Am I Supposed to Find Charlie Puth Hot?

What happened to his eyebrow?

R1 Apparently he was injured in a dog attack when he was young.

To answer the OP: no.

Thanks r2

My dream bf.

I'd gronk him.

He lives in Beverly Hills and apparently he hangs out in his backyard naked all day in full view of his neighbor's windows. If I had $10 million dollars, I would buy that neighbor's house tomorrow.

Yuck. And the whole gym segment is fake. He doesn’t have the body of someone who guys to the gym. That’s a young body that does a few push ups in the morning and has high metabolism, that is not a gym / trained body.

His teeth look like splayed Chiklets

He has really nice pit.

Hotttt

The shorts are not giving.

This superlative publicity blurb is funny. It's selling this kid as a gym god "fitness freak" who blabbers on and on about his worked out body, and meanwhile by Impossible Gay Standards, he's a shapeless blubbery walrus in the accompanying photo.

He looks like a hobbit to me. If he weren't naked, no one would look twice.

OP, I am under the impression it's mostly paid publicity and not organic 'earned media.'

It's working remarkably well, though. Get enough media placements and the homeliest person on Earth starts to look beautiful to people.

Those veneers are quite off-putting.

R7 I think he mentioned in the video that this whole fitness thing was new, so that video was probably shot shortly after he started his routine, which would account for his less than chiseled physique.

Average. Not ugly, but far from hot.

Dear Charlie,

Good use of angles and fuckboy hair. What does she do for a living?

He wrote and produced Justin Bieber's last mega hit.

I could see him as sexy cute - Bieber probably helped him get his freak on.

He should rebrand himself as Baby Fat.

He's an interesting case study. He really didn't have a niche or identity in the pop star world. To stay relevant he needed to peel off the clothes and say semi-controversial things via social media. Whatevs. I reluctantly like most of his music but hate that he supported Dump. He's got tiny man meat but I bet he's naughty and fun in the sack. Yes, he pings to me so he can play straight all he wants.

You guys just hate jews. If he was a goy, you'd be begging for it.

R24 I didn't know he was Jewish, and no, I don't care.

He's simply delish.

So, he’s bisexual now? At least that my newly discovered finding about what the eyebrow slit means?

No, he's het.

[quote]You guys just hate jews.

How could anyone hate jews? There are so vanishingly few of them in the world that it's unlikely any of us have ever met more than a handful in our entire lives.

Is anyone supposed to care whether or not you find him hot, OP?

This isn’t what the people who buy music in 2022 want to spend their money on

Looks like a young Patrick Dempsey before he had all the plastic surgery.

Charlie has the ability to look hot if he puts in the effort, but most of the time he either doesn't or thinks that New Jersey look is hot, it is not.

Not in that worst possible picture you shared in your initial post, OP.

Horny enough to bang around with dudes though, or nah?

What flyover state are you from , R29?

Gay-baiting little shit.

Too bad that dog didn't finish the job.

This dude has had a dick in his mouth before. I'm not much of a betting man but I'd place money on it.

He's a certified music genius. Unfortunately, lots of his music sucks. Oh, it's played well and interesting but boring.

Big toothy smile = gay

I don't think Farah Fawcett-Majors was gay.

[quote] Am I Supposed to Find Charlie Puth Hot?

No, no you are not

The trainer at R4 is hotter than Charlie.

New York City, r36.

Everyone's turning into Harry styles

^^ if only! Harry has the ‘it’ factor, like him or not. Charlie absolutely does not have ‘it’. His voice is mediocre, his song writing is juvenile, his musicianship is unremarkable, and on top of it all he’s not attractive. He’s a solid 4 1/2, upstairs and probably downstairs too. Lord I hope he’s not gay because the DL b!tches will jump on me for being self loathing and unsupportive.

R35 Clearly, only sustained gronking will satisfy the poor boy's needs.

I'll get Mendes to hook us up for a weekend or something.

I keep seeing occasional references to him being a prodigy of some sort, probably planted by his PR lackey. All evidence to the contrary as far as I’ve seen. Is he ever planning to share his genius with us or is it just going to be a vague and ambiguous reference? People shouldn’t use big words they don’t understand.

Ew to that eyebrow.

[quote]I keep seeing occasional references to him being a prodigy of some sort, probably planted by his PR lackey.

He has perfect pitch (also called absolute pitch.)

He has demonstrated it multiple times on camera during interviews and "challenges."

Occasionally on his TikTok (which is how I discovered him) he has been able to answer questions and break things down quite easily ... but there's a twist.

[quote]He's a certified music genius. Unfortunately, lots of his music sucks. Oh, it's played well and interesting but boring.

His first album was good. Then he decided to go far left and started producing "TikTok" music. He doesn't really even try anymore.

I loved it when Elton John called him out on it.

The music Elton John liked from him early on, wasn't what he was trying to do when he offered to work with him.

Is he related to the Puths from Peoria?

I think he’s really cute,,,like the little scar in the eyebrow.

I’m usually into much more traditionally masculine looking men, but, I’d smash.

Which boy band is he from?

R50 He has perfect pitch (also called absolute pitch.)

I am willing to stipulate he has ‘perfect pitch’. (Although I find all the evidence unconvincing and dubious) But perfect pitch says nothing about vocal timbre, warmth, range, and that indefinable ‘something’. Kermit the Frog could have perfect pitch. Do you want to listen to his catalog on repeat?

Puth’s voice and his keyboarding are good for a medium-sized high school in Fresno. Sadly there is nothing special about it, unless he’s been holding back this whole time.

