Ok so just to clear this up entirely, Chappell absolutely did not vote for Trump! She’s a far left leaning girlie meaning that all she was saying was she didn’t feel comfortable endorsing (but was still voting for) Kamala because of Kamala’s support for Israel and the democratic parties overall very loud silence regarding trans issues and individuals in the run up to the election. Let’s not get that twisted !!

[@deevasquez1171]

Well she must’ve slow because EVERY presidential candidate HAS to support Israel wether they do deep down or not, the alternative to Kamala was always far worse for trans people and Gaza, her expressing her dislike for Kamala when trump is planning to do 100x worse for marginalised communities shows her ignorance.

[@katiec8039]

@@deevasquez1171 So what you’re not acknowledging here is context. Chappell never outright expressed a dislike for Kamala. She was interviewed for an article (in which she explicitly stated how proud she was to live in a time when a black woman was running for presidency) and during the interview, she was asked if she felt pressure to endorse a candidate, and she gave an honest answer. That’s all there is to it. Her words were then subsequently taken completely out of context, leading people to label her a Trump supporter, which she later clarified. Her stance is that she supports a free Palestine and could not morally endorse Kamala because of Kamala’s position on Israel and no, Chappell’s point was not about ignorance but about holding the U.S. accountable for funding a genocide that has led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent people. Her take was clear, nuanced, and anything but uninformed. If you’re comfortable living in a world where we keep quiet and simply accept the options presented to us, that’s your choice girl! However, many of us refuse to settle for that and will continue to challenge these systems. And that certainly doesn't make Chappell ‘slow’ for simply being honest about her concerns.

How is that “policing” behavior and not simply setting a boundary of “hey, this isn’t okay with me, stop doing it?” The definition of setting a boundary is establishing limits for how you want to be treated by others, so she is quite literally setting boundaries, not “policing” people’s behaviors.

Fantastic dancing but little else that's noteworthy. She has a new album coming in Feb though so maybe she'll change our minds? I find her a very weak vocalist with an extremely nasal tone, similar to Camila Cabello. I struggle to tolerate both, but at least Camila has a wider vocal range to work with, Tate doesn't even have that, so she's forced to rely on the dancing to bring it home. The strategy worked for Britney, so maybe it will work for her? She's only 21 so she's got the rest of the decade to improve, plus she sold out MSG so she clearly has a fanbase.

i find it funny you mention not liking the performance bc that's the whole reason she went viral in the first place and why she's getting record breaking audiences at all festivals. she may not be a choreo girl, but i don't think everyone needs to be, she commands the stage and is VERY high energy and involved with the crowd. maybe you need to get into the songs first, to then appreciate the performance aspect? but i get it if you're a choreo only supremacist, why she may not be for you.

We can go back and forth about her music ALL DAY music is subjective but what NO ONE can take from Chappell is her hard work ethic and dedication to her craft you can tell she actually cares about her sound it has substance which is what a-lot of artist in this tic tok age don’t have I’m grateful we have people like Chappell pushing their pin and giving spotlight to the LESBIAN experience and community which we lesbians RARLEY get in pop music.❤

[@michaelsmalz]

What got me into her was the camp of her music. I got into Chappell when she was a very small artist. She didn't blow up until this past spring/ summer. She has been around for almost a decade. Hearing her music and living for how tongue in cheek it is and then being able to scream the campiest queer lyrics with my friends in the car was what made me a fan. Getting to scream them with thousands of people at her shows is what made me a stan. It's all about the experiences and memories tied to her music. No, she is not gonna give you what Gaga, Beyoncé, etc will give but it is about the community and experiences that her music creates and reminds you of. She was just a small queer indie artist not too long ago, so I'm sure her live performances will evolve and transform in the next few years. Her brand is mainly queer camp though. I am glad I know her music from before her "blow up" because I think who she is/ who her music is for what it stands for is a little lost in the hype. And that is a fault of the GP jumping on the bandwagon and not of her/ her team. I hope you give the album a full devoted listen just because her magic is in her music and the rest follows!

It’s the white woman energy. Gaga’s white but she doesn’t exude that in the same way. Katy Perry didn’t either but it’s coming out now hence her flop. Kesha owned it early on in her career with her white trash/party girl persona and made it fierce, and Brittany had a natural cool factor. With people like Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan, they just don’t have that natural cool factor, hence why they have the same appeal to the same type of people.

[@Love-yg5qq]

I think Chappell's performance clicks a lot more when you consider who her performing icon is, which is Freddie Mercury. Freddie never had choreo, he was considered a good performer for always singing live, being very high energy and theatrical, emoting, and engaging the crowd. Chappell does all of those things, in my opinion from what I have seen. She still has a chance of improving even more, of course, but I really reject the idea that you need choreo to be a good performer.

[@Unbothered91]

I think there’s a few points to go over. 1. I think there is enough of an age gap between her and some older millennials where we just aren’t vibing. 2. People are projecting their feelings onto her because she unfortunately is becoming big at the same time Trump is heading back into office. I doubt she’s actually a Trump supporter and those who say they don’t feel there is a space for POC at her shows are projecting/making those feeling up because of what is happening in our current politics. (I’m a mixed POC, so hold your tongue to those who try to bash that statement). 3. She hasn’t had the funding other pop girls have had long enough to have dance lessons and good choreographers to help with her stage presence. Look at Dua Lipa for example. That’s all.

