The American diaspora isn't a fan of Severina

* Britney is just who she is. Neither Britney nor, say, the Spice Girls were ever trying to sell you some profound lyrical depth; they provided straightforward pop music—nothing groundbreaking, but that’s the point.

* Britney is a phenomenal dancer and radiates pure energy. When I watch Britney (I've never seen her live, mind you, though I've only ever seen her on TV), there's a certain spark there. There's a similar raw quality to how these big pop stars carry themselves.

* Britney stayed out of politics. This other star, though? It's constant—sometimes she's political, sometimes she isn't, then she's back at it again... 🙂

Why is it considered such a disaster that this tour hasn't been a massive business success? These things happen. From what I gather, she remains incredibly popular here in the States.

There really isn't a difference. They are both scandal-prone singers of light pop music, the kind teenage girls scream for and whose private lives become the obsession of people who clearly have nothing better to do with their time.

I experience them both differently, but I guess that’s just down to personal taste. For what it's worth, criticizing someone doesn't always have to be rooted in jealousy just because a singer didn't hit it big. Maybe the marketing missed the mark, maybe the timing was off, or maybe the artist simply lacks mainstream appeal outside of a specific niche.

Is it really okay for singers like that to serve as role models when 🙄kids have constant access to this kind of garbage online? If these artists were more careful about their public image and private actions, there wouldn't be so much drama surrounding them today...😛.

jadetiger10 said:So, tell me—is it actually considered normal for singers like that to be held up as role models?🙄Kids have unlimited access to the internet these days, which means they’re constantly being exposed to this kind of absolute garbage. Honestly, shouldn't a singer like Britney Spears be more mindful of her private life and what she puts out there? In today's climate, if she weren't such a massive icon, people wouldn't even be raising an eyebrow at this nonsense. Why does it feel like we're just letting this stuff slide?😛 .

Raising children is, first and foremost, the responsibility of the parents. No parent can claim they’ve done their job if they simply sit back and let the media dictate their child's upbringing and instill their supposed "values." If you build a child on a solid foundation, what chance does some mindless social media feed or the influence of the streets actually have? Is it really any wonder when society feels fractured, or have we just forgotten that the home comes before the screen?

I’d much rather watch Keith Wilson81 doing his little dance moves🙂

So what, really? Everyone saw it, now what? Are we supposed to crucify her for it?! And frankly, I don't think that movie of hers was some calculated marketing ploy—it felt more like a total disaster. Sure, I'll admit she played the victim card there, but so what? You know the saying: let him who is without sin cast the first stone! And don't you try to lecture me, young lady.😛

just give me the rock☕

I guess Sia's been hanging out in NYC at her sister's place for a while now, recording songs and filming stuff there. That's probably why she started her tour from there instead of through the usual channels. Thomson is just on a different level, I suppose.

Chloe Allen26 said:So, what now?! And don't try to push me around, kid...😛

Well, that's it then. We aren't going to watch her anymore, and that's that... 😬 You're being quite intense... 😍

Here 😍

George Gray3 said:Sia's been hanging out in Mexico at her sister's place for ages now—that's where she does all her songwriting, filming, and... well, whatever else happens behind closed doors. That’s basically where her whole tour kicked off from, too. Honestly, people don't really know what's going on with her because she stays under the radar. And compared to someone like Thomson, it's a totally different vibe.

Yeah, and then the singer acts all surprised when the local crowd decides to boycott her show. Like, seriously? If that's where she feels most at home, maybe she should just pack up and move there permanently. It's clearly her "natural habitat" anyway.😁

I don't know about you guys, but I actually thought her work was pretty decent. My only real gripe is... where on earth did she find that scrawny little kid to work with? I mean, look at me—I'm a good-looking guy and I definitely pack more heat than he does.😁 😁 😁
