Stunt doubles are casted for difficult scenes in movies as well . The entire entertainment business is full of artifice . Broadway is the real deal. Hwood and the music industry is not. Does that mean she doesn’t deserve her success because she has background singers on her songs? |
+1. The top "singers" today are really performers. Their fans don't care that they don't sing well, use autotune or use tracks with other voices. |
Gotta agree. I just want to be entertained and have fun lol. As someone who saw her in Vegas she can't sing but has the stage presence |
Her show is better than Madonna’s and Britney’s and Mariah’s even though their music is better . She’s a better dancer than Beyonce and Janet as well. They both gained weight and don’t move like they used to I don’t get the J. Lo doesn’t have talent meme. She can dance and act. The only thing she’s bad at is singing |
She's older and looks better then Hedi klum who married someone decades younger. She can get a younger man, especially a younger dancer. Someone like Mariah Carreys ex |
get yes, keep no. |
So many men, so little time. That's quite a motto for living one life. |
My takeaways from the documentary:
They were part of it that seemed like a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Scenes of her rehearsing dances with an umbrella, scenes of her getting really obsessed over the texture of mud they were using, they were laughable, and I cannot believe that was real. I really liked the few short scenes of her actual kitchen, seeing her without make up on, and some other real scenes where they were having trouble getting past barriers like the fact that no celebrities wanted to be in it. At one point, somebody shouted out “Taylor Swift is a no” and my daughter and I howled. Lots of interviews with her crying, getting overwhelmed with it all that didn’t really resonate. She’s doing this whole thing for no reason and everyone’s telling her not to do it and yet she sobbing that it’s not going well. Very much like a victim mentality that I didn’t really appreciate. I have never liked Ben Affleck but they were actually cute together in some some scenes and I’m sad that they couldn’t work it out. I really love that she included the Jane Fonda truth bomb that it looked like she was living her life with Ben for the cameras and it wasn’t sustainable for a relationship. Took some guts to include that for sure. One part that made me cringe was there was one scene of her talking about how the most important thing that she worried about was being a good parent interspersed with a couple photos of her kids. Definitely seemed like a last-minute add as if somebody got to the end and was like oh maybe we should include the kids? I respect that she didn’t want to put the kids in the documentary, but it seemed like an add-on to make her seem like a good mother or something. I have no judgment about her parenting, I’m sure she loves her kids, but that seems like a weird add-on. Last thing is that she says a lot of surfacy pop psychology things. It seems like she knows she hast to love herself, and get to know herself and be OK being alone, she says all the right things but her actions defy that. |
Perhaps but the men are the ones calling . She didn’t prompt things with Ben or A Rod or any of her other exes. They initiate with her. For some reason, she hates being alone and perhaps alone with the kids is even worse for her. She likes having a male partner but I don’t necessarily think it’s for sex addiction reasons but attention reasons. She’s like the Facebook friend who posts every boyfriend or relationship update by the minute |
+1 PP here. Good points |
She can’t sing or act. She can only dance. Her music career is over. No one is interested in her music. Both her album and her tour flopped. The only career path I can see for her is to continue to produce/act in bad Netflix movies. Her Netflix movies are terrible, but people seem to watch them. |

I would be disappointed if this was all just a stunt |
A stunt for what? The divorce stunt was purportedly to boost the tour but the tour is now cancelled. This is obviously real. |
+1 and she looks really miserable |
Ben is also infantilized due to his vices so it’s no surprise his mother and both Jens have to hunker down and surround him . That’s part of his problem . |
