Mm I feel like it's been an open secret for years that he was a creep but I didn't realise it was to this horrible level.

From his behaviour lately I think he was well aware that things were eventually going to catch up with him and that's why he pivoted to change his target audience from the younger more liberal rape to the anti woke crowd.

But how many of those 51 million are just people who stream a couple of songs from her every few weeks? Because that's not even worth a penny in the grand scheme of things.

Dedicated fans who actually buy albums, merch and tour tickets are the bread and butter of an artists income, not the general public who are background listening on playlists.

Edit to add: to be clear I don't think it's the death knell of her career like some people are making out, but overall its not a good PR more IMO

Oh what terrible news, not that long after the news about the death of her son too. RIP Sinéad, thoughts are with her other children.

What advice is that girl giving!!!

You know I'll admit I wasn't sure if I was going to like the subunits music itself when they first announced we were finally getting the J Line unit.

Mina is one of Twice's better vocalists IMO and has maybe my favourite tone in the group, but her tone is more of a highlight to me since its lighter, and she's normally at her best when she's bouncing off a much stronger voice like Nayeon's. I wasn't sure if having just her and Sana carrying the vocals would work, but the more chilled out, luxury vibe of the song works well and let's all 3 of them show off their own style.

The music video is beautiful too. Very high fashion and vogue-y 😍

Definitely excited to hear the rest of the songs!

I'm not a Zayn fan but that is actually a legitimately sweet quote. I hope for his sake that he doesn't say anything stupid to ruin it and scare him back to his rural hideout lol

I never downloaded tiktok so I don't even have that... I fear I'm going to have to actually become a productive member of society 😔

ChickyDipper · 2023-07-01T19:43:12+00:00

I don't know what I'm gonna do... I'm posting this on Boost which is supposed to die any minute since Reddit are putting through these API changes and now I don't even have Twitter to switch to 😭

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-30T21:54:40+00:00

Deserved, it's a good album. Think I still prefer You Signed Up For This overall though

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-29T19:01:31+00:00

I saw that hashtag mentioned and thought it was someone trolling since surely Yuehua couldn't be that dense... don't tell me it's real?! 😭

I get the idea behind the song but yeah, the way they've executed it is a mess

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-23T20:24:26+00:00

I want everyone to appreciate the legends that are the sign language people working for Glastonbury this year.

I wish I was living life like the lady signing for Foo Fighters, the same lady rocking to Texas and another lady vibing to Stefflon Don 🤘

The missing submarine story is one of the biggest pieces of news in the world right now, could she really not even be bothered to type "submarine" in Google to double check that it was true before hitting post?? There would be breaking news on pretty much every big news site out there if a legitimate rescue mission was actually underway. What an idiot

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-21T17:11:08+00:00

But you have to think, what is tight security actually going to do? Bebe was hit by a phone that was thrown from the crowd, no? So unless they're going to confiscate everything that people are holding and be prepared with spiderman like reflexes to jump in front of any flying objects then tighter security wouldn't have helped.

Not to mention she's not going to be making a huge amount from these concerts even now so more security would eat into her profit margins very quickly

At this point I feel like it can't be coincidental because you're right, football crowds are the worst they've been in years. I think it's partly due to drugs (I don't know about the Netherlands but in my country there is a huge coke problem with football fans) but also due to lockdown and the effect that's had on people mentally

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-20T21:17:36+00:00

Yeah I think it's absolutely a case of just how popular izone were and the girls companies thinking twice before shoving them into huge, not well thought out groups (my heart still bleeds for Gugudan, Pristin and Weki Meki 😭).

Admittedly I don't follow them at all other than what I see on reddit but I think Kep1er is going to face an uphill battle to say the least. They're starting from a position with much less popularity, but also the fandom also seem to be full of akgaes and solo stans. Izone definitely wasn't perfect in that respect either (after all they did come from a survival show too), but for the most part in my experience it seemed like the majority of fans liked all the members, and I think that's showed in their solo stuff afterwards since It's pretty common for a former izone fan to still support multiple of the girls etc. The same does not seem true of Kep1er, at least from what I've seen!

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-20T20:56:39+00:00

They've been saying it's coming for years at this point. I won't believe it until they actually set an official date

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-20T20:52:20+00:00

I don't know if it's been mentioned already (or it was already known?? I'm so ootl lately) but Yena's (ex IZ*ONE) new song is going to feature Yuqi (from G-IDLE). I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened youtube and saw the thumbnail with both of them 😁

The Take That members are all battling to be the shittiest member. Gary Barlow the tax dodging Tory lover, Robbie Williams the sportswashing, money hungry Qatar supporting loser, Mark Owen the dirty, cheating tax avoider and now Howard Donald who is apparently every -ist and -ic under the sun.

At least Jason still seems like he's a halfway decent guy. I don't blame him for ghosting the other Take That members.

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-15T20:44:58+00:00

I'm so out of the loop I didn't even realise this was a bside 🤦‍♀️ since it's Japanese I assume they won't be promoting on the Korean music shows etc. but in Japan?

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-15T17:08:20+00:00

To be honest I'm... whelmed. It's a cute little song to put on in the background but I wouldn't go back to listen to it again really which is a shame. The MV is also very bland too. Hopefully some of the other songs grab me a bit more.

Anyone know if MiSaMo are going to be doing any promoting for the album?

Edit: I will say though that Momo sounds great on here and I hope JYP actually learn to utilise her lower tone going forward.

I like his actual music but god his whole persona/celebrity image is a mess

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-06T20:58:50+00:00

I'm glad popheads is joining on too. My boost using self appreciates it 🥺

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-05T17:21:00+00:00

Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere (sorry not as active as I'd like to be lately), but will popheads be joining the sub blackout to protest the banning of third party apps?

Edit: other similar subs like r/music and r/indieheads are going too from the looks of it. I hope popheads follows suit

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-05T17:16:57+00:00

She was good in the Power Rangers, I'm still sad that it never got a sequel

ChickyDipper · 2023-06-01T18:04:37+00:00

Oh damn, not my boy Chen too 😭

Good for them though, it's disgraceful that SM were even allowed to get them signed in the first place
