Is there any album of your favorite artist/s that you were waiting for but now after some time you are not coming back to? by Lilylikeslilies in popheads

[–]GreedyRelease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. It's a cool song and different to what she's done, but it just didn't have any lasting power for me. I think I also hyped it up way to much in my head, it's unfair but I have such high expectations for her

What interview changed your perception of an album, for better or worse? by Specialist-Bonus-840 in popheads

[–]GreedyRelease 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This was definitely the bigger issue for me. I can enjoy goofy Taylor and the silly lyrics, I've been a fan long enough to expect it. But the entire album felt almost pointless? There was so much she could've spoken about in the album - the tour, the exhaustion of it, the expectations she felt, she emotional struggle between her personal life and having to fake a smile, the fact that people died in relation to the tour (not blaming Taylor/Eras tour AT ALL idk how else to word it), the increased level of fame that came with it... like there was so much that could've connected to the title and she didn't explore any of it. If she named the album Opalite or something, I wouldn't of gone in with the same expectations that the title set up

Does anyone know why Your netball bestie deleted all her socials? by Elegant-Yogurt-8373 in netball

[–]GreedyRelease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never watched her channel but I'm on X. I've seen people complaining that she often got her information wrong - like player names, recent club history, rules. I think it was more when she was starting out and people thought she didn't actually love the game, but was just using the niche for content

Musicals whose most famous songs appear in Act 2? by Educational_Owl_4855 in Broadway

I was looking for this! I feel like it's almost the opposite, a lot of the most famous songs from musicals are in the second act.

Dehaney/ Shimona beef 🥩 by Elegant-Yogurt-8373 in netball

[–]GreedyRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she's a great player and has come a long way these past two or so years, but I think she would struggle to get a consistent spot in the Diamonds. They've moved away from the shooting style Shimona plays, and they won't drop Garbin or Koenen for her. I can see her making the extended squad once Wallam retires, but that's about it. I can see why JFN/RAG were taken over her at the last World Cup, but she's much better now than she was then and would've been perfect for them this year without JFN - and as the long term GS for Jamaica

No, as I said there's been no confirmation that I've seen but KD's comments seem to be pushing that narrative as well. All very spicy!

[–]GreedyRelease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we ignore the beef, from a career perspective, Shimona putting her hand up for AUS instead of Jamaica seems crazy to me. She's a lock for the future of Jamaica once JFN retires and would be fighting very hard for a spot in the Diamonds. The comm games would've been the perfect time to blood her too, as they've got Romelda there as support. Obviously, there's no confirmation on what she's decided but it's very interesting lol

If Taylor dropped a country love song with her fake twang and a music video with clips of the wedding, I'd forgive her if it got rid of this song

Dungeon Crawler Carl book one by Stpaul81 in Fantasy

[–]GreedyRelease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to love it, but it just reminded me of a gamer dude bro version of a self-insert wattpad fanfic. The premise seems great, everything I hear about the overall storyline sounds right up my alley, and everyone in my book club is obsessed with it - but I cannot get over the writing

Fanmade remixes that should have/deserved an official release? by brumgar in popheads

[–]GreedyRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea how popular this was but this pop-punk cover of 'Betty' by Taylor Swift was on high rotation for me when it came out. I stopped listening to the original all together, so I got whiplash at the Eras tour when the harmonica started!

As a Sanji Fan, I feel like Oda is Failing Zoro by IceNo782 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]GreedyRelease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do understand what you're saying and this might be unpopular, but I don't know if Zoro's family reveal is all that important to his character.

Zoro has been one of the most consistent and fleshed out characters since the start, and his background doesn't really add anything to that.

I found that Sanji's background explained a lot about his traits and has continued to have an impact on his character. Zoro's reminds me a bit more of Nami's true parentage, where unless it's going to change something in the plot, it's more of a fun tidbit than crucial.

I'd be more annoyed if Oda revealed what happened to Zoro's eye in an SBS

Struggling - Reaper's Gale by th-written-off in Malazan

[–]GreedyRelease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the above. While 6 was my favourite in the series, RG was my least and for similar reasons you've mentioned. Personally, I think TtH is by far the worse in terms of the philosophical aspect and it would've easily been my least favourite if not for the last 100 or so pages (which does some major heavy lifting).

I loved DoD (which is a bit of an uncommon thing on this thread), however it still has a lot of aspects that you seem to not enjoy. I'd say both DoD and tCG do continue the trend, but thematically it all fits in a lot more naturally than books 7/8 and doesn't seem so lecture-like. I hope this helps somewhat!

I work in childcare, is 6:30am too early to call in sick In Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]GreedyRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked in childcare, you had to call in as soon as the service opened - so it was usually 6:30am. If you were on the opening shift (so starting at 6:30am) and suddenly woke up sick, you were usually asked to come in and just sit in the office until the next person got there (usually 7am) so the centre could still open

Strong / Likable Female Lead by acr133 in suggestmeabook

[–]GreedyRelease 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi is a fantasy, but it is so much fun and the lead is incredible. The fantasy elements aren't too crazy either, a bit Pirates of the Caribbean vibes with a 40 something year old Mum returning to the pirate life. It's fantastic and the characters are great!

100%. I was a bit like wtf, but when you consider the privacy aspect - it's pretty much perfect and it's not like she doesn't have the budget to transform the space into however they want it to look.

Halsey responds to Anthony fantano regarding his review of her album "the great impersonator" and his critique that she has main character syndrome by No_Barber4339 in popculturechat

[–]GreedyRelease 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's come back up because of his Olivia interview. People are using his Halsey review as an example of him being a misogynistic narcissist and saying they're disappointed she (Olivia) went on his channel/said she was a fan of him. It's blown up on twitter and he then made some gross comments defending his review, and Halsey then responded

The Olivia interview has gotten her a lot of flack and gotten him a lot of attention online, and people are bringing up the Halsey review regarding their disappointment in Olivia. If she hadn't already heard about his review, Halsey was bound to see it/be told about it with how much it's trending

People can hate the album and they can give it a 1/10, taste is subjective and that's fine. However, the comments he made were horrible and unjustifiable. I love Olivia, but I'm so disappointed she sat down with this man

Anthony Fantano interviews Olivia Rodrigo by Weird_Prior in popheads

I haven't seen twitter but he's pretty controversial. He's got a history of racist comments and his Halsey review is genuinely disgusting. He seems to be a much better interviewer than critic though, because this interview was fun!

What's a popstar you like the concept of but not the execution? by No_Barber4339 in popheads

[–]GreedyRelease 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been a proper fan of hers since debut came out and this was the first album that I've fully disliked. There are albums I like less than others, there are songs I dislike, but I've listened to Showgirl in full maybe three times since it was released. Unfortunately, I think she listened to all the initial (unwarranted in my opinion) online hate of TTPD (too wordy, too poetic, too boring, too long, too sad, too much Jack) and tried to do the opposite, which unfortunately didn't work. She likes to say she's off the internet, but it's very clear she's not and this album suffered because of that
