i dont know why – but i find lola young extremely uncanny, almost like a made up person

[nATAH 55,692]

why does it feel like whenever someone says "omg this is gunna be the NEXT SMASH!!" it just tanks

I'm not a fan of her at all. Her image is off-putting, she looks like she really is Messy™ (and smells)

[RAMROD 116,231]

Love to see it. Can't wait to hear more from her.

It's easy to bet your house when you have 16 of them. 😭

Remember when he said one of the RedOne tracks from 2014/2015 reminded him of Bad Romance. 

 

OT: I love Lola Young because she has mysoginists BOTHERED just like Meghan Trainor back in 2014 - 2016. She really deserves a lot of success.

It’s the Elton curse.

If THAT is the song....keep it

She will be the next main pop girl, bookmark me

I love her, hope it is very successful

I don't trust his taste in music anymore so him saying it's the biggest smash hit means nothing.

but I do think Lola is actually really great and has a phenomenal future ahead, no shade to her, I just hate when people hype up a song before it's released - they always end up being mediocre, similar to the hype around Dua's latest album which did not deliver to the hype that was raised. Anyways!

Didn't he criticize ARTPOP or something?
