So, back in the military, I had this guy, he was courting me, basically, like he was trying to
00:01:04.340
riz me up. And he was like, I want to sing this song for you. Oh, please do. So he pulls out his
00:01:11.840
ukulele. Can I just say the ick that courses through my body thinking about a man playing a
00:01:17.820
ukulele in front of me and trying to serenade me? Oh, my butthole hurts.
00:01:23.920
Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show, starring
00:01:33.720
me, your fave, everybody knows me, who cares about me. On to the guest. Today, for the next
00:01:38.780
spooky episode, we have the iconic, the legendary, the multi-talented Bella Porch.
00:01:49.300
Okay, elephant in the room. Yes, you look way better than me. And I find that disrespectful.
00:01:54.540
You're on my show. That's really fucked up of you. To show up in a better costume.
00:01:58.420
But I feel like, um, I love Halloween, so I just have to go all out.
00:02:02.720
You can't tell by my costume, but me too. I also love Halloween.
00:02:06.840
Honestly, that's the vibe, because I also love onesies and comfy.
00:02:11.340
Yeah. And you know what? Thank you for making me feel better about looking worse than you
00:02:15.240
on my show. Even my shoes, I'm like, hey, I gave up. I wore Berks with socks. I don't
00:02:20.320
want to hear it, all right? It's my show. But anyways, thank you so much for coming. It's
00:02:25.340
an honor to have you. It's been a long journey for you. I feel like on, well, you've been
00:02:30.420
famous for fucking ever, but you are now doing music, which is so exciting and have been for
00:02:36.400
the past couple of years. So I know a whole bunch about your lore, but I would love for
00:02:41.280
the people, if they don't know which, how could they not? You're one of the most full
00:02:44.260
of people on TikTok. What your journey has been like from TikTok to now doing music full
00:02:50.440
Honestly, it's been crazy. I started TikTok 2020 after I got out of the military.
00:02:58.280
Which I also knew, and thank you for your service. You are fantastic. And that's crazy.
00:03:03.900
Yes, because they look at me and they're like, well, it's just 4'11". They let 4'11
00:03:09.680
people in the military? I'm like, yes, actually, the cutoff is like 4'9".
00:03:16.300
You're Captain America without the super soldier serum?
00:03:23.800
Yeah, and I'm the after. When you take your serum, you turn into me?
00:03:30.060
Anyways, okay, so you started TikTok after you got out of the military. What made you want
00:03:35.100
Honestly, it was just for fun at first. During that time, military people weren't allowed
00:03:43.480
And so I was just really curious after I got out. I was like, I'm downloading this. And
00:03:47.820
then I just started making fun videos, honestly, just doing a lot of face zoom. But the first
00:03:54.920
video I uploaded was of me singing Raindrops. And it's like the song by Ariana Grande.
00:04:03.040
It's beautiful. I got 100 views. And I took it down because I'm like, well, nobody gives
00:04:10.660
Yeah, yeah. So I took that down and started uploading lip syncing videos. And then those
00:04:20.360
Yeah. Well, obviously, if it works, it works, right?
00:04:23.540
Okay. So when did you, I know, obviously, you established the following, like, when did
00:04:27.980
you think like, okay, now I think I want to really start doing what I really want to
00:04:32.680
Yeah, I mean, like, people were bullying me a lot. And telling me I didn't have talent
00:04:38.520
because all you really see with my content back in the day was just me face like on a
00:04:44.200
face zoom filter and not, not speaking or like, really, I wasn't showcasing any personality
00:04:49.880
or talent. And so I just had to show them. The first video was of me singing a cover.
00:04:56.460
And they were like, Oh, she can sing. That's great. And
00:05:01.100
after that, I was just like, Well, I've always wanted to be an artist. I've always wanted
00:05:06.680
to be a singer. And yeah, that was the moment I wanted to pursue it. I was like my whole
00:05:12.600
life. I've been singing since I was seven. I won 36 golden medals from elementary to high
00:05:20.060
school from singing competitions. And I was also in the Navy choir. So like music has just
00:05:27.280
Yeah, it's been your thing. That's like, it's a part of you. Yeah. And I know what you mean.
00:05:31.100
About like people. Well, first of all, especially on the internet, people are awful and mean for
00:05:35.860
no reason, but especially towards women like and women of color, right? So when women establish
00:05:41.660
followings, because people just like looking at them, all of a sudden, it's her fault for
00:05:46.620
being looked at, which I find stupid and silly. I'm like, if you could establish a following
00:05:50.380
one way and then transition it into something you really want to do, like you would also do
00:05:54.680
the same thing. So people being mean to you for no reason is fucking stupid.
00:05:59.040
It's like, honestly, the hate comments kind of pushed my videos more and other people's
00:06:11.780
Building a platform off the shoulders of men who hate me. I'm very familiar. And I it's
00:06:17.320
funny too, because recently I, I was in an NBA commercial and I got to, I posted, I filmed
00:06:21.840
it months ago, but I would say I posted it recently. And a lot of men are fucking pissed
00:06:26.120
off at me because I'm taking yet another thing that they love, which I've promised
00:06:29.560
from the beginning. But I said in one of my response videos of men being like, why the
00:06:34.680
fuck would you pick her? What does she know about basketball? Blah, blah, blah. I said
00:06:38.040
in my video, I'm like, whether you love me or you hate me, you know me and you'll talk
00:06:42.040
about me. And that's why they picked me. I was like, so it's like, that's on you,
00:06:46.180
bitch. If you don't want people to hire me anymore, I would suggest stop talking about
00:06:49.700
me. And that's how I see your account. Like, it's like just a lot of people, millions of
00:06:55.280
people like it, but like a small section don't. And all of a sudden they're talking
00:07:00.020
shit too. And it's pushing it and pushing it and pushing it. So they're feeding your
00:07:08.560
So about your music. So how did that process come about when you first started like really
00:07:13.060
like writing and putting together things like for you personally, how did that come about?
00:07:17.460
I mean, I was very nervous at first because I've never really written. I've written on
00:07:22.160
my own. Like I would have it in my journals and stuff, but I, I didn't even know like what
00:07:31.100
Yeah. I was really nervous. Um, I've been working on my album since a beginning of last
00:07:36.780
year and, um, I've been very vulnerable with my lyrics and, um, I've just been just storytelling.
00:07:45.840
And this is your debut album because then you have an EP and I know you have singles,
00:07:52.460
And, um, yeah, I think Sweet Delusion, my next single, um, it's going to be out October
00:07:59.320
18th. And, um, I think it's, it's the first song where I could literally explain to you
00:08:06.740
every single lyric and why I put it there. Yeah. And like, it's just very personal because
00:08:16.500
Totally. And that's honestly, that's, I think what speaks to people the most too, is when
00:08:20.600
you're vulnerable and art is like, obviously music is art. So that's your way of expressing
00:08:25.760
yourself. So I think that's a beautiful thing. And I also just want to say.
00:08:29.660
Cards on the table, your song Inferno. I was on one of my most played songs the year
00:08:34.800
it came out. That's me being honest. That's me just putting it out there. Not in a weird
00:08:39.900
way. Okay. Not weird. Big fan. Not weird. Just want to say I was a big fan of that song.
00:08:46.420
Yeah. You know what? You guys should, you should take a really strong pre-workout and
00:08:50.220
then listen to that song at the gym. That's what I did.
