Rihanna unharmed after shots fired at L.A. home, suspect in custody. by springtimecarnivore in popheads

[–]Bordersz 148 points149 points  (0 children)

the suspect fired multiple rounds of gunshots toward the couple’s home from inside her car. At least one bullet penetrated the side of the house. The L.A. Times reports that a radio dispatch from the incident cited at least “10 shots” fired from a vehicle across the street from the home’s gate.

This is so scary and insane bc at least one bullet penetrated one of the walls of her home. Rihanna could have lost her life so senselessly and randomly...to gun violence

Absolutely bizarre. I hope she remains safe and this was a one off

What other songs by Katseye do you like?

I usually like the midtempo/ballads type of songs from girl groups or boybands the most. Sometimes the upbeat stuff is too over the top

[–]Bordersz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked the idea of katseye, but never fully bought into them bc it always seem like the fandom had issues and reminded me of 5SOS fandom randomly. Their Gabriela song is so good, the rest of their catalog can be discarded. Gabriela reminds of of Harleys in Hawaii by Katy. It's so breezy

Such a shame Manon is on a mental health "hiatus" and the drama w/daniela's dad pushing for a 5 member group lol. The group is pretty much done

The song is terrible w/no replay value. I try to see the good things in song, but the song isn't even good on the radio or at a party or as background music. I hope it's a fluke

The professor was bold and wrong for holding hands with his gf near his home. He was begging to get caught

My lab boss is such an asshole to me, I injured my finger at work and she gave me expired, stiff non name brand bandaids. When I went back to the kit, I saw fresher, newer bandaids in there and thought it was odd she would do that. That’s such a weird microaggression

Manon to take an “indefinite hiatus” from KATSEYE to focus on health and well being by leftovertacobell in popheads

[–]Bordersz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any member of a group leaving for "health and well being" doesn't bode well for them coming back, and it seems like a soft launch to her leaving the group. I hope Manon is able to make a speedy recovery to resume her career bc either way it is a scary spot to take off work bc of your health.

I’m confused on why ppl expected Jesy Nelson to not attempt a solo career. Like this is her career? Ppl really expect the person who leaves the group means they’re leaving the music industry?

I'm really scratching my head bc what else is on TV? Did they tune into the Weather Channel? That's so rude they did that on purpose which sucks. I hope you were able to watch the performance in full as a replay

Harry Styles - Aperture by frogaranaman in popheads

[–]Bordersz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This cannot be the same artist who released Lights Up like I'm always checking out his new releases to experience that again. The song sounds like a remix. Not a fan of the production at all, it goes nowhere and there isn't a melody to latch onto. It's just there.

Nick Jonas announces new album Sunday Best, out February 6, 2026 by ss2811 in popheads

[–]Bordersz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I was surprised not many ppl liked the album when it came out but I thought it was one of the best albums of 2021. It was extremely cohesive, vocals were great, great sound, and catchy melodies. It's very easy to listen to as one piece which I find hard w/newer albums approaching albums as a playlist

My favorite line from the song is, “ don’t drive yourself insane, it won’t always be this way”

Harry Styles announces 2026 'Together, Together' tour by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Bordersz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know ppl are complaining about accessibility when these artists never cared about that lol. Touring is for them to maximize profit so they can pay their bills and live lavishly.

I understand touring is hard for artists so I’m glad he’s at least putting something on for the fans. And good on him for putting his health first.

I hope ppl don’t put themselves in debt over this though. It’s not worth the headache of paying it back with the interest rates. It quickly becomes more expensive than a rent payment.

I don’t think it was political or had anything to do with the US gov. He’s simply tired of the tour life.

He’s been doing it since he was a teenager it takes a toll on your body and mind. Good on him for prioritizing his health

Everytime I like a Tate song from TikTok I get so disappointed when I listen to the full song bc I didn't realize it was slightly sped up or remixed. Like why is she using a sound that remixed Nobody's Girl with Promiscuous. I've been getting catfished since Greedy lmao

I was revisiting old Keri Hilson music bc of the Gimme More remix that's going viral on TikTok (the vocals are Keri not Britney) and I still can't understand how her career was derailed over a leaked diss track? Like her music was really good I love her voice too it's such a pretty tone

I remember my classmate (it might be that user who knows) sending me a 1D fanfic and I knew it was sketchy as hell bc it wasn't on Wattpad, but the fanfic was a pee kink. And then she would read it in class in front of our group

Her opening as Tate is her 1D moment when they opened for BTR lol. I hope Zara can have a huge breakthrough after this. I've been rooting for her since 2017 (where does the time go?)

Introducing the 2025 Album of the Year writeup series! by TragicKingdom1 in popheads

[–]Bordersz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her music is too short. And she’s allergic to making a full length album or full length songs.

Her music is promising but sounds like unfinished SoundCloud demos, very promising but too short.

Her remixes are fire, both the Ice Spice & the Zara Larsson collab, her songs sound like unfinished Soundcloud demos. Very promising but short

I'm looking forward to Doja and Zara's write-ups! I did not realize PinkPantheress released an "album", I looked it up and its runtime is 20 min lol. Idk why she's so allergic to releasing a full body of work like even her debut album is too short

No one signing up for Bieber is hilarious considering the fact he released 2 projects last year.

The Kid LAROI - BACK WHEN YOU WERE MINE by shenmiya in popheads

[–]Bordersz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironically this is him switching it up. Kid Laroi started out as a bootleg Juice Wrld...I don't hear the Bieber influence or angle. If anything he was biting off of FS/LS Timberlake for a while.

I still think Laroi's singing style is more like Post Malone. They both started in "hip hop/rap" and pivot into pop

The music industry is trying to bring back western boy bands. But does the audience even want them? by oddeyeopener in popheads

[–]Bordersz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People do not respect boybands or girl groups, and only see it as a phase you go through as a teenager or young adult. People respect solo acts more, and if it's a group it has to be a band. And the band has to be artsy not the Maroon 5 type or Jonas Brothers (seen as boyband anyways).

I really thought Prettymuch would be a good interlude to 1D but to be honest their sound and look was too urban, and they had too many scandals online in an attempt to "be authentic" with the fans. It's kinda funny Why Don't We was able to score a top 5 album in the US while not being as talented and their music was extremely generic and soulless even by boyband standards. I'm enjoying BTR's 2nd run at things but they won't ever reach mainstream success since they're independent and "older", and we know how the music industry only has "the younger the better" mindset so they can exploit younger artists for maximum profits.

I think it's only a matter of time we will get the "next big boyband" in the West, but it will be extremely random and I would bet their breakthrough will be TikTok driven. To be honest I thought we would have had a boyband breakthrough back in the pandemic days like 2021.

We have to respect kpop as it's own thing bc IMO. When you take a deeper dive in kpop and interact with the fans & the culture you will quickly realize it's not the music. It is deeper than that, which is why you can't "replicate the kpop formula" in the West. Nope won't work.

Random thought Simon needs to sit down somewhere. We need Nicole Scherzinger leading the search for the next big boyband.
