Sexxy Red actually voted for Kamala. She used the t-slur as part of wordplay in a song but i don't think she's actually transphobic. If that's the case, then every celebrity associated positively with Cardi B (pretty much all your favs) needs to be cancelled too.

Honestly, there just isn't enough star power to carry these shows anymore. Barely any A-listers attended and now it's just a bunch of Love Island and reality stars. When was the last time there was a memorable moment or performance at this show? Last I remember it was Miley twerking. They will probably have to cancel in the next decade due to lack of profits. No one I know irl watches this or even knows it's happening.

Kiss All the Time…Disco Occasionally

This is a nuclear bomb. Even 143 3rd day numbers were better than this Literally no one cares about listening to her new music

I was just listening to this album today. A classic.

No I said Olivia and Charli are (on what planet would I ever claim Sza as white passing? lol) I addressed everyone else in my previous comment. Here it is: Karol G - She's a bigger name in the Latino community and we all know it hence she barely has two top 10 hits. Go ask the average to name a list of popstars they will say Billie, Olivia, Sabrina, Chappel etc. The average person will not name Karol G. Sza gets lumped into R&B even by the Grammys, Doechii hasn't had a hit since Anxiety. So then it's what - Doja (who also hasn't had a Top 10 for a while) and Pinkpantheress? That's nothing compared to the level of domination we saw from Rihanna, Beyoncé, Janet, Whitney, even Nicki. The current pop scene is MUCH less diverse compared to the early and mid 2000's. I honestly don't even know how that's up for debate.

It's not devising reasons…they ARE white passing…the term focuses on how people see you, not how you see yourself. Nothing about their appearance/music reads as "non-white" and yes that matters when marketing to a majority white consumer base. And it matters when we are talking about diversity within pop girls. Janet, Whitney, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Karol G (due to accent/spoken language) etc read as unambiguously non-white to the majority of the country. That you can argue that we have just as much diversity in pop girls now as 10 or 20 years ago is insane. It's just not true.

Olivia - her main inspiration is Taylor and she makes the same singer songwriter confessional music as any other white pop girl. Her music and persona is read as white by other white people. The average person wouldn't know she's less than half Filipina from her music or appearance. Karol G - She's a bigger name in the Latino community and we all know it hence she barely has two top 10 hits. Go ask the average to name a list of popstars they will say Billie, Olivia, Sabrina, Chappel etc. The average person will not name Karol G. Charli - same as Olivia she's white passing barely anyone knows about her Indian heritage or could guess from her music. Sza gets lumped into R&B even by the Grammys, Doechii hasn't had a hit since Anxiety. So then it's what - Doja (who also hasn't had a Top 10 for a while) and Pinkpantheress? That's nothing compared to the level of domination we saw from Rihanna, Beyoncé, Janet, Whitney, even Nicki. You can't hide things like melanin/ability to speak English/accents etc. These things all factor into whether the average white person (the majority of country) views you as an "other" which affects who labels take a chance on as the end goal is always money. The current pop scene is MUCH less diverse compared to the early and mid 2000's. I honestly don't even know how that's up for debate.

Neon Signs is unlistenable.

Different Religion is definitely the highlight of the album. Orbit is also a great a ballad. I also liked Redlights and Snow. Not a huge fan, but Let's Get Married should have been the lead. It sounds more in the vein of what's popular on the charts right now.