00:08:54.600
It does. I felt like Sonic the Hedgehog. I was going like crazy. And I was like,
00:08:58.140
it's literally that Nicki Minaj audio. And it's like, that's how I felt when I was in
00:09:04.260
the gym. So highly recommend if you want to listen to that one, or they can listen to
00:09:07.700
your new single, obviously. So tell me about the writing process for your new album. Like
00:09:13.280
how has that been for you as far as like being more vulnerable? Has it been difficult for
00:09:17.320
you to kind of share a little bit more about yourself?
00:09:19.700
Um, it was easier when I'm like working with friends, like my producer is my friend. So
00:09:24.560
like, um, I could be more open about like my stories and like, um, just share a lot of
00:09:31.100
my dark stories too. And also add in like the fun ones. Um, it's been kind of easy actually.
00:09:39.720
That's good to hear. Probably therapeutic. I'm sure.
00:09:42.840
I bet. I'm so interested too, about your, you being vulnerable to on your album. Cause
00:09:46.900
from what people, people know barely anything about you, like based off your TikTok presence.
00:09:51.580
Right. Which I think is, I personally find, uh, I admire you for that. I think that's a
00:09:56.720
wonderful thing because what you share, you share forever. Right. Especially on the internet
00:10:00.860
and especially someone of your magnitude on the internet. So I commend you for being able
00:10:05.040
to kind of like still protect yourself in a lot of ways. It's very hard to exist on the
00:10:09.620
fucking internet, especially as women. That's why I commend you. And I'm, I'm so excited
00:10:13.860
to see like what kind of sides you showcase. I feel like you surprise people pretty often.
00:10:18.640
Yeah. Here's the thing. I just have so much like social anxiety. Like you have no idea
00:10:23.280
right now. I'm actually having a panic attack, but you can't tell. Yeah. You can't tell I'm
00:10:28.260
very, I'm very calm on the outside. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel like when I'm surrounded with
00:10:33.580
like amazing people like you, um, I get to be like comfortable. Yeah. And yeah, like me
00:10:39.160
and Bretman, I feel so comfortable with him because like, I mean, we've known each other
00:10:43.100
for a while, but also like he just brings out that side of me. Yeah, totally. Well,
00:10:47.540
every shy girl needs a not shy friend. You know what I'm saying? Like that helps them feel
00:10:51.980
a little less shy and that's okay. Have you been shy your whole life? Yes. Do you not feel
00:10:55.640
shy when you sing though? No. Period. That, yeah, that's a whole different person. Like I don't
00:11:00.500
even know her. I feel like a lot of performers are like that. Even when I had chapel on the show
00:11:05.360
too, she's very shy. She has a lot of social anxiety too. She really gets really nervous
00:11:09.980
like in crowds and stuff. But when she performs, she doesn't feel that way. And I think that's,
00:11:14.720
I think that's a good thing. That's another, I think, layer of protection too. It's like
00:11:18.240
the performing side of you and then who you really are. They're both parts of you, but one
00:11:24.120
is one everybody sees and one is only some people see. Yeah. And what about Bretman? Did
00:11:28.400
you guys just connect online? That's how you guys became friends? Yeah. Love that.
00:11:32.360
Yeah. Honestly, it was, I met him in 2021. Love. Yeah. Period. And now we're cousins.
00:11:38.500
Now you're cousins. I know. It's on my Wikipedia. And he's my sister. I know. It's only people
00:11:43.120
he's my sister and they're like, oh my God, I didn't know you guys were related. We aren't.
00:11:47.060
You can tell by looking at us. He looks more like Bella than he looks like me. What the
00:11:50.300
fuck? But he's grown up around a lot of Samoan people. So I feel like that's why he and I vibe
00:11:56.000
really well. But anywho, back to you. I would love to know more about growing up like as
00:12:02.480
far as, where did you grow up? Philippines. In the Philippines, right? Okay. So when did
00:12:06.500
you move to America? When I was 14. Oh, okay. And how was that transition for you? It was
00:12:12.220
a shock. Really? I can only imagine, especially at 14. I was living in a farm. Yeah. It was
00:12:18.540
crazy. The first time I saw huge buildings was when I went, sorry. That's okay. I'm
00:12:25.340
bilingual. I know you're smarter than me. So like, sometimes I think in Tagalog and it's
00:12:32.800
just like, it confuses my brain. But the first time I saw huge buildings was when I was taking
00:12:38.520
my flight to America. Oh, really? In Manila. And were you like fascinated? I was just like,
00:12:43.320
whoa. You're like scared? Yeah. I was like, whoa, why is everything so big here? Like, what
00:12:48.400
the fuck? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. And then when you came, you came to America
00:12:52.980
when you were 14. And then did you get involved in a lot of, were you in a lot of like extracurriculars
00:12:57.420
as far as like choir and stuff like that in high school and everything? I actually wasn't
00:13:01.300
allowed to. Yeah. Not even sports. Like my parents didn't let me. They were very strict. So
00:13:06.180
it was all academics. Oh. Yeah. I was an A plus student. Like. Smarty pants. Look at you. Just
00:13:11.520
no extracurricular. You're just constantly doing homework and stuff. Yeah. Oh, so when did you
00:13:17.400
start pursuing singing when you joined the military? I mean, I did it back in elementary
00:13:21.860
in high school, but I, that's right. I did it behind my parents' backs. Like they never
00:13:25.980
knew that I was singing, um, because they would never allow it. Yeah. Yeah. And, um, yeah.
00:13:32.160
So when I joined the military, I was just always volunteering to be on the Navy choir. So I'm
00:13:37.460
just like. And you said you served in the Navy. Yes. I joined when I was 17. How was it in
00:13:42.880
the Navy choir? I'm so interested. I'm so interested. I mean, on the weekends that you
00:13:46.400
just were like, you, they just ask you, Hey, do you want to, um, be part of, um, this
00:13:51.880
events on the weekend? Yeah. And I just like, yeah. And then we just sing.
00:13:57.600
That's really cool. So now, so after you established the, the TikTok like platform and
00:14:03.700
then you start really growing, like what was the, I always love to ask this question to
00:14:08.500
people who have been doing it for a while. Like, how did it feel once you really started
00:14:12.080
like moving into rooms with other like huge producers or artists or anything? Was it like,
00:14:17.440
were you frightened at all? Were you worried or were you kind of like, okay, period. Now
00:14:23.340
I was worried. Yeah. Because I just care so much about like what people think of me, but
00:14:29.420
now I feel like I'm so much better. Like I feel, I feel more confident now when it comes
00:14:34.500
to like songwriting and just, yeah. And it's easier too, when it's collaborative, like when
00:14:41.300
I tell the producer, Oh, maybe these drums are better and they listen, you know, crazy
00:14:46.820
how that works when you're making your own music, when they listen. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, I've
00:14:52.120
worked with people and, um, yeah, I'm not going to name names, but there was, you know, someone
00:14:58.240
that I've worked with a producer and they're like, yeah, maybe not those lyrics, but I'm like,
00:15:02.800
it's my story. Yeah. It's my song. Well, it's my song. So yeah, I feel that. I mean,
00:15:09.580
I have no way, I know way shape or form can relate to the song aspect because I can't sing
00:15:14.920
for shit, but if I could, Oh, I'd be so annoying. I said that all the time. I was like, God knew
00:15:21.420
make that bitch funny. Don't give her any sort of singing voice because I truly like, I think
00:15:26.700
I would sing all the time. I would be insufferable. Do you like karaoke? I do love karaoke. I don't
00:15:30.980
think karaoke loves me, but I do love karaoke. I love a good karaoke. You love karaoke. Yes.
