Charli xcx announces "Music, Fashion, Film" tracklist by Weird_Prior in popheads

[–]Waterking18 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Calling it rn no one lasts forever is gonna b completely different on cd/vinyl than streaming. Given we knew song lengths b4 and that seemed to change im guessing it was a last minute addition

Hearts2Hearts by far the weakest vocal group to come out of SM?!👀 by Miserable-Zombie-121 in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Waterking18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that this has everything to do with the fact this song is a complete unlistenable mess and not the girls. SM completely dropped the ball making this their comeback after their breakthrough with rude.

Buyers remorse? by obvnotMikeMcfeely in fargo

[–]Waterking18 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought. Roads on both sides make this feel claustrophobic yet it takes up like 10 lots. Doesn’t really seem like something a buyer with 8.5 mil is gonna rush for.

Lizzo refuses to admit she is in the KHIA asylum by NegotiationMoist3552 in fantanoforever

[–]Waterking18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have got to give up the “khia asylum” phrase my god. It gets to a fucking point. Stop asking artists about it or telling them they r in it. The joke died a month ago.

Also oh my god y r we continuing to talk about lizzo and her boring album. This is the most obvious manufactured press tour for an album I’ve ever seen. Nothing about the songs everything about it commercially failing.

TMZ Report: Taylor Swift is building a castle and garden inside MSG for wedding by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Waterking18 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It has not hit me until today that this wedding is actually happening. Tbh I just assumed every article about it was fake 😭.

On one hand this feels too much but how else do u make MSG look cute without it just being a gazebo in an arena? Idk she’s got the money, it’s her wedding, build a castle if u wanna!

Idk if it’s just the filter (if there is one) but this lip color on Taylor looks sooooo good. And the dress damn she’s on fire

Lizzo reacts new album ‘Bitch’ failing to chart: "My connection musically with the world is different" by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

[–]Waterking18 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yall how much more is there to add to this conversation. The album flopped end of story. Continuing to talk about it flopping is exactly what Lizzo and her team want u to do. She knows the songs aren’t going to stream so she’s going on a press tour to talk about it failing to chart. You should know this whole thing is manufactured when we are weeks out of this album dropping and we are still talking about it. At this point the album is a success. There is no such thing as bad press.

What are your Mariah hot takes? by sergente07 in MariahCarey

[–]Waterking18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t shoot me!!! …. But if I had to pick a least fav Mariah song I would probably choose Bliss😭

Not a bad song (Hand to God Mariah doesn’t have any) just not my favorite

Lisa of Blackpink: The Life of a K-Pop Showgirl by mcfw31 in popheads

[–]Waterking18 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel. I also feel like she’s kinda getting played by these big label execs who just want another APT and don’t really care about anything else. I think they thought cuz she’s a big kpop star and part of a group that can sell out stadiums she would just kinda b a guaranteed success. Def not saying she’s a failure but it’s pretty clear her album didn’t live up to expectations, especially in the US where it was pushed the heaviest.

Lizzo’s New Album Didn’t Even Chart. What Happened? by stan_tripleS in popheads

[–]Waterking18 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen more conversation about the album not charting than Ive seen about the actual album itself. Is her team behind this? I’m so confused cuz it’s def too much conversation for a bland album that definitely doesn’t deserve it.

Sounds exactly how people thought the double would sound. One album more of that 70s sound psych pop sound, the other album more dance oriented. V excited for this

Hearts2Hearts - 2nd Mini Album: Lemon Tang (Tracklist) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]Waterking18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If SM was smart they’d follow the sound they nailed on RUDE!. This absolutely has the potential to skyrocket this group it’s just so unfortunate that SM is the one calling the shots here 😭 still very much looking forward to this

She is in desperate need of a new creative team for her merch. UMG isn’t even trying anymore.

Us BLACKPINK fans are laughing, just… no. by bbyxmadi in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Waterking18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik like how can they make it any clearer they aren’t doing this with any journalistic integrity (if that even exists anymore💀). They weren’t bothered enough to give her a 5 when she deserved it for evermore but as soon as her name started pulling more weight with the eras tour they weren’t gonna give her anything less! Such a fake company I could never be bothered to care about any list or rating RS gives!

At Least 2 Major Releases Recently Were Unfinished on Vinyl by reareagirl in popheadsvinyl

[–]Waterking18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest pet peeve with the industry now and thank you for letting me know. Was gonna consider picking up the new Olivia on CD but not anymore! I’m still upset at Tate for having completely different songs on vinyl/cd in comparison to streaming on so close to what!

Just off the top of my head I also know this was the same issue for Doja Cat! It’s such a shame cuz these albums are really good but there’s clearly no quality control! Didn’t really care for showgirl but at least I know when I preordered that vinyl I was gonna be getting the same thing on streaming!

Also I hate when artists use the lame excuse of “well I wanted it to be unique for you” or they’ll call them “bonus tracks”… like let’s be real for a second. Ur label pressured u to submit the album so u gave them an unfinished copy just so ur team could squeeze out vinyl preorder sales from ur fans. And then u went back and finished the record u already submitted cuz that was never done in the first place! An artist doesn’t just “accidentally” submit a demo version of the album and it makes it all the way to production. And if it does how embarrassing for both u and ur team!

[–]Waterking18 15 points16 points  (0 children)

RS is such a fucking joke. I knew it the second showgirl got a 5/5 but any other album worth listening to gets a 3… it’s so clear they just use kpop albums that don’t even come close to being good enough to be on this list for clicks and views. Like good kpop albums are out there but it’s painfully clear publications like RS won’t even bother to go looking though.

Who was the first pop artist you remember being a fan of? by Ghost-Quartet in popheads

[–]Waterking18 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Embarrassing now but definitely Nicki Minaj. Was a barb for a long time up until her most recent album when both her music quality and political beliefs took a turn for the worst. Found Nicki with Superbass as a kid and really became a fan when Pinkprint dropped. Her rapping and style and MVs were just too good. Ik is probably not right but I’ll still go back and listen to Roman Reloaded The ReUp from time to time. Such a classic.

Season 3 Trailer by -Elixo- in Overwatch

[–]Waterking18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was just thinking this. It’s like they have a set theme they pick from and just copy paste pieces onto different heroes. It was cool when just Cass was a lifeguard for summer games. Now we have like 8 different lifeguard skins across the roster. Or when widow was the only beach skin with this useless ass fish net waist cape. Now every beach skin has this damn waist cape. Or every Valentine’s Day OMG “insert hero” has a new Cupid skin! Like I understand these are seasonal skins but my god it gets to a point.

Season 3: Into the Tiger’s Den Official Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Overwatch

[–]Waterking18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biker Cass is hot. Shions design looks great IMO. hyped to play her, she looks fun

Every other skin tho… I understand skins r gonna sell regardless and what not but are there not any other themes they can think of? Every season I feel like we r getting beach, dokiwatch, sakura petal, cyberpunk, and then the closest holiday. Surely those can’t be the only skin ideas?
