CJ Baran is an amazing producer, I love the stuff he did with Allie and Mars too

You're acting as if Melanie was breaking into her fan's houses and robbing them of everything they own  Melanie is not broke, but that doesn't mean she's not allowed to explore different ways to make money. It's kinda the whole point of marketing as an artist. If you don't wanna spend $200 on a bracelet, then don't. Nobody is forcing you to. A lot of fans think the prices are fair and bought them within literal seconds of being posted, so obviously there was a market for them. I mean, imagine your favorite artist making a 1 piece custom item that only you own. I think it's similar to how artists sell signed CDs, it's true that anyone could grab a pen and copy their signature but the fact that it's autographed by someone's favorite artist is what makes people interested and what makes them so expensive.

Why won't she sign some K-12/AS/CB CDs and put them on her webstore? I would definitely be interested in buying those! Plus it would get sales up. Hope she does this for her next album
 
And side note: Are the After School CDs available in the USA yet? I bought mine second hand when they first came out so I never checked. But that would be a good way to gain some revenue or maybe a physical edition of Copycat/Fire Drill?

Stop using this "cancel culture doesn't work" bs. Nobody sane in this thread expects every person on the planet to stop streaming her music, we are calling her out on her bullshit. Also, this is us talking on Lanaboards which is a very small website compared to other social media. I don't think we're bringing that much attention to the situation to people who don't already know about it. And would you rather us say...nothing? Also, outrage does work and can make change. If we let it slide that she works with Dr. Luke, more artists will be comfortable working with him and start giving him a platform to hurt more women. Even if it does give her more attention in the short run, in the grand scheme people will just remember her as a rape apologist who chose money over morals, it's not like her getting attention for working with a rapist is giving her a core fanbase  Sure, she can continue her career all she wants but that by no means says it will be as successful as it could be if she wasn't known for being problematic. Building a career on controversies doesn't work well in the pop music industry especially as a female, maybe YouTube and TikTok would be a better place for her if that's what she's into. Idc if you stream her music illegally, but don't get mad at us for discussing and criticizing her decision to support rapists publicly.

Agree with you here, you’re absolutely right. I’m all for open dialogue and disagreements unless it’s a topic like rape? Like seriously, what is there to disagree on? Kim is a bad person for working with a rapist and if you disagree there’s really no discussion needed to be held. It’s like if you disagree in any way I don’t think highly of you at all and I’m not sorry to say it 
 
Also my last post here. I’m just gonna stop talking about Kim and hope she falls off after this whole drama  Sorry to anyone who I might’ve offended. I’ll continue browsing the non-argument side of Lanaboards like usual.

I did the math and Melanie made a total of $7,598 from the jewelry  This film is about to have budget I guess! Congrats to the people who were able to grab something, I was looking to buy from her but the prices were a little too high for me lol.
