I dont get the Lorde hype
 

Shes average, nothing special.
Overrated cause shes 16.
Royal isnt even that good to be a bloody worldwide number 1.

anyone think the same?

my favourite picture of Lorde is this one

i don't even know who she is

she's a knob

:joker:

The girl strikes me as being a bit conceited but there are far worse teen role models out there and she's only a young'un so ... whatever, really.

I'm not a massive fan but it's piss easy to see why Royals done as well as it did. It's catchy and ethereal sounding and it's got a weird, beautiful looking young adult at the helm who is acting drastically different to say a Miley Cyrus.

The video is hilarious as well. It seems to be a long sequence of Eastern Europeans being bored on their day off.

She's the sort of artist I would normally like but Tennis Court and Royals are both terrible. Also what Jordan said. http://i.imgur.com/i2BFVD2.png

I think she's pretty

I've no idea who you're on about.

She has like 3 good songs.

i also don't know who she is

This.

Don't really get the massive hype but at least she's interesting without sex based gimmicks.

The thing is she isn't interesting. She's been scouted by a major label and been written up as this massive "alternative" character when in fact she's just as much of an industry pawn as Cyrus.

Her songwriting is average at best and there're countless better artists making music.

I'll hate her forever if she ****ing beats Arcade Fire to #1 next week.

Royals is bland yes I agree, but we should all love her for keeping that loathsome twat James Arthur off the top spot.

I'll give her Royals, it's a pretty good song [not #1-worthy but still], and there're a couple of other decent ones (400 Lux, Tennis Court), but there're also terrifically dull ones.

Royals is mildly better than the other crappy music out right now

She's a complete dullard.

..yeah, she is a very bland performer..I've only seen her once on Jools Holland..I didn't think she was without talent though.....

The best thing about Royals is drunk people singing the chorus. There is the first "royals" which one person sings then about 12 other people do the choir, high pitched "royalllllllllllllllls!" complete with jazz hands in the air.

I've experienced this. It's quite something.
