zahidf Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Shes apologised and made changes, and it seems clear she wont do it again. Willing to give her the beenfit of the doubt that it was an honest mistake and we can move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
found home in 2009 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 45 minutes ago, Isaact said: It's not an ableist word in the US, at all. Particularly not in black communities. She's made the right move here and it's good that she removed it so quickly but saying 'she should know better' is the kind of British exceptionalism that makes us all look like twats. Someone at the record company should have definitely noticed though, I find it hard to believe the song got all the way to release without a British person hearing it. I'd wondered if the word didn't have the same connotations in America as I remember Tiger Woods using it in an interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazbang Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I found some Americans on TikTok (too old I know) complaining about the word 'nippy' because it has racial overtones in the US. Surprising it wasn't spotted earlier, but I'm good with Lizzo's reaction, no need go all cancel culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannybruck Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 The album is out today and is great fun, and has at least another couple of hits she's going to get under her belt. Will absolutely kill an inevitable sub slot for Elton or whoever next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Think she’s bound to sub tbh. Feel very confident in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good but bloody hell it reminds me of a big 80s American pop song and I can’t place which one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Dunno if I like the album but it’s not really about whether I like it or not. If Lorde can sub, Lizzo can sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanh Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Lizzo's upped her game this album cycle, the videos I've seen from the tour so far and her GRAMMYs performance have been top tier, cannot wait to see her on the Pyramid with a nice sunset!
