Also ABCDEFU doesn’t even follow the nursery rhyme, it’s just letters yelled at the same pitch

I’m not gonna say that it’s a great song but it’s bitchy fun in the same way Girlfriend is. Kelly Clarkson agrees with me and she has impeccable taste.

My client is very, very stupid. Yes he is just continuously an idiot. He threw that phone while it was recording hoping to capture his favourite artist, who he would never willingly hurt in any way, up close. THEN, ashamed of being so stupid, he made up and told others a preposterous story about how that was not the case, again being very stupid in doing so.

Do not blame my client Your Honor; blame the educational system of this country.

Yeah that tracks, I mostly remember when she got a big hero entrance in the "HEY GUYS THERE'S A REAL POP STAR HERE" vein at an Ubisoft E3 show to promote one of the Just Dance games and she got zero reaction. I had no idea who she was but I also wasn't even trying to follow pop music at the time so I had an excuse.

They brought her in to perform for like five people at the end of a Big Brother season too. Maybe she's just the Most Available pop star, but I've never seen anyone get excited whenever Bebe Rexha pops up.

She has similar energy to Keanu Reeves or Tony Slattery in the UK in the 90s. The Keanu thing was always "Keanu gets work because Keanu answers the phone" and the joke about Slattery was that his answering machine message was "I'll do it". So the idea of her just being someone so hungry for success that she'll take any booking fits with my view of her pretty well.

Bebe was a songwriter first so she’s more like in the same category as your Julia Michaels or Bonnie McKees, but with a little more sticktuitivity than either of them.

We need to go back to 90s-style soundtracks. I want to hear the Jonas Brothers original composition about the tortured soul of Robert Oppenheimer.

It's a piece of JUNK!
"Sucky Verse Syndrome" has been a thing for years, probably at its worst in the mid-2000s. I don't know exactly what triggered producers to realize they were allowed to simply not write the parts of a song they didn't want to write, but I think that's essentially what happened.

Also if you go back to the late '90s there seemed to be exactly the opposite trend, where choruses would repeat way too many times with way too long outros, like they felt obligated to pad the CD out to as close to 79 minutes as possible.
