I’m not saying you have to enjoy the album but belittling someone’s documentation of going thru a very real and terrifying disease is just disgusting. You can express empathy for someone going thru cancer but also just admit the execution or songwriting didn’t connect with you. But when you have the audacity to say someone going thru cancer sounds “whiny” or “edgy”, that’s just disrespectful on a humane level. It goes beyond music
And Fantano has been able to trash music before without belittling the real issues those people are going thru so the fact he did this to Halsey speaks to how s*** he is
Damn fam why you got me defending fantano
i don't funk with that nigga
I went and read the transcript of the review
He wasn't aware of her health issues at
all
He at no point made any reference to any health issues & clearly didn't know, there were no indicators or things said that could even allude to him knowing.
He just talked about her sounding whiney/tacky writing/main character syndrome/cheesy lyrics/sounding like the songs are supposed to be a part of a bad 90s/00s teen flick rather than on a serious album
(Main character syndrome because of the melodrama/positioning herself next to a bunch of GOATs etc etc, over the top tacky lyrics)

Just because he didn’t make a reference to it doesn’t mean he didn’t know. And a lot of people called him out online over it and he said he was aware she had cancer but said she still came off in that way. So yeah, there’s no way he didn’t know. He literally researches the artist and the making of the album of every review he does
She speaking tho

Miguel, f*** Fantano fr he lost me when I first saw him in 2009 with the unique edits that was new to YouTube, he only got big because he was a contrarian

Who cares he gave a bad review?
/thread
notrealmusic really monkeypawed that discussion into reality its so funny
i saw this thread like 'why are they bumping a 2023 year old halsey thread' and its new s***
I feel like yall should actually watch his review, it was 5% music and 95% character assasination because she talked about her depression with chemo, childbirth and her label doing shady s***, all within months Btw
Imagine watching him in 2026 lmao, I believe her off that strength of her anger. Who actually likes fantano?
Y'all realy made this into a 8 page thread
I mean no s*** Fantano reviews will be remembered more than Halsey's songs the way it's going lol
That being said

the fact that down the line fantano actually managed to get to people by just saying his thoughts on albums is so funny to me. back in however many years i wouldnt think anyone would care about some dude music reviews other than random invested fans here and there
i wouldnt say that normally but people be stupid
She’s right f*** him
I mean this is genuinely one of the worst reviews of all time to call someone going thru cancer “whiny”
She deserves to call him out
After backlash, Anthony Fantano has responded properly. What are we thinking?
https://twitter.com/theneedledrop/status/2068863401669861593He’s such a p**** ass b**** he does this everytime no one is saying disliking the album is the issue that’s not all u did

I'm not a Fantano fan at all and haven't watched any of his reviews by choice in a decade (had some pitchfork/music review site friends in real life back in the day)
All I've seen since are this one (because of the hubbub & a thread on here, and again today after being in this thread) & a Gunna review posted on KTT2 (for Wunna I think, if wasn't worth the watch
)
Loud & clear famo
Damn she mentioned 4chan
Anthony Fantano in quotes in the title is killing me
First peggy, now halsey
Why do some artists get so butthurt over music critics
She has 51 million Spotify listeners, 66th worldwide.
Pay no attention to that man
ur already more rich and famous
Fantano gave Lingua a 10/10 for an album she made about her abusive relationship with Alexis Marshall
This tweet feels wack given his track record