00:15:36.120
Yes. A lot of Filipino love karaoke. Yes. That's like in every party that you can expect
00:15:41.900
like a karaoke machine being there. Yeah. And you know what? It makes sense. Like, because
00:15:46.720
it's always fun. I think karaoke is always fun. And it doesn't matter if you can sing
00:15:51.000
or not. No, not at all. Yeah. Literally. That's when I had Kehlani on the show, she was like,
00:15:56.280
I don't like karaoke. And I was like, really? That's shocking to me. And she goes, no. Cause
00:15:59.900
like, you know, like when I sing, it's just, you know, it's just, it looks like I'm like
00:16:04.580
showing off. And she said, I was like, Oh, sorry. Sorry. Some of us aren't fucking actual
00:16:09.500
recording artists. Fucking sorry. Some of us are having fun. I know two of my friends did
00:16:13.920
karaoke at my sister's 30th birthday and they can both sing very, very well. And so they're
00:16:18.080
doing a duet. I went to bed. I was so mad. Hey, I'm going to sleep. You guys are going to
00:16:22.180
show me up at my sister's party. Just kidding. But it was so much fun. So I'm glad. What's
00:16:27.120
your favorite karaoke song? Um, right now I've been into pretty hurts Beyonce. Damn. Yeah.
00:16:36.460
That's a hard one. Me personally. I'm like, you didn't ask me personally. I honestly don't
00:16:42.520
even know what song I would pick if I did karaoke. Cause I just like, I just be picking random
00:16:46.420
shit, but I mean, that's pretty hurts. What other kinds of songs do you like? What artists
00:16:51.720
do you like? I'm curious. Oh, right now I've been obsessed with Mitski. Oh, I love
00:16:55.440
her. Yeah. Um, Chaperone, Sabrina, Charlie. Yeah. Right. All the pop girls, obviously all
00:17:04.520
the pop girls, cause you're a pop girl. And that's actually a perfect segue into our transition
00:17:08.980
for today, which is men on the internet who think pop is dead or that modern female pop
00:17:13.560
artists have killed the genre. And which is, I think very common. I think this is the year
00:17:19.520
of pop girls. Like they're like, especially this year, I feel like so many, uh, pop women
00:17:24.880
are just really showing the fuck out and you are next on the list, miss girl. When your
00:17:29.240
debut album comes out, which I'm excited for you. I hope so. I know. So it's all right.
00:17:34.440
Taking my stamp of approval. It means nothing. Um, okay. So we're going to read some of these
00:17:38.840
videos. This one is in this video, a man is basically staring into space with text over
00:17:44.360
the video that says, I love that pop music is slowly becoming a graveyard for garbage
00:17:49.020
redos of great hits that were popular at least a decade ago. Great job innovating music industry,
00:17:55.020
which is obviously sarcasm. Yeah. Well, when he says redos of great hits that were popular
00:18:02.340
a decade ago, I don't really know any artists that come out with covers and they do well.
00:18:08.000
I don't know. Yeah. I mean like they'll do covers and then people are like, wow, that's so
00:18:11.520
fantastic. But to say pop, I don't know. Redos. Do you get a lot of hate about music
00:18:18.220
in general? Like, like about your music? Yeah. Do you ever get guys saying like, I don't
00:18:23.460
like this? Yes. And you're like, well, it's not for you. Mostly men actually. It's always
00:18:27.260
men, isn't it? Yeah. They hate anything women do. Yeah. Um, it's funny cause I feel like most
00:18:33.700
men, especially the ones I, I've, yeah, like I don't think they have good taste in music.
00:18:41.520
Like most of my male friends actually still listen to like what they listened to back
00:18:47.120
in 2015. Yeah. And they still haven't moved on from that. And I'm like, it's 2024.
00:18:54.460
Yeah. No, that's actually so real because to be quite honest with you, whenever people
00:18:58.820
say shit, like I'm like, well, what do you like? And then they tell you, you're like,
00:19:01.860
oh, well, I don't want you to like my music then. You like my music. That means it's bad
00:19:07.200
cause the music you like is bad. That's actually so true. And also too, I feel like men typically
00:19:14.040
like men like this who talk mad shit on pop girls, it's like, you don't even listen to
00:19:18.300
pop music. So what do you fucking care? Like you don't even listen to that. What do you guys
00:19:22.880
listen to? I don't even know. What do awful men listen to? Do you know what they listen to?
00:19:27.320
I'm trying to think like Travis Scott. I just always think like Travis Scott is the worst
00:19:35.080
fans in the world. Like the men who love him. Every time I see a shit guy, I'm like, what
00:19:41.320
are you into? Yeah, that makes sense. Like, yeah, you like him. I mean, that's no, I don't
00:19:45.760
know if that's a reflection of Travis Scott. I'm just saying, why are all your fans the
00:19:49.520
worst? Okay. The comments on this video, this one says the pop era is gone. If you're still
00:19:54.780
into it in 2024, you have the musical intelligence of a door. What if you're still
00:20:00.640
into it? Do pop do like genres of music just disappear over time? No, that would be
00:20:07.520
like if I said you're still in the country as if like, well, yeah. Yeah. Um, I feel
00:20:14.320
like this era is so much like it's, it's evolved. Like pop music has evolved. I feel
00:20:21.120
like totally, um, we have so many like great female pop artists and all sound very different
00:20:28.020
from each other. Like they all, none of them sound alike. Like Chapel Rowan doesn't sound
00:20:31.780
like Billie Eilish. No, you know what I'm saying? Like they don't sound like each other literally
00:20:36.060
at all. So I also think like saying that you it's again, I feel like it lends towards
00:20:42.540
men just want to make women feel bad about what they like. And a lot of times women love
00:20:47.060
pop music. And so they try to make it seem stupid or like silly that they like pop music.
00:20:51.820
And I'm like, if you were selling music like that, you'd probably get a girlfriend. But
00:20:56.220
if you like music like that, you'd probably like, I don't know, be able to touch a woman
00:21:00.060
like consensually. I have like a very funny story, actually. Oh, like I said, men have
00:21:05.860
really bad taste in music. And most of the time they don't even understand the lyrics or
00:21:12.560
they don't even listen to the lyrics at all. Yeah. Like they listen to the beat and they're
00:21:17.260
like, this is sick. But like, they never actually like, you know, like, yeah, totally. And
00:21:21.660
so, okay. So back in the military, I had this guy, he was courting me basically, like he
00:21:26.740
was trying to riz me up. Yeah. And he was like, I want to sing a song for you. Oh, please.
00:21:33.800
So he pulls out his ukulele. And he starts singing and the lyrics go, are you happy with
00:21:42.180
me? Or is this just for show? I want to know, is this genuine love? Right? So it's like,
00:21:49.540
it's a song genuine love by Kolohikai. Yeah. And he was trying to riz me up saying it's a
00:21:55.180
love song. But I'm like, did you read the lyrics before you sang it? Hey, dumbass. Like
00:22:01.000
it's a heartbreaking song. Literally. What the fuck? So yeah, that's and then I told him
00:22:08.400
that and he's like, Oh, I thought it was a love song. I thought it was like a cute love
00:22:11.960
song. And I'm like, No, can I just say the ick that courses through my body thinking about
00:22:17.640
a man playing a ukulele in front of me and trying to serenade me? Oh, my butthole hurts.