As to his prodigious talent, he went to Emerson, I think. Great school! But seriously? Music or voice prodigies go to Juilliard, Oberlin, NE Conservatory, The Royal College of Music, École Normale de Musique… and a few others, almost without exception. They actively recruit them and compete to bring in the singular talents. And let’s keep in mind true prodigies are but a handful in a generation, sometimes a few generations. Unless we’re watering down the meaning.

A prodigy going to Emerson is like a maths prodigy saying, after careful consideration of MIT, CalTech, and Cambridge…they chose The University of Akron.

He’d make a very adequate wedding singer in NJ, although I’d want him to cover other peoples music. Maybe he could play See You Again once. We Don’t Talk Anymore isn’t awful, but not good for a wedding.

He can probably afford to have that ugly eyebrow fixed.

R56 Coloring in with a $1.25 eyebrow pencil?

[quote]But perfect pitch says nothing about vocal timbre, warmth, range, and that indefinable ‘something’. Kermit the Frog could have perfect pitch. Do you want to listen to his catalog on repeat?

I was just saying that's probably why that person said he was a genius. I don't know if that equals genius but it seems like a fun talent.

[quote]As to his prodigious talent, he went to Emerson, I think. Great school! But seriously?

He went to Berklee, which is still a top 10 conservatory, on a full scholarship which wasn't that hard to Google.

So, most of what you wrote, doesn't really apply in the sense that he didn't go to Emerson and going for free trumps everything else.

I know you just wanted to write an essay so good on you. That certainly was an essay.

[quote]He’d make a very adequate wedding singer in NJ, although I’d want him to cover other peoples music. Maybe he could play See You Again once. We Don’t Talk Anymore isn’t awful, but not good for a wedding.

I'm not a fan of his. I did say I don't think he tries very hard. It seems like he's making money and is getting the attention he wants for ... whatever it is he's doing now ... so, good for him, I guess.

Oh, he was in Pitch Perfect? Who did he play?

[quote] Apparently he was injured in a dog attack when he was young.

That explains why he hasn't collaborated with Pitbull yet.

First it was:

Tik tokers are the new rockstars.

I’m going to have “You turn me on like a lightswitch” stenciled above my marital bed. He IS a genius!

Loser!

I hate when popstars decide they're comedians.

[quote] You guys just hate jews. If he was a goy, you'd be begging for it.

He’s also Italian. Yeah, I know, white adjacent.

Am I supposed to find Billy Eichner charming?

R2 was it a rescue dog?

It was a Pittie.

R24 Are you serious? I can't tell.

I had no idea he was Jewish. His name isn't Puthstein or Puthberg. How would anyone know if he is Jewish? How do you know? And why is it relevant?

I tend to be attracted to Jewish guys more often than not on a physical level. This guy—well, I don't like to say mean things about people's appearances. All I can say is that I chortled out loud when I read the hyperbolic copy from GQ about him being a fitness god, published right beside photos of him shirtless looking fine, but as someone said, he looks like he may do 25 pushups every couple of days and otherwise...maybe walks on a treadmill once a week?

I'm over the bodybuilder Instaho thing now. They are a penny by the hundred these days and I don't lust after such people, but it is a total Kellyanne Conway move to publish pictures of a soft-bodied guy who clearly works out minimally and describe him as a fitness fanatic. Come on, now.

Being Jewish has nothing to do with it.

But is 'Puth' a Jewish name? Or how would people even know?

Coincidentally, his new single is called How Would You Know (If I'm Really Jewish)

No, OP, he's not.

Interview with DL fave Zach Sang, who probably drools throughout.

That falsetto singing voice is quite unsexy. He's got a nice speaking voice. Does he ever sing in his speaking vocal range?

R72 Good God, is he ultra gay or what?

Is he crashing abd burning like Bieber and Mendes? Why such snowflaky pop stars from that period?

No. Charlie is a successful writer-producer. And not in a vanity credit way.

[Quote] Is he crashing abd burning like Bieber and Mendes? Why such snowflaky pop stars from that period?

As opposed to alcoholic David Cassidy or junkie Leif Garrett?

But they didn’t cancel concerts left and right, they went on stage trashed like real men not complaining about their mental health.

Oh, please. In their day, it was called "hospitalized for exhaustion/dehydration."

I always make sure my boys stay hydrated.

His name should be Charlie Putz........

Puth sounds stinky. He should have changed his name to something nicer sounding. Éclair or Chalamet, maybe.

Charlie Gurl?

r72 Someone get this boy into rehab asap. That was worse than Kanye and Tucker.

I posted the comment at r6 at 8 am on Friday and then a couple hours later Charlie gave the interview at r72 where he talks about it, so he was definitely in this thread. I guessing he has a Google Alerts set up for every time someone mentions his name.

Hi Charlie!

Isnt he another Ellen protege?

Well, where did you hear/read that, r6?

He’s as dull and homely as Alec Benjamin.

r87 I just remembered him posting a SFW naked picture from his backyard a few years ago, way too random to be a coincidence.

I wanna get me some Puthy!

Charlie E Neuman

Live Charlie.

Wasn’t JohnMayer supposedly fucking him at one point?

R93, no that was me.

R94 I keep tell you that you should just ask him - he'd put out for you, I'm sure.

R93 Mayer fucks everyone (except "Mawn", of course).

No, you're supposed to go watch Bros.

OP, please take down that horrible picture IMMEDIATELY.

Bros needed more crocodile and Lyle needed more Gays.

You probably would back in the 70s. When you were his age OP.

[...]

I always think people mean Charlie Hunnam and THAT I get. This guy is not at all hot.

Not a closet gay, just a queerbaiter.

Let's talk about Robert Irwin, someone make a thread about him, since the old one is inactive.

I think like Ed Sheehan, Charlie has some talent, but he’s unremarkable in the looks department. I’m sure that his notoriety gets him plenty of peen.

