      More than you can ever imagine, apparently the music industry today, doesn’t care about talent, if you have a big audience from being active online it’s enough. Yet few months back they complained about not having anyone but Olivia Rodrigo and ice spice

      @@Dimaz42 when he was younger, he had a recording contract, but it fell thru before his album made it. He's made efforts on talent shows, but because he's spent a lifetime singing in subways, his vocal skills are now tuned to that environment and he doesn't sound as good in open air.
      Sad but true.

      que tiene que ver el autotune? la musica comercial pop no solo el trap tienen mas de 50 años usando el autotune en grabacion de discos etc. El hecho de que un cantante no lo use es porque no quiere, son herramientas al alcance de todos, otra cosa es usar autotune para modificar la voz y no tener madera de cantante. just sayin'

Think about it, Ed sheeran had an interview about him getting drunk and everything, but that's not the theme of his music. So it's somewhat got to do with drugs and alcohol.

    I'm from Slovakia and I would really like to go around this gentleman and hear him live. All due respect to his performance, I listen to this track over and over again. And I also like his character and modesty. Hat down
