Shawn Mendes Says He’s Having ‘A Hard Time’ On Social Media After Camila Cabello Split

Umm...he has great hair. That's all I got.

Not a “gurl”, not my boy.

He's doing fine on Grindr, I don't know what his problem is

The problem is to find another sexy lady like Camilla.

^ Yeah, especially one with a dick

It’ll be alright Shawn.

Or okay. Whichever.

Bless, but I’m sure his management will find him another contract.

^ Aaron Rodgers could probably hook him up with a couple of free agents he knows

HIs musical career is having a hard time too

He's struggling with pussy withdrawal like Chrissy Metz is struggling with anorexia.

He's having a hard time on DL too -- his threads used to be very popular here, but now they get very few responses compared to the old days.

[quote]Shawn Mendes got completely candid during an open and honest conversation

Snap out of it, Shawn

Oh, Miss Thing. So melodramatic.

He needs to find some trade to drown his sorrows in.

"He's having a hard time on DL too -- his threads used to be very popular here, but now they get very few responses compared to the old days."

Because he made the mistake of turning 18...

She’s so unphotogenic. Camilla I mean.

[quote] Because he made the mistake of turning 18...

Past peak ripeness.

R17, actually Shawn's popularity started to drop on DL after he did the Rolling Stone interview.

Will he pull a Timberlake and make his own "Cry Me A River." I sense a breakdown coming for him. He's nowhere near as successful as he used to be. His last album was a flop. He's aging out of teen stardom. He looks depressed lately with dead eyes. I don't think he can pull a Bieber. These beautiful young famous guys all seem damaged and fucked up. The closet kills

I'm not usually one for outing people, but I really wish someone would out Shawn.

Both look fug at OP. Yikes!

Shawn can look horsey from some angles. His awesome hair saves him.

He's a pretty horse boy. Disney stars are coming out the closet now. What's Shawn's excuse now?

He should do a Portuguese art film with a lot of nudity and homosex. His beauty needs to exploited before he goes over the hill

She has flounder eyes in OP's pic.

He's just "gots to get him some pussy"

His relationship with Camilla ruined his career.

Just like Nick Jonas.

Being sexy and available and homoerotic was the appeal.

He needs to be like Froy and find an older man to be roommates with.

He is conventionally attractive unlike Troye Sivan. He needs a hot young boyfriend and turn it into a brand. Two hot gays can fuel the fantasies of fangirls who get off on that. It's the 21st century, Shawn.

The more I've seen and heard of him, the less I like him. Straight or gay, he seems like a shallow idiot.

Well look at who he dated. Camilla Cabello is an idiot too. Birds of a feather flock together.

[quote] He needs a hot young boyfriend and turn it into a brand. Two hot gays can fuel the fantasies of fangirls who get off on that. It's the 21st century, Shawn.

R30 I'm kind of surprised no one in pop music has tried to pull this off, and there's definitely a demographic for it. I don't know how big, but they're out there.

[quote] Being sexy and available and homoerotic was the appeal.

R28 Kind of amazing how short-sighted a lot of the young acts are now. You'd think they'd get this.

[quote] The more I've seen and heard of him, the less I like him. Straight or gay, he seems like a shallow idiot.

R31 Yep. Whatever he may be, his insecurity and lack of maturity, especially regarding his response to the sexuality rumors, ruined whatever appeal he could have had. So many others in his position for decades knew how to roll with the punches, if not use it to their advantage.

Closeted femboy…how unsexy.

It’s giving, it’s giving power bottom

Having a hard time...or having a hard time coming to terms with his sexuality?

Isn't John Mayer available for consult?

How can he turn his career around? A Mark Ronson feature?

Hopefully the bussy pics will leak soon.

Do you think that guy really might not be gay, and is just that non masculine type?

Do straight men wake up in cold sweat over the thought of being perceived as gay?

Just Adele this shit into a passable album, Ma'am.

One of the people in OP's pic has tard face.

I don’t think he’s gay or closeted.

He comes off like a sheltered white kid from an upper / middle class family. There’s plenty of men of his generation who come off like “boys” and nerdy and it’s perceived as gay.

He's adorable, I would tear his mussy up!

[quote]He needs a hot young boyfriend and turn it into a brand. Two hot gays can fuel the fantasies of fangirls who get off on that. It's the 21st century, Shawn.

