one of my current favorite musicians is halsey, who also doesn't really have an amazing voice (and she says so herself) but she's a great song writer and boy does she have the looks (i might be slightly in love but shh), and also a great marketing/management team behind her, emma has literally none of those things, if she was a gleamer i might have given her the benefit of the doubt, but in this situation nah son, not gonna happen
she's making a huge mistake, not about her beauty channel bc she clearly doesn't even use that one anymore and she was a complete disaster at it, but her gaming videos weren't bad, and she seemed to enjoy doing those, i hope she re thinks her decision because i might not like her but i still don't want her to fuck up for some reason
I get the feeling she thinks she's going to be the next Troye Sivan: break-out musician from youtube. Buuut.. What is she even thinking? "I'm a musician who vlogs"? Um no, she's a straight-up youtuber who sometimes does music. I wonder if this is tied up with her jealousy/whatever about Dodie, who is actually a musician on youtube. The majority of Dodie's videos are
music. I get Emma wanting to better focus her "brand", but it seems really short-sighted
or delusional to base her decisions on the possibility of people searching her name after this tour. I'm sure it's a big deal for her, but it's not like it's one step away from her selling out stadiums. She's an unknown support act.
I've never even heard of Busted, but whatever their popularity, the people at the shows are going to be there for
them. People don't tend to care much about the support acts, especially if they're fairly mediocre... So she's going to straight-up delete channels on the off-chance a handful of people search for her name and get confused when there's more than one channel to choose from? Because these hypothetical people apparently don't understand anything about the internet or having more than one interest...? She's giving the finger to over 200K people (her subscribers on those channels) in favour of X? dumb
potential randoms. Cool business strategy.
Also what was up with her getting salty in the video about people wanting her channel or channel name? She just can't help herself from being randomly and unnecessarily negative and off-putting in anything she does. It's fascinating.
ALSO what's up with the whole pewdiepie/Revelmode thing? Isn't that a gaming thing that she's connected with? Or is it not just gaming, I actually don't know. I just think overall she has unrealistic expectations of what this tour is actually going to do for her as a "musician"..