I just saw him on Jimmy Fallon and was impressed. He seems quite smart, and can always go into producing if his career dries up as a singer. Flat ass and little dick, but no one gets everything.

He seems very straight to me. Don't women like seeing dick and ass too?

I want to rim him until he cums, hands free.

R107 you will have no competition so have at him!

He’s Ben Platt/Billy Eichner level revolting…zero talent and kosher with a smothering delusion of ego. Yum

Are they flashing dick and ass on late night TV now? If so, maybe I’ll start watching again, heaven knows they need something to boost those ratings.

You forgot ugly R108. They are all ugly. Each. One.

R108, so taste and a Jew hater? Fuck you.

Well, duh. Yes.

[quote]He looks like a hobbit to me. If he weren't naked, no one would look twice.

Mmmm, a naked hobbit. Yum.

I don't find Charlie off putthing.

Am I supposed to find Charlie Heaton hot? Am I supposed to find Charlie Sheen hot? Am I supposed to find Charlie Parker hot? Am I supposed to find Charlie Chaplin hot?

The audacity of all these Charlies through the ages, strutting around as if it were a given they were the acme of masculine appeal. Sorry, Charlies!

At least he's working and not partying...er...I mean, on a mental health break.

He has BJ lips.

Whether I’m “supposed to” or not, yes, I find him hot.

God. That’s not a smile, it’s a rictus.

I watched some of the Zach Sang interview and the live performance above. Charlie's smile is somewhat unnerving. The rictus comment is accurate.

He has a lot of musical knowledge. I bet he was classically trained for singing. That's why he sounds so whiny in pop music because he probably knows how to sing properly but in order to compete with other male artists, he has to write his songs extremely high, thus he has to sing in a falsetto androgynous gayling boyish headvoice-voice. I like his recent music and he is good looking but he doesn't have chest hair.... only a little... sometimes... he seems to shave it off... maybe because that small patch isn't worth keeping?

R111 kosher is not an epithet. And no, I don’t hate Jews. Just those three people, who happen to be Jewish.

R118 🤣 🤣 🤣

R122 is this kosher?

Oh, double treat. Charlie is going to be on Live with Kelly and Ryan in a few minutes...and Mark is filling in for Ryan. Damn that man is delicious.

I realize it’s formulaic, but “Turn Me On Like a Light Switch” is a really catchy tune…

In the Fallon interview, I saw that his fingernails are still too long. Not good.

He's on with Kelly Rippa now

I get sex pig vibes from him.

Isn't it silly that if a guy is posting thirst traps and like to pose semi nude it is called queerbaiting. Why do people think that he could not be baiting fraus and frauleins.

I have noticed a lot of semi naked pics of well built sculpted straight guys on Tinder. Seems that these days they have to offer something to attract women (I know a DLer would say: all this for fraus, what a waste) or they could just be narcissistic and like to show off.

R130 For starters, Puth has spoken extensively about how he tries to appeal to the gays and that, yes, he likes the attention he gets from gay guys when he posts his thirst traps.

Who’s that in r118 s post? Not Charlie Puth.

R132 Yes, that's Charlie.

My Son mentioned him the other day, when we were talking about movies. He said, CP, is very accomplished, and talented. He also said, he's very savvy about business and is very wealthy.

No, he's not considered hot. He's like that UK guy ... I forget his name, but he's not attractive but writes music.

Ginger ale and White Rock for his table! Grab a chair, move over there, and let him sit right next to Mabel!

Charlie has even posted a vid/gif wit his legs up in the air. He has absolutely gay baited.

[Quote] I saw that his fingernails are still too long.

Not pussy friendly.

I just heard him on Kelly and Ryan, it was so auto tuned it sounded like metal.

r138, or bussy friendly.

R121, he went to Berklee School of Music. I thought the bit with the coffee cup on Jimmy Fallon was clever. Jimmy always brings out the best when he has musicians on.

[Quote] it sounded like metal.

Figures. He's a big Betty Buckley fan.

R46, he’s not Freddie Mercury or Brendon Urie, but I happen to think he has a much nicer, smoother sounding voice than Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes or even Harry Styles.

I actually think Charlie has quite a beautiful, smooth sounding voice.

So when you say he’s mediocre, which of his contemporaries are you comparing him to? Sam Smith? Steve Lacy? Drake?

R104, I think Charlie is a lot prettier than Ed Sheeran.

Thanks to reading this thread before bed, I dreamt about Charlie last night and in my dream he a micro cock. I was really disappointed.

I could see him as a caged (jock).

I know why the caged cock sings.

He loves eating pussy. He picks sluts after every show to eat out. Total snatch eater.

Vocally, he's medicore next to someone like Bren Joy.

Ya don't say....he's into poo-say?

Yes. But he's past his prime and so he's looking for the pink pound. Gays are so loyal, you know.

He's had some catchy hits. I remember searching him out after hearing Marvin Gaye.

I really, really love this jam. One of my favorites of his...

R149, who the hell is Bren Joy?

At least I know where to find singers I actually like. The ones DL hates. Sorry that Donna Loren's last victrola release was a flop. A shame, since her husband was a big shot producer.

Donna Loren was pre rock in style. She hadn't a chance once the sixties began to swing. And what makes you think DL even cares enough about Charlie Puth's music to hate it?

This thread, with over 150 posts.

This thread is about whether Charlie Puth is HOT or not to DL. Do keep up.

r145 He does have a micropenis. His nudes are in this thread.

Link?

R145 in my dream it was super micro. Like one of the FTM dangly things trannys have.

I’d do so many nasty things to him, and he’d take it willingly.

r160 Scroll down

R156, figures you would know who Donna Loren was.

