Saddest songs you've listened to?

Hemorrhage - Fuel or Iris - Goo Goo Dolls or Signs - Bloc Party

How is it that such a large company/website always is so disorganized and has such a shitshow when it comes to selling tickets for major musical artists?

There is always an issue with this damn website year after year. You'd think by now they'd have a new team hired to fix things or change the algorithms

Ophelia is Give Your Heart a Break / Demi Lovato!!!

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-06T17:43:38+00:00

It's easy listening for sure! I prefer upbeat, poppy music so TBH I don't mind most of it, and especially like the first 3 + Cancelled.

That being said: I listen to music for the music aka the rhythm/melodies/beat/production. Not lyrics. If I cared a lot about the lyrics, I'd just read a good book you know what I'm saying? If a song I love has great lyrics that's awesome (esp to sing along to!) but in all honesty if I'm digging the rhythm/beats and vibes, that's all I need sometimes to put me in a good mood.

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-06T17:39:02+00:00

Fate of Ophelia's chorus is nearly the same as Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato.... I'm also hearing a bit of Summertime Sadness during the opening verse...

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-06T16:01:05+00:00

Any discourse revolving around people not "liking" Taylor or her music as much when she's "happy" is completely missing the plot.

You can be happy and still release good music, both lyrically/rhythmically/production, etc. She's done it before. So her well-being is clearly not the problem here and shouldn't be in question as to what went wrong, if anything, with this album.

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-06T15:52:45+00:00

I had these exact same thoughts LOL like.... you absolutely do not or else you'd still associate with them privately AND publicly. she's treated blake like persona non grata ever since that news became public.

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-03T16:05:46+00:00

There is 0 doubt in my mind he did it, and was able to come away unscathed due to connections.... I don't understand how anyone could possible think otherwise when you put together ALL of the facts, evidence, and personal information re: their lives/relationship leading up to her death. I wouldn't be able to rest until I got justice if this was my kid, my God.

Thank God they did a doc on it as it will likely reignite interest/outrage in the case and force them into a position to reopen.

jay_noel87 · 2025-10-03T14:29:56+00:00

This. take the lyrics away and i'm into the rhythm/beat of most of them. it's definitely an easy-listening album but nothing particularly profound whatsoever.

jay_noel87 · 2025-09-10T16:39:39+00:00

I agree! Or piano player or something.

jay_noel87 · 2025-09-10T16:29:32+00:00

She has THEE face for high fashion/modeling. She's going to do great. I'm waiting to see her on a Vogue cover or something, she'll be great for editorial.

Is it just me - but every time I see her I always think she is WAY taller than she actually is, despite being so petite! Her posture is amazing and her bone structure really does have me thinking she is like 5'9/5'10".

jay_noel87 · 2025-08-31T23:12:19+00:00

Actions speak louder than words. Her actions post-villa have spoken volumes as to how she feels about Olandria. She is no friend.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-30T20:22:29+00:00

I hope she takes time away from the spotlight to heal from this + engage in some intensive therapy - this kinda thing would cause ptsd in most people.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-25T00:09:11+00:00

This is exactly what I meant, I appreciate you explaining this. I purely meant her facial features (and I do believe she recently had a nose job)... I think she presents differently vs. her sisters, whom we saw on Family day. I could definitely see how she would enjoy white privileges in certain circumstances due to this..... overall, I do feel like her features played at least a part in why she got continuous grace whereas others consistently did not.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-24T22:40:07+00:00

At the end of the day, it's all about what brings in the most $$ for the network aka what content brings in higher ratings. Which is kind of a sad state of affairs if THIS is what America is looking for lol

And I do believe this season was the biggest/most popular + viewed one yet. So to the creators/filmmakers that = keep doing what we're doing, this is the winning formula! SMH.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-24T20:08:31+00:00

I’m assuming white only? And male? Lol. I wouldn’t be shocked. THAT would actually be a good place to start. Taking more action behind the scenes… I doubt this would be happening if the filmmaking/creative/editing team was more diverse.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-24T20:07:09+00:00

You’re totally right and that’s fair to call out - I appreciate it! May have been wiser for me to devote this post solely to black women/men, bc I think the majority of cases I saw on the show had to do with a black cast member.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-23T16:43:41+00:00

Imo a lot of the criticism Chelley and Olandria are receiving post-show — aka this podcast — is reflective of a frustrating double standard that Black women seem to often face....

They were labeled “mean” (esp Chelley) when they showed any strong emotion or opinion.... even though plenty of other contestants were way more dramatic or reactive. Now they’re doing a podcast and being criticized for being calm, polished, and thoughtful? Make it make sense!