Shawn is into older daddy types.

Hey guys, maybe he is just into pussy.

[Quote] He needs a hot young boyfriend and turn it into a brand. Two hot gays can fuel the fantasies of fangirls who get off on that. It's the 21st century, Shawn.

Shawn is beige. His fans want beige.

[quote] He comes off like a sheltered white kid from an upper / middle class family

He’s white? I think he’s more beige like R47 wrote.

Shawn is the son of a Portuguese.

He's a pretty Mediterranean boy. He would have been a cupbearer for the gods in Ancient Greece. Getting all that Mt Olympus dick.

He's more likable being single. That Camila bearding thing was so obnoxious. His homophobic Vine friends probably ditched him once they realized he was gay. He's not irredeemable. He's lucky he's so cute that I can forgive his self-loathing.

You're rather grand, ain't ya.

Does he have “a” Vine?

R52 Shawn got signed on to a label because he was a Vine celebrity. He hanged out with the douchy str8 dudes of Magcon who were infamous for their misogynistic and homophobic remarks.

I do think he'll come out this year. Shawn is too weak and fragile to keep up this charade. You can see the depression and misery in him. The dull eyes and flat expression in his recent social media posts. I sense a breakdown will occur. Just like with that Disney boy Joshua Bassett. Not everyone is a soulless narcissist to maintain the closet for decades like Leo or Tom Cruise.

Nah. His ambition is too great. He'll ride out his teen idolhood and then probably go full Kirk Cameron.

His future includes OnlyFans.

Does Shawn have a new fuck daddy?

I feel about as sorry for him as I do when an anti-vaxxer dies of Covid.

Trivia Time. How many of the Vamps did Shawn suck off during the making of this video?

That little singer in video at R59 is a pretty brat.

He’s far more likely to have one, R46. Maybe Shawna is trans?!?

R57, I think that's one of Shawn's childhood friends. (I forget his name right now).

Video clip of me on Miami Beach!

The magcon guys said that Shawn forgot about them once he became famous.

Here, the consensus was that he was not talented but a very nice guy, then the RS interview came and everything changed. Forget the homophobia, he doesn't look good even without that. He looks like a vapid airhead more interested in fame than in music

His music success has dipped. One of the reasons young people are talked about her is that they are "relevant." He's not so much anymore...

*here

There were threads about him way above his relevance bac

That changed after the RS interview. He was not popular here even during his Señorita era and all the threads were to mock his pr stunt.

Yes, now he is on the verge of tanking his career, but there are people who are incredibly popular here in DL who are not remotely that famous

Connor Jessup isn't really all that popular. He just has a handful of dedicated fans.

I don't mind him being a vapid talentless airhead. A lot of pop stars are that and always been. It's just that he's humorless and boring.

That's why he needed a girlfriend - even more than for bearding, for something to talk about during promo.

Yea, he is not the most talented or witty guy, but he has the look. Appealing to both women and gay men.

He is already back with Camila. he couldn’t stay away from pussy for long.

He looks like a horse.

Must've decided to renew the bearding contract

If he was straight. I doubt he would go for such a frumpy looking chick. There's so many more beautiful Caribbean girls and he could get any he wanted. I think this bearding arrangement is to give frumpy unattractive teen girls something to live vicariously though. Because if Camila was pretty and sexy, they would hate her. All of this is so stupid though.

If Shawn was genuinely friends with Camilla, why would he stop hanging out with her just because the bearding contract ended? If anything, if the "relationship" was serious, they would have stopped speaking to each other when they "broke up." That alone should give the fraus pause, but, of course, it won't.

Does he have “a” TikTok?

Of course he does R77

He must be heartbroken when he sees all these pictures with Camilla on Tik tok.

Break-ups...tough but part of life.

It's unfortunate that Shawn's DL backed rival Alec Benjamin didn't take off after Let Me Down Slowly. We were all rooting for him and his label did him so dirty.

R81 We tried to tell you Alec Benjamin troll.

I hope he remembers it's up the road and not across if he decides to do any cutting.

