Sabrina Carpenter’s ATROCIOUS single “Manchild” debuts at #1 on the Hot 100

I'll say! It certainly is no Moist from JJ!

I'm obviously not the target audience, but I have to say it's charming enough.

Synth-y fun with a sense of humor.

The song starts out sounding like it's sampling Sylvia's "Nobody."

Seems whoever's managing Sabrina's career is trying very hard to get her cast as the next Goldie Hawn in a comedy movie.

She may be starring in Mamma Mia 3

Talent aside, if she ever conceived with Seth Rogan or Conan O’Brien the baby’s giant head would split her in two and we’d have another antichrist nepo babiy on our hands.

Date pinheads, Sabrina!

"And I like my men all incompetent/And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them"

Maybe next album will bring some self reflection on this point.

She’s the niece of one of the voice actors from The Simpsons

She's the female Benson Boone.

She's entering some sort of Imperial Phase where everything she touches turns to gold. Because this song is not number one material. It's so so cheesy, it's ridiculous.

The question is will she be Gaga/Rihanna/Taylor/Billie and stay A list going forward, or pull a Dua/Katy and drop off to B list or worse?

I prefer Neneh Cherry's Manchild.

Is this a country song?

R9 She's the flavor of the year, but I don't think she can sustain her popularity by continuing to produce this weak-voiced drivel.

I think she'll flame out.

I love when people like r12 Will criticize an artist for having a “weak voice” and that they can’t sustain a career with it when we had Madonna.

R13 Madonna sounds like Beverly Sills compared to Sabrina Carpenter.

Plus, Madonna had charisma and magnetism.

Sabrina? Not so much.

r12, I'm not making any predictions about career longevity, but the girl can actually sing and I appreciate that she has a point of view.

Yup. Claiming she can’t sing is silly.

What r2 said. Not the target audience but it sounds different from the usual screeching pop songs.

r15 A person who couldn't sing would be completely unable to reinterpret the song in the ways she did.

-Casual Espresso listener/liker who's not loving Manchild seeing Sabrina has some talent

She's very popular with the young people, I don't think Sabrina's disappearing too quickly. I look at some of the less strong vocalists of the 1980s and think the lack of internet critics really was a boon to them

She’s popular right now.

I do like some of her songs. Espresso was great and I liked Bed Chem

Love this and love her. She really is turning into a fashion icon. The looks and hairstyles throughout the video are on fire. She’s a true star and is not going anywhere.

R21 She's not going anywhere, all right...in terms of talent.

Good thing I don’t have the musical taste of a 14 year old girl.

[quote] She really is turning into a fashion icon.

Yeah right.

The song is trash

Please! I spent several months with Natalie Merchant on “Thank You” - I’m not allowed to evaluate songs. It’s vocals; and I know if you cheat, Mr. Teddy Swims even if you gave two great songs so far cheater.

Um... try that again with a little more clarity r26? Sounds like potentially good dish, but I can't decipher it.

I should clarify; we didn't hang out. it was the song. How fucking gray is that hair on my keyboard….

R13 dumbfuck, Madonna didn’t have a weak voice. Janet Jackson had a weak voice.

All chart #s are BS with streaming. Billboard needs to figure this out. Nobodies are breaking records and piling up numbers all based on “listening” to a song.

Cheap skank!
