Astoldbykenya - Im sorry these Tiny Desk performances SUCK

I made a tiktok some months back about how Blake Lively is always getting flack for the plantation wedding and Ryan Reynolds gets to get off scott free like he wasn't the one marrying her on that platation. I had no clue at the time that a new Deadpool movie or that It Ends With Us was coming out when I made the tiktok, I was just chattin shit while doing my makeup. Now the video is resurfacing cus of all the Blake controversy and I'm just sat her like ".........no. This wasn't supposed to be for that." My video continuously going viral in this Blake dog pile is reminding me of your Hailey Bieber moment, like do not use my content to bully this woman!

The only reason Michelle Yeoh got that role is bc Jon Chu is the director and his mom is besties w Michelle, so she’s a family friend to Jon. Even Michelle admitted she can’t sing in the interviews I watched lol

With Michelle Yeoh i think it was mainly overlooked cause she played the character so well but they need to release a wicked and i without Michelle im getting tired of skipping the first minute lool i remember Michelle admitting she couldn't sing and Cynthia had to help her lool i couldn't imagine singing that bad and then having Cynthia coming in straight after 🥴🤮

Vlogmas is helping me realize that I don’t need Twitter anymore. People are too ignorant and disrespectful. It’s not fun anymore. My grandparents used to drive down south and couldn’t stop to use the restroom because they didn’t know if it was safe.

That civil rights discourse pissed me off so bad likehat are you talking about? People used to live in the worst conditions possible, black people could not use public services but white people were able to go into black spaces and do whatever they wanted and nothing happened to them at all. It’s very annoying like read a book or watch a documentary , learn something bruh

naya C

2024-12-24 00:50:28 +0000 UTC

The reason why this generation is dismissive of race relations is we have so many privileges now that we don’t even realize. Black people still have to look behind our shoulders, but not like our parents did. Like our grandparents did. Like their parents did. We’re spoiled!!!!!!

I'm assuming you're talking about Sabrina Carpenters tiny desk and yes it sounds pitchy but also Sabrina can't sing for real lol I saw her on tour earlier this year and she sounds the same, it's just easy to hide behind reverb and a crowd. Basically everyone who can't sing for real sounds bad. But there's so many good tiny desk performances but real singers that don't sound that way. Also Doechii's Tiny desk has been the best this year hands down.

It really pisses me off hearing people judging civil rights leaders and groups in the liberation movement telling them what they should or shouldn’t have done in the era of Jim Crow. Meanwhile the same people aren’t involved in any activists movement, organizing, community work, and they can’t even fathom boycotting simple things like Starbucks coffee.

Also I don't think anyone is too hot on any of the movies in the best picture lineup this year. IMO sing sing would be a great win but A24 fucking sucks with their campaigning. All the front runners that have hit streaming,etc. has been met with vitriol Emilia Perez, Anora, conclave. We'll just have to see what the industry goes for.

Kayla Sanders

2024-12-23 06:16:12 +0000 UTC

kenya i didn’t take you seriously when you said some twitter/internet takes are so stupid that they make you wanna kill yourself, i was like ‘damn girl is it that serious?’ but that just shows you to stfu before it happens to you because i wanted to jump off a BRIDGE when i saw some fucking tweet quoting a picture of a black woman getting harassed by white monkeys for being in a donut shop circa 1960s and it got a quote tweet that i have to quote “I will never disrespect them. I just hate that we spent so much time fighting to be in spaces where we weren't wanted.” i wanted to DIE when I read this, and it got like 70k likes…the age of anti-intellectualism is not just upon us, we are so deep in. like this really tipped me over the edge. besides being loud and wrong, it grates my fucking nerves when people pretend civil rights’ activists or black peoples existing back then was all just for some moot point, like everything we got isn’t thanks to them! oh im tearing up in anger i have to delete this app baddd edit: didn’t know you were gonna talk about this in the video, i can always depend on you having your ear to the street LOL anyways my skin is getting hot because i love black people but i really hate black people because what the fuck are we talking about ‘we’ve spent too much time trying to integrate we should’ve built our own spaces’ OPEN A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK YOU LOUD FUCKS AHH 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

simone

2024-12-23 05:05:06 +0000 UTC

i agree with you on the songs in wicked having too many pauses. it's very jarring especially when you're used to the musical's pacing. it took them FOREVER to get through "popular" and "defying gravity"

Nini

2024-12-23 04:52:47 +0000 UTC

you’re spot on Blake Lively discourse. Bc ppl will say i can hate Justin and Blake but like take a step back. You hate blake bc she is an alleged mean girl and she made a weird marketing choice with florals. Justin and his producer were showing Blake nudes of their partners and making set so uncomfortable other cast/cree noticed to the point none of them wanted to fuck with Justin. And to the point his team took noticed and orchestrated an entire hate campaign. One is obviously worse than the other.

