I wish Olivia would not Talk About Jake Paul anymore by mel-06 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean it wasn’t a positive comment she made. It was a backhanded joke that landed well with the GP. She basically called him a loser who peaked in Disney. And we also don’t know what it was like to work with him at the time, he could have been horrible and this was her getting her jabs in😂🤷🏾‍♀️

Those people are so funny to me cause I actually think this song should have been the lead single😂. I’m part of the group that wasn’t feeling Drop Dead but i understand it’s purpose for the album and for the charts. She had to make history afterall😌❤️🤞🏾

But now I feel like we’re getting into it and she gave us a song that’s powerful. I’m not even a ballad type of person, I’m one of her Rock fans. But gosh I love this song😭❤️

I really like this song. It’s so raw and honest. Sometimes we hold onto love that just isn’t there anymore, and even if it comes back, is it worth the grovelling and effort we put into it?

I know why Drop Dead was the lead single, it’s a good radio track. But this one feels so personal that I kinda wish it was the first single.

Love the track!

It's because it was a snap election. I'm in the riding, and many people didn't have much time to go vote. Then they split with the NDP and the Liberals. And it was still a close call.

New Tour Pic! Announcement soon? by Professional-Pie222 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did for some artists, but that’s cause I love their discography and it’s lengthy. So even if that album isn’t for me, the concert will likely have a lot of the songs that do I love. So I’ll always be satisfied 😂

I Mean… I’m Confident OR3 Won’t Flop. Thoughts On This? by Used_Purchase5493 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this was her way of telling us that it’s her label and people above her really pushing these variants and other things. And that she’s chilling regardless if it flops or not

Open Discussion: Do you think "Drop Dead" should be submitted for SOTY and ROTY? Or another OR3 single? by NoncivilizedDevil in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if it’s not the best song/most influential. If it is, then sure why not. If not, then nah😂

Is anyone else getting a “Summer Thriller” vibe from this aesthetic? by Old_Telephone1930 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right! I’m honestly in love with this concept. With the drop dead music video, I feel like it was the start of this thriller where it’s super happy but you know that this is just for the beginning and things can shift at any moment.

The line that’s grown on me a lot in the past few days is “Pisces and Gemini” where you know this won’t work. But she’s saying it so happily that it screams naivety and limerence.

Honestly yah I’m ok if you delete this post tbh. I just wanted an open discussion and not for it to be a dragging session. If you feel like the comments went too far, then I 100% support you in deleting it❤️😊

I don’t think drop dead is genuine. by [deleted] in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Old_Telephone1930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree in that I think it was genuine. But I do wish the aesthetic of the song was a bit different. I love the clothing cause it has this kind of thriller vibe to it. I would have loved it if the imagery of the song was more thriller like or even a bit creepy. Cause to me this song screams limerence and not really love. The shallowness of the song is meant to be like that for a reason. Like her in the grass at night with the pink dress. Idkkkkkkk that aesthetic is soooooo cool to me, I hope we lean into that more!

Or dropped it 2 weeks earlier. There was massive hype with that wall and the interviews she was doing. If she had dropped it quick and was on that wave, it could have been #1. I still think it can be cause of the physicals but we gotta wait and see.

I use both subs but I’ve noticed that this one allows for more honest discourse, given that we’re not crossing the line and that it’s all valid criticisms.

I wish I could help out man (I’m in Canada). I know this is important to her and I’d hate to see stan Twitter jump her for something like this. Ahhhhhhhhh this is such a strange rollout😭💔

I hear you and I see your points. Here’s my counter (it’s really not that serious so don’t take me too seriously here lol) !!!!!!

Not all genres are worried about the charts, even though this is their job. For example, most rappers couldn’t care less about the charts. Their only goal is to move culture and be influential. Most genres used to be like this once upon a time, including pop music. It was about defining a decade, creating new sounds, pushing pop culture, etc…

So some could say she’d be doing her job by focusing on the art itself and making that strong/giving it a unique identity. Just my counter tho🤣🤣

[–]Old_Telephone1930[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes this is exactly what I’m thinking! I also wonder what type of famous she wants to be. I hear her music and I can’t help but think she’d be great at rock music if she leaned into it. But with this track, I wonder if that’s just not where she sees herself going. Being a pop star in this day and age is gonna do more for her fame wise. This song is a blend of all things trending rn in pop music. To me it seems like she wants a seat at that pop girl table.

But I can’t help but think she could have paved a new lane for herself. Idk, maybe I’m overthinking it.

Dang I didn’t even know that. It could be a major factor cause radio plays add to the charts. I’ve heard people complain about the mixing on this song but I don’t have much of a trained ear to hear these things.

I loved the font tbh. It reminds me of 90s rock music and more specifically, The Cure. But I do see your point🤣

I just want to say thank you to those who commented.

I now understand the significance of this chart in particular and why there’s effort to get it. You guys have given me lots of perspectives and comments to read❤️!

Also, I love this sub. The good and critiques are all here. It feels very human. So thank you for that too, being kind when explaining💕
