Not to pull the race card but people here say every black person they don’t like is “untalented”

I had never heard of her until a couple weeks ago when she showed her booty at the Lakers game, although I heard the song before. Think she is from Minnesota

That is a little or a lot overboard. She can do diva level power vocals without most engineering and actually a hell of a flautist. Like her music or not she is a solid musician with significantly above average vocal chops.


So what? Whatever talent she has is overshadowed by the piss poor image she presents to the public. Being the fat, ghetto, attention-seeking black woman isn't empowering in any way, shape or form. It's a harmful stereotype historically pushed by the media to denigrate black women. She's not a role model for young girls, she's not doing black women any favors with her trifling antics and ridiculous persona.

Is this the daily OK Boomer thread?

Ironically, I know who Lizzo is through the OT.

She's no more or less talented than your average pop star. Is that better? Any comments on the rest of what I wrote?

Obligatory Lizzo who?!?! Never heard of her

You won’t catch me listening to her music because it’s awful but a few of them are pretty catchy. It’s easy to see why her music is popular

The so what is you ruin your argument when you lead with something that isn't true. She has a great voice with solid command of it, far and away better than the average pop star. Her talent as a musician alone puts her ahead of most pop stars.

I agree with many of the remainder of your points but you are either the type of person that has to have every possible point in your favor to feel good about their argument, you don't know her music or you just don't know music or some combination of the three.

no. She’s definitely a better than average singer.

She's a pop singer/rapper who got famous for being fat yet still pretends she has the body of a skinny girl.

Opinion and debatable. It has no effect on my other arguments.

None of this is about me despite your effort to make it so.

Funny story or a story I find funny.

Somehow in my working days I must have influenced some youngsters because their is a group that I hired back in the day that still talk blah blah blah.

They create a group to discuss music and I'm invited even though we all know I don't listen to what they would. About a year ago I guess. Maybe more.

The whole group loves Lizzo. Lizzo this and Lizzo that. So me being mr progressive pops some Lizzo onto my summer pool playlist.

It was unlistenable. I don't take their recommendations anymore.
