Cypher

tbh, let's give it to Blackpink.

Pass

I noticed that Jesy was missing from some of the promo and signatures! But I also heard she's been sick, which is why she hasn't been at any events.

Where's Jesus going?! Is he paying Satan a visit?

Can't argue with talent! But tbh, I do hope Little Mix gets it next week!

Can I vote for Kylie to hit #1 this week and then Little Mix next week? ?

Trump can finally go eff off.

Disco sweat! ?

Ava? Is that really you?

I will never be a vegan. If eating meat kills me, it was nice knowing y'all!

I don't think my parents were actually that strict. I held extremely high standards for myself growing up, so if anything, I have self-induced pressure towards success. But I guess that's why I don't relate to Paris' story. As a kid, I always used logic to explain my stance or dreams. I would have long-term plans drawn out so my parents couldn't disagree with my ideas.

I don't necessarily agree with all the treatment she received, especially the parts with grown men is too much and wildly unchecked. The part that's self-induced is her behaviour prior. On a personal level, I didn't act out the way she did, so my parents never considered sending me to boarding school or any other type of correctional facility. I do know someone close to me that did. She was sent to a therapeutic boot camp in the desert where she had to go through some pretty physically strenuous activity. Luckily she didn't have to deal with any questionable behaviour by staff. After, she said it was one of the toughest times of her life, feeling isolated and alone, but she also speaks of emerging grown and now has a better understanding of how to reach kids in today's society who are going through a similar mindset to her when she was a kid. She now teaches parents how to be better equipped to deal with their kids so that these new parents don't have to resort to boarding school. Point of my logic: There's blame to be placed on both sides, but the perspective of the outcome is where my respect lies. To me, this whole documentary is trying to build sympathy, but in my friend's case, she builds respect from her experiences. That's why I wish she went more into how those experience drove her to chase and achieve her dream. From what I can understand, she chased her dream simply because she likes to earn money. I think it's explicitly stated at least twice.

All right, I finally got to the "kidnap/boarding school" bit. Let's be honest, if her parents told her she was being sent to boarding school, do you really think she would've stayed home and have gone willingly? Because of her entitled behaviour, she really didn't give her parents too many options. That being said, her parents also weren't very well equipped with dealing with Paris' entitlement, which may have stemmed from the parents themselves. As for the treatment in the boarding school, yeah solitary confinement sucks, but she also put herself in there based on her actions. She keeps playing the victim when in fact, she got herself into this situation. I really don't get how I'm supposed to sympathize with her when it was her own decisions and actions that led to this consequence. Just because you're white and rich, doesn't mean you're above society rules and standards, but it seems some people don't get that. And before any hardknocks me at Paris being a woman, my opinion stands true for men as well. If a man acted the same way she did and went through the same thing, I still wouldn't sympathize with him because it's the actions of one's self that drives these consequences. By the end of the documentary, I still think she's a great business woman and knows how to work the media, but I don't feel sympathy for anything she went through. The melodrama isn't document worthy and the "exposé" of her time at boarding school is just her playing the victim, which was largely self-induced. I would have much rather watched a documentary about how she built her empire because then we would get a chance to see her working hard to earn what she's achieved, which is how the documentary starts. Why tf is she famous? I still don't know why tf she's famous.

I'll have to give it another shot from that point tomorrow! I can only take so much in one day.

Hah, no. The part that irks me is the "I can outgay this guy right now." But I've never been a fan of him, so this just cements my general apathy towards him.

I finally caved and watched it. First of all, thank god she has a normal, non-pitched up voice. I thought she genuinely talked at that pitch and it's always bugged the crap out of me. I'm going to Spoiler my thoughts because it's quite numerous, but it all bubbles down to my annoyance of her and her lack of recognizing privilege. I do believe that Paris is an extraordinary business woman who has been able to work the image the public cemented her to be. I don't think she's a slouch when it comes to understanding the market and exercising her image. Thank you hard work and privilege.

I've never been a fan of John Mayer and this really isn't helping...

I didn't watch/read how the news was given, but yeah, I agree; being a virgin doesn't make you above others strictly by merit, but owning it is just as great as the next person who owns their sexual life. Be comfortable with your decisions.

tbh, props. I can't think of anybody else in Hollywood who can say the same thing.

She did! What if both of them demoed it. What it would be to hear both of their voices.

Did Bonnie ever record a version of Naked that appeared on Ava's album? For some reason, I remember her having a song called Naked from back in the day, but I could easily be confusing it with the many many other songs called Naked by the many many other artists.

tbh, Miranda could have easily been derailed early on and gone the route of some other child stars, but she's always seemed to keep a pretty solid foot on the ground. I applaud her for choosing higher education and afaik being pretty much problem/drama-free. While I do hope the rest of the songs surface, I also hope she's able to get back in the studio and record some new material she enjoys and find the next step in her career.

gdi, I thought I had more dislikes. I only have 303 dislikes. Let's start the #CancelCypher trend.

The Target cover is way better!