00:22:25.120
Oh, that gives me such tangible ick. It's funny because he was from Hawaii and you know, like
00:22:30.340
Hawaii, like they love a ukulele. They love a ukulele. Yeah, they sure fucking do. I'm
00:22:35.640
like, okay, well put that away because I'm embarrassed. And I feel I feel humiliated watching
00:22:39.520
you sing in front of me. Did you feel embarrassed? I feel embarrassed for him. Did he sing the whole
00:22:44.140
song? I let him finish. Yes. Damn. You sat there for like two and a half minutes. Yeah,
00:22:48.920
my face is literally silence. You're like, I could have gotten up and left and he wouldn't
00:22:54.100
even notice because he's too into the song. Yeah, I was being nice. Oh, I do love Kaloha
00:22:59.600
Kai though. I do love that group. Oh, man. You guys wouldn't get it. You guys wouldn't get
00:23:04.580
it unless you're a local girl. You get it. I feel like with when men like, Oh, God, who
00:23:10.220
was I talking to about that? I forget. Oh, I think I was telling my fiance. I was telling
00:23:13.700
him like, I'm honestly kind of glad you can't sing because if you saying to me, I think I
00:23:19.520
would be embarrassed. I don't know. There's just something about having to sit there and
00:23:22.760
wait, like be like, yeah, it's like when people sing happy birthday to you. You're like, what
00:23:26.600
am I supposed to do? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That is so awkward. Yeah. And it's like, why? Okay,
00:23:30.480
speed it up. Like when I went on my birthday just past and when I, we went to Disneyland for
00:23:34.620
my birthday and like they brought me a little cake thing at the restaurant and they were like,
00:23:39.120
okay, well, do you want us to sing? And I was like, no, it's all right. And then they were kind of
00:23:43.440
like, Oh, okay. No, no. They just were so shocked that I was like, I'm okay. And then
00:23:49.920
they left. Cause I, I don't want to, I don't want to sit there and listen to it. Yeah. It
00:23:54.240
feels like the longest 30 seconds of my life. Like when I'm just there and be like, thank
00:23:59.520
you. I usually like just sing along. If I do that, they're going to get mad at me. All
00:24:06.660
of a sudden everyone's pissed off. Cause I sound bad. Yeah. The thought of sitting there
00:24:11.420
while a man sings to me, especially in a romantic way. Yeah. Oh, I'd have to turn
00:24:18.360
my back. The ick would be unforgivable. Have you even sang to a lot in your life?
00:24:23.420
Yeah. Yeah. You look like you would be, I think three times. Yeah. Three times is crazy.
00:24:30.120
Yeah. That's a lot of times that you've been serenaded. Do you remember the other two songs?
00:24:35.300
Um, no, the other one was like kind of depressing. I don't know why he was singing
00:24:39.840
that to me, but like, was he just singing just for fun or was he trying to like, he
00:24:44.060
was also trying to raise me up. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. First date was like, he brought his
00:24:49.740
guitar and I was like, is that a red flag? He brought, he brought his guitar to the
00:24:54.040
date. Yes. Where'd you guys go on a date? Um, it was just like a little dinner thing.
00:24:58.760
Oh, so you went to a restaurant and he brought the guitar inside the restaurant, Bella. And I
00:25:04.720
bet you sat there the whole time. Bella, I got to work with you on that girl. We got
00:25:10.280
to work on that together. I wasn't expecting it though. I was just like, why are you holding
00:25:13.420
a guitar? Why'd you bring this? You're like, did you come from band practice or? And he's
00:25:19.440
like, Oh this, Oh my God. I'm so glad you brought it up. I have a song prepared for you. Did
00:25:24.700
he sing it at the table? No, no. Oh, absolutely not. I don't think I'd let him. That would be
00:25:28.800
kind of embarrassing. I hope not. Yeah. No, no, but you're so kind. And I feel like
00:25:32.840
you let men kind of get it out first and then you're like, and then I tell them. Yeah.
00:25:35.960
Then you're like, that was really embarrassing. You'll never see me again. Yeah. Did he leave
00:25:41.440
it in the car? I mean, I went to his place. Oh, I see. And then he played it at his place.
00:25:46.400
Yeah. And then he was like, I know you've been looking at my guitar on that. Yeah. And
00:25:49.520
then after he played, I went home. I was like, good night. I was like, good night. Yeah.
00:25:54.880
That's it for me. Oh man. The, the, the fury and the rage I feel. See, they do shit like
00:26:01.700
that. And then they're like, what do you mean you hate all men? That's why. Like, like women
00:26:07.520
don't do shit like that. Like, I don't know how else to tell you that. Like, it's also the
00:26:11.140
fact that they make you sit there and watch the whole thing. Like you're kind of, yeah,
00:26:14.220
it's kind of like, I don't know. It's awkward, especially when they can't really sing and they
00:26:18.300
think they can sing. It's just like, dude, singing in front of you too would, would that
00:26:22.980
you'd have to be real confident that you can sing well, because I I'll tell you what,
00:26:26.760
I'm not singing in front of a bitch who can sing. That's for fucking sure. I don't want
00:26:29.980
to hear the, I don't want to hear. It's funny. Cause I wants, I tell the story a lot and I
00:26:34.220
don't give a fuck that everyone here has heard it. I was asked to sing for a role. Um, I know
00:26:39.880
you're probably curious. No, I didn't get it. Um, and this is why, cause when I sang acapella
00:26:44.540
was, they said, well, first of all, they asked me if I could sing. I said no. Then they said, okay,
00:26:48.240
great. Send me a minute of you singing acapella. Why? So you can block me. Okay. So I did.
00:26:54.200
And I had my cousin help me because he can sing really well. And then he was recording
00:26:58.420
me and there were some takes where he would be like, okay, I, I'm going to delete that
00:27:03.040
one. Cause that's really bad, but we should try again. Wait, did you get to pick the song?
00:27:08.540
Yeah. They said you can pick a song, but they said to pick a song that's not too like niche.
00:27:12.920
Like they said they wanted it to be a song that was like well known. Which one did you pick?
00:27:17.280
Do you remember? I picked landslide, which is like, you know, yeah. Don't know what
00:27:21.700
that says about me, but, uh, apparently I should have picked a fucking rap cause they
00:27:25.620
never, uh, got back to me. So, but that's why I'm like, sometimes I think about people
00:27:30.500
like Lin-Manuel Miranda and I'm like, I could do it. I could sing. I mean, you can always
00:27:36.700
like learn how to sing. I'm not, you know, I'm not tone deaf. I just can't sing. You know,
00:27:42.800
it's like, and I think there's power in admitting that there's only one Bella porch.
00:27:47.500
There doesn't need to be another one of us. I could just, she could sing and I could stand
00:27:50.700
next to her and tell jokes. Like, that's literally why I'm like, my strength is in being funny,
00:27:54.620
not in singing. That's one of the few things in my head that I think is like a God given
00:27:59.120
talent. Like it's like you're born with it kind of thing. And then you can obviously hone
00:28:02.800
it as time goes on. But that's singing in front of you, especially if they're trying to like
00:28:06.760
riz you at the same time. And they're pitchy on top of that. That sucks. Damn. Oh, for two.