R82 Who is we? A lot of people thought he was going to do better than he did, considering how well the song did overseas and how much industry hype he was getting. Not to mention, in case you forgot, that this was happening just around the time of Shawn's disastrous Rolling Stone interview where everyone here turned on him. It would have delicious karma to see the turn of fortunes, but it didn't happen for Alec because his label fucked him over and didn't properly promote him. It's not trolling to point this out, especially considering how much of a flop Shawn has been lately and how much his music in general sucks. It shows you that talent doesn't always break through.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I actually think he's straight. He's just EXTREMELY narcissistic, and pretending to be gay so hoards of men drool over him is his way of feeling good about himself and keeping himself relevant. Seriously, does anyone actually listen to his music? The teen girls who used to are grown up now.

It’s not giving Cher

[quote] Oh man, does Shawn have a scowl in these photos

Probably got a whiff of his own dick cheese.

R84 You tried pushing him on every single shawn thread and many posters flat out told you that butterface Alec would never happen. His label tried but the world said NO, but sure keep blaming the labe.

[quote]I actually think he's straight.

And I think the Earth is flat.

Camila in that third rate Lakers Girl costume is just embarrassing. I hope someone lost their job for that.

......

[quote]Probably got a whiff of his own dick cheese.

Shawn is most likely circumcised based on his previous underwear photos.

"I actually think he's straight."

Well, that makes ONE of us...

Anyone remember the swimmer Ian Thorpe? He was the same. Gay and everyone knew it, yet he repeatedly denied it. Till the day he came out, of course.

How do you see Shawn's career panning out?

R96 She needs to come put as trans

R73 I have a feeling she won't be very pretty as a woman. Long faces rarely look good on a woman.

R98 Neither does dick and balls.

Could he become the next Joel Osten?

*Osteen

R89

[Quote] He is already back with Camila. he couldn’t stay away from pussy for long.

This you? And you think I'm delusional? At least my perceptions are on point and Alec's label did fuck him over. You're just clueless.

Did Shawn's label fuck him over because of his latest flop?

Yeah his last single bombed.

Musically I thought “Wonder” was nice but the lyrics were stupid.

Every time I scroll past OP's picture I think about how embarrassed they're both going to be one day. They look ludicrous.

He should spin "personal heartbreak" into gold like Taylor Swift does with all the guys she dates after the end of contract term.

I don't think a man can do that, not when his fans are primarily female.

Men can't do it in a whiny passive aggressive like Taylor can. There has to be macho energy. He would need to slut shame Camila like Timberlake did with Britney. But nothing about Shawn is masculine to pull it off. Rappers like Drake can make breakup songs because they relate to straight men and can use all the misogyny and narcissism they want. Shawn only appeals to straight girls who like him sensitive. Thirsty gays don't buy his music though.

R103 To be fair his label did a very bad job with him when he started. They didn't release Life of the party as single even if it was selling very well, then they released Something big, typical teenage song that flopped hard. He was saved by Stitches' success.

And yes, he is on the verge of having a lot of trouble with the label. He is flopping hard, and there are too many consecutive flops to ignore it. He has the advantage that he had global success, and he is still doing pretty well in Canada, but he is failing in the USA and Europe

R92 He needs a white sport coat and a pink carnation.

Can anyone even hum one of this no talent's songs?

^ No but I'd like to give him a hummer.

R109 Exactly. It comes down to the fact that Shawn got lucky when Stitches organically blew up. If it hadn't, he'd be no more famous than Alec Benjamin, which some people seem to forget.

Shawn is lucky for his looks. He's basically the male version of the homecoming queen. Once those looks are gone it will be a cruel and dissociative experience.

[quote] Shawn is most likely circumcised based on his previous underwear photos.

Born in Canada with Portuguese (very anti-circ) heritage, not likely. His foreskin could be short and thin or he rolled it back could explain the appearance of the underwear photos.

Since he’s losing his looks, he is bordering on being straight here. 😂

I liked several of the songs on his Illuminate album back in 2016, but nothing he's done since has made an impression on me (unless you count that disastrous Rolling Stone interview).

As long as Shawn doesn’t start getting work done or get too skinny he’ll always be reasonably attractive.

What work might he get done? Pec implants?

R116 He looks the same as always.

No. He lost mass, making him look horsier.

I wonder when we're going to get an announcement that Shawn has tested positive for COVID. AOC did after she came back from Miami.

After all the money he donated to fight the coronavirus, he better not get it

Shawn better not donate any money. She’s going to be poor soon. That career is gonna be gone fast.

