What's still developing
- After issuing the “I don’t know what that is” line about Ella Langley, it’s definitely fair to say that Doja Cat doubled down on her dismissive criticism, probably showing her hand that she knew exactly what she was speaking about.
- Trigger Random Notes Doja Cat, Ella Langley, Mariah Carey --> 119 Comments It’s only a matter of time until Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is officially crowned the biggest single in American music history.
- It doesn’t make me feel good.” Doja Cat went on to say that Ella Langley is “probably a fine lady,” but after listening to “Choosin’ Texas” said, “This is not my vibe, but she has a very pretty voice.
- “I’m genuinely trying to find the words to help explain what’s going on in my brain today,” Langley began.
- The sports-centric digital creator took the rejection in stride, crossing his arms and looking into the camera before replying, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” The exchange sparked a range of reactions in the comments, with some viewers criticizing Langley’s response.
- And while there’s no denying she put on another great sold-out show (aside from Tennessee fans booing the mention of Texas during her radio hit), a now-viral clip from the night is putting a damper on the mood.
- For the most part though, a large portion of the people commenting under the clip, which has now racked up more than 2.7 million views, have taken the video as yet another opportunity to question Langley’s character: Others, however, sympathized with Langley and pointed out that @TIKI’s caught-off-guard question was fairly invasive and that a 10-second clip doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story: While I have no doubt Ella’s more than accustomed to being “asked out on dates” by her looming fan base of crazed Ella Fella’s, at some point there’s only so much smiling and nodding you can do in response.
- And according to the “Dandelion” singer herself, she responded under the video in a since-deleted comment that she meant for her reply to be an attempt at “dark humor”: Of course, even Langley’s attempt to clear the air ended up drawing another wave of criticism, which may explain why the comment was later deleted.
- In her defense, given Langley’s typically laid-back personality, this very well could have been nothing more than a misguided attempt to sassily play along with the bit.
- Luckily for Langley, even a blip like this can’t interfere with her endless hot streak and devout fan base as she returns to the stage for two more shows this weekend in Columbus, Ohio tonight (Sept. 25) and Moline, Illinois tomorrow night (Sept. 26).
- Look, I’m all for shooting your shot, but maybe screaming at a superstar backstage in the parking lot through a grated fence isn’t necessarily the way to bag a date.
- And unfortunately for Ella Langley, who was caught on the other end of this interaction… responding probably wasn’t a good idea either.
