Becky G parts ways with Dr Luke's Kemosabe records; Is Doja next?
Interesting... I guess we'll find out on Doja's next single release. They're both still on RCA's roster, so maybe they both had a 6 album deal instead of 5 which... yikes, but I wouldn't be shocked. Especially considering the fact that Luke had more leverage using Kesha's fame to sign all of these people around 2012 for worse deals. Funnily enough, none of the artists on Kemosabe's roster followed Luke to Amigo Records, and no one on Amigo's roster has the discography to keep the lights on for long. Also, I just saw Kemosabe's sole Spotify playlist made in 2022 and they conveniently left Kesha out completely, as well as any of Becky G's Spanish mega hits after she also sued Dr. Luke in 2018. Neither of them are on Kemosabe's website either. So, I guess even if he stopped being CEO by 2017, someone controlling Kemosabe's pages definitely still felt a certain way about those two. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3oa8sA8y95GLmugLdisex0

Becky G parts ways with Dr Luke's Kemosabe records; Is Doja next?
Does Kemosabe even exist anymore? I think Becky G might have just been merged with RCA if it dissolved, but might still be under the same contract for this fifth album. "Hablamos Mañana" was released before this album dropped under Kemosabe/RCA late last year. She had very poor promo for this album and it reminded me of the way Kesha's last album under Kemosabe was dropped with very minimal promo outside of a few podcasts. She's also had no promo in latin america, her biggest market, and I feel like she would've signed with UMG since they have a better hold on that market outside of Sony.

Why doesn't Miley get lashed as hard for flopping?
There's certainly truth to this when it comes to online fan groups. Miley never had a large fanbase online that would annoy or fight with others the way Katy's small, but loud and obnoxious stans still living in 2010-2013 do. I think Miley's legacy will be more fondly remembered along the likes of Cher, who also had musical hits in different eras and very likeable quips in her interviews among general audiences.

Even more iconic considering they were protesting the IDF, I hope they're doing well and still anti-zionist.

Gaga Daily owner debuts prison time
omg Weird seeing his name again, I feel like I grew up on Gagadaily. Didn't know they were racist though, twitter eventually became more fun than their forums since you couldn't criticize anything about Gaga on there. LGMonsterFacts was even more iconic.

Should Demi Go Back to Urban Music?
It was an interview she did with Chicks in the Office last year: Demi Lovato admitted that her rock era "didn't work" out the way she'd hoped but is excited to resurrect her pop music. During Demi's "Chicks in the Office" podcast appearance, the "Substance" artist said their rock album 'Holy ****' "was a passion project, and I went back to my roots a little bit with, you know, I grew up listening to in my emo days, the rock stuff." "I realized what worked for me was 'Cool for the Summer,' and these other big pop songs, and I'm like, 'Why don't I just go back to that?'" Demi added. "And, it matches my mood, you know what I mean? It feels authentic to where I'm at right now. So, I'm just going to chase that."

Should Demi Go Back to Urban Music?
She's actually really great in all of the sub-genres she's dabbled in. My Love is Like A Star could've been an R&B-pop staple if she had dabbled in that lane more on R&B radio and BET back in 2011. Another R&B-pop album would be amazing. They pivoted from rock to electropop (in her own words from an interview) because Holy **** didn't sell as well, but INTD ended up being a bigger underperformance, so she really has nothing to lose.

skinny dipping turned 5 this month… Thoughts today?
Crazy to to think this was the lead single. I remember the intro being dragged through the mud on twitter. Such a great album, I'm glad her career went the way it did after releasing better singles.

Melissa Barrera wishes she got the same support Macklemore did
They don't control the media, yet everyone is afraid to speak up about Palestine, and when they say anything as simple as "Free Palestine" they're fired? **** Neve Campbell and the rest of the cast that crossed that picket line for that snoozefest that was Scream 7. Melissa is goated for speaking out as loudly as she did and has been. I'm not surprised a fellow Mexican would do that in an industry full of idiot ass white Americans and zios.

Poptimism is over. Streams are down. But she still triumphed. Why?
Until the girls start getting 2 star reviews from Rolling Stone and Allmusic again, I won't believe the wave of poptimism is over. Also, she's just that good and this deserves AOTY.

Why do the gays support Troye but not MNEK?
He's talented, and there certainly are hard truths about race and hegemony in gay male spaces, but I think Troy just had the upper hand with how his record label promoted him. He arguably had a much bigger machine behind him that also kept his music releases consistent, aside from how palatable his music was.

Do You Feel Jealous of Native English Speakers?
You could say the same for a huge portion of mainstream English pop music though. Majority aren't very rich or subversive lyrically, and I would argue that both anglo and latino pop markets fare a lot better in indie pop spaces right now. Taylor's lyrics are very in your face. For every Billie Eilish or Rina Sawayama, there's 5 Gracie Abrams. In Latin/Spanish pop, artists like Little Jesus, Rosalia, Danna, Joaquina, Juliana, Kenia Os, Ivan Cornejo, etc. rival the kind of alt pop that Charli, Rina, Lorde, Chappell, etc. have been putting out. You just don't hear about so many alt pop latino artists because they're not the focal point of online fan spaces, but they are there and are creating great music. And Gaga is a horrible example of lyricism, if she's difficult to understand, it's mainly because she's more concerned with being nonsensical and creating catchy, great melodies.

Do You Feel Jealous of Native English Speakers?
I don't think so, and as a native English and Spanish speaker, I wouldn't really be as envious of native English speakers because Spanish tends to be a lot more poetic, clever, and introspective (at least for pop music in the 70's-2000's). Romance and yearning also just sound better, especially with rancheras, and politics in corridos and banda are as quick witted as rap, and I tend to gravitate towards those subjects a lot more. I think if you want to understand more of the context of the music you listen to, it'd be a great idea to watch older comedy series/movies in English (by older, I mean mostly 80's/90's/2000's made content), particularly American media. You can contextualize media more easily when your brain can pull from different references.

Demi performs "In Case" (2013) for the first time ever
She sang the **** out of that!! omg This is one of her best deep cuts, this album had such good ballads. She should give it some shine and re-release it with Muni Long (the writer) as a feature.

I wonder what her/her lawyers saw in this deal? I'm actually surprised to find out she was independent this entire time, I feel like she had some pretty heavy playlisting.

Are you patriotic for your country?
Every country that exists has not been built off of genocide of its natives, importing slaves for free labor, causing mass migration from destabilizing the global south and then deporting said immigrants, and funding the very bombs for other countries to commit genocide. We are the only "first world" country to not have universal healthcare, mandatory paid vacations, and we have the same life expectancy as Cuba (a country we've destabilized since the sanctions we've placed in the 60's). Patriotism blinds a person to the ability to criticize their countries shortcomings to make real, tangible change that will mobilize progression. Your comment about Iraq tells me everything I need to know about how you view other people and their cultures, considering many queer people from Iraq still love their cultural heritage, and rightfully so, especially in the face of pompous American twats like you.
