Beyonnaise Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Camila is a really bad writer. You can tell she thinks her lines about “tasting” someone and “demons” and “scars” are so deep but they just sound like dumb amateur Tumblr poetry. I think Katy’s problem is that her style just feels clunky now. She was good at writing very hooky, tongue-in-cheek songs in the 2000s (Hot N Cold, Waking Up in Vegas, I Do Not Hook Up), but she hasn’t figured out a compelling way to evolve from that. She’s objectively gotten worse at ballads, the ones on Witness and Smile have nothing on Thinking of You. Link to post Share on other sites

IAMDOM Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Taylor is an overwhelmingly overrated writer. Too many of her songs serve one melody choruses, her constant use of “you’re like a , we were like a,” schemes are used waaaayyyyyy too much. Overall, just extremely weak and bland melodies and lyrics as well Link to post Share on other sites
BadHabits Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think Folklore is pretty good but it's overrated and over-hyped. Her melodies are very simple and not complex imo. I feel like some of her melodies are re-used from previous albums. Link to post Share on other sites

jaceface Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I love her but Ariana Grande. She can sing circles around all the other pop girls but her recent lyrics are so juvenile Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, just extremely weak and bland melodies and lyrics as well It's called simile and metaphors... They are an extremely effective tool in poetry to evoke deep feelings. Most of the songs in evermore are in unusual time signatures so she possibly cannot do one note melodies like she used to do in 1989... She is constantly evolving... Maybe you should turn your critical eye towards your own fave who has been getting worser instead of coming for constantly evolving acclaimed songwriters...

Yeah I like off the table a lot. It's one of my faves off positions. I'm talking about the album as a whole tho. Not just that one song But I'm not taking away from her talent. She's a ridiculously talented singer but she's okay at songwriting Link to post Share on other sites

Digitalism Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Imagine comming for Taylor when she is one of the only ones with a recognizable writing style Adele is ok for a popstar Lana is probably the best ( of course she has some bad ones tho) Katy is too childish Gaga plays safe with ballads and with pop gets cringy Bey and Rih only write like one line in each song Link to post Share on other sites

What are y’all saying Taylor on? You could fault her for dancing or vocals (although I enjoy her voice) but writing is just not it. Not when her last two albums alone run circles around all the MPGs combined. Link to post Share on other sites
