Every single one of Camila's threads on the CHR forum has been a mess. Remember "Never be the Same"? That thread was a MESS. The commentary after every update from that troll user was always... interesting. I'm not a troll, I'm a fan.

No dear, Mayman was talking about the man, the myth, the legend, GHOST. I was a mere lurker here back then, but even I remember how he used to troll on every radio update NBTS got by saying how it was flopping. Honestly if this song does as well as NBTS I'll be over the moon.

Camila's third era is already a DISASTER! In her first live performance of her new single, she has a dancer in clear blackface. She addressed it, and now the era is dead on arrival, she's getting outstreamed by Lorde's album track in the US. A PANNED FLOP! I guess those racial healing sessions didn't help right?

I did understand it was sort of meant to be a joke? Like on telenovelas, we used to watch everyday during lunch and people did have these terrible tans and shit. But considering her past struggles with race issues, her team really fumbled it.

Even if what she said was true, blackface is not some 80's aesthetic/vibe we want to revive, girl.

Yikes. That notes app “apology” was awful. Even if Camila didn’t directly give him the orange tan herself, she should’ve taken accountability for her and her team’s actions. The note shows how little she has learned from these racist rehabs/camps she claimed to have gone through…

It doesn't look like blackface at all to me, it's a cheap garbage tan. She deliberately made a white man spray tan to make him look "ethnic" instead of just getting a Latinx dancer. And it doesn't help that the dancer is using emojis like this on this Instagram story.

He looks like a douche white guy with a cheap garbage tan. Which is what she said he was supposed to look like. Getting a dancer of Latin origin and making them that character sounds like a way worse idea. The emoji thing isn't good at all though, I agree.

"Latin songs don't do well on streaming" in the same year telepatia, Yonaguni, DAKITI, and Todo De Ti were big streaming hits IN THE US Mmm What? Camila’s song doesn’t have anything to do with those songs. For starters, Camila’s song is like 95% in English. Most importantly, this is NOT the same genre as any of those songs, unless we are playing the race card and talking about Latin music as music done by Latin artists which is wrong. Camila’s song is not reggaeton like Yonaguni or DAKITI, or pop like Todo de ti, or r&b like Telepatía. It’s like saying that What’s next, Blinding lights, Come through, and Heaven down here are all the same genre

Yeah I’m rooting for her and for this song. I am on her side in regards to her addressing the tan. It’s clear what it is however it shouldn’t have been done given her history. It’s just common sense. Sad that this song is being plagued with that mess. Wish her the best!

I am aware it is not in the same field as the songs I mentioned, I was simply saying it flopping because it's a latin song is a poor excuse

Oh Camila, why don't you hire a better publicist? I don't think what happened was done with malicious intentions, or that Camila did it herself, but the apology could've been worded way better. An okay-ishly worded apology always works well. That's how Rihanna got away with offending Muslim and Hindu people last year (though she didn't even need an apology for her racism against Asians to be excused and ignored 🤭).

It's alright and the video is fun but I'm still not sure what she's bringing to the table as an artist? Hum This is the most tropical Latin song we’ve heard in eons as a main pop single. It’s not like Despacito or Rompe that crossed over from Latin. It’s been a long time. And I’m loving it! Plus she’s owning the whole telenovela character attitude in her music. I’m not even talking about the video (we couldn’t watch it today), but in terms of image and vocals. She’s becoming a Latin pop artist ala Estefan and I think that’s a great positioning for her. If this song is as successful as I’m hoping, she’s carved a good and different lane Sums up my thoughts completely also! Before I heard this for the first time, I saw the words “talk-singing” or something like that in this thread and dreaded what I was about to hear but cranking this in the car on a hot summer night was everything I needed on my way home from a business trip. I repeated the track several times because the hook was so instant for me! The talk-singing does make me think of what a Latin-tinged Gwen Stefani track would sound like in 2021, even down to the vocal inflections and everything, but that’s not a bad thing, IMO. I LOVE how fresh the instrumentation sounds compared to everything else on CHR and am here for it smashing the rest of the summer and into fall. Let’s go, Karla!

Ma’am! 🥴 The song is already Gloria Estefan mixed/meets Ashlee Simpson vía the impeccable Boys with those rough vocals on the 2nd verse. Girl needs to beef up her vetting process and that includes her inner staff and team.

I'd be surprised if that had any real traction or impact on her career. to be fair, I don't think she's popular with the gp & hasn't been for a while... and I'm not sure that having a tumblr filled with racist content as a teen is necessarily worse than having a dancer in brown face on national tv (and having that dancer joke about said brown face on social media). they're both pretty awful & racist. if anything, this shows that she hasn't grown or learned since her initial controversy, which is arguably worse demeanor than having done it in the first place. we literally had a MAGA song debut in the Top 20 the other week tho so... maybe she can find her niche. :kii:

You know, after going through racial sensitivity training (which...do we think she even went or just claimed she did?) I figured she would know that painting someone's face to look a different race as a joke is probably not the move, even though I get what they were going for lol.
I haven't heard a whisper about this scandal online though, but also I haven't really seen anything about her or the song at all. It's weird. I thought she was still huge with young people? It will be interesting to see how this does on streaming.