Shawn loves his tax write-offs R123.

^ This and good publicity. He certainly needs it these days.

He's just feeling exposed.

He will feel better when he finally puts a shirt on.

[quote]Born in Canada with Portuguese (very anti-circ) heritage, not likely. His foreskin could be short and thin or he rolled it back could explain the appearance of the underwear photos.

Bieber is born in Canada too, and is circumcised. And you can find people who have European parents who still turn out to be circed. It happens.

Shawn just needs to start working on some better music. He can’t rely on being cute and earnest to get it done anymore.

Shawna having a "hard" time.

Well, he is going to release the video.

Radio showed zero interest in this song, but maybe it was because christmas tima and now they'll give it a push (but i doubt it).

I think his career is mostly done

I think we all know when his career peaked.

But hey, Marky Mark became a respected actor despite violent hate crimes thanks to his body flaunting, so there's hope for Shawn yet. All he needs is a couple mopey film roles or a Marvel franchise character and he'll be set for life.

R132 Have you hard his speaking voice. It’s horrible. He could only play the gay best friend, not even the gay lead…..

The fact that he didn't show any acting talent in his videos doesn't help either

Justin Timberlake's speaking voice hasn't stopped his movie career. It hasn't helped it but it hasn't stopped it.

I see a Donnie Osmond type of career for Shawn. I especially think morning/daytime TV would be a good fit for him. Maybe a Kelly Clarkson type show.

He'll definitely do Joseph at some point.

The fact he didn't show any acting talent in our" romance " doesn't help either.

The only future “career” he’s going to have will be on OnlyFans.

R138 He looks like s lesbian, especially the leg position….

I don't know any lesbians who are as femme as Shawn Mendes is.

They should either smoochy-smoochy or have a slap fight!

Taylor is engaged to Taylor.

That's taking Hollywood's "go fuck yourself" too literally.

[Quote] The only future “career” he’s going to have will be on OnlyFans.

You mean like Austin Mahone?

Aun Mahone is another artist whose record label didn't know what to do with him, and making it sexual when he was simply too young didn't work at all.

Shawn is way bigger than Austin ever was, he should have enough money to not need to do an onlyfans even if his career is done

Austin Mahone also “dated” Camila Cabello.

It apparently worked for all the ephebophiles who dedicate threads to singing his praises on every gay-themed message board. I suppose their interest may have been difficult for Mahone to monetize, though.

Mahone was simply too young to try the sexy route, he should staying on the cute route for at least a couple of years before even trying.

The curious think is unlike Shawn the guy can sing and dance

So Austin was the male Britney Spears? I never heard that guy's music. If he's going hypersexual was the label trying to target him to chickenhawks instead of tween girls?

No. Britney has hits.

I don't know anything about Austin M but I googled him and onlyfans and he has posted photos (and videos?) of himself stripped down with a girl, so it looks like he is straight.

I think it's really sad when people have some kind of performative talent and end up selling sex for ten bucks a month.

But I imagine if you have a big name you can probably make millions showing skin as a subscription service. Maybe that'll be the new retirement model: make millions in your youth instead of throughout your lifetime, invest it and live and retire well.

He's not selling sex. He's scamming.

Shawn Mendes' main problem is he doesn't have anybody to tell him it's time to stop trying to trade in on his cutie-pie looks and light touch and make a play for cred. Ed Sheeran never really had the opportunity to trade in on his looks -- no offense but you know what I mean -- but even he had to give the "shy, sensitive singer-songwriter" shtick a rest and edge up his sound. You see "A-Team" seems like a million years ago. Same with Bruno Mars. He made a name for himself doing slightly shrieky songs of love and devotion, but he had to change his shtick if he wanted to keep relevant.

I don't think Shawn has a well of talent to drink from like Ed and Bruno, but I do think his musical instincts aren't as mannered as we think. His biggest (and arguably best) songs are the ones where he seems to lean in and create some tension with his voice. He might want to start doing that and stop with the sappy love songs. Creating an edgier, more dynamic sound might actually quell some of the queerbaiting that he gets. I mean, it's fun for a laugh, but I'm compassionate too. You queens should stop trolling Shawn. If he's gay, he'll come out when he's ready.

They are both basic as fuck.

[quote]You queens should stop trolling Shawn. If he's gay, he'll come out when he's ready.

