The Petras Problem/ Is It Transphobic If None Of The Cis Stars Can Sing Either Lmfao
I can’t imagine being a pop star nowadays
It started with Katy Perry’s firework
Then went to Adele’s various live flops
But the standard
For artists like
Kim Petras
OR Sophie, RIP
Or Mavi Phoenix
To sound the way
Their singles do
Is often more than they can provide,
IRL
It was a bit heartbreaking to hear Kim Petras
And Troy Sivan
And honestly
Any of the queer headliners nowadays
Except lil nas—
All of them suck ass live
I get it, it’s the whole
Billie Eillish problem —
You got famous humming into your laptop
In your bedroom
and now you’ve got to go on stage
And do something besides
Press play.