I live in New York and this reminds me of the DUMMIES ACROSS the African diaspora that talk down on the south 🙃 they’ve never left NYC, but have the fucking MOST to talk about Black people and “omg I just can’t do the racism”, meanwhile an Albanian man with a fade calling them “my nigga” to their face 😵‍💫 but loud and anti-black as fuck

I’m sorry people are upset about WHAT now??? My daddy is 67 years old and remembers getting rocks thrown at him just for riding his bike one block over from where he was “supposed to be”. when he was 12, a group of white men tried to snatch him off a playground to do God knows what 😵‍💫 I’ll slap the fuck outta somebody if I saw somebody talking shit about Black people fighting for our fucking RIGHTS

2024-12-23 03:56:09 +0000 UTC

Ok re: Wicked, esp the coloring: my conspiracy theory is that they made the movie look piss poor in standard screenings as a cash grab. Basically forcing folks to go see it in “Laser Color” or 3D or 4D or whatever tf. I know so many people who have seen it a second time just for a better coloring experience. I also bypass the movie “Wizard and I” for Ariana’s live “Wizard and I” from the 15th anniversary album 🫢

i’ve seen a couple clips i personally didn’t like much of it. but it was some other performance she was doing that was not very easy on the ears. i really do think she’s talented and has had some great moments tho

Meg

the only tiny desk that truly didn't hit my ears right this year was dua lipa, but I only tune in from time to time. in 2024, the concerts I liked were sabrina carpenter, maxwell, chaka khan, chappell roan, 311, and tinashe (haven't seen doechii's yet, don't whack me!!!)

No when I tell you I saw livid when I saw ppl say our ancestors shouldn't have fought for civil rights and should have never fought to be accepted in white spaces like diners and certain schools. It takes a lot for me to get mad about shit on sm and that made me wanna quit it cold because how dare you say that?!? The privilege to walk into whatever diner freely was not a thing when my grandma grew up. Shit my cousin is Benjamin E Mays like don't ever say that shit around me uh uh.

Kayla Sanders

2024-12-23 01:55:05 +0000 UTC

I think one of the reasons artists now cant sing and still have stage fright 5+ years into their career is because they dont get any practice in through music shows anymore like artist did in the past. We dont have TRL, Top of the Pops, or 106&park where artists can get their performance practice hours in. On top of that I think artists feel like they are too good for the mall or amusement concerts when they first start out. If they arent getting booked at actual theaters or arenas they just wont perform.

Cosmic Orbit

2024-12-23 01:53:33 +0000 UTC

Cosmic Orbit

2024-12-23 01:49:14 +0000 UTC

It's just being carried by fans and memes atp and it's not being looked at critically, I fear. I love musicals and Wicked was an okay watch, but the things Kenya brought up, I heavily agree with. After "In the Heights" idk whyyyyyy they brought on Jon M. Chu for this project.

Lilac S.

2024-12-23 01:43:44 +0000 UTC

Yea the operatic moment in what is this feeling is not my fave but it's like Bible to the musical. Those nerds woulda skinned her alive if she didn't do it😭😭

Kayla Sanders

2024-12-23 01:36:45 +0000 UTC

After Nikki Giovanni’s passing, people on that app discovered that she was married to a white woman which started a whole discussion about civil rights leaders choosing white partners 🙄

The age of anti intellectualism we’ve entered is already bad but it’s 1000x worse the way we’re disrespecting the ppl who’ve fought and died for us to have what we have. Nikki Giovanni’s death being overshadowed by that discussion about white partners was so infuriating.

Mariah L.

2024-12-23 01:28:19 +0000 UTC

Wicked is the populist pick this year for the best picture lineup. I would say it was dune part 2 but they kinda over looking it for a lot of things.

Kayla Sanders

2024-12-23 01:27:29 +0000 UTC

I skip Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh’s part on The Wizard and I every time. Cynthia ain’t deserve that.

Keith Primas

2024-12-23 01:18:53 +0000 UTC

I think the issue is the standard in pop right now is everything is pitch corrected either in post if it is a prerecorded vocal, or with tuning to the mic, so when these singers get asked to sing into a mic with no tuning the pitch issues that normally get buried are very obvious. It is crazy how tuned everything is now, even the great singers out here use pitch correction to sound more "polished".

2024-12-23 01:11:25 +0000 UTC

Tiny Desk is a very revealing platform. The acoustics kinda suck so you really get to see whether an artist is a good performer or not. They either go really well or kinds bad. And some artists choose the absolute worst set list for their TD performances. I think TD is a great platform for really charismatic, expressive artists.

Not liking someone’s attitude or how they conduct themselves doesn’t make them worthy of SA or SH. Mind you the same people who believe otherwise were anti-abolishment, because, “Well, what about the rapists? Hmm?”

C

2024-12-23 00:24:56 +0000 UTC

The problem with these tiny desk performances is that these performers just don’t sound good vocally w/o some type of backtrack, so if you already can’t sing that well you’re not gonna do a good job at a TINY DESK show

Javan

2024-12-23 00:22:46 +0000 UTC

Using Johnny Depp’s PR team…and thinking all communication with such was immune from discovery like a marriage or attorney-client privilege. That trial made men throughout entertainment so comfortable and aloof.

yea i thought michelle yeoh’s singing was terrible. when i heard that sheryl lee ralph was another potential casting for that role i thought wow what could’ve been…

i agree with you on the songs in wicked having too many pauses. it's very jarring especially when you're used to the musical's pacing. it took them FOREVER to get through "popular" and "defying gravity"

Chloe and Halle’s tinydesk was amazing, my favorite.

do you like doechii? she had an amazing tiny desk. i know you’re talking about singers here but i just wanna add her in the best tiny desks category

Pls give us the full wicked list

Someone said Angela Bassett could’ve had Michelle’s role (idk if mama can sing) but I’m sure it would’ve been better….