00:28:15.180
Yeah. This next comment says facts, bro. How is pop music challenging to the listener?
00:28:20.820
What the fuck are you talking about? What are you talking about? David Goggins? I don't understand
00:28:28.540
when challenging to the listener. What is it? A fucking quiz? Like, what do you mean
00:28:36.360
challenging? I honestly think pop music has some of the most beautiful lyrics ever. Literally.
00:28:41.420
I also think that about reggae, like Island Reggae specifically. They have some of the most
00:28:44.700
beautiful love songs I've ever heard. Is that true? And that's all in lyrics. So that's why
00:28:48.460
I'm like, challenging? I don't know what that means. I really don't. Do you think your album's
00:28:55.160
pretty challenging lyrically? I don't think so. I mean, I mean, they're straight to the point.
00:29:00.440
Like you can understand the lyrics. Like I'm not. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of how that works.
00:29:04.460
Yeah. There's like a lot of a lot of artists, too. When especially pop artists like I grew
00:29:11.100
up with like Lady Gaga and like Sia. And I just remember listening to Chandelier and I'm
00:29:16.100
like, damn, this is a great song. Yeah. And then when you actually read the lyrics, like
00:29:20.640
it's so dark. Like I like that the lyrics are dark, but you don't hear that. But you can't
00:29:25.940
tell based off the melody and everything. It's very relatable. Yeah, totally. Yeah. That's
00:29:29.960
the whole point of art, right? So it can like people can relate to it. This one says it's
00:29:34.920
because music artists are running out of ideas to make a brand new song without the use of
00:29:40.060
other great hits. New music could be dead by the next decade. When people say shit like
00:29:44.180
that and they like they work at fucking Lowe's, I'm like, why do you care? Like you don't know
00:29:49.900
shit about music theory. You don't know anything about producing. Like you don't know anything.
00:29:54.100
So it could be dead. And I think they're talking about samples. Like, are you a fan of samples
00:29:58.720
in music? Like when they sample? I don't mind it. Yeah, I don't mind it either. I think
00:30:01.720
if done correctly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Sometimes it can be really bad. Yeah. Sometimes it's
00:30:06.500
horrible and sometimes it's a hit. Like I think it's very hit or miss. I think it just depends
00:30:10.260
on obviously production and all of that. Okay. This next video is in this video, a man in
00:30:15.460
his car is talking to camera asking where the men in the pop music industry have been lately.
00:30:19.800
He says no big male pop stars are standing out to him and calls out Charlie XCX, Beyonce and
00:30:25.720
Chapel Rhone as some of the women completely dominating the pop industry right now and
00:30:30.280
jokingly adds, where are the men? Not serving cunt. That's for sure. And the men in comments
00:30:35.220
got very defensive. Okay. So period, a period to the music, to the thing. Also, I will say
00:30:39.360
Troye Sivan's there. So Troye Sivan's dominating pop too. Literally. And he's on tour with Charlie
00:30:45.680
XCX. So, but obviously this video is funny and then the comments are mean. Okay. So this comment
00:30:51.000
says the internalized misandry is pretty strong here. He said misandry? Yeah. Ro needs a mushroom
00:30:57.840
trip. Mushrooms? What does that have to do? Wait, what? Hold on. That's a whole different,
00:31:02.860
that's a whole other thing. Okay. Internalized misandry. Interesting. I'm assuming because this
00:31:08.320
is a man making the video and then they're internalized. I think misandry is a response
00:31:14.840
to misogyny. Obviously it is. But it's also like when men try to say like, well, what about
00:31:20.160
women who hate all men? I'm all, what about them? Yeah. What about them? What are you
00:31:24.620
bothered by them? Why? Like they're not bothering you. They just hate you. Like they hate you
00:31:28.480
from afar. You know, what's funny is like recently I had men, like I used a clip from this show
00:31:33.020
actually saying like when women said they hate all men, like I don't ever correct them because
00:31:38.080
there obviously has to be a reason you feel that way. So who am I to tell you, you shouldn't
00:31:42.520
feel that way. That's not my, that's not my decision to make. Right. Cause that is their
00:31:46.940
experience. Oh man, the amount of men who found it fucking six months later and then
00:31:50.980
they're clipping it and they're like, Oh, you're saying that all men should die. When
00:31:55.040
the fuck did I say that? Like, what the fuck are you talking about? It's giving dramatic.
00:31:58.940
Yeah. They always call me like the queen of misandress, which is funny. Cause I am not
00:32:02.840
someone who's ever said I, I hate all men, but I understand why people hate them. And that's
00:32:07.920
why I said, if you, even if I did hate all of them, like, what are you going to do about
00:32:12.620
that? Yeah. Change my mind. I just, I hate all men. Change my mind. I put it on front
00:32:17.320
of my fucking thing. Do you ever get called a misandress at all? I feel like you don't
00:32:21.360
talk enough for people to register. I honestly don't talk enough. Um, I probably, yeah, this
00:32:25.860
is like my third ever podcast period. And, um, thank you for having me here. Oh my God.
00:32:30.860
Anything for you? Obviously. Um, yeah, I don't really talk much and I feel like, yeah. And
00:32:36.640
they still formulate opinions. Honestly. Yeah. And they still, they still hate on me. I'm like,
00:32:40.780
I don't even talk. I'm just a woman. That's crazy. I, you know what? You're a great example
00:32:48.940
of that. And so is, um, you know, Emily Mariko. Yes. Yes. I use her as an example. Now I'm going
00:32:54.140
to use you too. As someone who, when people are like, Oh, how do I get over dealing with
00:32:57.840
hate on the internet? I'm like, well, first of all, don't pursue this career if you're afraid
00:33:02.040
of that or if that really affects you and I'm being dead serious. Don't do it. It's like,
00:33:05.460
you can't control that. But I'm also like people like you or people like Emily, they don't
00:33:09.900
even talk in their videos. You heard Emily talk for the first time, like end of last
00:33:13.960
year. And she's been on there for a few years. And I said, and people are still like, I don't
00:33:17.400
know, just something about her. Hate it. You guys are insane. Like you're nuts. Like if
00:33:22.720
you, you see someone just moving around and you're like, their energy is bad to me. Yeah.
00:33:27.880
They just see someone existing and they're like, yeah, I hate it. Well, I know. And yours
00:33:30.740
was like just zooming into your face and then they're like, burn her. They're so pissed
00:33:38.520
off at you. Yeah. And then I think I told you, I think if you could do it, you wouldn't
00:33:45.460
be so fucking mad. Like if I said, if you could, if someone else could film themselves,
00:33:50.180
someone who like just hates you for no reason senselessly, like me, it makes sense. I've
00:33:54.820
told people it makes sense if you hate me. I, yeah, I, I antagonize on purpose. I like
00:33:59.740
go in and I swing on people. If I was shocked that I got hate, I would be the biggest hypocrite
00:34:04.560
alive. But most women just for existing on the internet gets so much fucking hate. It's
00:34:10.020
like insane, especially for men. They're like, I don't know, just the way she's like
00:34:12.980
zooming in on her face just pisses me off. All right. You're free. Yeah. It was, it was
00:34:17.780
hard at first, honestly, but now I'm so much better at it. Well, and especially because
00:34:23.160
of how big you got, how quickly, like no one, like I saw a TikTok once of someone saying
00:34:29.760
like that they understand why people with platforms struggle and like have to take breaks
00:34:35.220
or like public people in general, because no one was ever meant to be perceived by that
00:34:41.160
many people at one time, like in, in the history of time that has never been the case until
00:34:45.740
now. And so it, it is very hard to deal with being perceived by millions of people constantly.
