Prada was my top song of this year and I had no idea who she was before then. (Didn’t realise she was the singer of escapism) and seeing the clip of her crying with her award made me feel so warm. She appreciated everything so much. Keep slaying queen. Can’t wait to hear what she has to come up with next! Am gunna go check her album now!
the taylor swift comment in the gweneth trial (16:19) was because taylor had also counter-sued people in the past for $1 so the lawyer was trying to see if she got the idea to counter-sue for a dollar from taylor. obviously don’t expect most people to know this as it’s pretty niche taylor lore
thank you once again for the very necessary deep dive into some of the most relevant moments in pop culture in 2023!!! also your mic is slaying (as well as your commentary)🫶🏼🫶🏼
Brilliant video 👏 I am HERE for it! And finally a youtuber from my own country that I actually love to watch!😅 love it mate, and love your whole vibe ❤
thank you SO MUXH for mentioning mr cigarette on call her daddy I've been missing this LEGENDARY moment in all the other 2023 recaps... doing the lords work
This is amazing. You should totally do this series with past years like a retro recap. Like 2010, 2005, 1999 id watch that! But this was excellent thank you
Noooo Lewis, the reason why everyone hated on Hailey beiber for the nepo baby top is because she changed right after into a plain white t!! She couldn’t even commit to the bit 👏🏻👏🏻
Oh, everyone, if you were hyped for Idol's original Script, please give Oshi no Ko a try. It's very good and it's basically everything we liked about the og idol Script.
bloody love your videos so much these are my favourite type of youtube videos ever, however i’d have to disagree on your point about PF2 having no resemblance to PF1 as i think it does, it’s playful, uses popular samples and features and overall i think her rapping style is similar, although i just hate when rappers make seconds to albums as to me it’s unnecessary. I think it’s insane for anyone to think roman reloaded is a better body of work than PF2
Edit: just thought I would preface this comment by clarifying that this is not a critique of Lewys but of the 2023 pop culture recaps I have watched so far ❤ The ethnic cleansing in gaza and violence in the west bank was such a major part of my life in the last few months that it feels weird not mentioning it. Especially as it did affect pop culture. The submarine was mentioned, deaths of celebrities were mentioned, but the 20k+ death toll wasn't?I don't see how something that instigated a shift in humanity and celebrity culture could've been omitted. It would be like doing a 2020 recap and not mentioning the imagine video, Vanessa Hudgens saying that people dying is inevitable, folklore, and Kim K's birthday. You know the bar for 2023 recaps is so low when I reacted positively to you mentioning Palestine, even though it was in the context of centring Melissa Barrera's firing. I appreciated it nevertheless. Not sure why people are still tip-toeing around this humanitarian crisis and genocide, at this point the situation is very black and white. And we all have a stake in this, no matter where we currently live. Anyway. I just wouldn't call this an encyclopaedia. History was made but the major point that will actually be in history books wasn't mentioned.
Maybe people are not mentioning it because it’s a literal war and a serious matter and not just a “pop culture moment”? I for example wouldn’t want to see a mentioning of thousands of dead people in the Russia-Ukraine war, because it’s a serious cause, not a light hearted thing that you could mention with a smile and humorous attitude as he had in this video. He is not discussing politics, this video was intended to be about celebrities and it was, because “pop culture moments” IS the compilation of celebrities and media, not a news report
@@mariyia @mariyia the genocide in Gaza had a very big impact on pop culture idk what to say. Lots of celebrities did weird shit. I get where you're coming from tho. I just think that, by that logic, mentioning the submarine thing would've been unnecessary. And if the submarine was mentioned because of the memes, what about the IOF's propaganda? It wasn't critiquing Lewys. Just sharing my thoughts on the pop culture recaps I had watched so far and how the absence of the genocide and its impact on pop culture, celebrity culture, and internet culture was just. Omitted.
@@mnilbydntkt i partially agree with you but about the submarine case - i think it is mentioned because of all the memes and everything but also because nobody is really considering their deaths a tragedy. Nobody is feeling sorry and pitiful for a bunch of reckless billionaires, everybody is treating it like a fun meme, whilst the deaths of thousands of civilians on both sides is not a funny thing at all so it’s not really suiting for such a fun humorous video. The ridiculous passing of a couple of wealthy and all of the memes related to it, on the other hand, suits the topic and the mood of the video.
