Jan. 15th, 2023 06:13 pmA few weeks ago, one of the assistants at PT--Emma--mentioned she was going to the Mariah Carey show in NYC, and one of the PTs (guy in his early 30s) made fun of her for it and was like "OMG why, she's a total diva!" and Emma was like "I mean... that's kind of the point." Then she went on to say that she was not going to stand for any Mariah slander, and from there we all got onto the subject of how female pop and rap stars get disparaged a lot. I mean obviously so do male ones, but the insults are different.
Then the guy was like, "Any Swifties here?" and all the women present were like... "Not exactly, but also don't talk shit about her because she's a great songwriter" and things sort of along those lines. Even if "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby" is a corny line, she follows it with "And I'm a monster on the hill / too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city / pierced through the heart but never killed" and like???? That's such a great verse!
I said a while back on FB that Doja Cat's Vegas is way more of an homage to Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog (and better song) than Presley's Hound Dog (and I'll say it again!) Doja Cat is actually pretty amazing when you listen to her rap, nobody does staccato rap like her.
14 year old girls discovered The Beatles and now dudes are like "OMG greatest band ever," LOL. 14 year old girls pretty much discovered all of the biggest acts, and made them what they were. People make fun of boybands like BTS but those guys are pretty amazing.
IDK why this got on my mind today but!