He gets hard when you put your hand on the back of his neck - opens up as sweet as can be.

R157 - it took 7 days for 150+ replies. There are maybe 30 unique posters.

As R156 said, DL doesn’t care enough about Chucky.

Thanks hall monitor. But the public does, check out his sales.

Hang in there, I'm betting a Connie Francis remastered greatest hits is around the corner.

Bois like him are the sexiest. With a boyish face and body, they all try to act macho but somewhere deep down they aware that they are born to be a bottom with ass being used indiscriminately by daddies.

After dropping their tough guy act in front of their friends, they will go begging to get their ass pound and filled by daddies. Nothing make them feel more like themselves when they screamed "fuck me daddy" while getting his ass used by older man cock.

Yes, that's it!

[quote]they all try to act macho but somewhere deep down they aware that they are born to be a bottom

R169 You silly ol' fag. Straight guys are not bottoms, cause fraus don't have the junk.

He was on Live with Kelly and Ryan today. Actually Ryan was out with COVID so Kelly's husband Mark Consuelos filled in as guest host. I had never heard of Charlie Puth before and had to google him.

[quote] Bois like him are the sexiest.

“Bois”? Oh, dear.

OP I saw Smile last night. Terrifying. I won’t forget Charlie’s richter.

Not impressive but no micro either.

[quote]After dropping their tough guy act in front of their friends, they will go begging to get their ass pound and filled by daddies.

You are clueless mate. He completely gives off straight guy vibes. Just look at his inconspicuous mannerism while giving interview to this fraulein. Nothing fake nor overreacted, just young straight guy distracted by big boobs.

She is very pretty.

I mean...HOT? No. That word is so overused, especially in this context. Puth hasn't really presented himself as "Hot." Sure, he's taken "provocative" photos, but he's in the joke. He's a cute/attractive guy. Not sure why you feel his desirability is being used as a weapon.

[quote]Coincidentally, his new single is called How Would You Know (If I'm Really Jewish)

He's one of the wispy Jews, not one of the hot dark haired thick stalky jews.

[Quote] Puth hasn't really presented himself as "Hot." Sure, he's taken "provocative" photos, but he's in the joke.

Oh, please.

[Quote] Not sure why you feel his desirability is being used as a weapon.

Beauty is currency, dear. Don't act obtuse.

Is he able to get back on the performance schedule now the high holy days are over?

R180 Yup, thirst traps are cash traps.

He’s wildly unappealing.

He has a fanbase

He’s WAY too old to be masquerading as a twink.

R185 Look at me and know that I am your near future.

Sorry Shawn honey- he actually has talent.

I like his music. I especially like Voicenotes - 2nd album. He has a cool voice. His song, Attention, is sooo good. (Supposedly about Bella Thorne.)

Too much lip gloss in OP's pic. That's a bone killer for me.

R187 He certainly does!

R187 um, ok sure.

We only want pretty guys to be gay, if Charlie is straight why are y'all so pressed?

R192 Straight onto my dick, maybe.

So talented, no wonder he is Elton's neighbor and friends with everyone in the business. Didn't realize he wrote and produced so many hits.

To what is "Gronk" in reference?

R194 hilarious. No, he’s not. And no, he hasn’t. Just no. He wants to collaborate with everyone and no one will return his calls. He’s (almost) a middle aged man singing bubble gum pop music, and not very well.

Just no.

I didn’t know being someone’s neighbor was evidence of being remarkable R194. I’m practically the CEO of a Fortune 500. But I’m not really.

R196 A guy who's 30 is almost middle aged, now? Charlie has already collaborated with James Taylor, John Legend, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, 5 Seconds of Summer, Boyz II Men, Elton John, and blackbear...

Selena Gomez!?

R198 hi Charlie

R196, well he has the credits and I can see duets and collaborations on YouTube, so you are full of shit.

You are a moron R196. Who isn't returning his calls? Seems like the other way around from his CV.

^^ 🤣 🤣 🤣

R134 your son must be 14 y/o and sexually confused. He has terrible taste in music. just saying. You should probably get him some help.

Forget Charlie, I need to book my tickets to see Linda Lavin at the Vermont Community Center.

Are there any male pop music stars you guys here like, other than Harry Styles?

Probably not- most are usually on the Broadway boards arguing over which actress was the best Mama Rose.

Some haters are so pathetic with easily disproven lies. Charlie's collab for See You Again is on the YouTube list of most viewed at #5, with over 5.5 BILLION. That's billion, with a B.

R206 Styles is a nobody has-been!

Elton definitely returns Charlie's calls. They just did a song together last year, After All.

R202 easy girl. Don’t let the haters get to you.

Charlie’s music may suck but he’s not so bad to get passionate about it.

R210 doesn’t Elton hate his music too? I’m pretty sure he’s on the record about it.

Elton complained about him using too many producers at a certain point, not hating his music. Otherwise, why would he do a duet with Charlie last year?

The smile, the voice, the nails.

Couldn't you just die 😍🥰😍

R214 what a slutty outfit this Boi had put on. He just want to get his ass pounded by daddies. I bet he show jimmy Fallon his nipples in hopes that he could get some good fucking. Amazing slutty twink.

He looks rather stocky in that outfit.

R216, is that you Shawn?

R217 No it isn't! And he does look stocky!

R218 Look, I'm sorry you saw me fucking Charlie - it wasn't planned!

I was trying to hook you two up and then suddenly he was on my dick - guess he likes them big.

He has no neck, like Lesley Gore.

He'll be on tour very soon

How are his streams for the new album?

R222 He likes his streams warm, the little freak.

Newest album "Charlie" hits over 800 million streams on Spotify.

