So occasionally I like to creep around old forums that I've been kicked out of. Just to read the stupid ass comments I see sometimes. Then I stumbled upon a rather scathing review of Demi's song. As much as I like to believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion, there are something that just needs to be stated about this review from one OMGitsJoeJonas. This person is from @adjupdates. So this should give you an idea about the mentality over there.
“the song sux and the video is just her standing there in a desert. her vocals suck too. she can do so much better in every aspect of this song/video and she has done before. this song doesn't deserve recognition.”
You know, I'm all for opinion but in all honesty, I really hate it when people just claim “the song sucks” I mean anyone can make a declarative statement and just leave it at that. Watch I can do it to. “Cheetos are good” that's my declarative statement. Is it a fact? No it's not. But then again I guess you'll have that one dip shit wanting to rain on someone's parade. And the video wasn't meant to be flashy or filled with flare or what not. She went for the bleached out look to match the song. She went for substance over style. Which doesn't seem to be your forte, and that's fine. But don't insult something you know nothing of. As far as deserving recognition, well that's your opinion and I will leave it at that. But
“the video was just her standing there. but aside from the video, the thing i love about demi is in her slow songs like Don't Forget and Catch Me she always had her powerful moment at the end and she didn't have it in this one. if she did I’d probably like the song a lot more. i don't think the vocal thing is an excuse, she could of re-recorded it.”
The video is of her telling a story. It's not just her standing there. If you listened to the interviews she explains the meaning OF the video. If you're looking for cheap imagery and bells and whistles then go look at some contrived bull shit like Katy Perry's Last Friday Night. This wasn't meant to BE filled with bells and whistles. It was meant to be her telling her story. Nothing more nothing less. As far as no powerful moment is concerned? I guess you weren't listening to the same song I was listening to.
“she wanted her vocals to suck? oh okay then. lol but seriously, this song is a let down for me tbh and i've been a fan since 08, stanned her like crazy in 09, and now i'm just like 'meh'. i admire lovatitcs dedication but i don't like lovatics for a number of reasons lmfao, but still she's number one so there must be something good about it that i'm missing.”
There's a difference between sucking and rasp. Maybe you're use to pointless screeching from hacks like Courtney Fucking Love but this is not meant to be one of those songs. Seriously why do you comment on things you know nothing about? I'm all for different opinions but when you can't back it up, you just sound fucking stupid. Seriously.
“she should of rerecorded it and used that version then. it's like she wanted her vocals to be weak or something...”
And you confuse WEAK with rasp. She even stated and the majority agrees that the original record had that “Pained” sound to it that gave that song the extra meaning.
“aywr had the point where the rain came down and see no more had the part where everything blew up. they were both building up to something and shitscraperdidn't have that strong point, it didn't build up or go anywhere, same as the song.”
Lol I really like how you claim that you're not hating on Demi yet you pretty much insult her artistic intentions and her reason behind her artistic intentions. You not liking it, is one thing. You insulting her for telling a story pretty much makes you sound like a spiteful bitch. And not to hate on Joe Jonas or anything like that, but the “part where everything blew up” is about as stupid and meaningless as a fucking Michael bay flick. Give me a fucking break.
“i understand that and yeah this song is emotional, but i'd rather have a song with good vocals than a song with her crying in it, no matter how emotional it's meant to be, and that's just my opinion.”
I don't respect this statement. I really don't. Just because you say “it's your opinion” doesn't mean your statement isn't ignorance ridden. I understand you have a certain type of aspect you are looking for, but what I can't stand are ignorant people who insult other people's REASONS for doing something. There's better ways to state this. But you just come off sounding like an insensitive bitch.
“i don't want demi to sound the same, what i'm saying is demi is so good at doing the strong build up in songs and they always translate into the videos. Don't Forget had that amazing strong part at the end with the rain in the video, and it really worked and was amazing.”
Ok so if you don't want her to sound the same, then what up with this pointless review? Because in all honesty, there wasn't much difference between Here We Go Again, And Don't Forget. The two albums for the most part are pretty linear and similar sounding. And not to bash the video but in aspect, they're kind of similar to “shit scraper” as your dumb ass stated oh so elloquently. So what up with this complaint? It makes no sense. It just seems that you're looking for more flashier videos and what not or more “colorful” videos. Which is fine. But then this video isn't for you. And it doesn't mean it “sucks” it just means it isn't for you. I hate it when people try to pass off their opinions as facts.
“yeah, it all depends what you're into. when i was stanning demi i'd listen to here we go again over and over and my mum would be like 'she screetches it's terrible turn it off' lmfao so it depends if you're into it tbh. lovatics annoy me because as soon as demi comes out of treatment, suddenly every lovatic has an eating disorder or cuts and it's so obvious some of them make it up. it just annoys me, but that's a whole different subject lmfao.”
Ok you know what? You lost me at this point. I mean I was laughing at your previous comments before, but now you pretty much sound like some fucking inconsiderate cunt rag. You know WHY people don't come forward and admit to having an eating disorder? Because they don't want people to know. It's not something that will be accepted by everyone. Especially those with self harm issues that will be looked like they were some kind of freak. Can you account for EVERY incident? Or are you just pulling random shit out of your ass? I am literally offended by hearing this from you. I don't care if you like her or hate or whatever. But there is just excuse for you to claim that people “made up” something as serious an eating disorder or self harm issues.
I was going to take it easy on you but at this point, you just come off sounding like such a fucking duplicitous bitch that I just feel like you don't deserve to have any sort of sympathy. So people are now making up the fact that they have an eating disorder and they are cutting. Right? People are just making this up? Do you have proof of this alleged statement? Do you have any sort of factual proof to back this up? What annoys me are hateful fucking bitches like you who have the nerve to accuse someone of LYING about having something as serious as an eating disorder. No I didn't think you have proof to support this claim. So until you muster up some sort of collective evidence that every claim of having an eating disorder out there is invalid, shut the fuck up you ignorant cunt.
You duplicitous fucking bitch. Go crawl in a hole and die you inconsiderate troglodyte.
