Many people on social media take issue with the critic over what they think is Fantano\u2019s supposed bias towards female pop artists, and slammed Rodrigo for agreeing to the interview. Halsey fans in particular have long disliked Fantano since his review of the Grammy-nominated singer\u2019s 2024 album <em>The Great Impersonator<\/em>, which he awarded a \u201cdecent 1\u201d out of 10. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter taking shots from all comers for much of the weekend, Halsey then weighed in. Sunday night\u2019s back and forth started after X user @NotRealMusic tweeted, \u201cI didn\u2019t really agree with how Fantano approached some aspects of his Halsey review but I can\u2019t understand how there\u2019s still discourse about it all this time later. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s some great album\u2026 how are people still hung up over it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFantano quote tweeted, \u201cif they\u2019re more into the review than the album \ud83e\udd2d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAt which point Halsey jumped into the fray. Quote tweeting Fantano, the singer wrote, \u201cI\u2019m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cEverything you say is more \u201cwhiny\u201d and \u201cedgy\u201d than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo,\u201d she tweeted, a pointed reference to Fantano\u2019s withering but reasoned review of <em>The Great Impersonator<\/em>, in which the critic described Halsey\u2019s record of having \u201cthe worst case of \u2018main character syndrome\u2019 I\u2019ve heard on any pop album in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFantano shot back to Halsey, \u201cflattered to be on your radar, queen \ud83d\ude4c.\u201d But then the singer continued her rant into the late night.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2223\">\u2018Love Island USA\u2019 Season 8 Casa Amor Cast Revealed (Updating)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWho cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it\u2019s \u201cmain character syndrome\u201d for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life,\u201d Halsey wrote. \u201c[Fantano is] a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tShe continued, \u201cBeing a woman dealing with serious health issues often means being afraid of telling the truth about the pain you\u2019re in because you\u2019re afraid of not being believed or seeming attention seeking. He validated that fear to thousands of women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe \u201cWithout Me\u201d singer concluded what she had to say by simply tweeting, \u201cThat\u2019s all and good luck to this man!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor context, Fantano also reviewed Halsey\u2019s 2021 album,<em> If I Can\u2019t Have Love, I Want Power<\/em>, which he described as having some of the singer\u2019s \u201cbest work ever,\u201d ultimately awarding the album a score of \u201ca light 6\u201d out of 10, which is fairly decent given his exacting standards.  <\/p>\n<p>\nThe music critic has had a number of feuds with artists over the years, most famously with Drake, and most recently with Grimes earlier this year. Others to spar with Fantano over his album scores over the years include Logic, Lil Xan, Post Malone, Ronnie Radke, Wale, MGK, Yung Lean, Lil Yachty, Killer Mike, and Tyler, the Creator. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2221\">Aubrey Plaza Says Her Animated Series \u2018Kevin\u2019 Has Been Canceled at Amazon\u2019s Prime Video<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halsey let loose on Anthony Fantano on Sunday night, describing the popular YouTube music critic as an &quot;4-chan raised edgelord bully.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1833,1834],"class_list":["post-2227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-anthony-fantano","tag-halsey"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
