she's powerful, I wish people would recognize the talent she has beyond her music. She deserves more credit.

[@Leona.luna8]

she's super philosophical

[@UltraViolet666]

The pop industry, which Halsey is in, often look past that because it's often just 'popularity'. I think this is why Halsey thought she was still Alternative, because her motives and background are so different, but she seems to be embracing her pop star status and making her presence and agenda be known more powerfully now. I think the pop industry needs her very much, and she truly is here to help change happen

[@srishtea5850]

I agree with this... She is so talented.. and she is so amazing..

[@UltraViolet666]

I feel bad for often thinking Halsey is annoying. She is so daring but we shouldn't even call it daring, she is just doing what she wants and preaching great things along the way. she really is what the pop industry needs.

[@Pomagranite167]

My only issue wih her is she hates people associating her with pop because she identifies as an "alternative" artist. But that's really too bad for her. Because she makes pop music.

[@UltraViolet666]

@@Pomagranite167 yep, exactly. If only she'd give her FULL attention to what matters, and not just when it suits her.

[@goodtimes8229]

I mean, it's okay to find her annoying. That doesn't mean anything about her, it just means you personally don't like her (and with singers, a lot of them have annoying music, or styles, or whatever, but that obviously doesn't mean they're bad people.) Maybe there's something about her that you find to be annoying, and even the best people can have some really irritating qualities.

[@maju404]

@chibuni its not the gut its more like a sheep mentality to me shes just being herself you like it or not she doesnt care

[@musicblends759]

Yongguk Is Ultimate Daddy her music started out as alt pop but definitely has turned into mainstream pop. she definitely has an alternative type of personality though so I think that’s why it’s hard for her to consider herself as a “pop star”

[@emilyfouquettehoffman7886]

Oh honey 😢 the other commenters are right you’re beautiful the way you are you don’t need to have children to be a wonderful woman- there’s plenty of kids that need foster homes, adoption, or even mentoring, tutoring, or animals need the same things. Even without any of that you are wonderful and amazing and strong- how do I know? You’re being open and raw on KZbin. I don’t know if I have that bravery! ♥️

[@adeliamupya4501]

"I don't get on a stage and not say what I mean." That got me. So proud of every single woman out there fighting to be heard. We've come a long way, but the road ahead is even longer. I want my future daughters to never have to worry about if what they're saying is too "smart" or considered unladylike the way I did and still do sometimes. I'm only 19 and I hear so many negative things about millennials and gen z youngsters. But you can't deny that we mean business.

After standing up for years to a misogynistic man who is wealthy enough to buy whatever he wants. I cling to hope. I cry when the abuse moves down to my children and no one cares cuz he's rich and successful and paints a lovely respectable facade. Keep speaking, we need your voice to speak for all of us

She has helped me in so many ways, and her music always has a message. I don't think she understands the impact she has on people. She is so powerful and capable of so many things. She is also so beautiful. Ugh I just wish I can meet her. My favorite lines of this speech is "and with all do respect to the media teams, I don't get on stage and not say what I mean" And then theres "so I'm not sorry for being inconvenient, you're not put on this earth to make everyone's life easier so please be inconvenient.

[@08nrichards]

I needed to hear this - at this moment in fact. Cuz I’ve been inconvenient and feelin attacked. They mock me for my political views, But thanks to your poem, Halsey, I’ll keep standing up true. My boss found out I protested the Presidents arrival so now they all taunt me as if I’m involved in a scandal. I’m just trying to be me and earn a living - while showing love even if we have conflicting opinions. their words of hate towards others are louder now as they discriminate. They loved me before they found out I’m a liberal - out here in the back woods - middle of nowhere. As much as I’d like to hate them back - I’ll give them a smile - and prove love isn’t wack. I won’t quit and walk out like I’ve done in the past - but I won’t be silent if asked where I stand.
