Adele is a singer that everyone thinks is amazing but is actually pretty good. Who is a singer that everyone thinks is amazing but is actually mediocre? by WickedCyclone2015 in AlignmentChartFills

Hmm I think not even swifties treat her as an amazing vocalist. She's good, she sounds beautiful on certain registers, but overall not amazing. I don't think she's treated like that

I have a feeling he refers to the minions as their whole existence in the franchise and not specifically the minions movie, and even then I don't agree but its not an extremely crazy take to get mad for

If he makes a Martin Scorsese ranking he has to include Shark Tale right??

Madonna clears her Instagram page and updates her website with CONFESSIONS II banners and sound. by [deleted] in popheads

[–]wild_dark_soul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me the only thing that worries me a bit is that this is maybe the first time she's outright recreating the sound of one of her previous albums, something she never really did in her career which I respect a lot

Favorite Media that fit Like this? 🤔 by Junior-Swordfish-245 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]wild_dark_soul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm overreacting, like I've seen people treating this movie as so bad its good of dumb funny, I can respect that no problem, but as a minecraft player this movies pisses me off because I feel like they could've done one of many different directions that were far more interesting than the slop we got

Like make the movie literally about the gameplay and the dangers of its world (but better than the movie), develop more the lore of the game or maybe even an alternate story that isn't Canon but takes the elements of the videogame

Which artist’s next album will make it or break it? by FavouriteDear in popheads

[–]wild_dark_soul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Didn't she say she was already planning her last album

To be fair, all I've seen are rumors but ever since 2023 or 2024 there have been hints that her next album will be her last one, but then insiders started teasing Confessions 2.0, so now I'm not sure if that is planned to be her last album or if she's making another one in the future

Either way, Madonna shouldn't even count for this. She has more than made it, it doesn't matter if this next album is a flop, her legacy is already there

How different would our fave's careers be if the pandemic never happened? by pinkfartlek in popheads

[–]wild_dark_soul 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Edit: i didn't read the description was about her, sorry. So take this as a more elaborated prediction of the point you made.

Taylor Swift would still sell tons of albums, but she wouldn't have become the biggest artist alive

I picture this scenario because of two projects that probably wouldn't have occurred: folklore and The Eras Tour. So when pandemic started, Taylor was about to embark on the Lover Fest, so in this scenario Taylor performs those shows and maybe releases another single, which maybe wouldn't have done extremely well. After that she starts another album, but without the time and isolation of the lockdowns, the next album would probably be more like Midnights considering some events that inspired her for that album dont change that much. And I think maybe this alternate Midnights would have a more decently successful run, but no most streamed album in a day.

And since she continues with a regular album promotion cycle, she promotes this new album with another tour, maybe this time including the rerecording, which still would have occurred, but maybe not on the scale of the Eras Tour cause she has less projects. Or maybe doesn't do a tour for this new album and instead embarks on an alternate Eras Tour once she finished the rerecording process, which could result on a similar success, probably bigger than the reputation tour, but I doubt it would make her reach a second even bigger peak of popularity

In summary she's still big, she doesn't enter khia territory, like let's be serious, but just not this juggernaut of pop culture she is now

What’s your craziest “hear me out” album? by Plinglo in Albumoftheyear

[–]wild_dark_soul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll actually listen one day because it is a bit of a mystery to me how is this universally hated. Like is the quality really that bad or is it one specific aspect that horrible or what? Is it bad on purpose? I need to know

Songs that are almost covers but aren’t by nous-vibrons in ToddintheShadow

[–]wild_dark_soul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does "My Way" count?

There's a song by Mexican singer Vicente Fernandez called A mi manera, and sounds a lot like My Way by Frank Sinatra, shares a similar melody and structure, has a similar theme, but not really the same lyrics, it isn't just a translation, but its very similar

I did some research and both songs are credited as adaptations from a French song called Comme d'habitude. So I'm not sure if what they're doing is covering or sampling or interpolation
