Luz Roja filled that nebulous desire for MORE in my heart that Red Light left when it first came out.

There are people here on tumblr who think that Omar feeds edmaries himself. As if being affectionate with male friends without crossing lines is a foreign concept for this fandom and as if it gives people a permission to be dicks towards Felicia.

There are probably people in this fandom on all platforms who think that. I haven’t seen it much here, but I’m not very online these days. One big difference is that *he* is on twitter a lot and they know (and hope?) he’ll see it. If someone wants to be delusional on tumblr, I’d say that’s more along the lines of writing in your diary as far as Omar is concerned…

In any case, once he feels he has to comment, lines have definitely been crossed.

Jaysus. omartwt actually made him come out and slap their wrists. These people need to embrace not letting their neuroses hang out for all to see.

They’re not even clever with it. You can make anyone look a certain way with the right shitty screenshots. They need to find a new healthier hobby.

This is such a cool fucking photo. The setting, the composition, the b&w. Absolute art.

Re: Ballads

One detail my brain latched onto in the Q+ interview was when Omar mentioned that people like it when he sings ballads and he sort of shrugged and went “and I’m like ’okay’” like he was confused or amused.

And I thought, well, there is a reason why people say that. Yes, ballads are great and a lot of people like them in their own right, but for Omar specifically, there is a very obvious reason why people love his ballads and that’s his vocals. His vocal quality is so insanely good and a ballad is the perfect canvas to showcase his abilities. I’m absolutely one of the people who go “yay!!!” when he does a ballad. I’m a sucker for those money notes, what I call the Mariah Carey moment. You don’t usually get that with an uptempo song. And I love his dance songs as well, but a ballad lets his vocals shine.

Let’s be honest, there are pop artists who make good, fun music but are okay singers. And that’s fine. A good tune is a good tune.

But if you have the goods to back it up, people want to hear it. I want to hear it. And everyone knows this is true for Omar. It was true from the beginning. Listen to the old FOOO stuff. There’s a powerful note to hit, an impressive vocal run? Cue Omar. He simply has that vocal ability. ♥️

This was such a great interview and hearing him speak Spanish is always a joy. Thank you, past me, for choosing Spanish over French. Well done, babe!!!
