unsolicited advise for the the pop gurls

Comments

I only listen to Taylor’s Version haha

Art Moroyoqui

I definitelyyyy think Chloe and halle need to be back together. I loved their music

Diedra

I didn’t even finish the video yet but I just think, if Drake would have just put out a cousin album like he always does with Beyoncé he would have got back in motion. But at this point he gotta hang it up. 😭 Where is his trap country album?

Kris

Omg yes I will defend Traumazine to the end!! You’re so right about people falling out of love with her music, that’s something that really upsets me because as you say she’s still consistently putting out good songs but it’s almost like not that many bother to really see that as much as before :( I think she def needs time to reevaluate the music that she’s making so that it’s more quality over quantity. Getting back to her roots in a way that still lets her evolve but also be true to herself

T.H.

Ooop you clocked Chappell Roan

Issa Smith

As a Taylor girlie, I listened to the Taylor Versions once when they come out and then certain songs and that’s it. Speak Now TV I do come back to most frequently than the others though. I feel like TVs are for her than for us. Id LOVEEE an original album but that’s wishful thinking atp 😭😭

Dani

I’d LOVEEE to see another full project with her and Aaron Dessen. Even if it’s not like Folklore/Evermore, the storytelling in both albums is amazing between them two!

Dani

Yes Meg enjoy the fruits of your labor

Candice Lofton

THANK YOUUU ive been saying Cardi remix of Wanna Be wasn’t it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Evette

Oversaturation is a great way to describe it. I love my girl down and I do think she has consistently released good music (I am a Traumazine truther) but I think she needs to work on culling a few songs - both Act 1 and 2 were a little too long and Act 1 especially had some things on it that we kinda should be past at this stage in her career. I think that is also why many people from her original fanbase seem to have lost touch. Misogyny is the biggest reason (Tory supporters, double standards for female rappers, etc). but also I know people who genuinely enjoyed her heavily back in the day but the newer music just doesn't click or they don't feel compelled to give her projects a thorough listen.

Mariah L.

Omg THANK YOU Kenya I HATEEE the Wanna Be remix and Spotify is always trying to sneak it in my rotation! Like dookie from a butt and I usually like Cardi on remixes.

Mariah L.

Thank you!!!! I'm such a Montero apologist but I haven't been able to rock with anything he's done since his debut album (which I really liked) - PLEASE let's abandon the troll persona and stop with the clickbait. It worked for its time but has overshadowed any talent or potential creativity we could be getting from him.

Mariah L.

Not done yet but 100% agree with Megan and Chloe x Halle! And ngl on the Chloe and Halle point I wanna see Halle train that voice a little bit more - this is no shade but I think her voice has slightly changed after the pregnancy and is not what is used to be - though still beautiful. In general I would like my girls to partner with something who can REALLY develop their talent further

Mariah L.

You hit the nail on the head with Megan. She is releasing an act 3 in 2025 so no break there but i really think a break is needed for at least a year. i think there's been a bit of an oversaturation, I for one cannot understand why Megan act 1 was EIGHTEEN songs long... and then 13 extra songs and then an act 3? it's just too much and I genuinely think a lot of the good gets lost in the mush.

T.H.

I think either rca or normani, really has like poor a&r and are very lackluster in gauging her audience. The fact that 1:59 ft gunna was chosen as a single and not something like big boi off her album was just so disappointing. AND SHE HAS YET TO GIVE ANY MUSIC VIDEOS. Which idc what anyone says normani thrives in a music video/performance setting.

loveme4me

I agree on Michelle not having better solo work compared to ingroup projects with destiny's child but KR had a solid edm era (lowkey she launched the edm era not Rihanna but she darkskin so you know how that goes) and motivation, kisses down low even tho i don't like this song but it was still a sleeper hit, how deep is your love, stole and her solo debut with Nelly that I've never liked but is a classic crowd pleaser, her song work especially the freemasons edit is fye. Like KR could have had a very respectable solid B tier popnb career if she had confidence and work ethic.

cybill

I hadn't even realized Cardi B hasn't released an album since Invasion of Privacy! That is crazy. And fans telling her she doesn't need to drop a new album and that she can still keep riding the Invasion of Privacy train is even crazier. That shit dropped on 2018 🤣 I love that album but that whole era for Cardi, like when she was pregnant in that white dress performing on SNL, feels like a distant memory. She's gotta do more than she's been doing (making a fool of herself online and being featured in songs/remixes).

