Is it just me, or is Yaya actually good?

Jessica Wright said:But still, Martin writes songs in the DMs so David really gets into it... hmm...

Exactly. Even Taylor Swift doesn't write her own stuff sometimes, and look how much she complains about it! 😁

It’s a skill you learn. You have to master how to sing like that; it’s not just about "feeling it." I mean, look at those contestants on American Idol. They spend all that time learning how to hold a mic with passion, how to move, how to sing from the soul. And most of them haven't written a single note in their lives, let alone actually lived through anything. 😁

Except for Natalie Portman, I love her. 😳 Plus, I'm a big fan of Yaya too. 😳

It’s a skill you have to learn. Mastering that kind of vocal performance is a craft. It isn't just something you stumble into. You know how they train performers on American Idol to hold the mic with passion, move with rhythm, and actually sing with soul? Most of those contestants haven't written a single lyric in their lives, let alone lived through the experiences they're singing about. 😁

Aside from Natalie Portman—she's my favorite—😳 I also really enjoy Yaya. 😳

I feel the same way... though, does she ever seem a bit detached to you? Like she's just sort of distant from everything? 😁

Regarding Ripper... you really shouldn't be tearing him down like that, seriously. It's perfectly fine if his style isn't your thing or if you just don't get him...
And honestly, the woman just had her baby, so she has a newborn to care for now. If you think about it, he hasn't actually done anything truly terrible...
As for those rumors about him being jealous of Jinx, I mean, really, some people will stoop to any level to find something to criticize...

Jessica Wright said:I love her too... somehow... but doesn't she seem a bit distant, like she's just checked out from everything? 😁

Yeah, yeah. Just generally. 😁

Keep enjoying Taylor Swift, but leave Yaya out of this.

I mean, yeah—Taylor's just kind of playing the part these days 😉.

A bit detached from everything?

👍

Her voice might be interesting, but she doesn't exactly bring any energy or vibe to the track.

Honestly, she brings plenty of atmosphere—it’s just the atmosphere of an existential void. 👍 Anyway, thanks for the mental image of Yaya and Ripper singing Christmas carols
. 😂 To be fair, I actually believe Ripper when he sings. Yaya? She leaves me completely cold. And that's not even counting the fact that her vocals aren't actually bad. 😉 Natalie Portman's voice—expensive taste notwithstanding—is easily one of the best things to happen to American music. At least, in my book. I respect that. I like people who actually have an original idea. Most people around here just lack the ambition to create anything of their own, yet they act so incredibly serious about it—just like Yaya.

😁

It feels like everyone is just part of some secret society or deep state conspiracy out to get us... I'm staying far away from all of that!!

but hold on a second—the woman literally just had her baby, she’s got a newborn to deal with now. honestly, I don't see him having actually done anything that bad...
and this whole thing about him being jealous of Jinx? man, people really will stoop to any level to tear someone down, won't they...

first off, if you ask me, she’s just a jealous, self-centered small-town type who thinks she's bigger than she is; there is absolutely no way her group is ever going to touch Jinx's level of talent.🙂

everything hurts like hell
I'm just totally over it

for all of you
