunny… felt that😭 I have tried time and time again and I still don’t get it, maybe it’s all that shouting he does in his music. Stop all that shouting

val

i think he so lost as an artist and he just running through inspiration to decide his next era. what do we really know about him

kungfu

YES i couldnt agree more about sabrina 😭

Clarissa

SZA is extremely self conscious (her words not mine), and was more of a dancer/song writer, so I don't think she wants it either, I'm afraid. I've had to make peace with the fact that Ctrl SZA is gone tbh.

Lilac S.

and this has forced me to come out as "Shivers" truther

kungfu

i can see it. i feel like many think that about Bruno but i *get* bruno

kungfu

ouu Mercy one of best pop songs of past 10 years. let me speak

kungfu

I don't think Zendaya deserves to be classed with the likes of Saiorse Ronan or Florence Pugh, but I do think she's a solid actress. Euphoria is her at her best, but I want to see her in more strong performances honestly. It kinda feels like I keep waiting for her to really have that opportunity as an actress, but I'm realizing I've been waiting like ten years at this point

Comfortably Plump

i agree

kungfu

Madonna 4 minutes is why she should have been in top 3 of greatest pop stars of 21st century.

kungfu

TRULY cause she could have easily been in "Disney hasbeen purgatory" post Dancing with the Stars if it weren't for him.

Lilac S.

I love the rare occasion when I disagree with you, mix things up a lil.

Comfortably Plump

i was just about to say this!! he was always painfully boring but atleast the music was okay. and i think he has one of the better voices of the male pop boys (which isn’t saying too much) but like.. i can’t even get myself to care these days

Delshon Knolton

Bad Bunny will have me cryin in the club 😭

Sara

Imo, we will never get the pop music of before. Like Beyoncé’s (beyonces music will forever transcend; past Present and future music) and Britney Spears’ (Tate will never be the next Britney, everyone can drop that)older music is still so fresh to me, the production was/is good. Like the THRILL I get listening to them, I feel like I won’t get that back at all or for awhile. Like Madonna’s 4 minutes SO GOOD, Mariah Carey’s obsessed SO GOOD, like these women are just *chefs kiss* I will forever be stuck in this era of music

Lavender1495

HEAVY AGREE with the Zendaya take because the way they try to gaslight me but I'm standing on my post regardless. And it's *really* no hate because I agree that she seems like a great person! But even her Emmys made no sense to me—dare I say her counterparts outshined her fr. When she asked Fez for them drugs I was like...that baby sound like she ain't even been around advil. I watched Challengers for the first time last week to see if I'd be surprised and once again, I didn't get it. Her cursing never lands as natural to the ear, and when that lil girl called her Mommy and she gave "What's up," in response like a big sister, I was over it. Not to mention the limited facial expressions (i.e. "The Zendaya frown"). It's kinda like how Beyoncé's name supercedes her acting in a way cause her presence is so large. I feel this way with Zendaya, unfortunately. Again, she seems adorable as a person, and she's a stunning fashion girl, but a great actress? I'm not seeing it. I fear she just has major halo effect.

Lilac S.

as someone who watched Zendaya since Disney channel I just feel like she never left the Disney channel acting club, if that makes sense. I feel the same way it feels like I'm watching her act

tate mcrae was on my “will never see it for them” list until her most recent album dropped. is it amazing? no not really. but it was good enough for me to start caring atleast a little about her career. i’m not paying to see her in an arena bc i haven’t lost my mind COMPLETELY, but i do hum sports car and revolving door now and then

Delshon Knolton

Shawn Mendes

Jenna Jackson

I don’t think Sza wants that tbh. At least she doesn’t give the impression she wants world domination. If she gets serious it’s hers easily.

Birdie Wolf

I fear the way you feel about Harry Styles (and I still feel that way about him) is the way I feel about Bruno Mars. If I wanted a throwback R&B song, I would just listen to the original songs. I have nostalgia attachment to him, but I’m like at what point do you push the envelope. What can I give Bruno that he brought. He’s talented tho and he’ll put together a good song.

Eric

Justin was not built for this. I genuinely believed if he kept it up it would have probably killed him. The dude is holding on by a thread as we speak. Justin wanted to live, so he chose life. Now Kenya, you say Ed Sheeran still makes a couple good songs, and then didn’t bother to list any of the recent songs you think are good.

Birdie Wolf

I agree. Chappell Roan is big net neural, to me. Billie is net +1 because Birds of A Feather is just so lovely to me.

Beverly Burgess

I agree with your opinions on Harry Styles. I like some of the songs but there's definitely something that does not click for me between the persona and the music. I can't even imagine what adult Harry Styles' true lane would even look like. No idea what type of sound that would even be

M.O.

Tiera Kennedy is on this list for me but I am trying to like her. Like I am actively listening to her music. Kelsea ballerini is also there for me. Arya star has kinda moved there for me since it feels like she is copying what tyla is doing and before it felt like she had her own lane.

