WTF is wrong with TIME magazine????

WTF is your problem? He’s the most popular and successful singer in the world at this point—

...and Clara Butt.

I've never heard of him either.

Who still reads TIME magazine

Who dis hoe?

I ❤️ Bad 🐰

Bad Bunny has great music. Get into it.

He’s huge right now, but TIME is retarded. He hasn’t been around long enough to be called an heir to any legacy artist. See if he makes it 5 to 10 years with more hits first.

I'm at a point in my life when I just can't with straight male singers anymore. Not interested in their perspective whatsoever.

As others have said, he's the biggest act in the world right now. And, yes, he's also huge in the US.

Fun fact: He's an out and proud Lady Gaga stan.

I honestly have only heard one thing from him and that was his verse on "I Like It" by Cardi B. It was decent.

Does anyone still wear a hat?

The joke is on OP, who is either a racist or old coot who is ridiculously out of touch with what’s hot today. Bad Bunny is killin it, selling out massive concerts and ruling the charts. Now, he’s conquering movies

R10, you’re also out of touch. You need to stay current and in the loop

Bad Bunny is the 5th highest-paid musician on the planet.

He took home $88 million in 2022, according to Forbes.

r13 Baby, I'm hardly out of touch. I know exactly who he is. I just have never heard any of his solo songs for some reason. And considering that I'm familiar with quite a bit of today's hip-hop and pop music, I'm not really sure how I've been missing his solo work. I mean, I've even heard GloRilla's music, FFS, and she's much newer than him.

The overcorrections

He looks like Martin Van Buren's cousin wife.

r13 Oh, and why do I "need" to stay current about what's going on in the entertainment industry and who is doing what? This mess is not that damn important. It's entertainment. So, Bad Bunny is at top of the game. Ok? And?

Rent is still due on the 1st.

Bought out by Oligarch ca$h.

Where’ve you been, OP?

Oop. I lied. I have heard his solo work. I just thought this song was by Drake when I first heard it. Well. Shit. It's a bop.

Start a thread when he starts AN Onlyfans. With men only, of course. I'd watch that. I might even read the thread.

Bad Bunny is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen. He looks "special" in that picture.

Quite high pitched

King

So, he wants everyone to know he's a " Ladies Man."

Quite cute

Artistic

^ oops sorry wrong thread

I like him. He's been working on his English, too, since it's very important to know for his budding international career.

He actually is a ladies’ man

I’m 50, didn’t know of him and don’t like being shamed for not knowing about The Bad Bunny, heir to Sinatra AND Michael Jackson AND Beyonce.

But, he’s hot. I’ll go listen now. Thanks for the tip.

What is TIME magazine?

[quote] "Bad Bunny is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen. He looks "special" in that picture."

His eyes are set too closely together, R22.

Legacy media is so cringe now.

R33, that plus the nose ring. Gross.

All I hear is a computerised voice. Am I the only one? It's not pleasant.

[quote] WTF is your problem? He’s the most popular and successful singer in the world at this point

Said no one ever.

He’s only had ONE #1 song on the charts. Get the fuck out of here. His charting in other countries is piss poor too.

Legitimately never heard of him til now. I can live with that.

[quote] legitimate heir to Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, or Beyoncé

Beyonce isn’t a thing. She’s hasn’t even be a solo act for two decades and hardly has any hits.

He’s sounds like every other hip hop artist. Bieber sings the same songs in English. It all sounds the same and auto-tuned.

Ugh... this one. Feo.

Might care if he were packing.

Which Kardashian is he fucking?

He’s a superstar

I stopped reading Time 20 years ago when it called Faith Hill and Tim McGraw the "modern-day June and Johnny (Cash)."

Beyonce was not the most popular artist during her peak so I don't know why they put Beyonce in with MJ and Frank.

Bieber can hold a tune and has some musicality, surprisingly.

What's so fucking amusing about this guy it's that they also call him some kind of hero for the LGBT community, but still he needs to constantly remind and shove in everyone's face that he's a pussy hound. He's basically the Puerto Rican Harry Styles.

Who?

How quickly we forget Lil Nas X and his chart records. It’s almost like random bozos are handed airplay for no reason on a recurring basis!