Dani Swafford

Wasteland baby had HITS to me! I got through the first few songs on the new album and it was giving whispers in the Irish forest

anjelica j

I think hoizier working with Noah kahan and watching Noah take off I think he is trying to ride that wave

Alivia

The Chloe in pieces thesis should be a Patreon exclusive

Alivia

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE 💖🙏🏿💝

momo

I will always agree that Chloe and Halle are magic together more than they are apart. I get wanting to experiment solo, but it happened way too soon imo. People always say, "Let artists grow," but like...growth doesn't HAVE to entail a solo and growth doesn't HAVE to be in the spotlight. Growth can be away from TikTok, the VMAs, Instagram Live, etc. I feel like people are so used to having access to artists online or in media that they don't realize sometimes the best form of growth is an artist just being away from it all, living life, and putting it into their work. That said, I'm excited for CxH 3.

Lilac S.

I need a rock album from Bey too. There are just SO many possibilities, collaborations, and RECLAMATIONS with that kind of album. I don't care I don't care I don't care.

Lilac S.

chloe and halle announce in an interview recently they’re working on their new album. praise the lord.

Dymanni Lovell

Depending on this half-time show that’s when i’ll decide if Beyoncé can have the year off. I need to see she learned a few musicianship tricks and will use 2025 to be perfectly inspired by them. I mean guitar in hand on that stage! Don’t even think ab giving me a rock album and you can’t strum a melody!! A 100% worth it move imo bc Madonna learned for Music (2000) and gave us prob her most unique & eclectic album. One makes ambient country electronic pop work flawlessly by having that direct hand in the instrumentation. It also changes the landscape for live performance. That skill alone will raise the bar for Beyoncé 10-fold I Just Know It!!!

Favour

i love that drake was mentioned as a pop gurl😹

Rihab

REP TV is going to be the worst of them all cause the production of the original is already outdated & horrible. i also have a feeling that sabrina might go full on country for her next album, and i have to find her studio to shut that down immediately!!

Nini

Normani playing around😭

J Fizzle

I’m surprised Doja wasn’t mentioned….lol

Shanaaz

1989 TV was so bad, there was supposed to be a bunch of collabs and stuff on it but she scrapped it 😭

ceeitrus

In 2025 I need Taylor to get some new producers in the room, I love Jack Antonoff and what he does for other ppl but him and Taylor as collaborators has wore it’s welcome I fear, I need the new album to sound COMPLETELY different than the last four projects if that new album sound anything like Midnights and TTPD I’m retiring her as a client cus I can’t take it anymore

ceeitrus

Righttt???! They being stingy just like they mentor💀😭

J Fizzle

I need new Chloe x Halle album and I need them to tour the new album along with ungodly hour 😩

Nina Mosley

i need Taylor to a year (or 2) off & stop terrorizing me

Kenya Moore

I fear Megan won’t be taking this advice, but I agree she’s put out a lot recently

Vanessa Carlos

What about Normani 😭😭😭 she needs guidance too in the new year!

KM

Oh my gosh I can’t believe tomorrows the last day, this month went by so fast 😭

L

I don't think we're going to hear from Olivia until 2026 or Summer of next year since she just got off a world tour

Rants With Jordan

Ariana should’ve left max martin in 2014/2015… eternal sunshine was cute but she should’ve waited to release an album after wicked p2 and that’s my GIRL but this album was a here damn to her fans

Lavender1495

This look Kenya 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ the red with the cheetah 🙂‍↕️❤️

Lavender1495

I fear taylor is going to have to go to the woods again...

Dairus Wilson

You need to do your unsolicited advise for movie/tv stars!

Afro I.

idk about Sabrina, like although her first two projects were dull, singular act 1 & 2 were her at her best

Dairus Wilson

Oh Kenya I'm so sorry but I will be getting that rock album from Bey kdnsdkdsk I need 5 more Don't Hurt Yourself. But I do think even if it's rock it can still be rock/funk. If her Halloween outfits were a hint then it's definitely gonna be rock/funk. I think Rep tv will cause a lot more discourse when it comes to comparing the tv and the original than any other album. I know ppl who attended the Eras tour three times that STILL say, "but nothing can beat the Reputation tour." If she messes with the production it's a wrap

Diana

i wanted to hold space for 1989 taylor's version to be decent, but girl should have left that in the vault.

