That’s the first time I’ve seen that Selena performance and I genuinely assumed it was one of those performances where someone had overdubbed it with really bad vocals like that Jessie J video. That’s real?!?

Alright you little pricks let's keep going.

SCORE: 4.149

HIGHEST SCORE: 9 x 1 (@ufint)
LOWEST SCORE: 0 x 4 (@Dangerous Maknae @theelusivechanteuse @allyshone @happiestgirl)
MY SCORE: 5/10 apparently??????

Is it bad that I'm actually a bit surprised at my own score? I did my scores on the fly just before the rate opened and was the first person on the spreadsheet so I don't even really remember my thought process. I think maybe all the issues I have with the song stem from the person talking feebly over it. Like, it's boring as hell, but it's generally... average if you ignore the exhausted Bieber narrative and the voice on it positively parrying, blocking, and dodging a single musical note.

Honestly, I mostly have nothing but pity for Selena Gomez at this point. Truly, no word of a lie. Everything she tries... she's bad at. Successful at? Obviously. But actually excelling at? The poor girl. I sometimes wonder about the talented person out there somewhere living an ordinary life because the changeling of pop stole their space in the pantheon. She cannot sing, she cannot perform. She cannot write a good song. She cannot act (and is only getting hired by sexual predators). She cannot give a good interview. She cannot even compose a hilarious tweet, which is the prime currency for most of the girls y'all stan on the main forum at the moment whose years in the industry outnumber the amount of songs they've released but the album is coming this year, they swear! It's just... the total collapse of aptitude. Imagine being so horrible at everything you do for a living and imagine having to live with everyone around you obviously knowing it too. Poor thing.

Nothing brought this into sharper focus than when Selena got up on stage at the American Music Awards and the "Lose You To Love Me" instrumental started playing behind her. A changeling exposed! A demon unmasked! I dance around (more than she did) the word "performance" because... well... what happened up there didn't really qualify, did it?

It's delightful when talentlessness exposes itself on national television. I don't think Selena has been sighted in public since. But changelings tend to flee once the jig is up, I guess. Below is the four minute car crash that opened the American Music Awards (which was never uploaded onto any official channel...), and just underneath it is the In Memoriam video they'll play at the Radio Disney Awards this year when eulogising the pop career of one of their most useless alumni. Truly, a worthless presence in pop music. Bye!

What an asinine and insipid song. Bye!

Lose You To Love Me on its own isn't an irredeemable song, just very....Frozen 2. I would love to hear a singer sing it.

I think the song plays into the same garbage melodrama that Cheryl built a career out of, i.e. take a reasonable pop song and bestow whatever personal life bullshit she’s going through on top of it and having the public lap it up as if it’s a meaningful statement on said bullshit, when it’s really just a generic pop song written by somebody for anybody. It’s exhausting. Justin Bieber is literally married, get a grip of yourself Selena.

Lose You to Love Me got some plays out of me when it was first released and then again when Rare was released, but that’s all down to the lyrics instead of who’s singing it. They reflect the situation I found myself in with a lot of family members now my mother’s death is actually hitting a lot of them after I took the brunt of it for a year and a half without any help from any of them. So I decided to distance myself from them.

Hence a high-ish score from me.

I agree, though, that Selena’s performance is the most nothing-y of this entire rate, seaux... she most definitely deserves her placement here.

There’s...nothing redeemable about Lose You to Love Me. The chorus doesn’t even sound like it fits with the tempo, the way the lyrics stumble over one another. The parent album’s biggest offense is how wafer thin it is but the mining for some semblance of depth here somehow manages to be the worst thing about it.

Okay now I begin praying for Ava's life as far as the extras go, she'll probably be one of the next from the section but I'm hanging on the hope that the haters didn't hand 0s out to it.
