I don't know why everyone on Twitter acts like they know what's going on in her life. Someone will say something with no back-up, and everyone else will just believe it.

 

First, stans were saying that she's moving because "people can't stop leaking her address and music". She's probably just selling because her home is worth 3× what it was when she bought it, and she could get out of LA and fund future projects with that money. Her address has been out for years, her fans just want someone to be mad at over nothing. They blame "leakers" for literally anything, lol.

 

Now, they're saying she "ruined her voice" by smoking weed, and that's why she has a vape in that new pic(over-analysing, much?). She has a lighter next to the vape, so she's probably still smoking something, and either way she didn't ruin her voice with weed. She just has a soft voice that gets easily tired by the technique she uses, and it's understandable that she struggles with some songs, especially towards the end of concerts.

 

Like, I understand speculation. I understand being bored and wanting discussion, we're all bored at this point. But some people just make shit up and spread it around just to talk about something and it's weird. Make it stop, lol.

God I wish we had more people with your mindset

Not only in fandoms but in real life and in the whole world

I don't even know you lol

But yeah

i think she has tons of potential as  DIRECTOR, because she has a vision and she does everything in her power to make that vision come to life. but she cannot write a good script for the life of her and neither can she act. if she accepted she's not great at everything and used help with that, i think she could make a good film someday.

 

but i agree that she should focus on making a good album and rollout, and making movies seperally. she just can't help but wanting to do everything at the same time...

Exactly! She has what it takes and just needs some advice and help from others, now Imagine if she shared her creative visions with other directors... she could be unstoppable.

I saw a TikTok saying that if you listen to unreleased songs, (not even just MM3 but I Scream etc) "you are NOT a fan". I hate these people so much!

Right? When an artist is barely releasing anything, and a ton of material leaks all of a sudden, how are people expected not to listen to it? Calling them bad fans for craving more music makes no sense, and I feel like people who say that stuff secretly listen to leaks anyway, so..

 

Obviously it's not cool to steal and leak music. But equating fans who listen to leaks to the hackers themselves has always seemed so dumb. I mean, it's not like they can send the music back at that point, lol.

They need to get over themselves and realize that wanting to listen to leaked material is natural and not something for other fans to dictate. Drives me nuts 

I also think that Melanie mentioning how she's not making money or something cause of how her songs leak has only encouraged them.

With all due respect to Melanie, if that is what she said, leakers aren't why she's not making money. It's because she's signed to a terrible label(not her fault), never releases anything, and when she does it's geared towards a very specific audience.

 

If anything, leakers are increasing her popularity. MM3 leaks have gained her a ton of popularity by themselves, and I Scream has been trending on TikTok for weeks apparently. Her unreleased music is a lot of her best.

Totally agree. If you want more information, I'm pretty sure it was in her justification for NFTs that she posted on Instagram. Piper Sweeney did a really good job analyzing it.

tbh i think itd be smart as FUCK if an artist that has unreleased songs leaking, get popular on things like tiktok, to then release a compilation of leaks and other previously unreleased songs

There are true gems in unreleased material, although I understand there could be tons of reasons why songs sometimes are not released.

Melanie literally could've made like 4 alternate stories from Cry Baby putting and removing songs from the original 13, and using so many from the outtakes. Jumprope, Schizo, Haunted, Mistakes, Psycho Lovers, Night Mime, Coloring Book, Zzzz, Ring Pop, Arts & Crafts, You Love I, A Thousand Words, Trophy Wife, Rough Love, Run, Rocking Horse etc, even the corny I Scream all could add a lot to the story if selected by chapters and combined with some from the standard edition, or whatever.

Maybe if she did that, she could've explored the Cry Baby theme way further and she would've moved on by now

this is why i want an expanded edition for the anniversary of Cry Baby soooo badly

we could get an 'extended cut' version of the story with the extra tracks added

plus i NEED Birthing Addicts and SeeSaw in official physical copies and HQ digital audio

 a JOKE I guess? "Melanie's Version" like, she's not in a Taylor Swift situation of re-recording albums, who would have the time to try and put that in Wikipedia?

youd be surprised at how many people would change and edit wikipedia pages just in attempt to cause a stir

especially in the Kesha fandom, Animals would try to add in leaked/confirmed song titles as a new song or album during the 2014-2016 drought

I've always hated alphabet boy with a passion, and I think that play date is overplayed(But I still love it)

However, training wheels is so soft and cute & I love the bridge
