(Before I start, I’ve been a fan since The Voice era in 2013 when I was 13, I’m 24 now)

We are very grateful that our favorite singer gives us unique merch and unique concert experiences, plus relatable boppers!!!

HOWEVER

We are not grateful for those merch prices not matching the quality we’re receiving ($200 for perfumes most fans didn’t like? $275 for a dress that rips? $75 for a single candle the size of your palm that melts in transit with no form of refund or replacement? Etc). We are not grateful that Mel can get away with ripping off the very fans that made her rich enough to live in a mansion, visit Hawaii multiple times a year just to write, have a personal driver, buy fashion and jewlery worth more than our wardrobes combined, goes out to eat multiple times a day at nice restaurants, etc. While we are working class barely scraping by; some of us live in Section 8, some are on food stamps, some can’t even afford tampons. Some of us work 40 hours a week at a job that’s so physically and mentally taxing that we don’t have a life anymore outside of work, and STILL can barely afford to live.

We are not grateful for barely 0 fan interaction anymore. Many people were upset that Melanie doesn’t acknowledge us in concert besides a quick thank you before trotting off. She even didn’t bother to show up to take pics with fans when Portals first came out when IT WAS SAID SHE’D TAKE PICS IN THE AD (her green screen pics with fans). Which the fans paid extra for??? Just for her to not actually show up????? And her Insta is just one large promotion now, when before she used to thank us for everything we do for her and gave us a glimpse into the lavish life we give her with our hard earned money.

We are not grateful for just being her piggy bank with no human emotions to her nowadays. We are just a money grab so she can relax for another 4 years straight without a peep from her while she “makes more music”….in 4 years time.

And we just eat it up and think that’s all normal for her to treat us this way. Thats not normal

What the f*ck?
