Sis wear an outfit that doesn't include white challenge Sis sing an NFR song in its entirety that is not VB, MAC, NFR or Bartender challenge Sis be less than 30 minutes late challenge

Yeahhhhhh it's difficult for me to be excited about VB/MAC type shit. Eh ... It's a different discussion, but I'm still annoyed about VB because she had almost 10 minutes to play with and she could've constructed some sort of story.

I can't look for links rn (hopefully someone else can) but this killed me. We're REALLY at the point where her mishaps are the highlights

Nobody said it'd be exactly the same. However, "staying in the same realm" is a red flag for me because all of her albums so far have very different sounds, and I personally think that's part of her appeal as an artist. Making multiple albums with the same/similar sound - especially consecutive ones - is risky, imo. People may like NFR well enough, but that doesn't mean they won't get bored if they feel she's doing the same thing over and over. I can think of quite a few artists who did that album after album and faded into obscurity as a result, because they failed to do anything new. Anyway, it will largely depend on how similar it ends up being ... I don't believe anything she says as far as descriptions go, so I'm not too concerned. Sincerely, Red Hot Chili Peppers vibes on NFR

"October". Watch her put them out on Halloween.

Okay this isn't a complaint but it IS a lie. I seem to recall her saying she wouldn't sing "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" every again, yet: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UtRNyHE0r/ K LANZ. (Idc because I love Ultraviolence, though)

And I wrote my rebuttal on a leaf which floated away into the ether on a momentary breeze.

Actually break down people's arguments and address the points they made instead of trivialising challenge. If you think her turning up 30 - 50 minutes late every show + singing half-arsed acapellas of NFR songs on the NFR tour is acceptable, then okay. It's not "bratty" to be unhappy with unprofessionalism. As for the cop thing, as I said - not accurate - but take that to the cop thread if you want to discuss.

Oh my God ... your points aren't even remotely accurate, but go off. Way to trivialise.

She keeps saying she's "lucky". There are countless other artists who would give anything to be in her position - to have the opportunity to play sold out shows to thousands of adoring fans in beautiful venues. Yet she turns up (late) and half-arses it. Lucky? Yes. Grateful? Doesn't seem like it.

I don't accept #2 as an excuse. It's not like she's being expected to remember meaningless words - these are the lyrics that supposedly mean something to her. So unless her art means very little to her, then I expect her to remember the damn words. If she doesn't, then I expect her to revise them before she tours. I really don't think that that's asking too much. She does shit like this and then wonders why people don't take her seriously. It honestly makes me wonder if her heart is really in any of this. I also feel like it's a bit disrespectful to the other people associated with this album, most notably, Jack. I mean, he worked on these songs with her, and from what I can tell, he takes his work very seriously. Sis can't even be bothered memorising the fucking words to the songs they created together. I don't know if I'd be really pleased if I poured my heart and soul into an album and the other person stopped giving a fuck when it was time to showcase it, but maybe I'm crazy.

Your pfp reminded me: As if the bitch could every play Priscilla in that movie; she doesn't even know the words to her own songs. How would she ever learn lines?

It's fine, but I don't think it's a particularly opinionated piece. It seems to be more of a recount of the show than either a positive or negative review to me. I love how he thinks she chooses the songs on a whim, as if she hasn't had more or less the same set list for seven years. Even he acknowledged that she didn't know the words to California, though.

I'm one of those people who doesn't give much of a fuck what he does, but I wish people wouldn't do that, because she probably thinks her shows are really spectacular because people like him turn up to every single one. He, and everyone else who does that, is doing the whole fan base a disservice. Also, apparently quite a lot of people left her Portland show during VB and at the end she said, "thanks for fucking sticking around!" to the people who were still there. So you know, she can turn up 50 minutes late but God forbid people want to beat the stampede out of the venue/on public transport by missing a few minutes of the VB backing track.

Okay, but seriously, this isn't funny or cute. An acapella of a song is okay. Not knowing the lyrics, and then giving up is not okay. Most of the people on this site know most, if not all, of the words to all of the songs on NFR - how does she not know them? Is she that disinterested in her work? If so, that's concerning. How can she expect we, her fans, to invest in her work when she doesn't? I know I sound dramatic, but ... are the lyrics not the essence of her work? She's a writer, right? Is it just me? I think this is extremely disappointing. There are people saying we should be grateful that she's doing these acapellas but I disagree. Why should we be grateful that she does these ill-prepared renditions of songs from her current fucking album on that album's tour? Like, bitch no. I guess we know why we didn't get lyrics in the album booklet and/or a lyric book - she doesn't fucking know what they are. LOL @@Clampigirl we basically posted the same rant at the same time (except, as expected, yours is much nicer than mine is!)

And those songs were all performed with other people either singing with her, or present (in the case of LFA). She would never sing the national anthem alone at the Super Bowl.

Oh so she's still in a mood, then. These half-arsed renditions of NFR songs in which she swears and/or blames the audience after approximately one minute are becoming tiresome. I don't find it endearing; I find it bratty and diva-ish. What the fuck? Do better, Lanz. People are paying for this shit.

Lol no it wasn't real, sadly

I don't know if this is true but I hope it is LMAO https://mobile.twitter.com/KumarsSalehi/status/1181043875839741952

"Running a bit late on this sound check ..." of course
