Perhaps you didn't catch it, or maybe you just don't quite grasp what the word HYPOTHETICAL means? 😉😁
Trust me, it was never my intention to be a fan of hers! I don't really know her personally, so...
P.S. I don't mean any harm by that toward those of you who actually are fans. 😉

I get it... 😉 😁

Maria Clark said:But why didn't she win on Showtime?

Well, someone's clearly had a few too many drinks, 🤷

It all comes down to the fact that they wanted a perfectly balanced ratio of men to women in the finale, and since they weren't interested in having two songs from the same producer, they pushed Toni Morrison out—it was rigged, just like any other reality competition...
😁
And as for me being her biggest fan... I wouldn't suggest questioning that unless you want to deal with the consequences!
😁 😉 😁

neontrucker96 said:Look, I wouldn't call myself a superfan or anything like that!
I don't actually know her personally, but man, she can really sing—honestly, her talent is just incredible.👍
Maybe one day I'll end up being her biggest fan, but for now, I can just say I'm really enjoying her music!😉

That’s just impossible... there is simply no way you could ever be a bigger fan than I am... 😬 😁 😉

I suppose I can proudly claim to be Toni Morrison's biggest admirer! 😍 😉 😁
As for the rest of what you mentioned, I find myself in complete agreement. 😉 😁

fadedcanyon482 said:She has a decent enough voice (though personally, I always thought little Frank Sinatra had more soul), but honestly, does it even matter on our music scene? We simply lack the talented songwriters capable of actually utilizing voices like hers. Even someone like Taylor Swift, who was mentioned a moment ago, could probably be working with much higher quality material suited to her range...

Such lovely comments from you both! 🙏 But Ali Connectovac really knows how to pull off something incredible! Since Shalla and Natko are absolute legends, I have zero doubt that the songs on this upcoming album will be nothing short of masterpiece level! 👍 😉 😁

Lisa Clark31 said:Honestly, let them be clueless about what they're missing out on. 🤣 😉

Precisely! 😁

Are you seriously suggesting she doesn't have a great voice?!?!??! 😕😕 🤷

And please, forgive me if I came across as a bit blunt or whatever... I truly didn't mean to be rude. My apologies! 😉

placidlynx23 said:It doesn't matter if they became famous by winning a competition or just appearing on some reality show. It's all the same.

Doesn't this perspective of yours perfectly illustrate why people who produce these types of shows exist in the first place? You say she has an "amazing voice"—but what does that actually signify? Technical proficiency has absolutely nothing to do with artistic talent, vision, creativity, an artistic way of being, or personal integrity (and I am not referring to mere "business" or "professional" ethics) when we are discussing true art. Furthermore, you speak of a "career." To a genuine artist—a musician, in this context—the concept of building a career isn't even something they would dwell upon. If such a thing happens, it is merely a byproduct of their devotion to the craft. A secondary occurrence, and ultimately quite inconsequential.

The way you all discuss these "musicians"—using the term in its most superficial sense—seems to imply nothing more than a "technically skilled professional." And that has very little to do with music as an art form, or the musician as an artist.

But what about Norah Jones, who won those Grammys? She truly built a career... and I personally feel that Ivy has both the intellect and the "grit" required to make something of herself... when you write, I get the impression that you believe it is impossible to forge a musical career. How then have certain American pop stars managed to do it??? 😕

placidnomad50 said:In three years, she will be

who the fuck is Toni Morrison?

I wouldn't be so sure about that... 😉 😁

She has already started recording an album... and the folks from Conrad know how to turn an album into something special, so I am not worried at all!😉 😉

Anonymous said:She has a very good and powerful voice! I think she will succeed in breaking into our scene and lasting for quite a while! 😁

🙏 👍

As long as some people can ignore the facts and pretend to be ignorant...🙄

@ placidlynx23

I can't quite wrap my head around why she didn't take home the win on that show, though I suppose everyone has their own reasons... but honestly, she has such incredible potential. With a voice that powerful, what could possibly stand in her way as she builds a career? 😕

jadeskipper14 said:If you ask me, she was honestly one of the standout talents on Showtime... even though I wasn't glued to the screen every single week... but there's just something about her, isn't there? It feels like she truly possesses the kind of potential that could turn into something massive if she plays her cards right. 🙂

Well, that is just lovely to hear! Such a wonderful perspective from an outsider. You've truly brightened my day! 😉 😁

Ashley Martin6 said:clearly nothing😁

🤣 😂

I mean, could one perhaps try to actually write something meaningful... just once? 😁

I can't help but wonder what those who haven't really gotten to know her will have to say... 😁

Hehe...

For those who aren't aware, you can actually head over to the Showtime website to listen to some of her performances. She has covered such a wide variety of songs, hasn't she? From "You Were Always on My Mind" and "I Will Always Love You" to "Respect," "Just Like a Pill," and "When You Believe"—even "Niše Mi Svejedno"... she really does touch on everything.😁

I suspect most of you might not be familiar with who she is... since it seems like the discussions here mostly revolve around rock and similar genres. But that’s alright; those who are interested are free to read and share their thoughts! 😁

Iva Ajduković was a contestant on the musical competition series Showtime. She really stood out to everyone as an incredibly talented performer, and there is a lot of buzz predicting a massive career ahead of her. I can already hear some of you thinking, "No way... she'll just be another forgotten face from a washed-up reality show!" However, many of us—myself included—don't see it that way at all. In fact, she has already begun recording an album, and given her powerhouse vocals and the fact that she's working with top-tier producers like Shalla and Natko, she has a very clear path toward stardom.

I would ask that, rather than simply dismissing her as another fleeting celebrity, you actually take a moment to listen to her music; I truly believe her voice will win you over! 😉 Many people have even drawn comparisons between her and Nina Badrić! I personally adore her talent and sincerely hope to see her achieve the greatness she deserves!