00:34:51.180
I talked to travel about that a bunch. It's, it's very difficult to go through that. And
00:34:55.600
I, even as someone like myself, I'm like, even someone like myself who I am very, I'm
00:34:59.720
known to be really mean to people who are rude to me for no reason. And they still
00:35:03.780
do it. It doesn't stop them from attacking me either. So it's like, it really doesn't
00:35:07.160
matter. That's why I tell people like, if you want to make your art, if you want to
00:35:10.460
make your content, you should just make it regardless. Cause they're going to hate you
00:35:13.500
no matter what, especially if you're a woman. So you might as well, might as well just do
00:35:16.960
it. And that's what you did. And now look, this next comment says, why is pop music
00:35:23.900
exclusively not for straight men now? Huh? You can enjoy whatever you want.
00:35:29.720
You just want to actively hate it. Are they just talking about like female
00:35:33.900
artists? I'm assuming that's why they're like, well, when a straight man comes that
00:35:37.820
can compete in this realm, you let me know. I haven't seen one, but you let me
00:35:43.500
know. Literally. If one of you straight men want to pursue pop, get into it. You know
00:35:47.760
what I mean? This next one says the music industry just became a girl's playground.
00:35:53.340
That's why we don't see male pop singers anymore. Well, you can't compete where you
00:35:58.820
don't compare. So you can't compete with these women and that's why you're not
00:36:02.160
there. Yeah, no. Like women have just been making bangers. I know. Like what are you
00:36:07.020
talking about? Stop that. Step your game up, player. I don't know how else to tell you
00:36:10.700
that. Yeah. Who's someone that you would love to collaborate with?
00:36:13.960
Um, I think Mitsuki. Oh, that would be sick. Yeah. I always tell people like I'm such a
00:36:21.960
huge fan, um, especially like with her old songs, actually. Um, I first started listening
00:36:28.300
to her last year and, um, it was, my album is very like inspired from her music. Oh, I
00:36:34.760
love that. I love how your style of music is very different. I love the, like, it's very
00:36:40.380
dark and like, kind of like moody. I love that kind of music. Yeah. Um, especially
00:36:45.320
for my new album. Um, it's going to be so different from my EP, Dolls, which like had
00:36:51.280
Inferno. Um, this time around. I said, oh, I'm well aware. I'm well aware about where
00:36:57.080
Inferno is at. But, um, I wanted this, um, era to be more just like dreamy and like, like
00:37:07.000
you said, moody. And, um, a lot of my lyrics are very like, um, emotional and yeah, but
00:37:14.160
it's still pop. Yeah, absolutely. And there's no shame in that either. I feel like men, especially
00:37:19.480
who just want to hate for no reason online, they like try to almost make pop music like
00:37:24.820
silly or stupid. Like it's like not a valid genre, which makes no fucking sense to me.
00:37:30.480
Uh, but I think it's the beauty of pop is that it can like cover so many different like
00:37:37.200
kinds of music or like styles or vibes. Right. Like, like I said, like your music isn't going
00:37:43.180
to sound like chapels and hers isn't going to sound like Billie Eilish and hers isn't
00:37:46.700
going to sound like Dua Lipa. Like if there's no one's going to sound like Beyonce. So it's
00:37:50.140
all very different. Yeah. Was there any artists that like got you into music initially that you
00:37:55.640
were like, Ooh, I think I want to start singing or I think, um, well there was like Mulan,
00:38:02.380
like, you know, the song reflection by Leah Salonga. I'm very familiar. Um, but what really
00:38:09.900
wanted me to be like a pop artist was Lady Gaga girl. Yeah. I love Lady Gaga. Yeah. I've loved
00:38:18.860
that bitch forever. When me and my, uh, wait, how old are you? 27. Okay. Period. I just turned
00:38:24.540
29. So we're not that far apart in age. Typically when I ask people, they're like, Oh,
00:38:27.720
I'm 21. I'm like, Oh fuck. Oh my God. You're like so much younger than me. Um, I'm like,
00:38:32.960
I'm a hundred in TikTok years, especially when we were, I think when I was like a freshman
00:38:37.760
in high school, my sister and I found Lady Gaga and we were like obsessed with her and
00:38:42.080
we learned the entire like bad romance choreography and we used to do it at the time. Yeah. I still
00:38:47.220
remember pieces of it. Don't ask me to do it. I do remember pieces of it though. And I was
00:38:52.160
like, well, my sister's a lesbian and all my friends are gay. So that makes sense for
00:38:55.400
me that I was a big Lady Gaga fan. I've been a fan of hers forever. I feel like I see that
00:39:00.760
for you. I love how like, she's so like, she was so far ahead of her time. No. Yes. And
00:39:06.760
I feel like that's where you're at too. Oh, I'm very excited for you for your debut album
00:39:11.620
specifically. But what other, uh, what other things do you think people will be surprised
00:39:17.160
about to hear in your album? Do you think it's more so you being more vulnerable? Yes. Uh,
00:39:22.160
vulnerable and just the sound of it. It's just different from what I've, um, put out in the
00:39:26.660
past. Oh, yeah. Um, I think they're also going to be like a little bit shocked on the new
00:39:33.460
music video that I'm going to be putting out on the 18th. It's going to make you cry.
00:39:39.400
Literally. I, um, I actually just shot the music video like a few days ago. Oh, nice. And I was
00:39:44.980
saving up tears for that, for that, for that moment. And it was like, no, a month. I didn't
00:39:51.420
cry for a month, but that's easy. I'm an Aquarius. So like, we don't really cry that much. So
00:39:55.980
you're really good at that. Yeah. Bottling up until you need it. Yes. And then, um, yeah,
00:40:00.700
there's just this scene that I know will make you cry. Okay. I can't wait. That's good for the good
00:40:06.120
for the warning. Yeah. Have your fans been very excited. I feel like your fans have been super
00:40:09.640
excited for a full like debut album. Yes. They've been waiting for a minute. They've been waiting.
00:40:14.320
You've been having them wait for a while. Yeah. And I, I apologize because I was looking for
00:40:19.680
just like the, the right sound for my stories, especially like the album is going to be around.
00:40:26.260
Um, it's about my, my best and worst experiences in my entire life. Yeah. So, yeah. So it's a lot
00:40:34.180
to unpack and work on. And it has to be like the right, you know, production. Yeah, totally. Yeah. To
00:40:39.460
match the story. You seem like a perfectionist in that sense. So you're like, I'm not putting out
00:40:43.400
something unless it's perfect to me. You're all sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Going to have to redo it.
00:40:49.300
Going to have to retake it. Yeah. Are you like, uh, are you someone who jots lyrics down? Like
00:40:53.940
as they come to you, are you someone who kind of like dedicates time? You're like, okay, this time
00:40:58.080
I'm going to write for however many hours. Or as soon as something comes to you, do you like put it
00:41:02.020
in a notes app or anything like that? Um, usually yes. I put it on a voice memo app and, um, usually
00:41:08.540
during drives, I don't know why, but like when it's just like silent, no music playing and it's
00:41:14.920
just like, you know, I don't drive, but I have, I have someone that drives me. Um, I would just like
00:41:22.140
lyrics would pop up or like melodies. So I would just like record it. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Or showers.