[quote] How quickly we forget Lil Nas X and his chart records.

It's almost like shock value is temporary and doesn't guarantee long-term success.

[quote] Bieber can hold a tune and has some musicality, surprisingly.

Here he is playing the drums:

Enjoyable in Bullet Train.

r52 His song "Ghost" is also pretty damn good, ngl.

Have we been sleeping on JB?? Hm.

TIME magazine’s writing and “reporting” staff are now limited to recent woke college interns and graduates whose mindfulness of history spans only their previous day’s worth of cleared Instagram account browsed website cookies.

Time doesn't matter. That magazine doesn't speak for the entire culture. It's not 1952.

Bad Bunny looks like he has Down Syndrome. But yeah, his downfall will be his arrogance. He's Puerto Rican and as such not humble in any way.

Nothing against Bad Bunny but is seems a bit premature to call him the next Sinatra

Sinatra is rolling in his grave.

Next up from TIME: Brooklyn Beckham is the legitimate heir to Paul Bocuse.

He's dating Kendall Jenner. Definitely in the closet.

Anyone dating a Kardashian lacks brain cells. There are no exceptions to this.

I don't know her

I knew he existed.

R7 Some that calls himself Bad Bunny can't make good music. If you can't even come up with a non-moronic name for yourself, how are you going to come up with good music?

I believe he is bi and dating that Jenner girl.

This guy is not a singer, okay. His voice is enhanced by a computer. He can't actually 'sing'. He sounds like everyone else going around at the moment.

That he's compared to someone like Frank Sinatra blows my mind.

Time magazine used to be important. Evidently, it's not anymore.

That's the brass tacks of it all. He cannot sing. He's a product.

As a life long musician I find his music is adequate for his teen-idol-of-the week ambitions. Let's not kid ourselves.

R67, I think they were just comparing him in terms of popularity. MJ and Sinatra were the most popular stars during their peak decades (Beyonce was not so it's weird that they mention her). Obviously he's wayyyyy short of them in terms of talent.

Sure, I hear that, R70. Maybe they should've used numerical metrics, e.g., sales, downloads or something, rather than infering that this guy was some kind of stellar talent.

Disclaimer: not a huge Sinatra or MJ fan but like some of their stuff.

R71, same as you. Not a huge fan of Sinatra or MJ either but like a handful of songs by them. I feel like Time probably wanted to avoid the wrath of Big Bunny stans by strictly mentioning his sales. So they had to infer his talent is spectacular too.

R72 Yes, Time magazine: Bad Bunny = Frank Sinatra. Forbes magazine: Kylie Jenner = a billionaire. Both false. So desperate for clicks. Same with Newsweek. Wtf indeed.

I think it started with Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue. And when you're afraid of stans and bot swarms, it really is time to shut up shop.

Frank Sinatra's career started taking off around 1940. Today, as this headline shows, he's still being used as a benchmark for male singers.

If Bad Bunny is considered a benchmark for male singers in 80 years, I will consider him an heir to Sinatra.

Terrible, untalented, and overhyped.

🐰👑

Shill piece for sure. Maybe whoever wrote the article is a “stan”.

Mr. Bunny would like you to know he is versatile.

[quote]"At the end of the day, I don’t know if in 20 years I will like a man. One never knows in life. But at the moment I am heterosexual and I like women."

R79, stan culture really corrupts all entertainment. It's just nauseating. I find it hilarious most people who self-identify as stans don't know that comes from the Eminem song where Stan is an obsessive fan who ends up killing himself and his wife.

R80, I really fucking hate gay baiting. The fact that this person is being championed as some kind of gay icon (he just won an award from GLAAD presented by Ricky Martin) makes me dislike him even more.

He's really pretty.

Imagine - a pop singer a bunch of 70 year old gay men are unfamiliar with!!!

He's no Vic Damone...

People call out Harry Styles all the time for gay baiting (which he does) but will Bad Bunny get the same kind of criticism? I doubt it.

Never heard of him til now

Will he play in Peoria though?

R82 Go get your eyes checked.

Fug face. Bad / basic songs. Very popular and raking in the bucks.

[quote] Bad Bunny is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen.

But today's culture has elevated even the most unfuckable fuggos to "kings."

