It's a shame the video has had such a backlash, I think it's really well made and cute, even though I can understand some of the critiques. The part with Katy at the end genuinely made me emotional.
In terms of the song, it's far from her best, but I'm glad it's an improvement on 'Me!', even her fans seemed to turn on her for that one so I'm glad this one is a bit more palatable and less radio MOTR radio pandering. It's like a more enjoyable (actually good) version of 'Gorgeous' to me. |

Much prefer this to 'ME!'! "Second single better than the first" trend continues *.*

That video's a bit...misguided isn't it? I'm understanding the criticism, it's obvs a nice attempt with the best intentions, but she just can't help but turn it about herself. Look at the reaction and see how most of the focus is just on her and Katy Perry not "feuding" anymore and not the actual Pride message, they feel almost shoehorned in next to the references to her own detractors. The stereotyping of homophobic people as uneducated rednecks isn't good either, homophobia comes from a lot of places, some even running the country...
As for the song, it's OK, I much prefer it to ME, but feels difficult to judge outside it's context. Took me a while to place what the chorus sounds like, but I think I'm hearing this |

I don't get why the video is getting any hate tbh but once again people just love to moan. I think this is true. In a time when the LGBT community really need their allies, the malice is being directed at the wrong people. It's like some of these people with skewed priorities don't even know who the enemy are anymore. This post has been edited by Tawdry Hepburn: 19th June 2019, 10:35 AM |

I don't see any issue with the video?! And I usually hate that kind of thing!
The video has really made me love the song, so so much better than ME! |

Another great song & music video. Certainly better for me than 'Look What You Made Me Do'.

So only she and Madonna have had as many as six #2 hits in the US?

10 in midweeks, hopefully it makes it 2 weeks top 10!
#16 on spotify, was hoping for a bigger boost after it was moved up on HH + vertical vid added later on in the day. Hopefully it'll get a boost today with a full day impact haha |

I'm still stanning but I def prefer ME! I do too! I think the general consensus is the opposite but ME! was just much more exciting and interesting. They're both pretty basic pop songs and ME! definitely has the worst lyrics out of the two but ME!'s video and general melody are great. I find everything about YNTCD quite cheap, both the video and production (eek, i said it) This post has been edited by John-James: 6th July 2019, 11:14 AM |