What an uneuphonious name. Do those ditches in his eyebrow means he's a switch hitter?

R225 I'll ask the dog

R10 sounds like the same fan-atic who was so outraged that DL is not dying with devoted passion for Madonna now that she's in her hideous decline.

He looks 22. Cute!

What does Madonna have to do with Charlie?

Let’s get the easy stuff out of the way R224. “800 Million” streams is totally fictional. Left and Right and Lightswitch play on Spotify, SiriusXM and Youtube channels regardless of request, and no one is requesting music by Puth. His pure sales are embarrassing, but he’s never been a platinum artist so it’s not shocking. And all of that says nothing about how bad his music is.

His music sucks. My 16 year old niece is a clever wordsmith and she writes better lyrics than Charlie. I’ve played the piano since I was 8 and I definitely play better than him.

I don’t wish him ill. I just hope he finds a reasonable self image with which other people agree.

Unfortunate looking.

It's refreshing that he's kept the beak.

I hate to go way back but I’m just catching up. R14 is that pic for real? He’s 30+ right?

My Lord in heaven he looks like a psychotic Baby Jane. Someone needs to inform him, he’s not adolescent cute or playful. He’s a grown ass man.

R230, you are really mentally ill. Have I heard of you or your fabulous niece? Do you live in a mansion in Beverly Hills? Duet with Elton?

Someone asked about streaming, so I provided the information. Twist it however makes you feel better.

He doesn't appear to be using Botox either.

I think hes adorable and I bet hes great fun in bed. Hes just a pop star,why all the hate ?

I think he'd give you a Dutch Oven.

No idea, but contact the poster with the 16 year old niece. He knows everything 🙄

Is he wearing lipgloss?

If an album debuts on Spotify at #12 globally, is that considered a flop!

Well, where did "Wonder" debut?

I love it when publicists weigh in, R234 R236

Unlike R230, I think his music is ok. He’ll be doing the Florida retirement tour in 20 years, and that’s ok. I wish I had career like that.

Is he this generation's Paul Anka?

R242, nobody does a Florida retirement tour. If he's not producing, he'll be living off his investments. Hell, Shaun Cassidy is still touring and producing. And he truly sucked.

^^ Uh sure, ok. You missed it. Puth is just a bad musician. It’s ok though. He scammed millions off of unsuspecting djs and radio execs. Good for him.

He sucks and every single song he writes for other artists has gone on to flop. He’s a flop.

R233 you’re absolutely right. He looks like a hobbit. Someone mentioned it I think.

But I don’t want to get in to this bitch fest. You people suck. (So does Charlie)

You people!?

^ yeah girl. I assume you’re black, Asian, or whatever offends you the most.

The poster with the "no one will return Charlie's calls" has to be the same person that plays better piano and a has prodigy niece. I don't understand the vitriol for someone you don't know. Move on, no one's buying what you're selling.

R250 you missed the point. My niece has no special abilities. Neither does Charlie.

I still love my niece though.

And you play better piano.

Who exactly do you like R251? That people actually have heard of? 40 and under if you don't mind.

For some reason I can’t link Harry’s international tour schedule. He performs 5 nights in each city at all of the biggest forums in every major city across the US and internationally. And they’re all sold out.

I’m ok with Charlie Purhe. But he’s playing 10 community playhouses in 3 cities.

Just saying.

[quote]But he’s playing 10 community playhouses in 3 cities.

He's playing 10 venues in 3 cities?

Current tour, he's playing venues with @ 2 -3,000 capacity. Is that what you m,ean by community playhouses?

How many artists sell tickets like Harry Styles? 1D sold a lot of tickets, too. Juston Bieber sells out arenas, does that make him a great artist? Hey, I'm glad for them that they're popular. I'm sure the Rolling Stones sell more tickets than James Taylor. So what?

R253 I’m 36 and I’d take Donny Osmond over Charlie Poothe. I think This Is the Moment is a little melodrama but still better than You turn me on like a lightswitch. Seriouslsly?

Still can't answer a simple question. Blocked.

R255 I don’t want to pile on, but you seem to be a little dim.

Charley Poothe, “Charlie” tour

Beacon Theater, NY Capacity 2,894

Massey Hall, Toronto Canada Capacity 2,752

The Theater at Ace Hotel, LA Capacity 1,600

All ticket sales to date are ‘soft’. Ticketmaster

Harry Styles “Love on Tour”

Madison Square Garden, NYC Capacity 20,789

KIA Forum, CA Capacity 17,505

O2 Arena, London Capacity 20,000

Foro Sol, Mexico D.F. Capacity 26,000

Sold Out at every venue.

And Harry performs 5-10 nights at each.

Poothe can’t get a comped drink at the lobby bar when he’s back from his set.

R255 you mentioned a lot of big names and legends which shouldn’t ever be mentioned in the same sentence as Poothe

He’s fine. But no. Just don’t

R258 your Harry tour dates seem redacted. His tour goes on for months and months on 5 continents.

“Charlie” is a 6 week recital. But still, good for him.

How can you not love him.

[Quote]His tour goes on for months and months on 5 continents.

That's so he can't do any more movies.

Who?

I think Charlie is kind of funny cute. Not traditionally attractive but not ugly.

I gave his new album a listen. It’s only like 30 mins of play. It’s very decent. Some of his songs are catchy but they’re oddly short.

I’m not in his demo group but I appreciate commercial pop. Maybe he’s more of an influencer than a pop star. He seems to have millions of followers and he said he wrote it for them.

I listened to an interview with him. His voice was surprisingly deep and masculine. I suffered momentary cognitive dissonance.

Agreed R265. Sexy speaking voice, if nothing else. Why doesn’t he sing with that voice instead of how he does?

