I attempted to listen to Bella Poarch's music...

Today I attempted to listen to Bella Poarch's first song ever: Build-A-Bear (except not that). The TikTok star known for her face zooms has now diverted her attention to music, and with great vocals, the expectations were high. Let's see if Bella Poarch can't actually sing.

[@veilixx2587]

I'm going to be honest here. This song has WAY more meaning than other tik tokers music. Think about it, Most other tik toker's I've seen have either made songs about being sad, or their heart being broken. (Forgot to add this- and being obsessed with themselves?) I legitimately like the meaning behind this one, plus it sounds good. She should've gotten famous for this, and not bobbing her head and making faces at a camera

[@DAMlENTHORN]

If some ppl either love or hate u, ur spittin straight facts

[@v0id3d_st4rs]

Very true. Tik tokkers barely look into the meaning. And I have a long list of songs that should either be looked into before using or not used at all. All you wanna do from SIX: The Musical is about Henry the IIIV's 5th wife Kathryn Howard and her experiences with men who just wanted her for her body. And people are using it to show of their boyfriends. Gomenne Gomenne is a Vocaloid song that I've seen a few time as well and of often completely stripped of its meaning. It's literally about a girl being r4p3d by her father every day for Christ's sake. And that's just a few. I have more. This is why I prefer to watching other tik toks rather than dance ones..

[@ZeeBug15]

They are literally just like “I’m sad someone broke my hweart 👉🏻👈🏻”

[@donttalktome313]

yes, she has a very unique and beautiful voice but the thing is, there are a lot of great singers around the world with better vocal technique compared to her. She used to post covers on soundcloud, but then she didn't get famous for it. But she's smart. She used her overnight fame on Tiktok as her stepping stone to get ahead of others.

@Sarai Melendez Wdym. Who said I was bringing charli down or bringing hate to her. I'm just saying this from what I can see.

[@ponderinqsp3285]

@Sarai Melendez I only said that because it's literally true. For instance, the renegade dance. People thought Charli made it but, the creator was Jalaiah Harmon. Even though they met and it was established Jalaiah Harmon made the dance. She still received like no credit. Like, Jalaiah Harmon had to go on the ellen show to claim whats rightfully hers. Basically stole a dance from a black creator and I didn't like that. I don't think she did it on purpose though, it's just the matter of people assuming things. If you check Jalaiah Harmon's tiktok you will literally see her videos have little likes and comments. Charli popularized on TikTok, while Jalaiah was left in the dust. She even tweeted about it. " mostly white TikTokers who have taken dances from me".

I mean can you really blame them? Tik tok is basically mostly visual arts, meaning, all you need to do to succeed, is to look appealing. And when people are only judged by their looks, no one is going to expect them to actually create something exceptional. Tik tok even has a function that puts only attractive people on the for you page, so... not alot of deserved artists are going to get recognition.

brainless - People doing stupid challenges that can hurt them or other people for views cringey - doing things that if done in real life look absolutely panful in their eyes untalented - doing some random easy dance steps and just relying on their following and looks for attention.

coming from someone who despises tiktok and tiktokers, I gotta say Bella Poarch really has some talent in singing.

I get heavy Melanie Martinez vibes from this song, the lyrics, the deep beat paired with that lullaby-esque music, the production and music video itself, it all seems very much like Melanie's style Edit: no bad intentions with this comment btw! Bella's song isn't bad at all, it was just an observation I noticed. Taking inspiration from other artists when you start out with music is fine, but I do hope Bella finds her own sound and develops her own style to avoid the "cOPycAt!!1!11" crowd. You're bound to have your songs be similar to someone elses, but this song does overlap a liiiittle too much into Melanie-territory imo and at first playback you could easily mistake it as a MM song. So I wish Bella the best of luck in discovering her taste and evolving it into something of her own.

Most people are angry that she created a boat out of fame gained simply through her natural beauty and her ability to make funny horny faces because she’s got a textbook 10/10 face, and of course rode that boat of fame into a pit of money with a bit of help from *actual* talent.
