Top Comments of this video!! :3
It’s interesting to me how many criticizing comments there are here (from English speakers) about not being able to understand the lyrics. I think this says more about the listener (and maybe the norms of the forum) than the artist. While I recognize the desire to comprehend what’s being communicated, I encourage people to consider that it’s not necessarily the intent of the artist to be effortlessly understood in a way that’s immediately convenient to the way we understand the same general language. ...that sometimes it takes more effort than we’re used to connect with creative expression. ...that sometimes we as an audience won’t understand things in the way in which we expect. ...and that this is okay. Maybe it’s the freedom of expression on the side of the artist, and a corresponding effort on the side of the audience to try harder to understand, which makes room for a valuable connection that lies beyond the convenience of immediate recognition. 🙏🏽

I'm really disappointed in the hate she's receiving in the comments. Miss Universe is an amazing album and I don't think I could love any album more than it in 2019. I didn't find it harder to appreciate her music just because I couldn't initially understand some lyrics. Honestly, it sounds more to me like a stylistic choice (which other musicians also employ) that she only started playing up on in her first album and it was a refreshing and daring choice for a debut, worthy of appreciation. I mean if it isn't for you, I get it but don't talk like she doesn't know what she's doing as an artist "mumbling her words" because, from the directions she took with her album, I'm sure she knows exactly what she's doing.

She's incredible. Not only is she playing rhythm AND lead, but she's singing as well. Miss Universe rules, Nilufer rules, and that is all.
