Update: All the respect I had for Gabbie for growing and reaching out and sending me this book? Gone. Completely. Straight after this video was published she went crying to our one and on my mutual friend about it in an attempt to guilt trip me and ask I not make anymore. I’m so over all that childish drama. You sent me a book, it got reviewed. That’s how the world works. Edit: My mistake, I misunderstood: she went crying to him about me making the review before I published it and he only told me after it was published. It was never explicitly said it was a guilt trip but I see no other reason for either of them to say any thing / reach out other than to get me to change / stop / take down my review. But it still stands that she reaches out to me and sent me her book with the implication that I’d review it and then cried to our only mutual friend about being ‘messed up’ over the fact I was reviewing it. I only did what she asked for and her going to Jimmy like that feels like an intentional way to stir the pot. A review is a review. I reviewed the book, not Gabbie. Telling me ‘Gabbie is scared of your review’ or whatever is not going to change the content of the book and therefore not going to change how I reviewed it. I stand by my review 100% but also feel incredibly manipulated and disgusted by this whole situation.

Start this by saying I never watch gabbie I came here from Trisha who I am a big fan of and she agrees w this girl. However All of her videos are negitive opinions on things . And opinions are a little different she has so many hidden rude jokes that don’t need to be in here for example Its not a opinion when she said it could have been half the size and still a disappointment, that’s bashing she made jabs like this throughout the whole thing. over half of her videos are ab gabbie or other famous people shows she tryna get clout which is fine but most videos are in a negitive light, kinda weird right :/. everyone saying she just giving a review notice her just saying really negitive things and repeating them for no reason through this whole video then right after Quickly saying something gabbie does decent like youtube story times so it can seem like what she said before wasnt her bashing.. big difference. BUT she did critique too I’m not saying she bashing ! Just some of it was just mean instead of trying to help and give gabby hope to get better. What upset me the most to say anything was she says she should stay making story times Bc she lacks skill in poetry.. that right there is not okay everyone starts off bad at things u apply work to get better! I don’t think gabby should stick to that plus if she wasn’t trying to actually do harm she wouldn’t have told her that. NEGITIVE NOT NEUTRAL. whether the books good or not u don’t tell someone to stop doing something bc u don’t think there good enough. I think it’s good gabbie is learning and she should continue till she gets better or if she likes it continue the same:) IF this girl wanted to help RIGHT AFTER CRITICISM AND BASHING SHE COULD ATLEAST TELL HER TO KEEP TRYING.

I think poetry is one of the most difficult art forms out there. It's not something you can just throw down on paper and be automatically good at. Certainly, you can have a natural talent for wordsmithing, but crafting a good poem takes real dedication and focus.

@nuloom 2 жыл бұрын

as a person who practices many forms of art, including flatbrush, pointed brush, and pen calligraphy, drawing, playing 2 instruments, and a bit of writing, i disagree with your view. Poetry is a difficult art form, but so is any one of them. They all require countless hours of practice, 40 hours everyday some might say, to get good at. It’s debatable whether or not any of them could be mastered at all. Some approaches to creating art can be easier than others, perhaps but nothing eliminates the constant practice needed to improve or even just maintain your skill level. Poetry and other forms of creative writing are no exception to that in my opinion. Some languages and some forms make it easier to achieve given effects. I know this could sound like a copout: “they’re all equally hard in their own unique ways ✨✨✨ and let’s not think about difficulty ever again” - but i’m actually going for a very specific point here. Essentially when you progress as an artist, your critical skills grow together with your practical skills, so the barrier of proficiency or expertise/“mastery” is entirely arbitrary. We live under a globalised capitalist system where a lot of people dedicate their lives to certain art forms and so we kinda have benchmarks all the way up to the ‘lifetime dedication’ level. If you don’t know the names, you’ll just have to trust me on this statement; the calligraphic skill of Gerrit Noordzij and the improvisational skill of Chopin seem to me just as unattainable as the writing of any great writer, be it Ursula K. LeGuin, Madeline Miller, Osamu Dazai, Jane Austen, Patrick Rothfuss, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Gabriel García Márquez. If the arts allow you to put the same time and attention to understanding twenty-six letters as to using one hundred thousand words, it seems futile to compare the difficulty one craft to another; the learning only ends after one stops practicing or dies. i wish i could end this with that last sentence because i really like it, but i will back-paddle here a bit to say that i see where your point is coming from. We all wrote school essays and we all speak some language, so it may seem easier to do things with it than to start with a different form of art - but it’s not. In my opinion, this is where that argument ends; it’s not easier or harder, it requires just as much attention as any other domain of the arts or crafts. whew that was long

She’s taking on waaaay too much for where she’s currently at. If she took the same amount of effort it took her to write a whole poetry book, and just focused that into writing ONE good poem, or maybe FIVE good poems...maybe she’d create something truly valuable.

The problem here is that Gabbie doesn’t seem to care if it’s good content, just that it sells.

the thing that really gets under my skin re: gabbie's poetry is not that it's bad. everyone is entitled to write bad poetry, and everyone who writes good poetry spent a long time writing bad poetry first. the problem is her arrogance to believe that because she's managed to be monetarily successful in other creative ventures in her life, she can slap random words on a piece of paper and stick it on shelves for $20, and because it'll sell, the work was good. she clearly has no concept of the hours of work a professional poet will put into a single poem, of the years of practice and diligence that go into learning how to write poetry and then learning how to do it better, of how hard *actual* poets have to work to even have one poem published in a magazine or journal, let alone TWO entire collections in b&n and amazon. she thinks her work is publishable because she is a celebrity, and not because she has actual publishable material. if this were something she were taking seriously, she would have an editor or advisor to help her weed out the garbage and foster the poems that might actually be something someday. but this second collection proves that this isn't serious for her, that she's in it for the money, and that she loves playing at being An Artiste and not actually doing the hard, painful, sometimes annoying work of making art.