00:41:27.980
Oh, yeah. It's like when you're alone and you're real in the think tank. Yeah. You're really thinking
00:41:33.240
about it. What do you do when you have writer's block? Writer's block. Is that when like, when
00:41:38.280
you like, basically you don't know what to write? Yeah. You're kind of struggling to write more.
00:41:42.020
Like you've written some and they're like, Oh, I need new songs or whatever. I don't think I've had
00:41:45.700
that experience yet. Actually. Yeah. Because like, I just have so many, so many stories to tell. And I feel
00:41:51.700
like an album is not even enough for me to tell everything. There's so many. Did you have to
00:41:57.760
cut back at all as far as like how many tracks you wrote? Um, yes, I, I am still writing still,
00:42:04.060
but like, I already have like solid songs. I think that will absolutely make it. Oh,
00:42:09.560
damn. Look at you. Yeah. I have so many songs on that album. Literally. If I could just put 30
00:42:13.720
songs in there, I would. But, um, I think there's going to be like 12 to 14 songs. Okay. Yeah.
00:42:19.500
Look, I'm getting all the details for you guys. Make sure you're taking notes. Obviously I am.
00:42:23.940
I am in there guys. I'm, I'm on the ground floor right now. Okay. We're going to actually do a bonus
00:42:29.320
segment if that's okay with you. And this is a new one from my producer, Amanda, and it's called
00:42:34.940
movie villain quote or TikTok hate comment. So we're going to guess, Bella's going to guess
00:42:41.860
whether or not these things are a quote from a movie villain or a TikTok hate comment. Cause obviously
00:42:47.800
all the trolls on TikTok are obviously movie villains too. It's all one in the same. Okay.
00:42:54.320
Okay. Here's the first one. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and
00:42:59.500
thinking. TikTok hate comment. That's actually a movie villain. Wait, what? Yeah. Can you believe it?
00:43:06.420
And guess from where? Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Can you believe that? Oh, Gaston. Of course it is
00:43:11.680
Gaston. Why did I actually knew that? Cause honestly, I would believe if that was a fucking
00:43:19.360
TikTok hate comment, obviously I'm sure I've gotten that one to be honest. Actually, you know,
00:43:23.780
what's crazy is I can think of a video right now. Cause I'm a Virgo and I remember everything.
00:43:27.540
I can literally think of a video of a guy right now who was saying this exact thing. He said,
00:43:31.820
the reason why women are so disagreeable these days is because they're going to school and they're
00:43:34.860
learning too much. Oh, wow. Love that. A real life Gaston. That's probably Gaston himself.
00:43:40.920
I know literally Gaston if he had a TikTok. Dude, Gaston would be the worst on TikTok.
00:43:46.280
Oh yeah. You know what's funnier is that the men on TikTok who are evil, they think they're built
00:43:49.820
like Gaston and they're not. They're built like his gay little friend. What's his gay friend's
00:43:54.820
name? LeFou or whatever the fuck. Yeah. That's who you are. You're not Gaston. You're that guy.
00:44:02.040
Just so you know. Okay. I was like, what the fuck was I talking about? Um, next one. Don't allow
00:44:08.020
girls to be your friend. You got to keep it. Got to keep cold bucko. I'm really upset that you put
00:44:15.240
that one in here. Cause that's so corn ball. I feel like that's a Disney villain. No, it's a TikTok
00:44:21.200
comment. That's crazy. Wait, what? Wait, what's bucko? Yeah. They're talking like a fucking cartoon
00:44:28.280
villain. What's a bucko? Bucko. It's like, it's like a, you're not knowing how to explain what the
00:44:34.680
fuck that is. It's like a pet name. Like if someone's like champ, right? They call you like
00:44:39.120
a name. That's not your name. And they chose bucko. The way it's funny. Cause you're like,
00:44:42.540
I don't understand that. I don't get that. Me either, Bella. If that makes you feel any better,
00:44:49.460
I don't get that either. Don't allow girls to be your friend. Got to keep cold bucko. Bucko.
00:44:55.900
What are you? A thousand years old. Oh my God. If someone wrote bucko on my, I'm pissed off. I'm angry
00:45:02.500
actually. Okay. This next one is damn. I'm really bad at this by the way. That's honestly
00:45:08.200
not your fault. I honestly shocked. If I heard got to keep cold bucko, I would have guessed a
00:45:14.020
movie villain too. Okay. This next one is society has turned its back on intelligence. I would guess
00:45:20.420
a TikTok hate comment. It's a villain. You know what, Bella? It's the opposite of whatever you think
00:45:25.860
every time. I would have guessed a hate comment too, to be honest. The men who try to write
00:45:33.020
shit like that on my videos, they're always like, um, I just imagine they're pushing up
00:45:37.480
their glasses. Like another thing, by the way, fucking dork. Get out of here before I give
00:45:43.760
you a wedgie. That's how I feel. Wait, so what movie? It says it's a villain from the Riddler,
00:45:49.980
the Riddler from Batman forever. Oh, when I was in college, once we did group costumes for Halloween.
00:45:56.100
And we were Batman villains and I was Bane. And I remember I ordered the Bane mask and then just
00:46:02.400
wore fucking nothing after that. Cause you know, in college, that's what you do. You wear a mask
00:46:07.200
and then lingerie. And so I wore something similar to that with the Bane mask, but honestly, I thought
00:46:11.820
I killed it. However, I was so drunk like that night. Relax. It's fine. I was so drunk that night that
00:46:19.580
I lost an eyelash and I had no idea the whole, took pictures all night. Then the next morning
00:46:25.620
I was like looking at my pictures. I was like, Oh my God, I have to post. And I go look at my
00:46:29.100
pictures. I go. You go one eyelash. Literally one. And it's so obvious. Cause I was wearing a giant
00:46:34.220
one. So it's like one left completely missing. Had a blast though. But one of my friends was the
00:46:39.480
Riddler and, um, she's from Brazil. So she's like born and raised in Brazil and then moved to America.
00:46:44.600
And she kept calling it the question master. And I was like, that's not his name. He's
00:46:48.940
the Riddler. I've never seen Batman. So I don't know what the Riddler looks like. Yeah. It's just
00:46:52.940
a, it's a guy in a green suit with a bunch of question marks on it. Like it's very, that's
00:46:58.300
so that's why she called it that. Yeah. She kept playing. I'm question master. She kept saying
00:47:02.240
it. I was like, it's the rip. It's fine. It doesn't matter. We're all drunk. It doesn't matter.
00:47:07.580
Okay. This one is there is no good in evil. There's only power and those too weak to seek it.
00:47:12.940
That sounds like a villain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got it. You got one Bella. You got it. There
00:47:18.040
you go. Yeah. That's from Voldemort from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which is the best
00:47:24.540
Harry Potter. Mind you. Do you like Harry Potter? Um, I'm not like, so it's like super fan, but like
00:47:31.220
I was more of a Lord of the Rings. I'm not like a fucking dork. You know, it was like Lord of the
00:47:36.060
movies. Yes. Yes. Girl Legolas. Are you kidding me? If you ever see this, I know Legolas is
00:47:43.360
a big fan of the show. Not like, um, what's, what's his name? The, the person playing the
00:47:48.540
character. Orlando Bloom. Yeah. Not Orlando Bloom, but like just like the actual, like from
00:47:52.960
the book. Yeah. The actual, the actual character. Yes. Okay. Tea. You like that bleach blonde
00:47:58.760
hair. Yes. Period. Look at that platinum. The ears too. You got to have the ears. Yes.
