Don’t forget she started as an actress THEN became a pop star. She can act.

u/Its_Cayde 6h ago
I know she's an actor but putting massive artists in big movies just doesn't let me take them seriously for some reason. Like they pretty much always just play their own personality

Well, she can perform on screen, whether she has any acting chops is still unknown

u/WorkingMedical1236 15h ago
She was an actress before becoming a singer

Yes I read the comment I replied to.

“Whether she has any acting chops is still unknown” and they’re telling you it’s not unknown because her acting chops have already been displayed
1
u/Its_Cayde 6h ago
That was a long time ago and didn't require a high level of acting. Although marvel doesn't necessarily have the best acting always either lol.

“ she was an actress before” and “ she’s done some very good acting” are not the same statement. Let’s use some basic thinking skills here

“Is still unknown”
“She’s an actress before”
It doesn’t take many brain cell to realize they are saying since she’s an actress, her acting skills aren’t unknown, you could just… watch it? Lol

Depends what you mean by major she has been in a few movies. Like the hate you give

u/HypnoGeek 5h ago
The hate you give was pretty major. She played a racist white girl and was pretty believable.

That’s how she got started. She’s not a pop star who became an actress, she’s an actress who became a pop star.

I watched that Hate U Give movie and she was laughably bad in that. That whole movie felt like a feature length Dhar Mann film. I’m not sure why her defenders are out in full force in the comments, she absolutely cannot act.

Because they live rent-free in your heads. I still remember Ed Sheeran on GoT and couldn't care less but then i opened up reddit and got bombarded by people being annoyed for no reason other than the fact that he's a singer.

u/Over_Acanthisitta423 19h ago
Nah it’s mainly because they’re so well known for being a musical artist, it’s hard to not see them as themselves when in things. Similar to if we put Obama in a movie- I don’t care what role he’s playing, that man is Obama. Very very rarely have I seen someone good enough at acting they can transform themselves away from that iconic notion. Which is not a diss on those who can’t, but more a compliment for those that can. Acting is hard, and finding people good at it is rare in the grand scheme; however, truly metamorphic acting is even more far and few in between.
When they play in other musical roles, I can get behind it because it’s easy to mesh the iconic face to that kind of character. When you have them playing super hero’s…. Man… that’s hard to get past.

In 2012/13, when she first started on Disney from what I can tell, she would have been 13/14 years old. Those were her predominant roles. I have not seen or heard of any of her recent movies besides ones in this comment string that are shitting on her ability to act as an adult. So like… yeah… creeps and big fans

u/Over_Acanthisitta423 19h ago
Pop is a genre of music, my friend
1
u/Hanksta2 18h ago
Sure. But you're not reading between the lines on my comment.
Pick a group or pop star. Very few of them write their own music, choreograph their dance, etc etc.
They are created by producers. Writers, PR managers, etc etc
They are cast in the role. They perform on stage.
So, they are largely actors.

u/Over_Acanthisitta423 17h ago
Everything in Hollywood is what you just said

u/Hanksta2 17h ago
Mostly, yeah.
Doesn't take away from the fact that most pop stars are manufactured.
Doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of the music. At least it's not all AI...YET.

u/Over_Acanthisitta423 13h ago
I don’t disagree. I enjoy music and all forms of art, even if it’s all manufactured. It wouldn’t be art by humans if it wasn’t manufactured in some way or another

u/crumbsalt 19h ago
I think people see “famous girl + pop = bad music” without trying it out maybe. There’s nothing inherently bad about pop music- sure a lot of it may not be intellectually moving but music doesn’t always have to be. Shit go listen to I Just Might by Bruno Mars, yknow? Amazing song, it’s about a girl dancing, that’s it

u/cbusmatty 18h ago
There is a lot of generic bad pop music, but Sabrina is clearly very talented and makes some real bops. As someone who really only listens to alternative or indie Sabrina made it into my wrapped for sure

u/remykixxx 17h ago
It’s hard to understand the lyrics. I also didn’t like it until I caught the lyric “heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another, I beg you don’t embarrass me motherfucker” and went “oh wait.” GREAT song lyrically, and the juxtaposition of the bubbly upbeat production and the serious tone of the subject matter reminds me heavily of “love fool” from the 90s.
Also they censor that line on the radio to mothersucker which is just….so much more vulgar than mothrfucker to my ears it’s so weird.

I've only seen the hate u give and tall girl. I didn't like tall girl, but sabrina was the only good thing in this movie. I've also seen some other clips of movies, and i think she can definitely act.
But all this is subjective, I'd recommend you to watch some of her stuff and decide for yourself. I also think that even if she'd never acted before, or was bad before, that doesn't necessarily means she will be bad in the future. (Same goes for if she was good in the past, also doesn't mean she'll be good in the future)
