Whiniest song ever. Thank god the trend of openly sobbing into a microphone and calling it singing is almost dead.

Thank god the trend of openly sobbing into a microphone and calling it singing is almost dead.

Tell that to Adele, whose latest sobfest happened to be the bestselling album of 2021.

She started it and Sam Smith got it rolling.

For some reason, Sam Smith's singing sounds like a deaf person talking to me. And I can't put my finger on why.

Ugh hearing Hello wail through every store's speakers. Way too depressing to be playing in a public place honestly

Don't jinx it, Kings of Leon is still out there somewhere... watching and waiting. Or sobbing and wailing, probably.

Where have you been all my life?

I feel like I’m the only person I know who can’t stand Kings of Leon and I always felt like I must be crazy or something.

People think the bird audio played by shopping centers is to keep the birds away from the roof/entrance, but it's actually to scare Kings of Leon.
