ItzyxMabelline

By :Shanise Lachelle

Just itzy casually being ICONIC, and becoming brand ambassadors for the cosmetics line, Maybelline no big deal.

Girl, I guess their team gets a few rights. And having this type of promo right before their comeback is such a power move. Itzy is coming for all your favs crown. They all look stunning and I’m SO happy to see they’re not completely white-washed .

First look at Pretty Savage

By : Shanise Lachelle

Last night on the James Corden show, BlackPink gave us an official first look at their pretty savage performance. As a blink I was SHOOK and so impressed. They’ve already performed Pretty Savage a few times and I loved it each time and it’s also one of my favorite tracks from them. But I was excited to see how big they would do it for their concert this upcoming Sunday,( I’m going!!) And let me just say- THEY KILLED IT AND THEY LOOKED Amazing. I’m pretty late into stanning them, but upon research and looking at those Coachella outfits( was NOT a fan), I was pleasantly surprised to see everyone looking GOOD. Looks like the stylist did their jobs for once. And I may be bias, but miss jennie kim stole the show for me!! Pretty savage is just her moment hunny. And apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought so, she trended not once but TWICE on twitter. All by herself!!! Miss jennie kim did THAT. SHE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY STUNNING . This just made me hype for Sunday and I honestly cannot wait.

Honorable mention : Miss Lisa with the bangs and long hair- HONEY I APPROVE.

The Craft: legacy

Upon hearing they were making another craft movie I think we were all like ,” nah we don’t really need it”. After seeing the trailer, I think alot of us were still like eh either way. The trailer looked extremely watered down, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt that the movie didn’t want to give too much away. After watching the movie, I can honestly say the trailer was better and extremely misleading. The movie never makes up its mind whether it wants to be a remake or reboot and just completely falls short. The story follows lilly and her mom, who moves to live with moms new strange boyfriend. Right off the bat stepdad is giving creepy vibes, then enters his 3 sons who all have Bible names. So you can honestly see where this might go. Stepdad is super strict and creepy , and just gives you over all wrong vibes. Lilly starts school and after having a heavy ass flow on the classroom floor, meets the other 3 witches.

The problem with this film is that, unlike the original there are NOT character issues. Besides lilly and the stepdad, none of the other girls have any issues or a real story line. Lourdes , who’s played by trans actress zoey luna barley has any lines! And I felt from the teaser and the promo photos and the way the actress talked about lourdes ,that she was gonna be the main antagonist and the witch who would get out of control. She never did. Which upset me, she could’ve done so much more with her character,had they written her better. Tabby played by lovie Simone is the only black character, following the original. And has ZERO STORYLINE. Other than being the gorgeous token black girl. She had a moment when they were playing a game and she wished she had more black friends, but that was it. Another character that they could have done so much with and they didn’t. Gideon Adlon who plays adorable word vomit frankie, had the most memorable moments of the coven, but her jokes often fell flat and we’re too dry. They also could’ve done more with her character, but they didn’t. The ending with the main fight, was LACKLUSTER and I saw it coming from miles away.

Going into this movie not connecting it with the previous the craft and it’s a decent cute movie. Which I don’t think is what they were going for. Going into the movie comparing it to the craft original and you will be highly disappointed.

They could have made it so much darker and gave these characters more depth. But they made a disney version instead . It was cute but not what I expected. I give it a 3/5.

Holiday first reaction

As a mixer when little mix release anything you know not to get too excited because you will always be let down. Especially in the few years. It’s like they have a great single… Great artwork.. great concept then fall short on the promo and even sometimes the video. I WILL cut them a tiny bit of slack since we are in quartine and covid cases are going back up as places open back up. The breakup song video was totally lackluster and SUCKED. THATS the hard truth. It had the build up then fell super short. Now we’re here with the official number 1 single of LM6 AND as usual they’re doing everything right. Great summer song (because it’s SUMMER) about wanting to go on holiday which alot of us can’t because of covid. Great artwork… Little mix as mermaids!? I STAN, THEY LOOK AMAZING. the teasers and LM AIRWAYS !? Another original and cute idea. From the clips we’ve heard it sounds great and like it could be a summer anthem… If promoted right. Now all we’re waiting for is the video…. Which we won’t have with the single( remember when I said we would be let down?) But they will be releasing a a lyric video/vertical video.. which I guess is better than nothing at this point. And to be fair because of covid things are now just opening back up so hopefully they film a real great video and release it soon to keep the hype up. I will be back with a review tomorrow. Finger’s crossed.🌴

What I miss

If corona has taught us anything it’s to appreciate the little things in life we would take for granted. Here’s some of the simple things I miss terribly that I took for granted because I though “ I’ll just do it next weekend”.

1. Friends- I use to cancel and back out of so many things with my friends. After this is all over I won’t turn down a single plan

2. Bars/clubs- I used to HATE going out to clubs . And only tolerated bars because they can be chill. But since being on lockdown for about a month and going crazy.. I can’t WAIT to go out and let loose and have fun.

Restaurants. Parks. THE MALL. And just being around other people in general. I miss it all so much and can’t for it all to over. What do you miss ?! What did you take for granted?!

Female artists who deserve better!

Here is my list of female artist who deserve better from their label and more hype! They’ve been through enough, support these ladies!!!

1. Demi lovato- although I will argue she stands in her own way a lot.

2.bea Miller- the girl can SING. And everything she releases is a bop so who isn’t she more popular?!

3. Sabrina carpenter – born from Disney but the girl has pipes !! And has a lot of bops.

4.little mix- we already know how I feel about them. I have a dozen posts about it.

5. Jojo- she literally just released a documentary about how shitty the business has been to her. She deserves to be just as big as Ariana grande! I said what I said. Jojo did it first.

Little mix is back

Remember my last little mix post when I said the girls wouldn’t make it if they didn’t seriously change everything up?! How this last album/ single could make or break them?! Well I guess they listened. They seem to have learned from past mistakes and are switching it up. This past Monday started the new era and everyday we’ve been getting content, which is very unlike them. And tomorrow (Friday) we will have the new single and lyric video, again VERY unlike them. They usually tease the single. Release two weeks later. Then we get the single art another two weeks later and then the video like a month later. Imagine how tired we were. The new single is called break up song which is a generic title but good promo ,because everytime someone looks up break up song, their song will pop up! The teasers have shown that it’s gonna be short and sweet(perfect for radio play) and it’s heavenly 80s influenced! Which is my favorite time period for music and the 80s theme is very popular right now.( stranger things) I can’t wait to hear the entire thing and will be back with a first reaction to update you all. This could finally be the single to break America!!!!!!
