[@MuditHyanki]

High five bro!

[@andreacarter500]

"awful songs" BOB THE BUILDER IS A BOP THAT IS A BELOVED CLASSIC BY EVERYONE I'm offended

[@MrMinceyboy]

omg this made me laugh so hard XD

[@carment793]

Andrea Carter same, like how dare they

[@asialynnn]

Andrea Carter SAMEEEEE

[@atlantisoceania7451]

lmao

[@mashi4525]

So am i

[@bella-ns3sx]

Her burps probably sound like Angel choirs

[@dylandial4448]

OMG TRUE LMAO

[@Elle-yt1gv]

XDD

[@shireenpapier8580]

hahahahahaha!!!

[@rojinatayyebi3759]

Doelily HAHAHA!!! Gosh I love this comment!

[@jezzak3738]

I'm literally deceased.😂😂XD

[@sophiebrooklyn6171]

All I saw was "Tori Kelly makes awful songs" and I was about to slap someone.

[@hannahnicole3100]

OMG!!! SAME I WAS OH HECK NO

[@2xchamp99]

Preachhh

[@ImaginaryNate]

Same at first lol

[@tinybunbun5661]

xD true the first time I saw I was like oh heck naw I'm about to slap someone but then I read the whole title then I was like oh they lucky, I don't have to slap someone.

[@Nerak39]

Same that why I watched it.

[@Ashtree28]

Even her laugh sounds like music, what the hell

[@joshyt684]

Ashtree28 haha omg yess!! legit eargasm for days lmaoo

[@DanielLopez-rd2ns]

Fuck Worst is the you're right!!!

[@michaellouis4882]

Way to put it! Agree mate..

[@LizaLavolta]

r e s o n a n c e

[@cereal_qilla]

Her voice suits this chilled out laid back type of tempo instead of her pop songs tempo...she needs to find herself a good down tempo producer asap!

[@cereal_qilla]

Instead of the pop template of verse 1, verse 2, belting, end. She could do so much more than that bs

[@cereal_qilla]

+GammaRay1020 but that kind of thing requires true artistry and true artistry requires really knowing yourself so it's more of an issue of her finding herself instead of trying to show off her range with melismas etc

[@babbyasmr2031]

I don't think you listen to her music. If you even check out one of her albums, half of the songs are slow tempo songs.

[@librabih2956]

Look up videos of her singing when she was 10, her voice has always been pop

[@yrudonking]

most artist start with pop because its what the majority enjoy so that's how they get known and as they become more popular they can transition into doing more of what they want.

[@pavithranpavithran6096]

I got really pissed because I thought the title said, "Tori Kelly makes awful songs but sings beautifully" or some shit I was like 😡

[@lipglossgirl50]

same haha

[@alejandrazapata9344]

Omg same

[@night4526]

Me too

[@poopxdaj2748]

[@shrutishah6748]

ok, first of all , they are not awful songs. secondly, omg she has an angelic voice.

[@CecenaGuy]

Holy shit, Bob the Builder killed me. But why the fuck is Bills here? It's not a bad song.

[@user-gx6rc7ht2z]

It's a bit shit

[@UKFeaRz]

+Emma doherty (beautybyemma) proper shit

[@Out78CasT]

+Caleb Donovan it was a mashup, some good, some not , untill now.

[@kenadilalala1270]

bills is the funniest real song I ever and timber is a hit and so is anaconda

[@fabianarocio1047]

Exactly bills is good!

[@kikiam7850]

She should've won the Best New Artist. Like, WTF Recording Academy. Meghan's cute and all, but she doesn't deserve it. Lyrically, vocally, and artistically speaking Tori wins. Hands down.

[@xxGuItArGiRLxx89]

Is tori a songwriter too?

[@emeryfaircloth]

THANK YOU

[@kikiam7850]

[@mrblookes]

eating raw faces is my least favorite thing to do. i grew up on party rock anthem when it was #1 for weeks in 2011 and i can definitely confirm that it was a bop

[@BKInbound]

both are unbearable excuse you

[@majshkdt]

[@Hi-rw2un]

Carlos Calderon they are though

[@8Aboudi8]

her voice is so emotional.. she can sing about poop and still make me tear up

[@d1mples91]

[@summermcpherson8209]

Anything she sings about can make you tear up.