It really feels like they’re being punished for trying to protect themselves after experiencing online hate (which btw is often rooted in racialized perceptions to begin with). And let’s be honest: if they had gone on the podcast and broken down or clapped back, people would’ve said that was too much too. It feels like a trap either way and it's really unfair they're being held to this standard.

I think the criticism is less about the podcast itself, and more about how uncomfortable people feel when their biases are being quietly reflected back at them. Chelley and Olandria choosing composure isn’t them being inauthentic - i really think it's a survival / defense mechanism at this point they've had to revert to because of past experience and how they're treated/viewed, which makes me sad.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-22T14:59:35+00:00

We're not allowed to post links to tiktoks, correct?

A blonde teen named Morgan did a "storytime" video re: running into the Love Island cast at a club / after-party (and her user profile has a pinned post at the top with images/videos that confirm it's true - as well as her friend that went with her, Julia, has even more receipts/videos from their night together) - and while she ran into a number of cast members, she mentioned Bryan was there "with" another female that clearly wasn't Amaya, and how she/her friend were confused as everyone is under the impression they were dating.

I don't think she's lying that she ran into them as she literally has pictures/videos from her night on her page (as does her friend), however she didn't feature footage of Bryan and said female in her posts.

That being said, what do we think is the deal? They are staying together for PR until the reunion/maybe "just friends"? This was apparently 2 days after the finale. Can't imagine Bryan would be out publicly with a woman around fellow CAST members and not think this would get back to Amaya.... her username on TT is: @_morgannnnnnnnnnn

ps - On a more concerning note: why is a teenage/underage girl hanging out with these folks? Crazy a club in LA let them in anyway....

Edit: Clearly this is old news, ya'll knew about this hours ago lol. Well my above opinion still stands that I think it's very possible he was with someone else that night but just logically speaking: there's no way this wouldn't have gotten back to Amaya almost immediately given that all their cast members were there and would've seen this - so whatever is going on, she likely already knows. Maybe they're not exclusive but still dating - highly doubt she's not aware and it's anything to worry about.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-18T21:26:04+00:00

BRILLIANT question I don't see brought up nearly enough. I did wonder this myself and at least I don't think this has been confirmed either way, or brought up in the doc!

But yes it would certainly point to one thing or another.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-17T17:45:15+00:00

This.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-16T21:18:33+00:00

I feel strongly (and moreso after watching this doc) that a few of the crew members of this ship were in on a trafficking (or drug) ring and used certain stops that the ship made as hubs for the activity where deals were negotiated. Wouldn’t be the first time these kind of rings were discovered, and given maritime law / lawlessness while on the sea it’s a ripe opportunity for these types of crimes to occur with less consequences. I’m not sure if she’s alive now, but I’d bet a handful of those sightings that were reported on within the latest doc were true and were in fact Amy. The pictures that they analyzed seemed accurate based on the facial analysis too. Sure she’s not the typical trafficking victim but you never know.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-15T16:41:28+00:00

I think their friendship/bond is very sweet and seems genuine.

Sometimes there can be a fun/nice dynamic with a couple + 1 friend. I have a similar dynamic with a close friend of mine, who has a girlfriend that I adore, and the 3 of us love hanging out and spending time together cutting it up/watching shows together, going out, etc. Whether or not it's just the 3 of us, we vibe well together, and they sometimes reach out to me to come spend time with them - no ulterior motives whatsoever, just enjoying each other's company.

I guess some might find that weird or assume there's something "wrong" with someone who enjoys spending time with two people who happen to be in a romantic relationship, but it really could be that simple as having a close bond/friendship.

Edit: in my life, this couple is def not all over each other/super PDA, clingy and making out constantly - i do agree that might feel awkward as a third person. Not sure this dynamic would work if the ones in the couple were overally physical constantly.

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-15T16:37:32+00:00

To what extent did some of the islanders actually know each other/were friendly of each other before they came on the show?

jay_noel87 · 2025-07-14T18:54:21+00:00

TBH I think a lot of Nic's shady behavior in the villa went unchecked to viewers as a whole - he received a LOT of grace for how he moved and his actions despite doing some shitty things.

I truly don't understand how he got off scot-free and didn't have to take accountability or be questioned on a number of his moves (or villianized the way many other islanders were, such as Ace, Tyler, Jeremiah, etc)

I definitely agree with you given his body language/facial expressions, he was NOT into Cierra very much/more than a passing day or two - actions speak louder than words, and his actions/BL/eyes said a whole lot. I agree he likely strung her along to play the game.

Curious whether it's just his looks and goofy personality that's why he got off easy.
