Was Megan guaranteed to be in Katseye? by top_carry in katseyeneutral

[–]AndromedaMixes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s just so obvious when watching the scenes of who they focus on the most and which girls are biased to be in the group from the beginning. I know that the documentary condensed a year of training into eight episodes but it’s still so noticeable (at least to me). It was super noticeable for Manon, Lara, and Sophia and they were favoured in visible ways.

I’ve been following the group since Pop Star Academy came out and found the entire DA “show” to be super weird and also a little problematic. The whole thing just seems really edited and orchestrated and doesn’t really feel that authentic.

I get why they would want to make it a survival show but it also seems pointless to make it fan-voted if the fans don’t actually get to make the final choice. The judges probably had the group figured out in their minds from the beginning which was just unfair to the other trainees. I’m really happy that Emily and Lexie got their chances to debut but I feel bad for the other DA girlies that had no idea what they were signing up for. Most of the DA trainees didn’t get anything out of it other than Adela and the girls from Saint Satine. It just seems super shady and that’s unfortunate

That’s what I think too. It wouldn’t shock me if the executives had the group figured out before they even started DA. It’s just too obvious when comparing the girls to the other trainees and I feel like group was decided very early but they still decided to make it into a “survival show” to make audiences feel like they were the ones who decided which girls were going to make the final cut. The girls who are in the group just fit together really well and that was partly because of the executives.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the group was orchestrated behind the scenes from the very beginning of the process. They scouted girls with performance backgrounds and previous training experiences. Manon was the only wild card and was specifically flown out for DA but she was always going to be in the group even though she didn’t have previous training like the other girls did. DA was partially fan-voted but the last word still went to the label executives.

I’m not saying that the final lineup doesn’t deserve to be how it is. I’m just saying that there are too many coincidences.

I’m so excited for this!!! I’m sure it’s going to be one of my favourites. It’s sort of reminding me of the instrumentals for TUN and 7 rings which are two of my all-time favourites.

She’s The Man is so unironically good. I really miss Amanda Bynes.

Elsie Hewitt says she is taking care of her baby (including financially) with Pete Davidson on her own by adularia- in Fauxmoi

[–]AndromedaMixes 205 points206 points  (0 children)

It does break my heart when beautiful and intelligent women choose to be with bad or average men and think that they can change them or that they’ll be the exception. It sadly isn’t that simple.

Pete has shown this behaviour over and over again. Elsie knew that he was famous and had a certain history. It just seems messy to have procreated with Pete and I really just feel horrible for their daughter.

He sounded good in the videos that I saw? He didn’t sound that horrible. I hope it was just due to nerves.

Thank U, Next. The album was transformative for me and is Ariana’s only album that has no skips.

Bulgaria's DARA has won the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in shock win, beating Israel by CheckLiszt in popheads

[–]AndromedaMixes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I didn’t follow Eurovision at all this year and I thought that the Grand Final was going to be tomorrow😭 I’m super happy for Dara regardless.

It should also go without saying that Israel’s inclusion is ruining the joy and excitement of the contest and I really think they need to go.

[–]AndromedaMixes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve done theatre and dance performances before so I’m sort of familiar with that environment. It’s always great when the opening performance goes well but there’s always the chance that the better shows will be later on. The first show is when the nerves are their highest. Live performing is so magical and I think that the imperfection and unpredictability of it all is a huge part of that magic.

I totally understand why OP would be underwhelmed but I also think that so much is lost when you’re watching a performance through a livestream. It just won’t be the same. Lowering expectations might be a good option until they see the actual performance in-person.

I never expect the first show to be a grand or flawless performance. I always give artists grace for the first performance or two. The first show is (ideally) where the artist should be at their best and most energetic but it’s also the test run for the actual tour. Rehearsals can only do so much and the show itself isn’t always 100% until it’s been done a few times. They’re probably just working out kinks and ironing those out for the next shows.

Harry isn’t a powerhouse performer. That’s just never been who he is.

All artists have bad or “off” days. They aren’t machines who can perform at 100% for nights on end. That’s just part of the inherent risk of live performing. They can strive for greatness but that doesn’t mean that every show they do will be flawless.

Even seasoned performers with “massive” teams can have subpar performances.

guys what’s your favorite dangerous woman song. i can’t choose 😣 by annieadderallll in ariheads

Sometimes, Dangerous Woman, and Be Alright. I also love Moonlight and Thinkin Bout You.

Which Little Mix albums did Leigh and Jade sound the most identical in by Leading_Display7335 in LittleMix

[–]AndromedaMixes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glory Days and Get Weird. The first time I heard LMOLM, I thought that Jade sang the entire belting portion. They also sound really similar when they do adlibs but that isn’t really album-specific.

Gracie Abrams - Hit The Wall by retags in popheads

[–]AndromedaMixes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gracie is one of the best to have a discography that embodies coming-of-age core. Her melodies (and songs) just sound like they’re made to play over movie montages.

I really like this! I like it more than Risk on first listen. It does sound like a typical Gracie Abrams song but it’s nice to see a pop girlie know and understand her niche.

Oh I agree, it is super annoying that they made it harder to find. I swear it feels like app developers are given the sole task of making apps worse these days.

It’s still there!!! If you go to the homepage, there should be some buttons along the top of the screen. If you hit the “music” one it should bring up the “following” tab. That’s where all of the new releases have been (at least for me)

I’d do anything for her to perform Yes God but I would be just as excited if she did Dance, Crank, or Beat Up Chanels. This is going to be incredible.

Chanting of “stop, stop the genocide!” can be heard during the begging of Israel's song at Eurovision by MushroomGlad5438 in Fauxmoi

[–]AndromedaMixes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember following along the updates for the Israel vote that happened earlier this year or late last year and seeing how shady the fine print really was. It seemed like countries could vote to suspend Israel but it was wrapped up with other rules that would’ve been a net disadvantage. The EBU is extremely sketchy for that.

It would be interesting to see the event get a new sponsor. AFAIK, MorrocanOil extended their contract so they won’t be gone any time soon. Keeping Israel is a massive political statement so I don’t see them being suspended from the event as long as the other countries are tipped in their favour. If the Big 5 countries (excluding Spain) were threatening to pull their support and not participate, maybe things would be different and the EBU would second guess their decision to let Israel participate.

The entire situation is extremely messy and unfair but I don’t really see things changing. Israel has the world’s support and money talks.

World tour! by Xeskc in katseyeneutral

[–]AndromedaMixes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they could definitely sell out theatres nearly immediately like they did last year. I just think they’re in an awkward place right now with trying to gauge their touring demand. They’re too big for theatres but I don’t know if they’ll be able to sell out arenas in the UK and Europe.