[@GermaineNimundel]

This girl is gonna be so huge just wait for it.

[@GermaineNimundel]

Julia Torres i know but I'm believe in time. And this is her time.

[@RoboHobos]

I sure hope she does become as famous as Taylor Swift

[@GermaineNimundel]

Robo Hobos she would If she showed her personality more. She seems really quit and doesn't talk much so for people to fall in love with her and support her like crazy, she should show more of her personality. Cause her talent is beyond on point

[@Heyyjeffrey]

I love that she's finally getting more attention. All that stuff in KZbin and working hard and she got to this breakout career

[@mariahroath1580]

[@julissaandrew4028]

[@Zenyell]

Okay, bills is NOT an awful song. It's actually one of the good songs that isn't about sex and drugs.

[@yourdadjai7993]

make a song then compare nicki minaj songs

[@stevenwandi]

"if that was on your album i would buy it" her face just drops

[@ariesjaneramirez8053]

yeah. the guy was caught n the act.

[@VanillaCupcakes13]

+steven wandi i don't get it. I think he meant he would buy the *song* if it was on her album if you thought he meant that he would buy her *album* if that was on it.

[@angelmorales7971]

+steven wandi yea she was all like'' lets release it'' lol she is so funny

[@user-cc4rb9nc7t]

I think that's because it sounds as if he wasn't gonna buy her album but would if that 'song' was on it :)x

[@karinanurlan5225]

shes so underrated

[@urmum1477]

Ikr

[@blackclothesblackcat8873]

No she isn't. A lot of people already know her now. Thank god she's getting the recognition she deserves.

[@theworldisflatagainexceptf4510]

What Karina means is that she deserves more recognition :)

[@efaiith]

Being underrated can be a good thing. I pray to God she doesn't sell out and get corrupted by Hollywood :(

[@nikipadua5440]

[@esmee9535]

That's what I thought too

[@ailish086]

+Josh Ilunga I would class them all as pretty terrible.

[@mahnoor2096]

I think they meant songs that are overplayed to the point that everyone hates them

[@zach1234236]

Yeah Bob the Builder is fire.

[@flamranims]

+Zachary Louah Exactly. Why has this Bob guy not had more hits?

[@theapadua8462]

[@isabellewestmaas2265]

How dare you, Bob the Builder is a great song.

[@victor73995]

Bob the Builder was a cult classic, and I'm offended that they would call it a "horrible song."

[@Nzunghe]

What I don't get is why the caption says "awful" songs

[@year-xc4mf]

cos they're crap

[@ashluna5104]

Bob the builder

[@summerc8377]

What the hell!! How can they just label those songs as awful. It is about preference if don't like it then don't just stop saying it is awful. The title is so wrong. #JustSaying #MyOpinion

[@iamshraddhakhedkar]

[@asti898]

Yes but some are genuinely awful. Like Whip Nae Nae. Lol. And Anaconda

[@mybui6596]

Sydney Dianne trueee

[@Lyssarah28]

Listen to the lyrics, it's a terrible song. People in this generation are more concerned about the beat rather than the lyrics.

[@phenomenonnarutokun]

Not really

[@justtaff5183]

it sounds good because Tori is singing it

[@Gumball-em6xm]

Yyahna Pineda whip nae nae isn’t that bad, it’s just repetitive, but it’s not that bad in my opinion. I like it’s because it reminds me of good 2015 memories

[@fobt90]

She not only sang those songs. She reinvented and improved them. What a talent

[@wager0113]

Bills, Gangnam Style, Party Rock, and Timber are nowhere near terrible songs. In fact they are all quite amazing and fun to listen to

[@constance6604]

Agreed!

[@constance6604]

Agreed!

[@nathanklassen6271]

Maybe he thought they were too overplayed and mixed meaning of awful and overplayed

[@RichTake]

+Richard Savings Its for a tv show. Who the hell blasts theme songs of tv shows out in public?

[@user-gx6rc7ht2z]

It's sarcasm mate

[@45webstar]

Yes I wouldn't play it out loud in public but if I had it on my iPod I wouldn't be skipping it. And really it was a lighthearted comment that didn't need such a reply. Thanks to the people who got the point of it. I won't be paying any more attention to this now so have fun.
