Guest Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 As much as I want to believe the delay is a result of COVID-19, let's be real...this is a matter of profitability and ratings. No need for all the extra. Love ya, sis, but time and time again, the queen of hype and let down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellyprinc3 18 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is such a crazy time and if this pandemic gets to the point that some are expecting thats 10s of thousand people dying, I would hate for a little monster somewhere to die without hearing this album. I hope everyone is safe but this breaks my hearts 💔💔. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How self centered would it be to be like “hey world, i know we’re all in a pandemic but listen to my album about my problems!” it’s sad that it had to come down to this but i respect her decision. We’ve waited long enough, i can wait a little more Not shallow like that, people are getting irritated because she used the Kindness as her promoting scheme then pretty much went back on what she stands for and delay the album.

IndyMelissa 272 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Totally understand!! Disappointed as im sure my Enigma date will get canceled (May 13 date). Have Chromatica Ball Tickets for Chicago. A release seemed like the ONLY solid thing happening because it doesn't involve people!! Spoiler I LIVE FOR THE APPLAUSE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which supports it being a matter of profitability and not a concern for public health. The latter just provides a convenient excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,240 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Her statement was just...a mess. The mercury energy jumped out (for those not into astrology, mercury in the 10th house of communication = Cher's twitter). I had to SMH @ the mention of "Kindness Punks." I can see why she might have found it difficult to spin this. The printing presses being shut down and amazon not shipping non-essential items would have been a good succint explanation, but then how do you mention these things and not sound like a mouth piece for a corporation (even if that corporation is herself). She's hippie-ish and flighty, so I'm not surprised she typed what she typed. I do hope she does something big, like donating supplies or money to her local hospitals because she has the means, and because, to quote Mr. Green from the 1985 classic Clue, "someone has to do something" She said she was looking for solutions, she better put her money where her mouth is or she'll just look stupid. That said, I'm disgusted at the responses she's getting from twitter/ATRL, and even usually reasonable sites like PJ. They're all messy too and range from "she's not important enough to distract from Corona" and "Give us the music now flop (who is scared to flop)!" Or inserting something about Dua and doing that sexist stan thing because these people will simply never turn down the chance put a woman against other woman, even while living in times like these. It's trash responses all around. Plus, I just can't relate to people getting mad about this at all. I have other important things to worry about (I have a asthmatic loved one in the hospital, and my sister (who is diabetic) is really sick and has a cough she can't get rid of, and its unlikely they'll be tested for Covid-19 because this country can't handle sh-t and is too worried about getting tests for politicans and basketball players). I'm just...tired. The drama over this is dumb. The people getting passionately angry over a delayed album annoy me the same way healthy people on social media acting like quarantine life with their pets and family in their nice homes is just the worst. Entitled and annoying AF. (obviously not talking about people with no financial security or bad home situations) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusBones 3,343 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I would've preferred her to announce this in the form of an IG live or a video post. This is so impersonal, I think that's why I was mostly irritated with her this morning. But eh, what's done is done. I got over it (for the most part) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I would say she focus on her sales and profits not true kindness, people from previous thread stated out that's UMG's decision not hers. That did not help the situation get better because before she always claimed the cause is for her fan and, the community and kindness but now they just make her look like an industry puppet. How can an album about kindness not appropriate to be released in this vain time? Maybe it's just not about kindness after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteonster 500 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Please guys just let others be sad and disappointed about it. Labelling them as selfish and negative doesn’t lead anywhere, in fact it can result in a bigger frustration. Of course if someone has a hurtful attitude, let them know but also let other people express how devastated they feel - it’s completely natural now. Let this be a time when we say to each other: that’s alright, I’m listening, tell me how you feel. It’s gonna be ok, we’re in this thing together, we have each other. In case you are feeling kinda good about this situation, it’s a perfect time for you to help those who don’t “Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She SELLS and GIVES us stuff. I think people have seriously lost sight of what this fanbase set out to be. You offered a very compassionate POV, but how many people here have been compassionate even BEFORE this announcement? It's not about the music for people anymore. People care more for an abstract "era" and the number of Spotify plays lol. I think you're really kind to try and understand people, but at the same time nothing is worse than entitlement. I think some of these people needed to be reminded of that, and the album postponment did that 🤷♀️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
