lmao I could see high school but MIDDLE SCHOOL???!?!?

Peanut Butter Pikachu I thought she was 14 I'm shook

Peanut Butter Pikachu Hh

Ye I thought she was 13

YES FINALLY!!! GET THIS TO THE TOP

Thank you for a less aggressive approach lol. So, the answer is no. When I made this, I had no idea about that and found out soon after. Now I've gotten 10+ comments being like, "SHE'S A FAKE! SHE IS WORTHLESS! KILL HER". And it's sketchy for sure, but I don't know how that would effect her KZfaq videos, which were a major talking point of this^^^^^video. Idk it's weird, for sure, but like you, I'm still a fan

people always need to hate, smh

Rocky Kastro you think having a connection at FADER is a big deal lol? Jesus Christ bro fader doesn't pop an artist

Thanks dude! Love your videos too!

Two of my favorite video essay creators!

Bruh I have just watched 5 videos in a row that you have commented on, your fucking everywhere.

you should watch kaptainkristian

thank you!!

Couldn’t agree more, I got that vibe from him

nah this is literally all of his videos

name nah they just say that for any attractive artist

@@thomaszhang5437 Nah bro OBVIOUSLY he's just in love with everyone he talks about

@@thomaszhang5437 he makes videos about artists he is in love with and thinks deserve more exposure. So of cause "he's just in love with everyone he talks about" since he only makes videos of artists *IF* he likes them. This is literally by choice, use your brain.

Her comments on Instagram/Twitter are disgusting. Do I think she's gorgeous? Yes. Does that have anything to do with her being a great musician? No. She's a college student that has to deal with hundreds of creeps sexualizing everything she does on a daily basis and I really feel for her. Everybody be nice and respect people

ugh u are the best! keep doing what u do

and she’s open about it. so what if she got links? lmao.

Oh no, person working in extremely exploitative industry signs with company she knows and her father works for, so she can feel safe. 10/10 industry plant :0

@@Oscar__Davison I have no problem with her using her links to promote her music, but so much of her appeal comes from the false idea she came up organically. That's especially proven in this video.

Will Hush i think everyone who is a fan of clairo knows she had connections and people who just like to listen to her don’t care about her background, but that’s just how i think.

@@okaythen4974 there's nothing wrong with that at all of course, I just don't agree when people pretend she had a more organic background because it's her aesthetic.

thank you!!

Dennis U But I guess she found her audience even tho the fader video and all are pretty shady. Idk.

Yeah I thought the guy was gonna talk about that

Who cares?

You can tell shes DIY. Fuck whoever her family is

angela g Yeah I don't get that. If you have no talent, all the $ and connections in the world will still get you nowhere. Well, in the music world anyway. "Reality" TV is a different animal. Also her dad is no music marketing guru. He worked for soda companies, Starbucks, and Converse. Not the same. At best he could have maybe helped get in a door or two, but then you still have to not suck or you'll never get anywhere. The irony though is she has videos going back to when she was a kid online, she's been at it for nearly a decade and by no means "blew up out of nowhere" like all of these morons think just because they read a wiki page and saw "marketing".

Josefa Vlogs EXACTLY

Ikr

Mac Demarco is ugly as shit and he got famous. With the internet talented people who keep making shit are gonna find success

Barry B Benson Men are "allowed to be ugly" sadly

Shut yo ugly ass up

Carson Eastman bring this comment to light. We need both sides to the argument

You're not even talking about being authentic, you're talking about being rare and special. What if she is being herself and a lot of other girls are like her? You don't have to be special to be authentic, the two aren't related at all. But I do question how she blew up so quick and her singing live looked like someone who can't believe she finessed her way this far, or she could've been nervous idk.

tired Someone didn't read my full comment

tired her dad works in media or something and has worked with like coca cola... not sure if the company’s true or whatever but im sure hes had an influence in her success seeing hes had such a big career in distribution/advertisement

I get your point, but I would argue she is actually authentic... for example in "pretty girl" the video is quite unique wouldn't u say ? a video shot in her room with just her dancing around plus her singing style itself is a major part of why I would call her authentic. the dreamy laid-back almost sleepy singing voice is one i haven't heard before tbh so i can say she is authentic in some ways or maybe you could say "pretty girl" is authentic

sad but true, it's an unfair world

thank you! appreciate it

thank you sm!

