MONTERO Is Controversial...But Is It Any Good? (Lil Nas X REVIEW)

[@POPICANA]

What are your hopes for the Montero era??? 🩸👹🌈

[@inma5665]

i have no hopes, i just want him to surprise me, but i doubt it tbh

[@POPICANA]

@@inma5665 no expectations, no disappointments!!! luv that 🧛🏻‍♀️

Dorian Electra and Ashinikko remix of Call Me By Your Name haha

[@silverfang65]

Excited ...but im a stan so u probably dont care...but im ibsessed with this boy and EVERYTHING he does🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tististisk8753]

My bigger concern is more with how he'll soon become the boy who cried wolf, making up false situations (like how he lied about Montero being taken off spotify) only to get more attention. He's very hungry for fame and is seemingly willing to do anything for it with way too many lies and publicity stunts. A lot of artist do it, but they're not as open about it as Nas it. It's just a bit of a turn off for me, in regards to his work and music. I hope when he releases his album, he improves on his lyrical abilities and goes more in depth about what it was like to be black and gay, all the homopgobia he faced, what he had to go through mentally, etc etc. It could be a groundbreaking work of art, especially with all the attention he has on him. But I can see that I'm probably asking too much of him since he's not really that type of artist...

[@POPICANA]

I can see u what u mean by he's not that type of artist but I also think he's a REALLY smart marketer (case in point the old town road remixes/memes and the devil shoes) so Idk, I feel like he's slowly shifting into a mere sincere artist because he knows if he goes too fast, his audience won't like it. I have faith in him to create something amazing. Even if he doesn't have the skills now, I'm sure he can work to better his musicianship and create something really great. Lil Nas is absolutely NOT a one hit wonder in my opinion. 😃

[@silverfang65]

The spotify thing wasnt a lie tho...some plp actually had problems...he just piggybacked off a problem

[@brettschaft5463]

I just don't think you get it. He wants to create a universe where he doesn't have to talk about "the struggle" - where someone can be gay, trans, nonbinary, queer, etc. without society ever batting an eye.

[@brandonleyva3856]

So glad you mentioned Twigs! No one else seemed to notice

[@jatemartin5771]

Yeah she seems the most ignored outta everyone

[@nickfernandez829]

Ppl can say what they want to about this song/video but this guy knows how to market himself well everyone ate this song up.

[@lucas10armond]

You was so perceptive highlighting the 100 Gecs influence OMGGG

[@POPICANA]

Just thinking about it now...damn maybe hyperpop really will reach the mainstream, that would be so interesting. What did u think of Haunted????? 🤩

[@lucas10armond]

hyperpop will eat the mainstream up! I really belive is this "slow burn" trajectory for the genre. Cuz it is so versatile and inclusive. Like I'm from Brazil and here a scene is already forming, one of our greatest pop artists, Pabllo Vittar, is always flirting with that sound, and it is SO GOOD!

[@lucas10armond]

@@POPICANA Hauted got me so excited! Laura is an absolute queen!

[@azealiabankscat4572]

i am living for this but the shoes are honestly concerning, it just goes to show that he really doesnt care about what others think and just does him disregaurding his audience which i love!

[@POPICANA]

true but i was honestly impressed by the devil shoe. it's such a simple but smart marketing move that made A LOT of noise out of basically nothing...gen z's Madonna? I think so! 🤩

[@townsendagency6780]

isnt troye sivan kinda beloved in the mainstream he usually does well when he gets the proper push with the proper songs ( youth,1999,dance to this...)

[@oatmeal364]

i guess i’ve been a fan of HIM for a while, not necessarily his music. i think he’s funny and you know imma munch any lgbtq+ representation right up, but his music is just sorta all over the place and flat at the same time. he has said his album is going to contain different genres which can be hard to pull off, especially early in your career while you’re still building your image and sound. if he goes in more of a pc music or hyperpop direction though, i think it could work.

[@jayadora]

I loved the song, the video, and the meaning behind it. It made me a fan, when I was not one before.

