  1. At least it seems like she's self-aware Awesome you had such a wonderful time, I would have killed for those kind of interactions in 2014
  2. I'm surprised there's so few comments about how amazing they are I've been watching their performances for a while now and they're really consistent with the quality of their shows. They're constantly giving vocals, charisma and aesthetic (most of their stage outfits are to die for, I freaking love the baroque ones). Abigail is such an awesome frontwoman but all the girls really shine in their own way. I love when she dances near them to highlight their performance. I seriously cannot wait for Prelude To Ecstasy. I've been dying to get the studio versions of Caesar on a TV, Burn Alive and Mirror ever since I heard them and I'm soooo happy they made it on the tracklist
  3. I honestly feel so bad for people thinking the delays and technical difficulties are normal and worth paying for at this point. The fact they're expected and became part of her show is beyond me. Good for the fans if they're content with the crumbs they're getting, but like seriously... She's supposed to be a singer. Singing well is the bare minimum. If I was a perfectionist singer and got comments like "at least, she sounded good during X", I would be mortified.
  4. Let's be real: Lana would have imagined a way better, more original and unpredictable name than honeymoon.v2.0 We're talking about the sparklejumpropequeen. There was 100% chance it was a fake account.
  5. I don't what some of you are on but 111's rants are hands down the most entertaining stuff among the usual leak pleadings, hopelessness and 2014 throwbacks Giving energy and quality absolutely every time, the opposite of Miss Sky. They're now an integral part of the thread. You just cannot not expecting them when you come here. If in a week there's no Sky drag or a Pretty Dull mention, well, it's simply not the Sky Ferreira thread.
  6. Absolutely, that's exactly why I no longer come to this thread as regularly as I used to. I'd add it's easy when you keep reading about violence and injustice to be so angry you start losing focus on what's important: what you can or can't do. As individuals, we cannot help Palestine exist as a state/entity. We don't have that power. It doesn't mean we cannot help at all though. If you have the money, you can donate to charities. If you don't, you can still raise awareness on the subject, with understanding and empathy.
  7. I think this thread is a perfect example of how things are getting messy in the international discourse. Putting it in spoiler because it's long: That said, some things should be simple enough not to get confused but for some reason, it's hard for some people: You can criticize the despicable, evil actions of the Israeli government without being antisemistic. You can hold Hamas responsible for their crimes and still support Palestine. All Jews aren't Zionists. All Palestinians aren't terrorists. All Israeli don't support Netanyahu. All Palestinians don't support Hamas. I don't know if the two-state solution will ever see the light of the day and if Palestinians will finally live in peace, but I do know the true victims right now are the civilians being bombed, killed and mutilated for crimes they didn't commit. All the money and energy Western countries are putting in that conflict should be for humanitarian aid and nothing else. Side note: I wouldn't ban people spouting IDF propaganda. There's a slim chance they've been brainwashed and interacting with other people might open their eyes. As slim as it is, I'd still take it.
  8. Ngl my paranoid ass thought removing her from the roster was a way to scare or threaten her and get a reaction out of that. I'd kill to be a fly on Capitol's walls and hear all the tea, seriously If we can't have Pretty Dull, can we at least know why exactly? And in details? I no longer want speculations. I want proof and well-documented claims (and I know @111 has a list (that I love to read and reread), but I mean, I want tea from an "official" source like a record representative and no more vague stuff that can be denied or refuted).

    Damn I love her so much.
  10. Wish I could lay hands on her whole Lizzy Grant wardrobe, even (especially) her kitschiest clothes. I swear if I could, no one would be able to snatch them back from me. I'd be buried with them
  11. I'm SO HAPPY for our queen She deserves so much after years of snubbing, if not more. Like nominating's cool and everything, but now they better make her win and finally recognize her longtime influence on the current musical landscape
  12. Huuun, ok. I stand corrected! I have no idea how labels really work, so thanks for the info. I would've argued that she probably let that to management then, but I'm not sure I understand: if she complained she had to do stuff her label was supposed to do, but said stuff isn't the label's but management's... Does it mean she doesn't have a (real) manager? Or does she have as much clue as me about what labels are supposed to do? We'll never know the truth behind Sky and Capitol's beef, but just from that, it seems there's a misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge on Sky's part? If labels don't do that shit and she doesn't have management, it's normal they are asking HER to do that, right? So she can't really accuse her labels of not doing... what they're not supposed to do? Not saying she's a liar but I'd find that wild she knows as much as me considering she's been in the business for years. I do remember she said that (having to do stuff she didn't think was her job) but frankly, I'm past believing her. Sky's never been the most reliable source. Also, I'm not forgetting (ironically) that Don't Forget video she shelved herself. Girlie thinks promo isn't her job but she fires the editor to do his work? Just to never release that shit? I get not liking the editor's vision but... just do the fucking work you gave to yourself then?? This is part of the many inconsistencies that makes me believe in the perfectionnist-excuse-actual-lazy-ass explanation. I'd love to believe her but she's the reason I have trust issues. Sorry for the long rant but I'm genuinely so confused about all of that. And tired. I only want Pretty Dull to finally move on from her and that hell of a thread.
  13. Honestly I feel like it's very bad for her and for us. We won't hear about her and the tracks she worked on will forever be vaulted. She's 100% too lazy to try and book shows or interviews herself. I don't know if Capitol was still doing basic advertizing for her, but I imagine they did because she doesn't seem like the type to care about that. Like, if she was still late to sing even though it's her passion, I don't see her picking up her phone ever again to attend another MET gala. I can't imagine another major label signing her after her Capitol days. Even if she's in the right, Capitol will probably end her reputation among their peers. Indie labels have little to no money and we know she wants better budgets. So...? I hope I'm wrong but I'm pretty pessimistic about her situation and Masochism existence for now.