[@its_starboy]

I feel you’re unfairly judging her career based on what society expects from a black female or just a female performer in general. Like you and I know that there are quite a few black female artists who have similar aesthetic and can be pushed if the music industry wanted to, and that’s not Chappell Roan’s fault and neither is this political climate in which we’re caught up in. I feel as it’s so easy to blame society’s shortcomings on a single person or group of people rather than actually change or bring about change in which Chappell Roan has been doing for the past year. Not liking her because it’s not for you is one thing, but not liking her for being a representation of the shortcomings of others kind of runs at odds with the boundaries she’s currently breaking in pop music.

Does skin color define talent? No. But it does define how you get treated in Hollywood and the music industry. Zach isn’t wrong about that. Many darker female artists are called ugly, niche, and have to work very hard to be noticed. I can’t 100% speak on Chappell because I don’t listen to her but many black artists who aren’t light skinned with a certain look are getting overlooked. If Doja Cat wasn’t pretty and light skinned, a song like Moo would’ve never blew up the way it did.

[@ominisi]

​@@kennethiavail1719 I totally agree 100%, but my point is that besides that, there are other things the industry considers. In this case, Chappel has that disruptive personality that makes her stand out. She’s always been like that, and maybe that’s why people connect with her, not because she’s white, but because she’s authentic and real. That’s why she has thousands and thousands of fans, because she appeals to an audience that genuinely supports her, not just people who are into her for her looks like some other artists. Chappel isn’t just talented, she’s real, and people love her for who she is. She’s allowed to be herself, not because she’s white. That view is too simplistic and fits a narrative that might be true for other artists who benefit from white privilege, but with her, it’s just not the case. That’s where Zach gets it wrong in my opinion.

[@kennethiavail1719]

@@ominisi and I agree but Chappelle being a white woman, she can’t opt out of that privilege. She has the privilege to be herself and be disruptive. Many black artists don’t get that privilege. Chappelle just happens to be talented which is great but, there are black artists who are disruptive and talented and set trends yet where are they? They aren’t on huge stages and having successful tours that they get the privilege to cancel. A black artist who was on the up and up could never cancel tour dates because they’re overwhelmed because those opportunities don’t come for us the same way they do for others. White artists get to sing about whatever they want to and have that freedom. Chappelle has that freedom to be the artist she wants to be.

[@AXFN_]

Among the black girls trying to make major break-throughs in Pop music, for example Chloe or Normani, or even African artists like Tyla, none of them have an album stronger than this Chappell Roan album. They just don't have the pen game. They're talented girls, with skills..but they have nothing to say...at least not anything that's clever, witty, refreshing. I'm far more bored by their music compared to anything Chappell Roan is doing. Chappell is an authentic messy, campy breath of fresh air - as is Charli XCX's during the 'Brat' era - it's engaging, it's unvarnished, it's carefree, it's fun, it's escapist, chaotic, it's not contrived or over-thought, it's not striving for perfectionism, it's just _being._ It's a departure from overly polished, overly curated Pop stars.

[@MrBroadway24]

I think for me, personally, the most important part of Chappell’s artistry and why I’M grabbed by her is because she is so OVERTLY and unapologetically queer and having that in the mainstream is amazing to see. I do find it frustrating as well that we often only see “pop girls” as they need to be clones of Britney Spears or someone like that and that they all have to follow the same formula of dancing and crazy visuals and 50 dancers and all of that. The expectation is really really terrible that female artists have to always do all of these things to ensure that people aren’t “bored” when they can and DO have impact by just being themselves. It’s largely Chappell’s relatability for people as a midwestern queer girl that she’s just like a girl’s girl onstage and isn’t trying to be like anyone but herself. To me, her performing the way she does with super gay lyrics is all I could really ask for and it makes me happy :)

Chappell absolutely did NOT vote for Trump. In fact, she said in an IG story “fu*k Trump” and that she was voting for Kamala Harris. Where the confusion came from is that she didn’t want to ENDORSE either candidate because, quote “I don’t agree with a lot of what is going on with policies. Obviously f*ck the the policies of the right, but also f*ck some of the policies on the left. That’s why I can’t endorse. “ The controversy was about her not wanting to endorse either candidate because she hates Trump and the conservatives but she also has issues with the Democrats. She’s actually more leftist than the Democrats (who, as a party, are pretty centrist actually). She clarified that she was voting for Kamala but voting is different than endorsing. She also has a MAJOR issue with how both parties are still supporting Israel, which is essentially helping to fund the genocide in Palestine as well as both being varying levels of transphobic. That’s why she wouldn’t endorse Kamala Harris. She still voted for her because the Conservatives and Trump go against literally everything she stands for. Just wanted to clear that up because so many people were spreading misinformation. Oh, btw, when asked what change she wanted to see in US politics she said, “Trans rights. They cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people. Period. Hope this clears up her politics for you. She’s basically more left than the left (at least the left representation in the Democrats).