This x1000. I'm sensitive to criticism, to the point where even gentle criticism sandwiched between compliments can crush my confidence for a while... but that's why it's SO important, as an artist, to have someone in your life who isn't afraid to tell you that your work is garbage lol. It saves you from hearing it from someone you might not want to hear it from, like an audience of hundreds or thousands of people all at once.

To someone unfamiliar with academic critique, I can see how it could be interpreted as “harsh”, but the point is to give honest feedback and tips for improving. Giving someone head pats and no advice on how to improve isn’t what a critique is. Gabbie felt nitpicked and interpreted that as being put down or mocked (tbf people actually did do this to Gabbie a lot around that time, nitpicking every little thing she said or did) and she lost her marbles. But she lost it on someone who was not nitpicking her personal life unfairly, just critiquing her work, and saw them as one and the same.

The thing is Gabbie does not know the first thing about poetry. It is pretty obvious, from her writing, that she doesn't read poetry either. I think she should take a couple university courses on poetry so she can understand everything that it takes to create poetry. She needs to get rid of the idea of it being shower thoughts that perhaps share a rhyme here and there. It's not really about the length, the topic or the rhymes. You can write a two line poem about an apple and yet it can have hours and hours of thought behind it, taking care of choosing the right sounds, the right words and the right arrangement. She never uses allegories, which I believe is essential. She doesn't give us anything to dig through. Anyway, I love watching your videos and the way you review her poetry because your argument is extremely well-exposed and based on actual poetic theory, not just what you like or dislike.

I think we all need to come to the conclusion that gabbie just doesn’t give a shit about poetry. She just wants two things: money and to get praise for being so “deep” and “well thought-out” like in the way twenty one pilots is praised for their clever and meaningful lyrics. It seems to me through gabbie’s poetry (and even music), she doesn’t actually care about the craft she just wants people to praise her. That’s why she’s always making these attempts to seem so deep but she doesn’t actually have these thoughts, ideas, feelings or even the creativity for any of the writing so it just comes off as a 2014 tumblr post.

It’s actually interesting that you bring up how much Gabbie tells instead of shows, because it reminds me of how in my Poetry Workshop class last semester we did an exercise that involves taking weak lines (things like “she was sad”) and making them stronger. I feel like Gabbie could really use that.

@britneyspearsstan 3 жыл бұрын

How do you make "she was sad" stronger? I want to know it now ;-;

@TheSegaKoolaid 3 жыл бұрын

@@britneyspearsstan You stretch it out pretty much, use literary devices to show how the person is sad rather than just saying they’re sad. When I did the exercise I changed “she felt very sad” to “the sadness enveloped her like a blanket of spikes.” Not the most genius way to change it but there’s more there than there was before. When you leave a line at “she felt sad” you’re basically telling the reader that there’s nothing else to be inferred, which you don’t really want for a poem. While not all poetry has to be super deep, you still want something to be there.

Or perhaps Gabbie's book of poetry could be a teaching tool exactly like that. Purchase the book and then expand on the ideas to make more subtle, imagery driven poetry. A student exercise. Why does everything have to be so negative when someone creates something - imagine if we said to her hey Gabbie, I wasn't super keen on your poetry but I think it could be a great teaching tool for different kinds of poetry! Did you know you had this hidden talent? Instead of shitting all over her and just saying hey mate this is a pile of stink and no-one should bother reading it.

i can totally see where hearing “you’re not a good poet try something else” could be harsh, but this books comes YEARS after the critiques of her first book. she made no effort to change, improve, or better her work at all. why would Rachel spend anytime placing false niceties within her review, when it’s the SAME book as last time? of course gabbie should do what she loves, but as a published author she has some accountability placed onto her to be a good author. she should be able to take critiques into account to make her art better. she isn’t just posting videos to her subscribers anymore, she’s creating published works for the world to see. if she wants to be respected, she needs to do better.

Gabbie is selling her art as a product. Product reviews are for the customers. Rachel gave what equates to an in depth Amazon review. Most sellers reach out to the negative reviewers and want to make things right. Gabbie blasted Rachel bc she was butthurt about an incredibly educated product review. It’s like watching business owners fight with reasonably dissatisfied customers on Facebook and Yelp

The amount of emotional and creative labor it takes to give such thorough and constructive feedback--to not only point out flaws but also offer solutions and ways to resolve said issues--is so invaluable to a creator. Watching this feels like having a workshop professor or editor excavate an early draft, and honestly GH should be paying you to do this kind of work. It's kind of crazy that such tailored and in-depth advice is free content given just how much energy it takes to edit (coming from a place of understanding--I recently edited a 60+ page thesis, but even deep dives into short works take so much labor from critically deconstructing the piece to composing productive criticism). All this to say, it's so clear the immense effort and passion you put into this review, and this is the kind of developmental editing creators *pay* to receive. We don't deserve you!!
