    State of Grace.

    It wasn't a smash It wasn't a smash It was a perfect ILLUSION  

  • I hate Sabrina Carpenter. Like you guys have no idea how much I hate her. I think she is stupid, ugly, uncultured and shouldn't exist. I thought about making hate threads about her. And yet this hussy

Sabrina's been licking Taylor's ass for a while, so not surprised :coffee2:

Babygirl... Dua also debuted 10 years ago :rip:

Yeah and that's also point, they all started singing career in 2015, Sabrina has 5 albums and Dua is only about to release 3rd.

 

Difference is Sabrina doesn't have any worldwide hit so far so there shouldn't be no comparison, Dua is different level when it comes to worldwide status.

 

And I don't mean this in a bad way, Espresso is cute song and if it will be hit, good for Sabrina but constant comparing female singers is ridiculous.

Grammy sweaty?! :thing: Maybe a Kids Choice Award 

oh wow are we already acting like we Stan this Sabrina girl just to go against dua?? haven't we seen this film before..... 

it wouldn't be smart to count a dua song out so early

Illusion is kinda zzz so not surprised :mandown: and Dua's never debuted high in the States anyway, pretty sure Houdini (#11) was her record

 

Good for Sabrina though, opening for Taylor helped expose her to a larger audience so this had been in the cards for a while I fear 

The girls fighting for no reason. I am streaming both these bops back to back.

Dua is coming off of two somewhat disappointing singles that did not resonate with the GeePee after milking promoting FN for like 3-4 years. Illusion is not an outright catchy song/bop.

Sabrina has build a lot of good while with her previous songs, especially in the past 1-2 year, opened for Taylor, and rihleased a super catchy song just as summer is about to start.

Both of them are not my cup of tea, but if I had to choose one I would say espresso. It's slower unlike club song like illusion, and I think that's what people need now. I think we've had enough of club bangers, look how tired gp is after training season. Espresso is more memorable as well.

I couldn't agree more about comparing singers but comparing the songs is another story :gaycat2:

it's funny how Dua stans kept fighting with Camila stans when Sabrina was the true enemy all along :clap3:

People are more familiar with Espresso because they've already heard it when Say So came out :heart:

Not Dua fans falling for the bait again, these people tried it months ago with Tate McRa and where is she now? thinking that dating The Kid Laroi could do something for her career

But I thought dua was the new relevant queen of pop? How could this be?

Still sitting comfortable in the top 15 of the hot 100 with a song that peaked at 3.

Because Espresso is more in line with current trends

This is such a tired excuse. Hozier is currently at no 2. Is that song also in line with "current trends" 

 

If an artist is actually popular, he or she will not rely on being current to have hits. 

Dua Lipa is so over omg :gaycat6:

 

which is hilarious cause her fans were getting cocky and comparing her to legends when she had her 5 minutes of success :gayoncecat3:

Congrats to Sabrina, she's having actual success after years trying

Dua has been releasing hit after hit for 7 years now so scoring hits is not what we should be asking Dua to do in 2024.

She has had a maximum of 4 hits, let us not act as if she has been a constant hitmaker like Rihanna or Katy. 

Not surprised. This is Sabrina's first good song and like Dua's fourth mid one

You didn't. 

 

And neither One Kiss or BMH were hits in the US, they both missed the top 10.