00:48:05.560
Obviously. Have you read the Akatar books? I think, um, I'll add you to my book club, Bella.
00:48:10.200
Someone actually, um, recommended it. Someone recommended it to you? Yes. You should. You
00:48:14.720
should read it. I actually have the first book and I was reading it. Oh, okay. So you do
00:48:19.960
know that? In the airport. I did not read anything about it. Um, my friend Chloe, Chloe Kim,
00:48:26.540
she's like, here, here's a book. Yeah. You should read it. And I didn't read anything
00:48:31.460
about it. Like, so you had no way of knowing what was going to happen. Oh yeah. And, um,
00:48:35.980
it was. Yeah. Dick and cock and balls. You know what I mean? It was really spicy and I
00:48:40.320
had to stop reading it cause I just thought everybody was looking at me. Are you feeling
00:48:45.020
humiliated? That's real. I can't read this in public. So you got to get a Kindle. That way
00:48:51.620
they have no idea what you're reading. You said I could be reading Mel Robbins on this thing,
00:48:55.060
but you have no idea. Do you? I could be reading bell hooks, but guess what I'm reading? Very
00:48:59.340
smart. Yeah, exactly. You know how I found those books because someone compared me and
00:49:06.440
my fiance to a couple in those books. And so I was like, I got to look this up because
00:49:11.900
I was unfamiliar and I was like, I want to make sure this isn't mean. So I went and like
00:49:16.780
looked it up and I was like, damn, cause the, the shit gets real graphic. And I did not know
00:49:21.980
that. Same thing. I had no clue way of knowing, but I was reading like a cliff notes version
00:49:25.840
of it. I wasn't like reading the actual book. And I remember thinking they were just like,
00:49:30.160
I thought it was just medieval times kind of deal. And then at one point when I was reading
00:49:34.000
one of the scenes when they're like getting busy, there's like, and then his wings went
00:49:37.860
up. I said, hold on wings. What the fuck? And then I literally, I literally went and Googled
00:49:43.420
everything. Cause I was like, fuck you mean this man has wings. And I had to look it up and
00:49:47.920
jokes on me. I read them all. So there you go. And yeah, I've read them all. Is that
00:49:52.560
what you want to hear? Sure. Damn. This hood does not want to stay on my head. I haven't
00:49:56.900
even finished the first one. So you got to, you got to get into it Bella. I think you'll
00:50:01.080
like it. If you like, like this, I'm telling you, I mean the story's not as good as Lord
00:50:04.400
of the Rings, but the vibes are what you're looking for. Okay. We'll do one more. Here we
00:50:08.780
go. Give me a hard one. Okay. I'll give you a hard one. Okay. This one is women's needs
00:50:14.620
are a bottomless. Well, a villain. No, it's a Tik TOK comment. That's why I said that
00:50:21.560
one's hard. That's why I said that one's fucking hard. I would have guessed a villain too. Fucking
00:50:26.340
Shakespeare over here. Shit pisses me off. Women's needs are a bottomless. Well, someone
00:50:31.260
actually commented that actually wrote that out on someone's a hate video. I asked her
00:50:37.040
where she got them from. She's like, just random hate videos. There's no shortage of them
00:50:42.720
on that fucking app. So especially about you and me. So that's, that's fucking nuts.
00:50:48.440
Did you have fun playing that game, Bella? Yes, it was really fun. Thank you. Everyone
00:50:51.660
say thank you, Amanda, for the new segment. We love her. Okay. Wait, this is the first
00:50:56.680
one? That's the first time we've ever done that segment. Wow. Look at you. You're so
00:50:59.940
special. And I sucked at it though. It's okay. We had fun. That's all that matters. Yes.
00:51:06.280
But I would love to, uh, just to kind of, kind of wrap us up with a nice pretty little bow. Um,
00:51:12.620
what would you say you're most excited for people to hopefully experience or like take away from the
00:51:19.640
album? Um, I'm most excited about like, honestly, when, when you listen to my songs, I just want you to
00:51:29.200
feel something. And, um, yeah, like most of the songs are going to be a little sad lyrically,
00:51:35.360
but the production is going to be like, you know, a little more sweeter. And I feel like that's why
00:51:42.580
like sweet delusion is like a good introduction to that. It's like the first single that's coming
00:51:47.120
from like the album because it's both like lyrically sad. Yeah. But the production's like
00:51:54.400
hopeful and sweet. Love. Um, yeah, actually that's why I dressed up as corpse bride. That's
00:51:59.560
actually such a good point. Yeah. Yeah. Because, um, yeah, it's like bittersweet because you know
00:52:05.100
how like Emily from the corpse bride, like she didn't end up with, what's his name? Victor. Yeah.
00:52:09.560
The, yeah. The guy that she initially thought she was going to marry. Yeah. Um, she was like,
00:52:13.840
you know what? I don't need a man. Yeah. Period. You can go. And period, Emily. And period.
00:52:20.140
She got stabbed in the stomach for that guy. Yeah. Period. We love that. Oh,
00:52:24.240
I love that. That's so, um, that's so beautiful. And I'm, I'm so excited for you. And I would love
00:52:29.160
to ask you one more question as far as like advice goes, like, what would you say is your
00:52:33.580
best piece of advice for people who are maybe pursuing music or want to, and they're excited,
00:52:38.540
but maybe they feel like you said, really nervous, or they feel afraid of being perceived and someone
00:52:43.420
like you who are naturally are very shy, but you've been able to like push through that for the sake of
00:52:47.860
your art, which I commend you for. It's very hard to do, especially on the internet. Um, what would you say
00:52:52.780
is your best piece of advice for people who are maybe a little afraid? I mean, I used to be afraid.
00:52:57.780
So like, if you're scared right now, like, I feel like if you really want to pursue it, you should
00:53:04.680
go for it. Cause you know, like it's what you want to do. You know, you, you want to be able to live
00:53:10.860
your dream. Like I used to think there's no way I'm going to be an artist. Like there's no way,
00:53:15.820
but here I am now like putting out my album soon. So debut album. Yeah. So, um, exciting. Yeah. And
00:53:23.620
there's a lot of, there's going to be a lot of things that's going to happen, like negative things
00:53:28.140
like, Oh, maybe like, you know, like maybe your label or something like producers, you know, people
00:53:35.120
you meet, sometimes they're shitty and that shouldn't stop you. Honestly, just do what you want.
00:53:40.720
Do you think? Amen. And it's like, I think that's like a Charlie XCX quote where she says
00:53:44.500
they don't make statues of critics. So period bitch. Art makes the world go round and the
00:53:49.360
art and your art deserves to be heard. And I feel that way about you. And I'm very excited
00:53:54.920
for you and I'm very happy and I'm very proud of you. I just met you, but I'm very proud
00:53:58.840
of you for pushing through that. That shit's hard. And like the way that you were being perceived
00:54:03.100
online too is not many people could survive that. So I commend you greatly for continuing
00:54:08.740
to go and push out your art because the world needs to hear it. And I'm very excited.
00:54:12.140

00:56:26.560
is perfect because then you could just hop right on over to Bella's discography, if you

00:56:36.960
Inferno for those of you that are looking into her. So thank you so much again for coming on