[@silverfang65]

Lol Montero is everything and more i ever needed song and videowise...and its his storytelling and visual direction so im glad hes doing his own thing which is rare

[@silverfang65]

Its okay popicana lol Holiday was for the straights who absolutely loved it, hes just curating his own fanbase at this moment ! King shit 👑👑👑🤴❤❤

[@ronanyomu5967]

Plzzzz do a vid on greyson chance and troye sivan plzzzz

[@inma5665]

I agree, even the devil is this Halloween cliché red devil, some Christians didn't even take him seriously and only condemned the deviancy. I also don't like it when celebrities try to fool their audience, he washed his hands off and said he wasn't aware of the FKA twigs inspiration and that it was the special effects people, but he supposedly co-directed it, what kind of artist and co-director is not aware of the references & inspirations of their own video? the similarities are matter of composition, camera work and creativity, not special effects. He's either lying about directing it or not being aware of the similarities... PD: he sings awfully without autotune in that genius interview, maybe i'm too harsh on him but it is true haha

[@POPICANA]

Lol tbh i haven't listened to any of his live performances...i guess i won't now. 🤩 Yh, i get what you're saying about the FKA Twigs thing but honestly which public figure isn't like that? Except like idk fiona apple? XDDDDD Everything is PR, which is understandable. What do u think of his old stuff?

[@silverfang65]

Lol in the genius interview he was obviously having fun justbto exlain the lyrics...he's not gonna come belt notes for a lyric breakdown😭😅

[@silverfang65]

Too much art exists for anything to be new, its possible for him to genuinly not know of somethings existence

[@inma5665]

@@silverfang65 i know but imagine to sing out of tune without belting or anything lol

[@inma5665]

@@silverfang65 yes, but it's impossible to believe he didn't know if he was the co-director... and then blame it on the special effects people when it has nothing to do at all...

thats a stretch. we have to wait and see.

[@calirs5120]

The song is good. But the video is uncomfortable to watch. Thats my only complaint, and for everyone who doesn't know. Lis Nas X has come out publicly as gay

[@davidsokoloski417]

Note on topic but do you think we’ll end up getting a video for Free Woman?

[@POPICANA]

Mmm....no. Like it feeels 50/50. But when you think about the movie promo tour that's about to come up, the Tony album and probs another 100 projects she has going on, I think Chromatica is over. But because they teased us SO MUCH about the Sour Candy video and all that the journey continues c*ap idk. In my opinion, I think Chromatica is over. Wbu?

[@davidsokoloski417]

@@POPICANA I mean I know there’s the rumors about the remix album with Charli and Rina, and didn’t BloodPop say that some of the SOPHIE tracks (Rip legend) would eventually, maybe be released? Idk I hope it’s not over but ya I get what you mean. The era could very well be finished at this point. I’d love videos to both tracks but in the grand scheme of things we got more videos for this era then we did for Artpop. Gotta count for something lol

[@davidsokoloski417]

I’m probably just really off with my information lol because I remember hearing an update about the SOPHIE tracks forever ago, and the remix album was more recent but I have no idea how concrete that is.

ya know im glad for what lil nas represents because i am apart of lgbtq+. I fel thats all ppl see is what the song represents are the visuals and not the song is its self. Tbh personally the song is kinda boring for me but again i love what he supports 💕

[@POPICANA]

same here 💕 I reaaaaally hope he serves some better music next so people can start to see he really is talented: I really believe he is. Do you like any of his old stuff?

[@Jacobissojulia]

@@POPICANA i liked some of his songs but i do see that talent there i just think he's worried about getting a big hit more that the music itself. Ty for replying i love your videos💕

[@willychodeson]

in my opinion, the opening and the camp represents a destroyed mindset, its clean and not dark, its bright and flowery much like Christians told him about, but it hides something dark, (the snake) which represents him discovering himself and going to a much darker place (hell) where he can truly be himself without the fake bubbly pink covering