  14. I obviously don't know what's on her mind but it's hard for me to believe she wouldn't condemn the killing of civilians if she knew the truth. Lana is out of touch, she's always been. Unless she shows true support for Israel, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't think she has political or personal reason to do so anyway. It's not too far fetched to think she genuinely believes she's doing the right thing. When you're not informed, it's hard not to believe such massive propaganda.
  15. If it can enlighten people as to why this letter is so criticized: It is mostly full of shit regarding the conflict. It's not only poorly worded but plain disgusting when you read between the lines. Of course it's a good thing to ask for the release of hostages and I sure hope all of them are safe and will soon go back to their family, unharmed. But: "Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction" I wouldn't qualify funding the bombing of civilians to be an unshakable moral conviction, but ok. "and for the Palestinians who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized by Hamas" Totally shifting the Apartheid politics perpetuated by Israel on the enemy's side. It's a gross manipulation I can't overlook. Anyone with two brain cells and access to Internet can learn how Israel deported, murdered, jailed Palestinians and destroyed any of their infrastructures since late 40s. Also, Israel helped create Hamas in the 80s to politically destabilize Palestine and smother any Palestinian authority to face them. Just saying. "We all want the same thing: freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace" I believe these celebs they do. But the government of Israel don't. None of their actions show a urge to make peace. Look up the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Or the shady stuff surrounding Marwan Barghouti. Some Palestinian politicians could have led a pacific government had Israel not throw a wrench in the gears. "And most urgently, in this moment, freedom for the hostages." The wounded in Gaza having no access to water or really any ressources to even survive are just as important. No mention of Palestinians being bombed without the possibility of escaping, as Israel is encircling them. They're literally in an open-air prison. Their fate isn't different from hostages. A true peace statement would call for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. That letter is garbage.
  16. I agree with everything you've posted, but I have to add to that: Palestine is all innocent. Hamas might be tied to Palestine but it isn't Palestine. It's kinda like the IRA/Ireland: the actions of one group shouldn't condemn civilians... especially when Israel has the means to send troops instead of blindly bombing lands. They're deliberately choosing to kill innocents. They're also currently bombing the West Bank despite Hamas having no ties to Jordanians. Basically, they're using the deaths of their own people as an excuse to further expand the occupation. What makes me super mad about that letter, though, is that line about Hamas terrorizing Palestine for 15 years. What a way to twist the truth... Israel has been deporting and purging Palestine for 70 years now, but I guess it's not important in the slightest Exactly. Every country defending Israel is just protecting their interest. It has nothing to do with the fact they're Jews or surviving children of the Shoah. They couldn't care less about that. If they were truly shocked and moved by genocide, they would have lifted a finger for the freedom of Palestine long ago. Those hypocrites also would have welcomed Jews when they needed a place the most (Palestine wasn't even the promise land... Many Jews back in the day sought refuge in America, but were drove back because no one wanted them. It was apparently easier to give them a piece of land Western countries didn't truly own.) Also, friendly reminder that not every Jew is pro-Israel and even not every Israeli is pro-Israel (in the sense they're not ok with their government's decisions) just like not every Palestinian is pro-Hamas. All those civilians, whether they're from Israel or Palestine, mostly want peace. They're all victims of the actions of their own government, and that's what's so tragic. All those celebs picking sides like it's a fucking football game are privileged, ignorant assholes sheltered in a safe country. When they praise Biden leadership, they just ignore the wish of agonizing populations that are fucking tired of politics and just want to be able to live another day.
  17. Seriously, it made me sigh in disbelief lmaoo. I was 100% sure that ISIS was Daech (that's how we call it in France) but I had to double check if Hamas was also called like that in English. I couldn't comprehend why was ISIS suddenly on the table It really shows you that people have absolutely little to no idea about what's happening in Middle East. I hate oversimplification and misinformation so much.
  18. First of all, it's not ISIS but Hamas. Then, the vile actions of Hamas shouldn't result in the death of thousands of innocent civilians, that have nothing to do with those (especially considering most of the population in Gaza is underage and couldn't vote for Hamas in 2006). Finally, there was another letter (Artists 4 Ceasefire) that was way more nuanced and definitely hurting for both sides. Also, I can't believe I'm writing that: encouraging Israel bombings will never be a pro-peace statement.
  19. I'm liking this comment. I mean, I still can't, but I'm liking this comment lmao. I was soooo happy when I saw Nov 3 in the trailer just to be crushed when I searched for a cinema nearby Right? It's such a weird thing to expect lmao. Of course the actors won't look like the people they portray... because they're not these people. Their performance is more important. That's what acting is. I really like the actors' mannerisms we saw in the trailer. They might not look the part but it seems they're doing a really good job. Plus, I trust Sofia's vision to give us a raw, truthful and nuanced version of Priscilla's story.
  20. I'm a little sad and annoyed but honestly ? Not surprised at all. She's always been ignorant. I hate to be reminded of that, but she did write QFTC and she did date that awful cop (among other stuff). Most of the time, her heart probably is in the right place but you obviously can't do good if you're not informed enough. I wouldn't be surprised she has no clue about the situation in Palestine and just saw there was hostages and went with the narrative pushed by the pro-Israel propaganda. Still can't like posts but I would if I could.
  21. I'm just as confused. I'm also a Nov 4 baby (hi ) and I, too, wanted to see it for my birthday.
  22. OMG I manifested this so hard ever since that birthday sighting and I was going to write "Thought that was you again"... BUT IT IS YOU You both look soooo freaking beautiful
  23. Ofc but doesn't this rule apply for albums that are actually coming out? Like, not in 2323 or whatever non-existent future release date?
  24. Yup, I've noticed it as well. I'm part of the tiny head gang and I'm glad that I have such gorgeous representation