Doechii’s tiny desk has some words kenya 👁️👅👁️ the theatrical omission edits of both defying gravity and the wizard and i are out on spotify, apple, amazon music platforms

SWV tiny desk is amazing!

I don’t know who Blake lively is.

i’ve seen a couple clips i personally didn’t like much of it. but it was some other performance she was doing that was not very easy on the ears. i really do think she’s talented and has had some great moments tho

the only song from her tiny desk I wasn't super crazy about was "slim pickins," but she sounded great to me for the rest of the performance idk

You’re in for a treat!

I never knew they did one I'm gonna watch now!

That was a big reason for me to slowly get off the app and hopefully remove it all together

Lemme go rewatch. I might get emotional

Oh wow. The fact that this is an actual topic on social media is proof that we’re a defeated people

Kenya and me are matching our red nails for Xmas 💋💅

the only tiny desk that truly didn't hit my ears right this year was dua lipa, but I only tune in from time to time. in 2024, the concerts I liked were sabrina carpenter, maxwell, chaka khan, chappell roan, 311, and tinashe (haven't seen doechii's yet, don't whack me!!!)

Oh brotherrrrrr🫠🙄

I’m not ready for vlogmas to be almost over 😩😩😩

I loved when they did the neighborhood song 😭

It's just being carried by fans and memes atp and it's not being looked at critically, I fear. I love musicals and Wicked was an okay watch, but the things Kenya brought up, I heavily agree with. After "In the Heights" idk whyyyyyy they brought on Jon M. Chu for this project.

Yea the operatic moment in what is this feeling is not my fave but it's like Bible to the musical. Those nerds woulda skinned her alive if she didn't do it😭😭

THIS. I loooooved Doechii's as well. She was the only performance I liked this year, but CxH is top tier to me.

After Nikki Giovanni’s passing, people on that app discovered that she was married to a white woman which started a whole discussion about civil rights leaders choosing white partners 🙄

Sesame Street Tiny Desk is my all time favorite

The age of anti intellectualism we’ve entered is already bad but it’s 1000x worse the way we’re disrespecting the ppl who’ve fought and died for us to have what we have. Nikki Giovanni’s death being overshadowed by that discussion about white partners was so infuriating.

Thank you for putting this into words! A lot of music sounds overproduced to me these days and it keeps me from enjoying it

Wicked is the populist pick this year for the best picture lineup. I would say it was dune part 2 but they kinda over looking it for a lot of things.

I skip Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh’s part on The Wizard and I every time. Cynthia ain’t deserve that.

Twitter has become really insufferable for me with all the discourse like I’m slowly gonna get off twitter soon

Wait a minute. Who and what exactly started the conversation about black people gaining their civil rights? If it’s on that God forsaken app X, then I understand why because those people on that app are idiots. I deleted that shit a long time ago.

Girl I rushed cuz I thought u was talking about doechii tiny desk pheww

I know you’re not talking about doechii

GIRL the “separate but equal would be good if it was equal” bozos have always pissed me off. They’re the “I’m not my ancestors crowd” too, just dumb and simple

Nooooo I loveeed Doechii's tiny desk. Edit: In fact, I think she sounded even my powerful while performing, she's soooo charismatic!

wicked in the best picture conversation is completely unserious can we all get a grip !!

heavy on “doesn’t align with her vocal abilities”! her new music probably feels more like HER, but it’s not necessarily my favorite in terms of vocal performance

that tweet about the civil rights leaders was all i needed to see before finally taking that app off my phone like 😭 some of you can’t be saved !

Right now, I’m focused solely on Golden Globe for Best TV Actress in a drama. Sofia Vergara was amazing as Griselda…but this is Cristin Milioti’s award for the taking. CARRIED Penguin. Shoutout to the casting director.

I need Ariana to do a tiny desk so bad

I think Sabrina Carpenter can sing, but recently she has had some really bad moments. please please please sounded so shrill and off. I don’t think a lot of her recent music aligns with her vocal abilities

Ugh, your Vlogmas videos helped me get through the last couple weeks before Winter break. Thx! -A teacher

Billie’s Tiny Desk was too short 😭 I LOVEEEd Doechii, Sabrina, Kehlani (even though theirs was too short too). Idk any of the other artists they had this year idk 🤷🏾‍♀️

Some of the tiny desks this summer were really good (Chaka Khan and SWV in particular). I haven’t listened to any of the recent ones though 🤷‍♂️

Not liking someone’s attitude or how they conduct themselves doesn’t make them worthy of SA or SH. Mind you the same people who believe otherwise were anti-abolishment, because, “Well, what about the rapists? Hmm?”
