Jesy Nelson's solo career - BOYZ ft. Nicki Minaj out now + not very good + problematic + DROPPED + now white + preggers + reality show

[Christian]

Ariana might want to take note.

 

[Peekaboo]

The Mirror is now smelling blood and picking up the blackfishing storyline.

The better way to go solo

Maybe deserves a new topic. Best solo debuts from band members

I’d just like to say that it’s only been a month or so since I first discovered Jesy isn’t actually mixed race. I’m quite astonished she’s been getting away with this for so long.

My sister just asked me the same question - she assumed she was mixed race (Jesy, not my flame haired sister).

I mean, it’s better than Boyz…

 

[Berly]

She’s not wrong

she's actually given up the blackfishing lately!

and not before time

I get the blackfishing complaint with Jesy but Ariana Grande has looked like the same beponytailed white girl, just in various shades of RONSEAL-brand self-tan, throughout her career.

 

[Lucille]

I do worry she won’t take this criticism WELL, she must have terrible management who let this catastrophe happen.

 

[ButterTart]

Right, I'm still digesting the Jesy revelations but are you now trying to tell me Ariana Grande is also supposed to be white?

Hiding the first Pink album and Christina Aguilera's second album from you as we speak.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm genuinely astonished at Ariana Grande's ethnicity, which I think is reasonable given the evidence:

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think I presumed Ariana was part Hispanic. I'd never really thought about it.

 

[Tisch]

I can't read all that, is she racist or not pls?

 

[Iguana]

Yes I never even thought Ariana was white but I don't know what I thought she was instead. How bizarre.

I always assumed mixed race black/Hispanic.

 

[Beverley]

at the turn this thread has taken

 

[COB]

I think she has Sicilian/southern Italian ancestry, so there's a BIT (just a bit) more plausibility to the "oh she just tans quite dark" stuff than the likes of Jesy

 

[COB]

*puts callipers away*

 

[Tisch]

She's Elm Park, let's not lie, the zone 6 energy JUMPS OUT.

Ariana tanned so Jessy could dip herself in BRONZER.

 

[Jark]

I'm actually about 95% sure that seeing the likes of Ariana and Kylie Jenner blatantly blackfishing without backlash will have shaped Jesy's self image. but she doesn't have the clout or social currency to get away with it. it's a debate nobody's really bothered having for years and now Jesy is being spotlighted for her role in it.

which... is unfortunate but honestly I feel no sympathy. we have to own our behaviours in this life you know?

 

[GNL]

There's only one person who can save Jesy's career now.

Geru knows (knew ) how a press op is done right

 

[Apoca]

Fast forward 3 years: Jesy Nelson locks herself in her car outside of Joel Corry's studio because he decides to give a song to Olivia Rodrigo instead

 

[PercyPig]

I always thought @Halli riding a horse to generate PROMO for any low rent artist was just a joke

Oh no

And down Old Compton Street too

As IF she'd ever be that interesting

She's losing her lead in the UK at least, though

 

[Rita]

America shocks me but I think she was definitely aiming more for that market, and not sure if Nicki is still a chart force there?

 

[Generic Account]

It played in the gym there and I didn’t think it stood out as particularly awful? I mean I didn’t like it, but it just blended in with everything else on Radio 1.

Haven’t seen the video yet.

 

[lolly]

Debuts at #12 on Spotify UK, not in the top 200 in the US, #107 on the global chart.

 

[lolly]

That's a decent start for the UK, isn't it? I imagine it will get a strong first midweek placing. It's just a question of how well it holds.
