Wow, what an incredible compromise we have here! 👍

The subforums where posts aren't counted toward your total include Reddit, Madhouse, and Trash. That hasn't changed at all.

The admins at > moved our main thread out of the archive and dropped it into >, which resulted in me losing over 600 posts; wouldn't it have been much more logical to ensure our post count remained intact from when it was its own subforum? Or perhaps, should they not have moved it at all? Wouldn't the most sensible solution be to simply move this entire section to the archive so everyone's post counts are restored, allowing us to just start a fresh, independent thread over on > instead?

Have I managed to express my concerns clearly enough? Thank you! 😁

Sarah Moore said:Maybe they should just "feed off" each other's energy to ensure the album reaches its full potential. 😁

😂 🤣

But honestly, if there is genuine affection between them, won't they naturally find a way to craft something spectacular together? Especially if the themes are romantic—and let's face it, isn't almost everything being written these days centered on love?—then wouldn't the resulting album be nothing short of perfect? 😍 👍 😁)

Jessica Flores78 said:It is truly a pleasure to 😁
I certainly share that sentiment. If they are going to call it quits, wouldn't it be best if they waited until at least after this upcoming album release 😉 😁
?

🤣 😂 🤣 indeed... 🙏

As long as J.K. Rowling keeps him satisfied, can we not hold onto hope for a successful album? 😁

Jessica Flores78 said:Chris Barrett5, I have some rather unfortunate news for you. 😢
Yesterday, while I was out in town grabbing some ice cream, I happened to spot Iva and Natko from Connect at the parlor. It appears they really are dating after all. 😲


(they were kissing)

👎

Well, that is actually wonderful news! On one hand, I am truly happy for her, but on the other hand, isn't there a certain risk involved? If things don't work out between them personally, could it potentially jeopardize their professional partnership as well? That would be quite a difficult situation for everyone involved. 😢

neontrucker96 said:that’s really the crux of the matter, isn't it?
It isn't actually about having a flawless vocal range; it's about how you package that talent and use those tracks to draw a crowd.
Just look at how someone like Rihanna pulls in millions despite not being a technical powerhouse behind a mic.
It's all just pure marketing strategy.

Ah, yes... unfortunately, that seems to be the reality of it... 😢

neontrucker96 said:Exactly!
Honestly, I feel like they're just recycling about 90% of the mainstream American pop scene at this point.
I mean, who actually has a unique voice left in this industry?
You have Vanna, Nina... I can't even name them all, but there are plenty more... and now we have J.K. Rowling!

But let's be real, J.K. Rowling is an absolute icon! 🙏 🙏 🙏

I am genuinely counting down the days until the album drops! 🎉 🙂

I really hope she delivers some incredible tracks! 👍

neontrucker96 said:I couldn't agree more!
Besides, those are live performances, and they sound absolutely incredible!
In the studio, they just go in and polish everything up further!

Well, that’s true... but just think about how much production work goes into a single track for someone as superficial as Rihanna, whereas with Iva, there’s really no need for all that extra processing because she actually possesses a real voice and knows exactly how to use it! 🙏

neontrucker96 said:Are they producing her tracks, or is she actually going to sing alongside them?

They handle the production for her... specifically Shalla and Natko. In fact, they were the ones behind the hit "praznovjerno."😉

neontrucker96 said:But isn't it truly a magnificent song?
It somehow brings to mind Nina.😉

Oh, everyone says that, don't they? But honestly, her voice is just absolutely breathtaking. Does anyone else remember when she performed "Believe" alongside Madonna? If you head over to YouTube and skip to around the 3:10 mark, you'll see exactly what I mean. That moment where she holds that note for so long... it truly proves she is a diva among divas, wouldn't you agree? 🙏

neontrucker96 said:How on earth hasn't she been shut down yet?????🤷 🤷
You are probably doing something wrong!
In other words, you might be following what Chris Barrett5 said—just wasting your energy for nothing!
Perhaps it would be wise to take a page out of our book!😁

Exactly! 🙏

Does anyone happen to know when her new tracks might drop? I know she’s been recording with the folks over at Connect, but does anyone have an idea of when they will actually be finished?

neontrucker96 said:well, I don't really follow the local music festivals here in the States (or American music in general), so I guess that’s why I’m out of the loop!
So, does she already have her own original songs?
Is there somewhere I can actually listen to them or download them?

I don't really follow the scene either, but I heard through the grapevine... 😁 unfortunately, she doesn't have any original tracks yet... this is her very first one (praznovjerno)

neontrucker96 said:So, from what I can tell, she was already singing before this, right? (Judging by that performance with the choir)
But was she just under the radar, or was her style simply never meant for the mainstream masses?

It wasn't really intended for the mass market... she used to perform at those big festivals in Nashville and places like that. She certainly didn't go unnoticed; if I recall correctly, she actually took home first place at one of those major Nashville competitions! 👍

neontrucker96 said:Alright, look, I get that you're being quite subjective here, but even if I take a step back, I don't think you're all that far off the mark!😉

Now, perhaps I am being a bit biased, but even when I try to look at this objectively, she just seems so incredibly charming, doesn't she? Honestly, I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to actually sit down and have a conversation with her in person. I truly find myself eagerly anticipating whatever new music she decides to release next! 🎉

neontrucker96 said:Hey, I just have to brag a little—I finally managed to download all her YouTube performances along with the studio version of "Praznovjerni"!
I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!

I feel exactly the same way! Everything about it is just phenomenal. Honestly, the studio cut of "Praznovjerni" is far too good for its own good! I am sitting here counting down the days until she drops new music. 🙏 👍

neontrucker96 said:I suppose I should mention her temperament, though if she's from the South, could she ever truly be anything but wonderful? 😉
Not at all; "perfection" seems like a rather fitting description, wouldn't you agree? 😉

From what little I've seen of her on TV, she always came across as quite charming and lovely... 😁

neontrucker96 said:Hmm, you know what?
She really does look stunning!😉
And she’s my girl through and through!
I mean, who wouldn't be captivated by her?😉

And don't even get me started on that voice! It’s just a perfect blend of everything beautiful. 😍 😁

Blue eyes😘 for the photos! THEY ARE STUNNING!!! 🙏 👍 🙏 👍

It’s almost as if they’re being superstitious about having Shelly and Nathan writing pieces for Connect 😉