Someone is on the wrong website.

He should have the good grace and good sense to just fade away.

R156 This made me LOL so hard, I can't breathe!

The superior Portuguese diaspora pop star.

The fraus from Shawnville, Frauistan are here to deny that Shawn is gay. It’s cute, isn’t it? Between cradling their mugs and brushing their tendrils from their eyes, they roll back the sleeves of their oversized sweaters made from artisan wool to type that Shawn is straight. Or if he’s not, then ”it’s no one’s business”. While at the same time, over analyzing why he broke up his heterosexual relationship with this skank monster Camilla. So cute.

Or maybe not…

That's TikTok hair. Shawn can do better.

[Quote] here to deny that Shawn is gay. It’s cute, isn’t it?

Well, he does it himself, doesn't he?

The only reason I say “if” with Mendes is because at times he seems more soft than gay. I try to have compassion for men of all stripes and I know it can be hurtful to constantly have your orientation questioned because it feels like bullying. And in Mendes’ case, a lot of you just want the cute boy to be gay because you want to kiss him on the mouth.

And then there’s the pressure out on guys like Mendes to either come out or get a girlfriend. I think that’s why he was in bogus relationship with Camila. I say bogus not because of the possibility of him being gay, but because I don’t think he was ever into her like that. Maybe he liked her kind of until he got to know her and stayed with her for appearances. That didn’t do much for the gay rumors but it’s hard for guys like Shawn to fake being in love. If he was a good actor, he probably wouldn’t ping so much.

"The masculinity came in"... Isn't that what he said?!

[Quote] a lot of you just want the cute boy to be gay because you want to kiss him on the mouth.

Nonsense. Plenty of people DL doesn't want to fuck have been talked about here over the year: Kevin Spacey, John Goodman, Kal Penn...

*years

No way would Shawn be in a fake relationship for years if he were straight. No matter how Nelly, he could find multiple girlfriends.

[quote] The only reason I say “if” with Mendes is because at times he seems more soft than gay.

Given there's nothing wrong with being gay or bi. I don't think having your sexuality questioned is really bullying. It's like people accusing you of being blonde rather than brunette. He's just not cut out for fame if he's easily offended by random internet comments. Part of being an artist is dealing with public scrutiny. Soft personalities, whether male or female, will not do well in the entertainment industry where you're a public figure and in the spotlight. He should retire if it bothers him that much.

[quote]Kevin Spacey, John Goodman, Kal Penn...

Oh please, there's a vast difference between someone mentioning them in passing and thread after thread being created obsessing about someone

The fact Shawn is so humorless and easily offended is a big turn off. Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Harry Styles and etc addressed gay rumors with a tongue-in-cheek response. Shawn acts like being gay is this huge atrocity and puts his foot in his mouth all the time. He's severely immature and sounds so uneducated despite being a musician who traveled the globe and knows many people. He gets no respect because he never earned it.

[Quote] thread after thread being created

Like the ones for Colton Haynes, Lee Pace and Richard Armitage, Connor Jessup, Miles Heizer...?

My favourite Shawn moment is that when an interview told him that she's mentally ill, he replied "Amazing!"

My favourite Shawn moment is that when an interview told him that she's mentally ill, he replied "Amazing!"

R173 Poor guy.

R171 Yes, there are threads for those people find attractive, which was R163's point. You then tried to counter that by saying people also talked about Spacey, etc, ignoring the fact that they don't create threads about Spacey the same way they're created about hot guys. For someone who whines about fraus you certainly argue like a woman.

I said nothing about fraus, hon.

[Quote] they don't create threads about Spacey the same way they're created about hot guys.

All threads are created the same way on this site.

Ah, a little self-awareness then.

R177 A weak attempt at a comeback.

Colton got fat. We still talked about him. Shawn has got horsey. We still talk about him. Jessup abandoned the Asians. We still talk about him.

[Quote] A weak attempt at a comeback.

A weak attempt at an argument is asserting that people on a gay forum only talk about a nelly guy because he's conventionally attractive.

Look at how upset you are, posting over and over now. You actually are a frau, aren't you? I bet you write fanfic too.

And no, I said obsessive threads are about the attractive guys. Usually started by people like you.

Your little reads are boring, devoid of wit or any entertainment value.

[Quote] obsessive threads are about the attractive guys.