Montgomery Price

kenya needs to be some artists a&r ns

cj

Hey girlie!! 💓

Comfortably Plump

God, Wasteland Baby is a fucking masterpiece it’s so so so good and I can’t get into Unearth too much

Danielle A

Ariana 🌚

Kasey Kucera

Cardi and Nicki being birds of a feather is so real. It be the girls who beef the most that are actually the most alike. I feel like some people see themselves (i.e. they hate about themselves) in the other person and lash out because they're disgusted by what they see, rather than having grace. Both two women more talented/impressive than most men around them, but too traumatized and insecure to ever feel comfortable in their success. And also end up partnering the worst men. Like you always say, it's because they don't have grace for themselves and hate themselves. It's a shame too because a Cardi/Nicki friendship would gag the history books.

Davonte

Hey moot!!

Kayla Sanders

LIKE!! And she can do it better than anyone else 😫😫

Keith Primas

it's the way she's still one of my top played artists off of Heard It In a Past Life all by itself 🫣

Michaela Brown

She should’ve never touched Wildest Dreams omg

Keith Primas

I have some advice for Mr. Montero, aka Lil Nas X. Let's cut the gimmicks and hear you. You don't need to rip off other artists or be inspired by them. You're truly an anomaly that can produce a multitude of sounds and pull them off well. Damn well, can be the new generation queer Kanye. Introduce new sounds in the hip-hop genre. Queer sounds and aesthetics are so vast and using that instead of corny trolling moments can be so useful and fruitful in your career. For his single 'Light Again' during the second verse, he used sounds from ballroom chants and that was fun to listen to. I don't need hard rough and tough Nas who draws imagery from his cis het peers. You're not that and thank goodness. You're better(Yes I'm a yapper)

loveme4me

I don’t think they realized how great Ungodly Hour (song) was. No other pop/r&b girl has a song that sounds even close to that.

Keith Primas

maggie rogers needs to stop playing and get back into her alt pop bag!!

aiyonna

wasteland baby had several hits idk why it made no noise… movement, sunlight, would i that went viral on tik tok…

aiyonna

Taylor shoulda reuploaded Scooter Braun’s versions and lied to us because TV don’t hit the same unfortunately.

Keith Primas

The only dud of the Taylor’s versions is 1999, every other version was legitimately better than the originals

Trenton McCray

I’m a beyhive and a swiftie. I proudly say that I rarely listen to anything Taylor’s version. There’s no point, and most of the re-recordings do not sound that good. Her fetus voice was superior lol. Reputation TV and Debut can come out tomorrow, and i probably won’t care lol.

Tiara

I feel the same way about Hozier as I do Maggie Rogers: I do not like it when the songs get a little too quiet and/or slow.

Keith Primas

I think the Fearless Taylor's Version is beautiful. It set the bar so high and none of the other TVs have been able to touch it. I still listen to them all though just for the sake of convenience because I like playing the album with the vault tracks

Comfortably Plump

I want to add in the Chloe and Halle section that one of their singles and the title song 'ungodly hour' is produced by Disclosure. Ummm no other R&B girlies have producers who mainly do dance and pop records do that sound on their albums. Not summer, not Ella Mai, Kiana Lede, Queen Naija, or even Victoria Monet or Sza (she blurs the lines btw pop and RnB). hell, they have indie folk songs like Wonder What She Thinks of Me or alternative songs like ROYL or Tipsy on their records and you're telling me that in their work, they're putting out Safe Whisper very new age R&B? with their talent? GTFO

loveme4me

1989 Taylor’s version is GARBAGE

beeg

All the baddies and then the wanna be bad bitch Drake LOL. Looking foolish as ever

Jenny

Only song that I listen to from the Taylor's version is Red. I truly think she might drop both to get it over with and release something new in 26/27

Kayla Sanders

i don’t want vlogmas to endddd 😔

jaysa

what a gift. thank you 🙏🏽
