changing the color theme to white to minimize the difference from 10 years ago is crazy to me. It's like the narrative that now she's "healed" and "softer".
she genuinely looks so terrible she has completely lost any appeal she had. anybody who still looks up to her needs to quickly realize she is NOT normal and this is not ok to look like this in youre 30s.
She's just straight unoriginal she's copying Imogen heap with this idea she's not the first person to this.
she's such a "woe is me" insufferable person omg
why is she even on her tip toes like tat stand normally you're a grown ass woman!n
I've always found it weird even back then but i feel like she did it to prove to pete how mch she "loved" or respected him or to seem like a cool girl idk but it still erks me to this day. this relationship was so weird to watch happen in real time.

not to mention the obvious heavy bodychecking once AGAIN. i seriously dont know how she'll handle this tour i have a bad feeling abt this
The fact that he's married and has already has a newborn......ethan, you're finished.
I get that music has no race and anyone can make great art plenty of white artists have done solid R&B/soul over the decades but the tweet hits on something. like yes, music has no race at the end of the day anybody can make whatever they want and should. talent is talent. but when it comes to genres that literally came from black culture like r&b it do feel like black artists get slept on a lil bit while a white artist jumps in the same lane and everybody loses their mind calling them geniuses and versatile and “this is the new wave/they are unique”
i have been thinking about this a lot and i kind of have to agree with it to some degree. yes, music has no race and anybody should be able to make whatever they want. talent is talent. but when it comes to genres like r&b that originally came from black artists and black culture, it does feel like black artists get underappreciated. their music does not always blow up as fast or get the same level of mainstream praise.a black artist can release really strong r&b records for years, stay consistent, and still only get solid but not explosive recognition. then a white artist comes in with a similar sound same kind of vocals, melodies, production, emotion and suddenly everyone calls them versatile, groundbreaking, soulful, and the future of the genre. they get heavy media coverage, late night performances, big features, and people act like they invented singing with feeling.
it is the double standard that bothers me the exact same style and quality gets treated as normal or expected when a black artist does it, but refreshing and special when a white artist does it. r&b feels underappreciated in its original form sometimes the industry and audiences seem quicker to celebrate it when it is coming from a different face, even if the black artists built the foundation of the entire genre. i am not saying white artists should stop making r&b. that would be ridiculous. people should create whatever they like. but the way the praise and attention is handed out feels very uneven.
maybe it is marketing, radio appeal, or how labels push certain artists. maybe some of it really is subconscious bias like the tweet says. either way it is noticeable and it is frustrating if you pay attention to it. we should support the artists who have been doing this music authentically instead of only hyping up the crossover versions. music has no race but with the deep rooted history of rnb itself and the way it is received definitely seems to have a certain weight. what do you all think? have you noticed the same thing or am i overthinking it? especially people who listen to a lot of r&b like me.
like her acting has never been that special i still wonder how she got an oscar for wicked
the way she ALWAYS has to tense her neck instead of posing normally and also why is she so jittery like girl relax
wdym you hate them just simply because they're cool and social. she must have been a nightmare to be friends with cause omg