But if we keep talking about when they cease to be attractive (like that soap actor turned... painter)... well, that demolishes your blistering line of attack...

No, it really doesn't, because those obsessives who keep the threads going can't ever see the attractiveness is gone. So it ends up being two or three fraus just talking to each other.

Meanwhile, there are no threads at all created to obsessively talk about those just unattractive in the first place. God, are you always this tedious?

LOL Wow 11 posts were blocked on my feed because it's probably the same two trolls fighting each other here LOL.

R170 You mentioned Leo, Keanu Reeves, and Harry Styles. Aside from the fact that I don't think any of those men ever had palpable gay rumors to the same extent as Shawn Mendes, Leonardo DiCaprio is pretty well-known for being a bit of a womanizer (and allegedly he bangs a lot of whores). Being a man whore will dispel rumors quicker than a pithy quote. Keanu's vibe is hard to catch, but I don't think anybody thinks he's gay. Weird, yes. But he's done next to nothing to signal he's gay.

Harry Styles has gone out of his way to not only cultivate gay rumors, but...he's probably bisexual at least. There's the wink-and-nod to heteronormativity that usually ensnares guys like Mendes -- because he's cute and effete people think he must be big 'mo. Then there's the fame whore/attention whore Nico Tortorella/Pharrell Williams thing that Harry Styles does -- which is where conventionally attractive men who have been famous for a long time and have a lot of money and thus have had access to women try to edge up their image by doing a bunch of queerbaiting shit like wearing dresses on the covers of magazines and extolling the virtues of sexual fluidity. And they get away with it because gaylings get heart palpitations when attractive men who at first blush seem straight insinuate they might bat for the other team.

If Mendes was always try to show what an ally he is of the LGBTQ community, if he was doing music videos where he's skulking shirtless and oiled up through a co-ed bath house and had men and women grabbing at his abs, if he was gender non-binary magazine covers, and other sus shit for attention and to court the gay rumors, as contrived as that would be, I'd be all for the gay rumors. As it stands it seems like he just wants to make treacly, downcast pop-rock and dress badly.

R186 Still better than you pretending anyone else gave a shit about Alec Benjamin

[Quote] there are no threads at all created to obsessively talk about those just unattractive in the first place.

Post your social media. We sometimes talk about nobodies.

Harry Styles appeals to Disney-fied girls of Tumbler and TikTok who like sexless non-threatening bois, Kpop style pageantry and yaoi manga scenarios. Shawn ignores that the Kpop and yaoi fangirls are a big, loyal audience and tries to be more of a 1970s style clean-cut teen idol.

.....

She isn’t attractive. Not at all. Not that he is anything to write home about, imo. But she is somewhat homely in this photo.

I don't find Harry Styles attractive but I don't agree that he's sexless.

Can I get some fries to go with those chicken legs @R191?

You should stick to the salad option

R195, I wouldn’t mind tossing his salad.

R191 You can tell by the creases in his face that he is stressed out. Being a flop and getting into a precarious position with his record label has gotta suck. Oh well.

Was this seemingly designed to out Shawn tweet by Camila ever shared on the DL?

He is looking more Canadian by the day. Soon he will be full Alanis.

Was that tweet after their breakup r198?

Who is this fuggo?

R198, I think the "It's giving Cher" moment was probably the last straw for Camila. Didn't they break up soon after?

New video of Shawn being questioned after leaving a gym in Los Angeles:

R203 Well at least they didn’t ask him some asshole question

R203 Why is Shawn hanging out with a bunch of straight fug douche bros?

When that idiot paparazzo asked that dumb question about crypto currencies, Shawn should have pulled a Biden on him.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R198 how was it outting him? You are reading too much into it, Qtard style.

R207 Using rainbow dots and quoting the "It's giving Cher" line that has been circulating amongst gay people online? Yeah, it's shade and a message.

I doubt it. She's still helping him with promo (the latest comment on his IG post).

R208 Re-read your post a few times, you might start to realise how ridiculous you sound.

[quote]Shawn is a "wildcat," according to Camilla. Whatever the fuck that means.

I think she meant he's a big pussy.

Video of shirtless Shawn slipping & falling: 😲

R212 He probably wishes he fell on a hard dick instead.

“It’s giving Cher” confirmed Shawn’s a mo.