He should’ve left it on TikTok

What does he have to do with Harry Styles, R258? There's no reason to be comparing them. Charlie was not in 1D - I could maybe understand you comparing the sales of the guys in 1D. There's no competition that I know of between Charlie Puth and Harry Styles, except in your head. And no one is disputing Styles sells more tickets. He outsells almost everyone, at the moment. Other than that. do you have a point?

Of course there is competition. Harry Styles is the top Pop Male commercially.

R269 So there's a raging competition between him and everyone in the music industry who doesn't sell as well? Only in you mind.

*your

R266 I explained it before. In bubblegum pop or most modern music that is played on the radio, men are expected to sing in tenor range. Most men however are baritones. So in order to sing these higher notes they have to basically torture their vocal chords and that's why they all sound so boy-ish and immature and whiny. But that's what sells. This is going on since the 90s. There have been songs in higher registers before too like in the 80s but those were then mostly sung by real tenors so it was fitting.

Scott Hoying cant carry a tune in a bucket . If not for Pentatonix ,that bitch would have never had a career.And hes ugly as fuck !

R273 I think the video creator was just desperately looking for baritones that sing like baritones and not trying to be tenors in pop to include in the video. So everything including Scott was acceptable I guess

Nonsense. Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber have high voices. Shawn's mussy gets tortured but that's about it.

It doesn't have to be a competition. You are allowed to like Harry, Charlie, Ed or none. I hadn't heard any of Charlie's new stuff, so this thread revived my interest in him.

Mendes wouldn’t be a singer if he wasn’t smashable. His voice quality is objectively terrible, but I’d still listen to him yell at his dog all day long.

Piety gets a bad rap because he’s not hot and his music is a little plain. But it’s pop music after all, it was never going to be remarkable.

* Puthe

I wish we’d put an immigration hold on all Canadians who Ellen says are YouTube sensations. Mendes, Bieber and Pooth suck balls.

^^ that’s because Buble can actually sing.

R280 Bieber married an MTF, he’s ok in my book. Agreed on Mendes and Pooth though.

He’s gross he looks like a little kid that eats his boogers.

This thread is about Puth R277. No you are not OP, he’s fugs.

R280, Puth is not a Canadian. He’s a New Jersey-born American Jew.

Damn. I usually like the heebs. Not this one though. OPs pic is truly creepy.

[Quote]American Jew

Thanks for that granular breakdown of his national-religo status, R285.

🙄

More like, Charlie Phew.

R276 you really shouldn’t mention Charlie in the same breath as Ed and Harry. Charlie is male and he sings, that’s the only thing he has in common with Ed and Harry.

^^ one of these is not like the others

r290 Charlie is hot. Ed and Harry are repulsive.

Yeah, he’s a dish

Look... he's ADORABLE. His music's okay--I'm not a huge fan of it or 98% of what's talked about on this board, but I've certainly heard worse.

NEXT

LAME and DESPERATE

Charles Otto Puth Jr. was born December 2, 1991, in Rumson, New Jersey, [to Debra, a music teacher] who also wrote commercials for HBO, and Charles Otto Puth Sr., a builder and real estate agent. He has two younger siblings, twins Stephen and Mikaela. His father is Catholic, his mother Jewish. His paternal grandmother was a New Jersey–born third-generation Italian-American whose parents were both born in New Jersey to Italian parents. His paternal grandfather was born in New Jersey to a father of German descent and a mother of Hungarian descent

Attention - official video:

Charlie's one serious dick pig. I don't know if even I can satisfy him for long.

He's not photogenic enough for the moody, "sexy" shots in the video at r296.

He looks like someone slapped him across the face with a yamaka.

Gay Face. Fem. Closeted. Bottom. What's not to like since he is so unique?.....No thank you. I have had hotter and I can STILL do hotter. Whoever wants him can have him.

There are no degrees of uniqueness, R300.

Sarcasm takes work.

He’s a cutie. Will blow and swallow as he sings to me

He’s been around for a decade?! I hadn’t heard of him until last week. At what point does a self respecting person admit, maybe it’s not going to happen?

He seems sweet and so-so talented. But you’ve got to call it quits at some point. Music programs are under threat in public schools, he could teach!

^^ Or work on a cruise ship? He should def stay away from cameras. R118?!? I’m gen z and it’s an understood rule that you don’t post poorly lit bedroom shots especially if you’re ugs. His manager or a loved one needs to take his phone away.

R235 I have seen your future

I don't think Charlie's ugly. He's nerdy cute, but he doesn't get me tingly down there at all.

Evidently off the market. Has a gf.

We've never off the market.

R306, Suzanne Prentiss- Uncoupled.

First heard him perform One Call Away at a Miss Universe pageant telecast years ago and that falsetto just hooked me and I was smitten

R303 What are you even talking about? He's had several multi=platinum singles, he's had several Grammy nominations. He's written and produced for many of the biggest artists. Do you people really think if someone isn't on the level of Bieber or Harry Styles they should give up...? Oh yeah - YOU'VE never heard of him.

R311 I'm guessing that's the piano teacher at LA City College with the songwriting niece. I have him blocked.

R312 Not a bad idea.

Hottie

Holy shit R306. I didn’t know who or what you were talking about. Then I googled Suzanne Prentiss, Uncoupled. It’s the rictus! Holy Christ this guy is unsettling. All his manager needs to do is say don’t smile.

I’m the hater with the niece. One Call Away Is not bad at all. I stand (somewhat) corrected. Good song.

R314 is being funny I think. That dude ain’t doing for me. And he needs a better wig.

R311 Grammy noms, a neighbor of someone and writing songs for others? At what point did successful adjacent mean success?

Safe prediction, Perth will never win a Grammy.

