Jan 23, 2026 at 5:25 PM I know he does his own laundry, but he seems depressed. No real vocal force behind the performance either. LY sounds like he can barely manage it. He looks like he hates being there.
Jan 23, 2026 at 5:38 PM well i can’t imagine he awoke one day and went, “you know what i should do? drop what im doing with my new album to sing the first word of every line of my 8 most cliched songs for ten thousand rocket mortgage employees majority of whom ‘ve probably not heard one of my songs since mockingbird.” f--- paul. it’s always nice seeing em on stage but he should be in the studio rn
Jan 23, 2026 at 6:40 PM That’s reasonable. Well, except for the part blaming Paul, though I can’t stand him, either. Nobody’s forcing Em to go get paid ten million bucks for 45 minutes onstage. Paul surely doesn’t mind, but he’s not the one in charge of when Em performs. No performance happens if Em won’t go. He just used to bring it every time, which was one of his superpowers. That’s missing here.