^ Yeah I don't get why people don't understand this.

Because it's stupid and something only fraus believe

He’s not very coordinated.

What do you mean? Straight men do not have Cher's looks on their mind.

A closeted gay man making such an effort to convince people he's straight that he fakes a relationship wouldn't say something like that.

Someone who has picked up the saying from social media would. Try using your brain for once.

Oh, please. As if people don't slip up.

Except, if you're actually going to believe it's a slip up, you have to then believe Shawn slips up CONSTANTLY. It's beyond belief, frankly. And it's as stupid as those middle aged women insisting the rat faced one from One Direction was gay because he had limp wrists.

[Quote] you have to then believe Shawn slips up CONSTANTLY.

He's not a robot, hon. Nature won't be silenced.

Oh God they are already rush releasing a third single. They just put out the music video for the second flop single. This is so cringe worthy, he really is flopping badly.

I guess this means the tour isn't selling either?

If the rumors are true, Shawn's assistant is his new boyfriend. Why not write a song about him but keep it vague? I don't think Shawn can sell heartbreak well enough to be compelling.

Are you talking about Connor with the Camera?

R216 , as gay men (most of us) have built in gaydar. We are usually able to spot family…”it’s giving Cher” just confirmed, but the way Shawn speaks and moves gave it away years ago.

R227 You're trying too hard, frau. The fact you felt the need to say "as gay men" is the big giveaway.

[quote]If the rumors are true, Shawn's assistant is his new boyfriend. Why not write a song about him but keep it vague?

Yes, he should. Like how John Mayer wrote “New Light” about Shawn.

The song isn't selling but what's more worrisome is the fact that radio didn't touch it (even if they pushed hard his lastests flops)

He has pretty boy privilege. If he was ugly, nobody would be denying he was gay. I do think good looks can be a shield against homophobia.

Not true. Some deny that John Goodman is family. Some denied Kal Penn.

Shawn would have fit the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s better.

He kinda resembles the very fruity Jordan Knight of New Kids On The Block though Jordan is straight and his more masculine brother is ironically the gay one.

Nah. There will always be a market for Shawn's type.

Shawn is the type that I feel appeals a lot to gays because the trashy, overly tattoo-ed and greasy multicolored haired male performers today are not that sexually appealing. Maybe Shawn would have been a perfect the 80s gay porn bottom.

At a certain point, the label is just going to have to put out an album, whether it flops or not. You can't keep pushing out singles until you find a hit that may never materialize. Just drop the album, let it tank and then dump his closeted ass already. The public in general has had enough. Time to go bye bye, Shawnie boy.

I don't think he's been popular for years. The male pop that sells is Drake, Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Justin Bieber, etc. Shawn doesn't have what they have. He's too Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett bubblegum. Straight men don't buy that. He's getting too old to rely on young girls who are most likely now young women who moved on to different more mature artists.

R237 Well played. I think the caveat is Normani hasn't actually dropped a debut album yet. They're doing with Shawn ironically what they did with Camila a year or two ago: dropping song after song to see what sticks. I think even Forbes mentioned how Camila had live five songs percolating in the market at the same time and they weren't doing anything.

I don't understand why they don't just get Shawn a hit from a well-known hitmaker. He might be on minute thirteen, but he's had enough success and played the game to warrant someone calling an audible to get things moving again. If he's just tinkering around in his home studio hoping for magic, well, it may not come when the label wants it to.

R238 I agree, but I think Shawn is the only one of those guys actually keeping pop-rock alive. Ed Sheeran would be number two but he's willing to do what he has to to get a hit as well. Shawn is the closest thing we have to a John Mayer for this generation. Unfortunately he doesn't have Mayer's magic, though.

Is it known why Shawn split from Geiger? Was it over money?

R240 Probably for the same reason Taylor Swift hasn't worked with Liz Rose in years or why Katy Perry stopped working with Bonnie McKee. They probably feel like their time has passed and it's time to age up their sound.

Is that dated summer single an example of Shawn aging up his sound?

R238, Sam Smith isn’t still popular.

Post Malone is just garbage and disgusting. Please, music industry, kick him off the charts!

Você acha que isso é sexy o suficiente para David Beckham DL?

Sim Shawn/r244.

R243 Sam is not as popular as they was but still does way better than Shawn, specially because Sam is able to sell albums something Shawn struggle with even when it was more popular.

