She needs to change artistically... asap.

The baby lolita act is cute but after a certain time it does get boring. Waiting for her to expose her real potential.

She is still on the era of her first album so no til the era ends she is not going to change..

Her music so far is the definition of good story telling and cohesiveness, which is good to a fault for some people.

A lot of people want to dismiss her as a "tumblr darling" just because shes a fan of Lana Del Rey and Marina and the Diamonds and what not even though she sounds nothing like them thematically, vocally, lyrically OR sonically :rip:  People who don't like her are pressed by her tbh, just like they are by anyone who gets remotely popular and isn't a traditional pop girl :laughga: I can't imagine what the threads and discussion around Lana Del Rey were like when she first came out with Video Games and was highly commended for it :air: The bitterness I imagine.

Her music is a bit same-y thematically but that was the idea with Cry Baby, and I really actually like the entire project of approaching and tackling contemporary childhood ideals, stories, etc. and juxtaposing them with the realities of adulthood. It's not a new idea, but it was well done imo and her visuals are usually pretty on point too. Also she manages to make good hooks and melodies that are different from track to track. The production is also to me a good combination of twinkly childhood toys and dark beats :emma: In summary, her music is polished and well thought out. Also, she uses what vocal talent she does have to good use. It only took Selena 3 albums to get to that point :rip: 

I will say that ha music video budget is clearly running out though; the salmon pink wall background needs to die now, Alphabet Boy is the weakest video because of it :rip: And she needs to learn how to emote in music videos better.

lmao, you have to pressed to not like an artist? I guess I'm pressed because I don't like kids bop then :madge:

Never directly said that :poot: It's just a popular reaction for people to not only completely dismiss an artist they don't like (which is fine) but to go to great depths to try discredit them; that is my definition of pressed; synonymous with bothered. I don't see you making threads about how absolutely terrible Kidz Bop is or anything, so I think you're good :sis:

She's not :emma: 

To me her music feels inauthentic, it's as if she's trying to seem edgy or troubled but it just comes off as really corny :air: I get the same vibe from Halsey. Also the baby theme is just weird and lame imo, I don't see why people would think its cool or interesting :huh:

I like some songs but I don't like her as a person. Also, while its clever, her baby aesthetic kinda creeps me out.

Loved the Dollhouse EP but hated Cry Baby. It's such a boring album and all the non-needed swearing is such a turn off.

hop on that **** like a maniac

The only good song from her is Pityparty...the rest is so generic it hurts my ears - i don't get what people see in her...

Her music is amazing, but her attitude is a turn off for me. :firega:

Stressed, depressed, but well dressed.