Perth = Puthe

R318 WHO CARES?!

R320 very very few people

R319 Wow, way to incorrectly misspell his name.

He’s one of those nerdy type that’s hot in bed. I should know, I married one

Is this him?

He’s adorbs. Hope to catch him in concert soon

I think you’ll have to wait for his next lukewarm album. His “tour” was over in about 2 weeks.

R324 I don’t think that’s him. Looks like his mangled eyebrow but pretty sure he swallows.

You might have to wait until next year.This tour is small venues and pretty much sold out.

This will tide me over until then

⬆️ What’s with his vast collection of wigs? I think he’d make Dolly Parton blush

R328 Someone needs to tell these guys that voice quavering is just lame.

R327 I wouldn't call them small venues. That usually means clubs or venues with general admission. Capacity in the 100s. He's playing 2-3K capacity venues.

Those are considered small venues compared to what sizes he will be playing next year.

^ lol what’s gonna happen next year?!

R332 That's funny, I thought the term "small venue" was accepted in the music business to mean a venue that's small.

Oh, do shut up.

He reminds me of a third rate porn star from like the ‘90’s. Creepy nerd.

He’s been around for over a decade. Was he just holding back for the fun of it til this point?

Charlie in 2011 “2023 is going to be my year. I just know it”

R335 No, you shut up.

[quote]He’s been around for over a decade.

That's not the own you think it is. It proves he's popular and has a solid fan base and industry support.

I had a solid fanbase. Once upon a time.

Me thinks we have different definitions of ‘solid fan base’ and ‘small venue’. We shouldn’t speak in subjective terminology. We differ by orders of magnitude.

Not much here

R341 Look at the top hits from 11 or 12 years ago, you'll see some artists who were popular who have disappeared.

R343 like her?

He appeared on Howard Stern last week and really impressed me. He’s much more interesting than Shawn Mendes, Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber et al and has an extensive knowledge of music history and can play almost any song mentioned on the piano off the top of his head.

His own music/voice isn’t that great and is a very specifically targeted style that copies everything else pop that’s out there right now. It would be much more interesting if he found his own voice and style that was original. Whether he is capable of this or not is questionable however, but he did win a lot of Howard’s fans over with his personality, which is very hard to do as they are far from his target demographic.

Wow, this thread is very popular and I don't even know why.

R345 He's been a successful recording artist (singer, songwriter, producer) for about 7 years. That is his own voice, and style. He's not copying what's hot right now. Probably some of them are copying him.

What a condescending response r347, did I say I didn’t know who he is, what he’s done musically, or how long he’s been around? Did I say my first exposure to him was this interview? I had merely never heard him speak in a long form extended interview. His voice and style are not original, they are very derivative of artists like Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran who both have been around longer. Way to take a generally positive comment for your idol and crap on it with your deluded and patronizing stanning. No one is copying Charlie Puth.

Lol absolutely no one is copying Puth. He sounds like any generic pop singer from 20-30 years ago

^^ people copy successful, remarkable or iconic artists.

If you say [artist name] and the vast majority of the public reply “who?” It’s safe to say they’re not being copied. And who would ever know if they were?

I think kiwis might know who he is. Bizarrely he sold well down there.

New Zealand - population 5.1 mil

Maybe he could go play his small venues down there. I hear Western Polynesia is beautiful this time of year.

[Quote] Wow, this thread is very popular and I don't even know why.

Because the OP smartly chose fuckability as a thread topic.

^^ yeah and that was a shallow topic considering the subject. So we moved on to talent.

Charlie’s big moment was landing a Subway commercial 5+ years ago where he had to degrade himself to play his saccharine ditty on a little Yamaha keyboard, like he still lived at home with his parents… no commercially successful artist would sink so low for a third-rate brand like Subway sandwich shops.

I know, a little unfair, a keyboard is…ok. His music can’t be played on a real piano, like Elton John, Gaga, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Billy Joel, etc It would sound absurd to play Left and Right or You Turn Me on Like a Light switch on a Bechstein or a Steinway concert grand piano.

Pop superstars do Coca Cola, Rolex, Chanel or Mercedes, and either just their music plays in the background, or they have a character part and don’t play on air. Then there’s the payday because your sales and future prospects are obviously fleeting.

What a condescending response [R347]

Sorry if you found my response condescending because I disagreed with your conclusions. Charlie Puth's style is pop R&B. If that's not "his own style" what is his style?

Bieber is also pop R&B, Ed Sheeran (for the person who mentioned him) is not really in that same style, he's more pop/pop-folk/soft rock. Pop music follows certain musical trends and if a singer is a pop singer he or she likes that style and wants to record in that style. Not saying Charlie Puth couldn't branch out if he wants to, but I wouldn't say he's a copycat. If so, why do I like Puth but not Bieber? Lastly, I do listen to Puth, but he's far from my "idol" as you suggest.

R348 See above.

R349 Which generic pop singers from 1992 - 2002 does he sould like? Can you name any?

The composition of the songs and the bland quality of his voice brings to mind Hanson Brothers or Jonas Brothers.

There’s a vague (and I stress vague) resemblance to some late Jackson Five, featuring MJ or early solo MJ, but only his shittiest songs.

Puths music SOUNDS vintage. The first time I remember hearing it and having a name attributed to it, I had a strong reaction of ugh, when is this from?

[Quote] yeah and that was a shallow topic considering the subject. So we moved on to talent.

Every time the thread is bumped, people see the title. It draws in newbies.

He probably should’ve been in a boy band or a group. That’s where you put bland voices and vapid music with a shelf life of 5 years.

[Quote] Puths music SOUNDS vintage.

I don't agree. The AutoTune alone marks it as modern.

