I guess I'm paranoid that someone will call me triggered or say im tearing her apart, when in reality I 100% love what she's doing right now but just feel urked by the delivery of some of it I see all of those kinds of people as being two steps away from the Gwyneth Paltrow Goop pipeline, but it's the most irritating when it's someone that I'm actually interested in keeping up with. Especially if they used to be a more down to earth persona like Melanie, that quickly turned into the "I'm on a higher level of evolution than you lower life forms" shtick. It kind of gives off narcissistic vibes to me after a certain point too, you know? Either way, I doubt she's being serious with that 99% comment. Girl has been spending a shit ton of time in front of a camera lately, for starters. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iJoshicus 188 Posted April 21, 2023 With all these AI audio things, I need someone to make Melanie Martinez sing “Simon Says” by Allie X. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a CryBaby song. 5 Quote Banks Billie Eilish Evanescence Florence + the Machine Grimes Halsey Lady Gaga Lana Del Rey Lights Lorde MARINA Melanie Martinez Poppy Purity Ring Sky Ferreira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always though this… I’m glad I’m not the only one sensing this Melanie vibe in that song Same with Poisoned With Love by Neon Hitch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portals just has no skips for me. I'm having issues connecting to some of Lana's new songs. Idk pls don't arrest me On 4/19/2023 at 1:04 PM, Coloringbooks said: Oh I fully agree with this. Lana's put out some great songs in recent years but I don't feel connected to her recent output like I am with her older music. But I'm a huge Melanie stan of all eras, so I like Portals more as well. Because like I've said in the Ocean Blv thread, Lana has been singing her poetry rather than giving actual melody and making music. I love her music usually and I get that she prides herself on what she's saying, but girl, would it kill you to make things sound more melodic and fun? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to be a Lana stan back in the BTD era but after Ultraviolence I just left the ship. I wonder if she’ll ever top songs like This Is What Makes Us Girls and Carmen for example bc that album remains untouched im sorry 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ButterflyBones 2,238 Posted April 21, 2023 5 hours ago, 111 said: @Elle pls delete this thread Anyway, has anyone else seen the TikTok stans fighting over Mel's vocal damage? The ones who try to talk about it get treated like they're just shitting on her now, but I remember when all of this first started years ago, and no one acted that sensitive about it then. If anything, people were genuinely worried about her! Her fanbase has gotten so obsessive that they won't even admit when she's injured, like it's some sort of insult. I just think if people keep trying to pass off her extreme vocal damage as "having a hard time in the mask"(like this hasn't been going on since 2016), "she's quitting smoking", "she's just emotional", etc., she'll never actually realise how bad it's gotten and she'll just keep pushing it. At this rate, by 2025 she'll just have to use backing tracks and won't even be able to keep up with her own music. That's not my problem of course, but I think it's alright to express concern that a singer might not even be able to sing one day if they don't change something now. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You assumed there would be any rationality in any stan zone, especially TikTok. I thought I heard some issues with her voice, but dismissed it, seeing as I don't ever listen to her live shows; the only time I view them is on my YouTube shorts (where they pop up). Maybe she can fix it with coaching? I'm ignorant to any health conditions or smoking she partakes in.... 0 Quote I'm Poppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just find it irritating(even though this is petty compared to most TikTok misinfo) when people start spamming every discussion about her voice with shit like "it isn't damaged, she's just sick!(for like 7 years straight now? Doubt it)" and take that as the facts/start repeating it everywhere. It just further kills discussion in the fanbase, and it can't be good for Melanie's career when she's literally breaking her voice and all of her teenage fans are gaslighting her into thinking it's still perfect. I mean, if she's fine with pushing herself until she can't go anymore, then whatever. But lord, I would not want that to be my life! It makes me feel bad for her. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
