Random, but am I the only one who finds the K-12 backup dancers and their costumes a little obnoxious at times? The tours were really well done, but some of it is just.. idk, cringey.

God, that Twitter account is such a fucking disease, lol. I have no idea what they're even talking about in 90% of their recent posts and replies.

At this point? Doubt it. She just tweeted about the situation, too. The original is a song about the empowerment of women though, so we still may get part 2 soon.

If she's in it and it doesn't do well, at least it'll be Bella's failure and not Melanie's, lol.

Today, probably early afternoon or any minute now. If Melanie is featured, it may be that they're gauging the success of Bella's single to see whether or not it's a good time to release any MM3 singles.

She and Bella have definitely been around eachother a lot lately, the timing would add up if it's true. We'll see tomorrow, I guess. At least it would mean we're moving forward again and can hope for MM3 singles soon.

People are thinking Melanie might be on the new Bella Poarch single(Build-A-Bitch Pt.2). Personally I'm not sure I'm that desperate for new content, lol..

Her albums chart though, and this single might too if it's good enough and gets released at the right time. I can definitely see something like Sirens charting, and she could definitely have more songs featured on soundtrack(like Carousel on AHS) if this album is marketed correctly.

I see what you mean, but she hasn't been "flopping". Her releases are pretty successful, just not marketed very well by her label. And I think my comment is being misunderstood. What I meant was, her album and singles will have a wider success if she holds back the release until the pop scene calms down a little. She may not be in competition with artists like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, but that isn't the issue, it's just a simple matter of trying to attract the most attention possible towards her album. Her single would get drowned on the charts if she put it out right now.

Her album won't have room to breathe if it gets released right now, and the single would get a lot of distraction from the bigger artists putting out new music this summer. Besides, I bet the stans who keep saying they're "giving up on her" will be the first ones to stream MM3, and the average listener isn't the type to keep up with release dates anyway.

And although I agree on waiting to release the single and LP at a better time, I'm not sure that her staying silent about the album is working in her favor. It's causing some impatience and I'm afraid that'll only cause more hacks and harassment from certain "fans". People love to blame Melanie's lack of interaction on the leaks, but the leaks happened because of the lack of interaction, and the lack of interaction happened because a lot of this fandom has been abusive to her for years. It goes in a circle. Hoping we just don't get any more setbacks and she's able to put out new music ASAP.

We've just got Sky Ferreira, Halsey, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and many more releasing fresh singles and albums, and it's not going to stop there. Atlantic Records is most likely pushing back major releases like MM3 until things quiet down again in the pop industry.

Well they have a new dog apparently, but there's still no news of the single or album, and it seems like Melanie is just ignoring the situation at this point. I'm usually a pretty patient person but there's something so irritating about all of this

They just had to go for that generic pop single $. Don't get me wrong, I love The Bakery, but Test Me is by far the better song. It would have made for a much more interesting video. Personally I was expecting something similar to Cellophane by FKA Twigs, with the aerial hoop instead of the pole. Would've been great.

Same, Cry Baby is iconic but the looks from that era weren't all my favorite. It'd be fun to see what she would have done with the visuals now, almost 10 years later. Kind of wish we could've gotten a livestream produced similarly to the one for K-12. It's a let down that she wasn't able to make the Play Date or Test Me videos too, but I have a feeling somehow one day we'll figure out what she had in mind. She might use the treatments she wrote for future projects, anyway.

Not sure why we would need that when we've already gotten like 500 this year. Even if we weren't waiting for her to release something, it'd still get old having the same video posted every week, just with her in a different knit crop top and hat.

How many fucking videos do we need of them trotting around cows and grass fields before we get something useful? It's been stale..

I'm guessing (hoping?) that the manicure she was showing off has something to do with a photoshoot or video that we might get soon. It's definitely way more decorative than functional anyway, and I'm pretty sure the last few times she's showed off manicures like this it was for something she was filming.

Apparently she unfollowed everyone on Twitter. Could be for several reasons, but I'm going to reach here and hope it has something to do with the start of the MM3 era. She has been trying to release a single for nearly 4 months now..

Damn, even SZA came through before Melanie, lmao. MM3 coming 2026

At this point I'm pretty sure 90% of her online stans are 12 year olds. All they do is talk shit about everything she does, call her ugly, spread MM3 rumors, and complain about leaks. Just saw an entire thread of people trolling her and saying all kinds of crap over those candid pics and it was so fucking odd. I look exactly like her without makeup too, they got me feeling ugly as hell, lol. Anyway, this is why she doesn't interact. This fanbase is the worst to her.

I swear to god sometimes it seems like her own stans hate her. So many comments on Twitter are dragging her so hard over those candid pics from the other day, calling her ugly and all kinds of shit. It's weird. There were even people blaming her eye bags(which are natural and have been there for years) on leakers, lol... This fandom, man.

I highly doubt she's career-suicidal enough to do another Cry Baby album, and I also doubt that she's ignorant to all of the criticism going on in the fandom right now. She has to know that people are getting tired of her doing the same old thing, and honestly she seems tired of it herself. I think in the future we'll probably be seeing a whole new side of her, and I'm here for that.

Luckily she said herself that Cry Baby will not be a continuing character after MM3, and I get the feeling that she's going to evolve her into some sort of metaphysical being like Lilith in order to bring her story to a close. I just want to hear straight from Melanie's mouth what's going on with this album being pushed back again. At this point, updates would be just as good as getting a single.

She's always going to be extremely ambitious, maybe too much sometimes, that's true. It worked for her before though, I'm sure with the right direction and the right team she could make it work again. It's not like K-12 was a complete failure, anyway. She can't just release whatever she wants(especially old scrapped music) if Atlantic won't let her, either. Besides, I don't think she wants a lot of that stuff to be listed in her professional discography.