Donny Osmond and David Cassidy come to mind

So which pop R&B singer-songwriters today are more original than Puth?

^ clever how you create a zebra then your argument is “what other animal looks like a zebra”

Pop R&B or whatever portmanteau Puth comes up with just means he can’t do either well, so we’ll call it a fusion!

R362 Not trying to be clever, it's a simple question.

Well, Frank Ocean is much more influential than Charlie Otto.

I'm guessing a lot of people here don't like pop R&B in general (or blue-eyed soul) so nothing Charlie could do in that genre would be enjoyable to them. There are always a lot of people on DL who dismiss all current pop music. Can't really separate the fairly good or the good, from the mediocre or bad. There are also a lot of people who love to comment without hearing more than a sample of the artist.

You're guessing? You're clutching at straws, hon.

R367 Judging from the replies, no, I don't think most people here like that style of music, or even listen to a lot of pop music.. Not grasping at straws.

As said, Charlie listens to a lot of pop music and he fails to stand out from the crowd. Sorry about it.

Christ R368 you’re tiring. Whether it was directed at me or other posters, you’ve done the “yeah, but why?” “Give me a list” “yeah, but why” routine in at least 8 posts. You’re like a newly conversational 4 year old and I swore I wouldn’t get pulled into it.

For context; I’m in my 30s. I spend a great deal of time in my car or streaming music at home and the gym. I listen to SiriusXM channel 2 Hits 1 (and many others), or Apple Music hits on Sonos or workout playlists at the gym. I’ve heard everything that’s out there and I don’t give a good God damn what genre, style, or sub species the music is, I like what’s good. I listen to pop, r&b, rap, rock, country, blue grass, folk, among others.

Here’s your fucking list - In the pop/r&b/rap world, in absolutely no fucking order, these are a few of the standouts FOR ME; Post Malone, L’il Nas X, Sia, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Louis Capaldi, John Legend, The Lumineers, Khalid, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Adele, Ariana Grande, Lorde, Dababy, Kodak Black, Lizzo, 21 Savage, Harry Styles, Lil Baby, Drake, Jack Harlow, Beyonce, and several others. (I realize I threw The Lumineers in there, but I would include them in any damn list I make)

I can’t discuss formal music theory with you, nor music styles. I can only say, great voice, catchy tune, poetic verse, nice feel to it…

I don’t like Charlie Puth’s music not because I haven’t heard it. I dislike it because I have heard it. Except for 3 of his songs, it does rise above notice if except for the wrong reasons. I want to punch my car dash monitor when some of his music comes on. I can’t change the channel fast enough.

I don’t care that his ego is off the charts and disconnected from reality, I don’t care about his rumored genius or his music education, pitch, or playing by sound.

I do not like him in the car I do not like him at the bar I will not listen at the gym I do not care if you’re into him.

^^ it doesn’t rise above notice…

His new album is a bomb. Opened at #10 on the charts, then dropped all the way down to #60 in week 2. A complete failure! Bye, Charlie.

Not according to iTunes. There are too many "charts" these days.,

Like someone said, shoulda left it on TikTok. He’s basically an influencer at this point.

R373 Itunes is only 1 source of sales. Billboard combines all the sales and ranks sales from all outlets, not just itunes. Billboard is the industry bible and his album is #60 in only its 2nd week. Big BOMB.

R375, well I hope this makes your day. You can furiously masterbate now.

R376 Oh, dear.

Reddit says he's a religious Republican, as if he could get even less attractive.

I don't understand how he's done all this press leading up to the new album, but I didn't really see him perform anything. He was on Live with Kelly and Ryan and he simply chatted with Kelly and her husband. Like, sing a song off your new album for crying out loud.

R342 Looks like a treasure troll.

Trail, dear. Treasure trail.

His album flopped

Sex god.

Remember when they tried to arrange a showmance with Meghan Trainor? Poor Meghan was not feeling it.

We don't know that it's flopped. Debuting at #22 already makes it not a flop. Especially considering so many singles have been pre-released.

A friend is at his concert. How old are his fans?

Probably younger than you.

[quote]How old are his fans?

12

^^ lol Shawn is probably correct. Tweens. Too young to have broad or varied exposure or the taste and discretion to know better. That only comes with time. They’ll grow out of it like the first generation exposed to him.

Shawna should know. Charlie opened for him 5 years ago.

So 25 year old Puth OPENED for 19 year old Shawn? Embarassing.

What's embarrassing? Do you base opening acts on age? Or even talent?

^^ clearly neither

Review of NJ show

Sorry

Hey played Red Bank NJ, 10 miles from his hometown and you’re using that as flattery?

No one plays Red Bank. At least no one you’ve heard of. And nj.com calling him a superstar is hilarious.

Dirty, dirty boy.

Charlie is a pussy hound. He picks up sluts after all his shows and fucks several of them a night. All he thinks about is pussy.

R366 Why the FUCK would you guess that?

[quote]Hey played Red Bank NJ, 10 miles from his hometown and you’re using that as flattery? No one plays Red Bank. At least no one you’ve heard of. And nj.com calling him a superstar is hilarious.

It was a homecoming concert. Peole do that. Also (from the review): "Puth was recently announced as an honorary chair for the Basie Center’s new “Forever for Everyone” endowment campaign, which aims to raise $20 million in effort offer scholarships in perpetuity to Basie Center Academy programs, like the ones Puth attended as a child."

(The Basie Center was where the concert was.) "...it was a treat to see the star with 42 million monthly Spotify streams on such a relatively small stage. Remember, he headlined BB&T Pavilion (now Freedom Mortgage Pavilion) in Camden in 2018: capacity 25,000. Gigs of similar size should return next year."

He’s hot.