R90, it's true. The weirder they look, the "better".

It's so freaking hilarious that just because you don't like a modern-day singer, DL thinks you're 60+ or 70+ yo. First of all, I'm 27 (28 in 3 months) and trust me when I say that there are a lot of people of my age range that can't stand him or his "music".

29? His career will be over in 3 years.

Never heard of him

I thought Brown Bunny was the Chloë Sevigny blow job indie movie?

Brown Butty?

Who under the age of 75 reads, or even knows about, TIME magazine? Why feature someone most over-30s don't know or care about?

Are they really going after the youth market? Good luck with that.

R94, how darn old are you bruh?

Add r97 to the extremely old list. Over 30? My granny knows who Bad Bunny is. He’s the biggest music artist today. He is everywhere and trends incessantly on TikTok. Saying you don’t know who an international superstar is is not a flex

That shvartze?!

R99 Your granny has a TikTok? Saying he's all over TikTok (an app for children and simpletons) isn't really helping. Not everyone reads tabloids or listens to top 40 charts.

He's at least bi.

GLAAD gave him their Vanguard Award. They like him, too.

R102 He's almost as gay as James Corden

The gays that run TIME and GLAAD just want him to fuck their mouths until he nuts in their mouths. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? 🤣

Wonderfully entertaining! So glad to see him finally getting his due.

Although, truth be told, Daffy Duck is the more gifted performer.

No, you’re just old, out of touch, and resentful of what’s popular and hot now in culture

When do we get to stop paying attention to pop stars? 35?

R105, that's disgusting.

R108, I'm in my 30s and so many gay men my age or older are obsessed with the likes of Ariana Grande, Halsey, Elly Golding, Taylor Swift, etc. I don't get it at all. I don't understand the master-slave attitude that these gays have towards modern-day female artists. With Madonna, Barbra, Donna, Gaga, etc. I get it. But any woman after Gaga is just coasting.

I only care about the hot bros

R105 That whole comment section is full of thirsty bottoms.

That’s common in the comment sections of TikTok and Twitter

[quote]Bad Bunny is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen.

He's not ugly, but he does look like Ali G.

What's wrong with Time Magazine, you say?

TIME today is hot garbage, but I must point out that the "Man of the Year" was not intended as praise. It was meant to be the person who had the most influence on world events. I think Hitler fits the bill for 1933.

R115, I don't understand why so many people fail to recognize that. It's meant to be a neutral term. I'm sure Hitler was the most talked about person in 1933, hence receiving that title from Time.

Yawn. They do this with every new artist. Suddenly they will become the greatest legend ever. As if fads haven't existed in music since the beginning of time. People on Twitter are dragging that cover for filth.

I have no idea who this is, but just by looking at his photo I can tell that his music is complete garbage.

This reminds me of the time when Matthew McConaughey was the new Paul Newman, only better, more talented, handsomer, and overall more legendary.

Or, going back a bit further, when Donovan was the new, improved Bob Dylan.

They've probably been doing this since the Sumerian Housewives were told that Ashur was the new Sargon when it came to playing the role of Gilgamesh in theatrical performances.

He looks like he should be hanging outside a vape shop in a run-down strip mall in Hialeah.

R118, you’re really out of touch smh

Love the puffy shirt!

Oh, you happened to notice?

It’s gone the way of People Mag - and really any other “magazine”. PR folks purchase stories/covers. They can take almost anyone and make them an It Girl/Guy/Person.

Massive cultural impact

Bad Bunny stupidly shaded Harry Styles at Coachella. He broadcast a tweet saying 'Benito can sing As It Was but Harry Styles couldn't sing El Apagon.'

El Apagon is a dumb song where BB sings 'I love Puerto Rican pussy' twenty times.

What is he, Mexican?

I turned 65 this year and I've heard of Bad Bunny and I know he's at Coachella this weekend. I don't espeicially like him but I've heard of him and I know what he sounds and looks like. I don't get how people who are 50 haven't EVER heard of him.

--Also, he's won a few Grammys and some Billboard awards. Do you people live under rocks?

Everyone has their own corner of the internet now, sorry. I like it with Bad Bunny elsewhere.