Alivia

I fear she may be somewhere far worse. i cant care for her

kungfu

THERE IT IS!

kungfu

chile all looks no music

kungfu

I feel you cause all 4 are are now on my Tate McCrae list

kungfu

we will be vindicated one day.

tanieah

THANK YOU!!!

kungfu

The 1D mania was fueled by their ability to be insanely charming and mildly chaotic which breathed life into their music and that was anchored by Harry. His acting though? Diabolical

Sara

My ambivalents are: Charli Xcx Troye Sivan Normani Nicki Minaj

Arturo Moroyoqui

This series definitely is giving Pop Purgatory

Taylor Haynes

As an R&B girlie, I’m so net neutral on Bryson Tiller like I see what he does but it’s just like meh. He has a song or two that will come out and I might like but I’m not hitting play on that album

Taylor Haynes

ooooo were gonna have to disagree on bad bunny 🫣

Abbie Nuñez

also final thoughts: latto might be my net neutral. very annoying personality 👎🏾not a good performer 👎🏾 the music eats from time to time tho 👍🏾 she's very gorgeous 👍🏾

I just want to give a specific shout out for Kenya’s wash & go

Alivia

Cardi has been the feature queen for almost a decade. The girls who blew up since 2020 shouldn’t be lapping in eps and albums. This is what happens when you search your name on the internet. Taking 20 spins to finally jump in on double dutch.

C

the nhl branding.. no.

beeg

!!! When i saw she had a son called calgary…. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT

beeg

I do. I want you to whack her

beeg

i actually believe he is evil like one day i will be proven right

kungfu

I think TDE needs to get it together because I can foresee Sza having the world, like I really think she can take it to the moon

Taylor Haynes

when people told me Z was great in Challengers i knew i was just never gonna get it cause aint no way

kungfu

2 step by Ed Sheeran is on my dancefloor playlist. What a good chorus.

Eboni Haynes

like he dont even dance no more. when he do work he is phoning it in

kungfu

I was so scared Normani was gonna be on this list and I would have to just sit with that!

Taylor Haynes

i also agree with your bieber take. the day he stopped giving us choreo was the beginning of him not giving a f*ck anymore

Nini

no bc we need to get into Chappell, she is MY net neutral, she can have fun over there while I look to the left

Taylor Haynes

often mistaken for indifferent but i think many misuse the word indifferent when they mean ambivalent. how you indifferent but got 7 opinions on them......

kungfu

Like GORGEOUS gowns…….

Taylor Haynes

i have the same thoughts about zendaya, and i feel bad bc i'm from the generation that grew up with shake it up and damn near worshipped her (i was a little too old for kc undercover but tuned in time to time). her filmography is not great and the music is dated af. also, i'm a challengers anti through and through. that was my final straw 😭

Nini

LMFAOO like sam mf levinson gave you your best role? ok!

tanieah

my opinion of her can all be summed up as...Canadian

kungfu

john legend cannot sing!! oh my gosh! the one song i can tolerate is green light

tanieah

I am so here for the actively hate celeb list

Alivia

like ion even care no mo

kungfu

lol fuck the gossip i very much so enjoy Billie and i fear u dont wanna know my chappell thoughts

kungfu

ooouu KENYA! “i feel about john legend how yall feel about ed sheeran” is too real 😂😂😂 something about john legend is OFF PUTTING and i’m not including the fact that his wife is who she is thats just another thing i also like ed sheeran. he gives me a perfectly fine vibe.. i could enjoy a nice chat with the lad!

tanieah

I feel so vindicated bc I said exactly what you said about Zendaya on Twitter and her stans tried to private quote rt me to hell! It’s really that Zendaya is fab that we try to give her things but she really isn’t an amazing actress, period point blank. And she can be good! What is it to say that a Sam Levinson project is her best work??

Taylor Haynes

I’m okay on Chappell roan and Billie

Obinna

Kenya: The next person who goes in here is Justin Bieber. Me: I would have dragged you REGARDLESS!

C

I have been saying the same shit about Justin Bieber!!!!! He could have had the world!!!! He was on the path!!

Abbie Nuñez

Zendaya’s career has been beautiful gowns. She owes her career to Law Roach.

C

How far Chloe has fallen with your graces omg

I have like just NOW because of this comment. https://youtu.be/oJhsh4lxfGM?si=ZPybFhZzw2_SO_8W

random i saw he ran a marathon in tokyo (i watch running content on insta)

crooks

Tate McRae… talk about an industry plant. I can’t stand her I’m sorry to be so negative but I can’t stand that lady. She’s trying so hard to be like a thing; by being like subtlety cunt and chic but the girl doesn’t move me in anyway.

diego

I saw Harry in the Thumbnail and clutched my pearls lol

Nooneomo

I hope I’m not the only one who had to look up the word “Ambivalent”😭

Nooneomo

I just know this one gonna be messy. Lemme take my seat

Charity Arrington

I agree. My boyfriend (he’s a big Sabrina fan) made me watch her little Christmas special on Netflix. Sabrina is really really funny and entertaining

diego

You haven’t seen her singing Freedom? lol

Birdie Wolf

I think it’s a good career break. He dropped an album on tour and got a lot of hate after the Grammys. He’ll come back

Arturo Moroyoqui

I think Jack Antonoff is a plague of a producer. I can hear when he has his fingers on the computer making the song (negative)

diego

Yess. Nonsense! Also I didn’t know Sabrina was on the Beyoncé train when lemonade came out

Alivia

I’m s.a.t. !

diego

Haven’t watched but funny you have Harry in the vid cover cause I was just questioning the other day like where tf he went why he hiding

Evette

HELL YEAH