The truth is Sam only needs a good ballad to come back after years of dance songs (and of course he is big in UK which is a big advantage)

Wasn't Sam's last album a flop? None of the songs after "How Do You Sleep" really registered.

R231 Please, he looks like a horse now. He was cute like 5 years ago with short hair.

Transition when?

Sam actually can sing and was blue-eyed soul which is more appealing to boring middle-aged people. Ed Sheeran appeals to adult women. Drake and Post Malone appeal to straight men and women. Shawn only appeals to teenage girls which is a very narrow and very fickle market. Teen idols only last 3 years at max unless they appeal to a wider audience like gays, straights and adults. Shawn failed at that.

A very gay horse, in that photo.

Even Nick Jonas got smart and pandered to the gays after being a teen idol.

Marrying a beard isn't exactly pandering to the gays.

Everyone knows the marriage is fake.

Shawn should have bought the horse farm from the horse face. He would have felt right at home there.

That “bleeding love” money is long

Well, Bleeding love was a massive hit everywhere

Did she write it?

I think he’s a fairly sweet, good looking guy but I don’t find him attractive. He doesn’t seem comfortable in his own skin. I kinda feel sorry for him. I think he’s being moulded in a way that isn’t really him. I’ve also rarely seen a high profile “romance” that felt more like a PR stunt.

R258 No, Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney are the writers

[Quote] I’ve also rarely seen a high profile “romance” that felt more like a PR stunt.

[quote]I’ve also rarely seen a high profile “romance” that felt more like a PR stunt.

Oh Hi…

Jesse McCartney's very dated 2000s music is still more memorable than anything Shawn has released.

Jesse has one song anyone remembers. Shawn has at least two.

Nobody will remember Shawn's music as it's very low-effort and low-energy. He has done nothing to stand out. That "Treat You Better" is trash and "Nothing is Holding Me Back" is okay. The rest is really filler and fluff. Background noise.

People still remember Cassie's, Hilary Duff's and Fergie's few hits. Jesse's music sounded like a male version of that, he kinda was a younger Timberlake and white Usher because he was aiming R&B and neo-soul as best as could with Disney's restrictions.

I always thought that "Bleeding Love" song was disgusting.

[quote]People still remember Cassie's, Hilary Duff's and Fergie's few hits

People remember Hilary Duff's dancing more than her music.

For someone so unattractive and who makes totally unmemorable music and is flopping, he sure seems to attract some obsessive posters here who are insistent on constantly posting how unattractive, unmemorable and unsuccessful he is. Almost like they're trying to convince themselves.

Unattractive?! He's got a little horsey but he's in his prime.

show us your hole miss shawn

Upcoming tour CANCELED.

He should do an album with Kevin Abstract.

R265 still remember Hillary Duff’s hits? I forgot Hillary Duff even existed until you mentioned her here.

R272 There are so many of his frau fans on other social media sites who tried to say that Shawn wasn't a flop because he was still selling out arenas. How's that looking now, bitches?

R263 Please, Jesse maccartney only had succes with the right wing demographics in the US - just like Hillary Duff. Elsewhere they are almost unknown and their music never got any radio rotation…..

Even worse than Hillary Duff is how they desperately tried to make her less appealing sister Haylie Duff happen.

*see also Jamie Lynn Spears, Asslee Simpson, etc…

It's sad to be all alone

and have an empty bussy

R272 Except it isn't cancelled, is it?

R279, if you think that tour is ever happening, I’ve got a rotting bridge in Pittsburgh to sell you.

R280 So you're just making stuff up now then?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Omg, Shawn‘s career is dying FAST….I wonder what he will do about it……

^ Melt down and shave his head.

If Ryan Seacrest has another stroke, Shawn should replace him as Kelly's co-host.

R285 Shawn should date one of Kelly's gay sons

I’ll say it again just to put in the atmosphere: Shawn, call your label, have them hook you up with Max Martin, and have him give you a hit.

R282 Yikes, he looks awful in that pic.

R287 LOL As if Max Martin would lower himself to working with a soon to be has been like Shawn Mendes.

R289 It's not true - he has a great career!

Dudes talkin pussy.

^ Kweens talkin mussy.

Fixed for R291

I'm so old. W-the-F are these people?

Are you lost grandpa? R293
