Internet is in parenthesis, because it’s possible all communication is wild.
Okay, so as you may read in the last few days, recently it’s been Jax city on my TikTok page.
(I think eventually I’ll probably delete all these videos from my feed, because I just absolutely do not care enough about this random stuff to keep them up forever haha.)
I just thought it was weird that I didn’t realize she was on American Idol. That’s the extent of it. I don’t think she’s bamboozling us. I think it’s AMAZING she’s been able to make a strong narrative without her appearance on Idol being a big part of it.
But I didn’t super carefully curate my words. Part of that is because I’m trying not to overthink my social media!
It is good to be deliberate with your words, but stuff becomes unwatchable if you’re constantly over-explaining yourself or giving addendums and things, so I’m trying to do less of that.
So, here’s the transcript of what I posted:
“Am I the only one who, uh, just completely missed that Jax was a 3rd place person on American Idol? I think it’s fine. Think it’s great. I think that she should, you know, follow her career with abandon and everything. But I just thought she was this girl on TikTok who just liked to write songs, and then like wrote one for some girl that she was babysitting. And then oh my gosh, what a magic viral moment. But she’s already been, like, a part of a national tour, on a national television show. Like, she placed really high on American Idol. And I’m just curious, like, am I the only one who like just found that out?”
Reading that, I could absolutely see how it’s taken as passive aggressive. And not toooooooo many people were in my face. But it is interesting how to some extent, I think people are just putting on you what they think you mean – like seeing your stuff through their lens.
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
