The one song I've heard from her is about her getting her driver's license, and her off-key screaming makes my ears bleed. She seems too bland and uninteresting to last very long. She'll have to do the Christina/Miley "Out-of-control", Britney meltdown, or drug-addict Demi stunts to survive, but it will be really corny by then.

I don't know. Driver's license is one of the few huge hits in recent years i can understand why is so successful and she has a very pleasant voice (at least the recorded voice).
In the past teen singers dissapered pretty fast but now they are way more persistent and most of them are smart enough to keep acting

She wrote a whole album of Taylor type bitter songs about a dude who doesnt love her back coz he’s gay. Sorry girlfriend, I know youre young and you seem sweet, but maybe your gaydar will get better with age. I have to give her props for igniting the imagination of the tiktok generation and she appears to be a decent enough singer.

R8 Pop music isn't universal like it used to be in the time of MJ, Madonna, Britney, Mariah, etc. You really don't know about any pop singer unless you actively follow them. This Olivia girl, I've really never heard of until this thread popped up. I know Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Harry Styles because they're in mainstream media. Yet I've yet to see an ad, article or video of this chick. Also, Disney pop stars aren't as mainstream, I was young when Hilary Duff and Jesse McCartney were popular Disney stars but virtually no adult knew or cared about them. This is just a repeat of that just with my generation.

I just listened to the Driver's License and it was meh. Forgettable. Nothing remarkable. I felt like I've already heard a voice and singing technique like this before. Like those "singers" that Disney spits out every decade or so. Mariah in her debut single "Vision of Love" was singing at the level of legend compared to these pop bitches of today.

I listened to the song and she sounds annoying and whiny. Her voice is mediocre and she has no range. Why is she famous and why does Disney keep pushing the worst singers in the world? Ironic that Nickelodeon had Ariana Grande and she's a real singer and outsings every chick Disney pushed.
Jazmine Sullivan and JoJo are other real singers who released albums recently. Please support them.

She's a teen pop star and given I didn't hear about her until this thread. So, I can see that she isn't being pushed like Billie Eilish or Camila Cabello onto mainstream audiences. Maybe she is low-key and not an attention whore, so that's why. I'm not that impressed by her at all and her singing leaves much to be desired but I hope she has a good head on her shoulders. She's young, so she can improve if she is ambitious enough.
Also being popular on Spotify and YouTube is nowhere close to the same as being huge on Top 40 Radio, always on TV and on the cover of all of the magazines. There is no more superstars that are universally known anymore because the music industry is more fragmented and artists have to appeal to a more niche audience. I would say Gaga, Adele, Taylor Swift and Rihanna were probably the last of that superstar breed. So of course, people on DL may not have heard of her unless we are following her and watching her Disney show.

There are smart young female singers... Lorde is one. Taylor Swift even had skills. Fiona Apple was brilliant and started very young.
Olivia Rodrigo is a bratty child actor who whines thru song and song about her ex boyfriend who turned out to be gay. She’s no artist. She’s also severely anorexic. And here’s a fun twist - apparently she stole most of her photo ideas and the video concept for “good 4 u” from another less popular indie girl. The young people have been posting about it on tik tok and rodrigo’s people keep getting the tik tok’s deleted. I saw a thread about it on twitter. So she’s also incapable of original ideas.
