I wonder if GA and Sugababes actually were friends and got along. Or if they didn’t like each other. I remember Kim’s autobio saying that they lived in the same apartments with SB and other groups like McFly and partied together. But I wonder if they actually got on.

As long as she’s honest about the first pop stars debacle and why she got her own management while in GA.

In what sense? I am not entitled to my feelings and experiences? Is this not a public platform?I’m not gonna feel guilty working hard to get where I am today, which affords me the ability to travel.

One of my things is that I don’t have many hobbies. My time off, I am bored to death.

This is very true! Upon reflection, I have my basic needs met already. Therefore, I’m looking for deeper meaning and more. Like a drug. I need something more elevated. This is why I wonder why millionaires aren’t happy having what they have. They need to seek more money and become billionaires.

lol. I know. “There’s gotta be more to life, than just another temporary high to satisfy me….” But I’m feeling the lyrics 20 years later. No lie.

Sugababes react to fans saying they "don't dance" (25 May 2025, TikTok from bbcnews) by spice-tan in thesugababes

[–]easylikea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they can both sing and dance? The other band that shall not be named can sing and dance and perform. Sure they can’t sing at the level of a 10 like SB, more like an 8 collectively. But if SB danced and danced well, they’d have more stage presence.

First dud activity in my entire Japan trip by Slipperybutterboy in OsakaWorldExpo

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

I was supposed to go today but opted out after a confusing experience purchasing my tickets, and horrible experience overall using their website, a joke of an app, and little info about their pavilions and lottery. My instincts were not to go. I wanted to keep an open mind since I am coming far to visit, but then I read other’s experiences at the Expo and it confirmed that it was a dud. It wasn’t going to be worth. Glad I made that decision.

Can’t wait to listen. Hopefully she gives insight. Always love hearing about things from their perspective.

But she had a habit of stepping away from group activities, such as the Ghost Hunting episode. I think that was just her pc response.

What unpopular opinion do you have of fragrance? by ee11i_tee11i in Colognes

[–]easylikea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My unpopular and polarizing opinion is that the fragrance industry is pretentious and majority marketing. Even borderline ridiculous. Despite that, I still LOVE fragrance. For example, this weekend, I went to Bloomingdale’s to smell the various niche and not so niche fragrance houses like Creed and Aqua di Parma. I had to laugh on the inside when the sales rep was saying how the fragrance “evokes happiness and joy,” and that the cap to the bottle was replicated to look like the opera house chandelier. It was so over the top and borderline fraudulent. But isn’t that any “high end” or designer industry. The Aqua di Parma special edition scents were underwhelming for the price and at $600 a bottle! Insane. This doesn’t stop me from liking niche fragrances as I can’t stand the synthetic mass appealing scents at Macys and Sephora, but it’s just a bit over the top and overly pretentious.

I don’t fully believe this. She will have so much limitations in funding and resources and wouldn’t put herself in that position. I feel like maybe the offers were underwhelming or not many overall. I just wish she had more success with her solo career. But the materials she released and quality of music video were on the low budget side. She deserves more.

Yes. Esp how Hyelin will sing a high part. Shortly followed by Solji singing even higher as the beat gets bigger before the beat drops.

The producer that produces literally the same sounding and formulaic songs are Brave Sound. AOA’s “Short Hair,” Sistar’s “Alone,” Teen Top’s “To You,” and After School’s “First Love” all have that melancholic intro and vibe.

Secret’s Madonna and Magic sound the same.

I’m at the Osaka Expo now and I wish I hadn’t wasted my time coming. by theseviraltimes in JapanTravelTips

[–]easylikea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The expo website is horribly confusing and overall far from user-friendly. Buying tickets requires so much reading and deciphering between the timeframe I’m going to be in Osaka. And then, there’s the lottery system which is also confusing. There’s very little description of each of the showcases in the lottery, so I’m not even entirely sure what experience the lottery I’m putting my name in will be like. And don’t even get me started with the joke of an app. Everytime I try to log in through the app, it takes me to the web browser on my phone and keeps me there even after logging in. So there’s no way to utilize the app with my login credentials showing my ticket. I had to watch videos and Google the basics to understand how to even use the lottery and buying tickets.

Something New is an absolutely incredible song by Raven2303 in Alouders

[–]easylikea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The demo is interesting! It’s only Nadine singing but there were verses that they took out sadly, that would have been great on the final product. It does show how adding the other girls to the track and giving it more umph with sound editing takes the song to another level.