THANK U

thank you!!

ikr her daddy was already rich

thanks! appreciate it

thank YOU

Mr.Wobbles hell yeah!!!! Mr wobbles!! Love your videos dude it's cool too see you here! ^~^

I completely agree about everything you said

I think I was always salty about her becoming popular because there is other bedroom pop bands that I think deserves it more.

Mr.Wobbles There's nothing fake about it though. For one, she has videos going back like half a decade under a handful of names. They hardly have any hits or plays on Sound cloud. She by no means "blew up out of nowhere" as ppl are suggesting because they just now heard of her. 2nd, her dad wasn't a music industry guy. He worked for soda companies, Starbucks and Converse shoes promoting physical products. 3rd, I've never once seen or heard her try to claim anything people say about her (still small) rise. It's like they just make shit up and decide it's fact, then decide she betrayed them on it. It's insane!

Beastly G she still isn't bedroom pop lmao

:') appreciate you

We're not sure if cairo actually made them🤷‍♂️

Ok but even if your parents are famous no ones going to listen if its trash like when you listen to someone who can't dig do you support them no so in reality she really would be here without fame because she has talent

That doesn’t come out in her music, her art and that’s all that matters. You can hear it and see it through her music that he genuinely likes what she does and she’s an artist.

Actually she started her music on her own and gained success on her own thereafter her father's friend who worked in the music industry helped to sign her to a label.

thanks! appreciate it. and lol maybe someday! not sure many people are too interested in who I am right now

trust me I wasn't too sure either lol. Her name being "Claire" helped a lot

RIP DIO

I always said "Clair-ee-oh" haha

Same

CheesecakeLasagna you pronounce Cairo like kai-row tho????

probably at some point! love Mac

VanAxe YES

grossss

Definitely

still unreleased lol

"bedroom pop"? "they" deserve? She's not, she's a plant by her dad and his music industry friends. "Pretty Girl" was blatantly at least mastered in the Converse music studio her dad helps run. Bedroom pop my ass.

PHat in a hat well whether her dads company helped or not, her Music is still amazing. You could criticize many people for starting off with help and connections but you don’t because they are talented people, i love her voice that’s not something her dad made for her. Also yes, it’s called bedroom pop, that’s just the genre of music - you look on Spotify at the bedroom pop playlist and the cover is Literally her face. Would you call Selina Gomez not a pop singer because she had connections when she begun her career? No cuz it’s just the genre that’s it. I know of this whole controversy and i agree she should be more transparent with her fans but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have talent and it doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve recognition, if anything it’s great that she’s getting the help that a lot of people wish they could get

She's pop, but she ain't really bedroom. Probably a connection of her dad's got her that Spotify placing as well. She's an industry plant pretending to have DIY, made it on my own beginnings - there are thousands of girls uploding vids of themselves singing pop songs in their bedrooms who are genuinely trying to make it by themselves and being brave by taking a jump in to the unknown; actual bedroom pop wouldn't have industry backing and studio help from the get go. If anything it's NOT great that she's getting the help that a lot of people wish they could get, because she's taking resources away from those people who had been doing the same thing on more genuine terms - i.e. that she is already somehow the poster girl for "bedroom pop" is a joke, it's like making Drake the poster boy for a "gangster rap" playlist...

PHat in a hat alright well I suppose her being a bedroom pop artist is just a matter of opinion. To me, she has the lofi sound most other bedroom pop songs do, and works with many other artists known in the community such as mellow fellow. I consider bedroom pop as the song itself rather than the artist and what they have done but i get your point that the idea of bedroom pop is for it to be raw and unprofessional. What i do feel however is that bedroom pop is really the only genre where this is criticized that much, we never judge people on the radio for having connections and becoming famous because of this and if we do well i guess i don’t care so i just don’t hear of it lol, I’m worried that people will come down too hard on clairo in a way they don’t with other singers when she is genuinely talented. I guess if you look at bedroom pop as the process as well as the sound it’s unfair for her to label herself as a bedroom pop artist but the bottom line for me personally is that there’s something unique about her voice that i appreciate and want to celebrate.

fine, if you still like her, though truly raw, unedited and unprofessional she really is poor: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frlii5agz6mpnmw.html And as I say, it's not just bedroom pop which gets the same kind of stick, rappers get regularly hated on if they pretend to be ghetto or gangster when they've had a comfortable upbringing.
