was just trying to make a joke! Intended zero harm. Just figured I could poke at them back with the same aloof passive aggression they poke at artists with! Clearly a misunderstanding



Maybe it's always a good rule of thumb not to wish death on your critics? Just spitballing here.

Yeah, not everyone needs to have a bellowing type of singing voice. But hers is so ...plain, empty? Her vocal timbre is very blah and forgettable.

It’s insane to me that after all the fans and money that celebrities have, they still get upset by a bad review. I wish I worked at a job that I got paid millions for, everyone tells me I’m great besides a few people.

When you put your heart and soul into a project only for it to not be well received, I can understand them getting upset, but you would think she would be smarter than airing out her feelings online for everyone to see.

That’s the thing though. Most people in their work field put their heart and effort in to things but still make it through criticism. I don’t expect everyone to love the work I’m doing and I definitely don’t love when someone criticizes me but I never act like I SHOULDN’T be criticized but for whatever reason, celebrities love to act like they shouldn’t be criticized since they get coddled by all the yes people around them.

basically. when you're at that level (or any public level) you do not air out any understandable hurt you may feel by a bad review. You do it privately IRL or in private chats with people at a similar level to you. Watching these big artists, be they singers, writer, actors whatever have twitter spats about a bad review always gives me such second hand embarrassment. Their egos are bigger than their reason.

Wishing death on anyone, regardless of their location is not amusing. And yes, building collapses cause death, let's not pretend she just wished their office would be damaged. Their office didn't write the review that she couldn't handle, people who work there did.

Some of these people make it sound like bad reviews are inherently wrong, like it's something we shouldn't be doing to spare peoples' feelings, as if the reviews are for them and not people who are deciding whether to give their time and/or money to the person. Like "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" does not apply here.

What sucks is, all of these celebrities who complain make it so all their fans harass the critics which in turn we get critics who just rate everything amazing to keep peace.

Most music outlets that do reviews nowadays are glorified press for artists, so they get mad when outlets don't just act as free publicity for them. I think this is in part why that MTVNews website ended up shuttering: A big name artist threatened to stop giving them interviews because they published a review that was mildly critical of one of his concerts.

mte. like most of the time, we need different reviews not just the positive ones bc if something sucks it's better to know so you can work on it & maybe improve it. not everything made is going to be the greatest thing ever, so it's better to work on what's working or better to improve things.
