Another hit
this ain't... this new?
Right.. Like either this is a remake or just so much like his other songs and songs from this era
I love his voice but this made my stomach hurt it's so stale
I love this I think it definitely got potential to be another hit for him it's real catchy.
Meh.
What's he interpolating in the chorus?? I can hear the song but can't put my finger on it. It's the "oh, oh, ohhh."

We have heard this before, same old Bruno
He might be the most over-rated artist. Good performer to watch on stage and he's talented but his music's sucked for a few eras now.
Bruno is DEF a super talented artist and knows wtf he is doing :uhh:
https://x.com/henriettasnacks/status/2009649515444261082
Exactly. He's never been creative, just a great mimicker.
Barbz, please stay out of here talking about "mimickers". When your fave is a 100% copy of the REAL queen of rap :uhh:

yeah although shim did NOTHING like nicki's whole "Zolanski" persona thing
(in fact, no rapper had before)
one could probably argue Nicole Scherzinger coulda been the inspiration for that.

There is nothing original about icki. From her music to her big botched ass
I'm sure this will be a little hit, but I'm a little tired of this sound from King.
Throwback!
We get it.
:udontlookok:
Also the song is just...not good.

Of course it'll be a hit. He's mastered his formula of pandering and he's privileged

How is he "privileged"?
A non black straight man
Oh. Because he's not black.
Quote from: RAY7 on January 09, 2026, 08:54:57 PMA non black straight man
its not just his ethnicity or sexual orientation itself
it's the spaces he occupies. his racial ambiguity mixed with the "nigga lite" music
he knows this. which is why he makes it a point to make sure he shares the spotlight with actual Black people
its a nice gesture but it also keeps the heat and lenses off of him
That man is more talented than most of your faves. Let's not pretend he made it here in privilege :dead:
but to his credit, i do feel the inspiration is genuine
he seems to have a genuine love for the music he does.
if he doesn't actually hold it close to his heart, he's a damn good actor
Because the industry is big on rewarding talent these days huh
This is boring for a return single and a stadium tour launch
I love Bruno but im a lil IFFY on this one. Might grow on me.
I mean Bruno has 9 #1 songs, more than MOST, so I guess he felt like a break lolz. Knowing Bruno this might go #1 too tho

Bruno is clearly talented, full of charisma and is very likable IMO
i actually enjoy a few of his songs
but there are such things as "contributing factors".
that's at least how i feel. i don't feel he's "untalented".
i just understand why people say he benefits from his racial ambiguity doing "Black music".
but if someone is saying he has no talent i wouldn't agree with that
when Bow says "privilege" she is literally referring to Bruno's ambiguity
it's a proven fact that racially ambiguous people can have an upper hand in certain situations and spaces.
companies even use it as a marketing tool for advertising. again, this is a fact. not my opinion. i can't stress this enough.
i mean it makes sense. when a Black person can look at someone and say "you look like u could be my cousin"
and a Latino person can say the same
and an Indian person can say the same
and an Asian person can say the same
and even with White people, people like that can seem "safer" than their unambiguously Black counterparts.
this undoubtedly can increase someone's ability to REACH larger audiences.
Bruno has that type of look 100%. most likely due to the fact that he actually has a diverse family background.
that type of person dipping into a type of music that is seen as "Black music" will then push their work out to larger audiences, thus creating the "privilege" Bow is talking about.
i really hopes this makes sense cuz i kinda hate i had to spell this out.
sdnjsjdnsjndsjnsjsdn
this does NOT automatically mean he is untalented btw.
Just played it on the system at home and it's already better. One thing Bruno is ALWAYS gonna do is SING! I think he's the best male R&B/Pop vocalist

Do Jews have privilege in the industry?

probably the most privilege

i honestly dont see an issue with him sticking to his style
kinda like Tyler Perry
if u found a formula and it works every single time why fix what's not broken...
if ur fans love it and expect it continue catering to them
And Bruno definitely doesn't release the same song. Sounds like people who don't know music. I think what Bruno has been doing consistently is either doing eras or genres. 24k album was 80s all day, silk sonic was 60s/70s soul inspired, and this is more pop

But what's the matter if he can back the shit UP??
Also, I only read the first couple sentences. I wasn't gonna read all dat SHIT
Ewwww I just don't like him anymore.
This song isn't horrible but it's stale as fuck.
mad people have been saying that bruno releases the same song for years now. and he does (music that is highly indistinguishable). he's talented but the music has become mediocre, yet majorly marketable hence his major success.. similar to taylor swift.

Is there a reason you mentioned this? Jw

Icki took advantage of the queer community and then SHAT on them. At least Bruno isn't shitting on them :unsure:
#1 on iTunes
#1 on Spotify
#2 on Apple Mu
Yall are always damn WRONG
They said it would flop?
The people love it . Just a lot of bad taste around here
people in here said he was overrated, not that he was a flop artist
if anything the song taking off still speaks to that narrative
some in here even predicted the song would do well, as they critiqued him
so technically they weren't "wrong".

But it's a weird STRETCH to say what you are saying. The man is talented. Is doing what he loves. And rich as FUCK.
Stop being jealous fags

He is overrated.
Female artists are ripped to shreds, releasing the same-sounding songs over and over all the time. Why is he different?
He is very talented and a great performer. No one is jealous.

i never said he was "overrated".
so ur loud and wrong again
but now that i know ur in the business of defending the rich and famous by calling everyone jealous
(solid talking point btw)
imma need ur assistance in some of the Tyler Perry threads on here
:caramelapple:
Maybe he can assist you into a bathtub first
(https://gifbin.com/bin/072010/1278497075_monique_vs_salad.gif)
There's no doubt he's talented and can make catchy hits, but this song is something he could have done a decade ago
https://youtu.be/iPUmE-tne5U?si=Dz5W0VqcGYAcrrIa
Ch.. The song is tired
R&b fans learn from an early age that awful songs are constantly topping the charts and getting awards
If you like it that's fine tho
Meanwhile we drag people like ciara etc for reusing sounds and themes

I have all of his albums and none of them give the same tea. The sudden hate is crazy. :hmph:
The song is cute, but safe for him.
I kinda knew what it was gonna sound like before I hit play.
Whatever he's doing, it's working because this has HIT written all over it.
