With Apologies to Sena Bryer

It’s funny, isn’t it? She’s trying to call people racist for disliking a song, but I think her insisting the song is “black gospel” is actually very racist.

They are part of the same people that took a look at the savage, dumb orc race and their first thought was "they must be representing black people!"

People who defend her simply because she's trans are no better than people who attack her just because she's trans.

That being said, these takes of hers on Twitter are some of the biggest piles of shit I've seen and I finished Dawntrail MSQ. If I'm transphobic because I don't like her as a person nor as a voice actor, then so be it.

Can she stop... trying to be at war with everyone? It's crazy. I'm black, and my mind didn't jump to black gospel at all. The presence of chorus singers doesn't make something 'gospel'.

In my opinion, I may be wrong because I'm no expert... it sounds like a poor or loose imitation of it, but I would honestly call it a 'musical' piece, and yes, its very... Disney-esque. It lacks funk (slap bass, rythmic bass), and the singer is great in other places, but not here. Gospel has a lot more 'off base' singing, as in, the singer singing over the chorus at more random intervals. I think the singers pitch is too high as well. Shes not a soul singer, and thats not her fault at all. (I love Scream lol)

It's funny because Disney actually did REAL gospel way better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0eCoI87PZs

Honestly IMO even Disney’s “real” Gospel is Disney-fied tbh. The singers brought all their gospel chops to a Disney score. But on a scale of gospel to gospel inspired, Disney’s is closer to gospel compared to Smile, solely because the singer’s were gospel singers and what have you.

Also you can have a higher pitch and still get that soulfulness, I think my mind always goes to Fantasia (singer not Disney movie lol). But I’m p.sure she’s one of the, grew up singing in church, singers so even with the higher pitch she knows how to work her way around gospels.

Also! You mentioning there’s not a lot of the “off base” singing in Smile really puts in why it’s giving watered down Disney-fied gospel. And it kinda reminded me of the song analysed in this video https://youtu.be/2EXSyqw4VMw
And Smile is missing some of that “extra-ness” that could make it more than surface level gospel inspired.

All I have to say about this latest episode of the SB/WL saga is this....Thanks to @Syln for posting the link in another thread.
Enjoy

There's no need to apologies from anyone from this community. She is a big girl, she can handle the fight.

Dayam, I'm not really 100% on American norms, but surely saying black gospel is in and of itself racist?

Is it?

Honestly her recent insults towards the fanbase deserve a separate thread to spread visibility. This is originally a thread about the (alleged) death threats she's unfortunately (allegedly) received, followed by 80 pages of politics on trans issues.

Her horrible behaviour and lack of professionalism have little to nothing to do with her gender identity.

The thread started with Sena's Twitter engagement farming and has gone full circle.
