    Got to say, Lemmy doesn’t feel like a hivemind-type place the way Reddit sometimes does — at least not to me.

    If people love her, that’s fine. I’d say she’s definitely more talented than a lot of vacuous pop out there. But the level of adoration does seem a bit cult-like.

    Not sure if anyone saw her on Graham Norton, but she came across as a bit self-involved, and it was painful watching the other guests fawn over her. Lewis Capaldi, with his down-to-earth humour and unfiltered honesty (plus his mild Tourette’s), was a total breath of fresh air in comparison.

      She’s talented in the same way that McDonald’s is talented. She’s popular and great at marketing, but her singing and songwriting is not of any real substance