I'm so glad for this, i don't keep up with anything pop culture so these are so fun at the end of the year to see what happened in the full (abridged) story! ❤
Really enjoyed the video. Only thing I’d like to point out is how many times you insisted you weren’t a Taylor Swift fan. It’s not necessary to clarify that so many times, it’s as if you can’t stand the thought of someone thinking you’re a swiftie. It’s a common sexist trope unfortunately, when people aren’t fans of others they just don’t mention anything but for Taylor Swift they feel the need to voice negative things. And it’s definitely because she is ‘girly’ which society equates with embarrassing. I just think it’s important to mention because it’s something that does contribute to sexism and I know that’s not what you stand for, so please be mindful of it in future, thank you xx Also I’d be really intrigued to see you make a video reacting to her eras tour movie. You might surprise yourself ! especially since I saw you called her mediocre on your podcast, it’s impossible to watch that concert and not gain huge respect for her skill
@@taralarsson7700 a) she is on the highest grossing tour of all time, by necessity she has to fly around the world, it isn’t fair to scrutinise her global travel considering the context of her career b) she has bought twice the amount of carbon credits as per her usage to offset it c) there are hundreds of male celebrities etc that have the same or more carbon usage that don’t have a good excuse like she does, that no one scrutinises. Because yes, the hyper focus and hyper criticism of her IS rooted in misogyny.
@@megandent5169 she is a wonderful person. She donates millions to good causes. She has spoken out for lgbtq, women, against racism, you name it. She has done way more good than any other major celebs but because of good old misogyny people love to criticise her
@@sb-mn6hwdon't reach lol. She took a pic with someone with a Nazi symbol and refused to acknowledge. Also making a song downplaying homosexuality is not speaking up against homophobia lol. Just because someone goes yay gays boo racist doesn't make them less shitty. She also tried to pull a child up into stage witch had no safe way to leave it then swiftly(pun) downplayed it like "she was so cute" like that's an excuse. She also just gives off the obvious privilege of a rich white billionaire. We don't hate her because she's a women LMAO. If that's the case there would be beef with people like Dolly parton and such. Calm down with defending someone who doesn't know you exist and doesn't give a shi about you 😘😘😘
Their creations are everywhere but who was pop cultures they created back at 1900s and born back from Southern California the grateful companions of the cult entertaining of entertainment by developing their creation from studios and years after they made it best we also made toys to bring them to life for centuries but now their coming to RUclips Disney Warner bros and other companies represents the newest vision based on those grateful legends pop culture you do want to become so popular
Re: Harry His album was critically acclaimed and won AOTY 9 times in 9 different countries He wasn't the one who made out weirdly, it was revealed it was Emily after she was spotted making out with someone else. We've seen Harry kiss elsewhere, he kisses normally
“name five chris brown crimes everybody live” genuinely laughed out loud
The planning that must’ve gone into this 👏🏽 thank you for providing Lewys 🙏🏽🙏🏽😫

Oh, everyone, if you were hyped for Idol's original Script, please give Oshi no Ko a try.
It's very good and it's basically everything we liked about the og idol Script.
I have a Yeti of black coffee, and one with ice water. Let's go.
Omg I just happened to be looking at the “subscribe” button at 46:25 and that’s so cool
Someone make one for 2024 SO MUCH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED
the ice spice collab couldn’t have been a backtrack thing, timeline wise. plus they’re really close friends irl
Honestly one of the most talented and original RUclipsrs. I AM OBSESSED with your deep dives
scooter braun retired thank gawwwd he's prob going to hide on a remote island somewhere
This was so entertaining
bloody love your videos so much these are my favourite type of youtube videos ever, however i’d have to disagree on your point about PF2 having no resemblance to PF1 as i think it does, it’s playful, uses popular samples and features and overall i think her rapping style is similar, although i just hate when rappers make seconds to albums as to me it’s unnecessary. I think it’s insane for anyone to think roman reloaded is a better body of work than PF2
watching this while doing my nighttime skincare routine
This was amazing
Edit: just thought I would preface this comment by clarifying that this is not a critique of Lewys but of the 2023 pop culture recaps I have watched so far ❤
