Celeb News: Reviewer drags G-Eazy, praises 5H + Tove

Tove Lo, Fifth Harmony, Backstreet lead Jingle Ball Class of 2016

Most Likely to Succeed: A holdover from last year’s Ball, Swedish singer Tove Lo — writer of Elle Goulding’s hit “Love Me Like You Do” — turned in this year’s most promising, forward-leaning set. The songs from her new album balanced cool electronic grooves with sharp hooks and a sly but sophisticated edge. Think: Taylor Swift with Daft Punk in hot pink rocker pants.

Class Presidents: After prior Jingle Ball appearances, the women of Fifth Harmony proved deserving of the headlining slot Monday. The “X Factor”-reared vocal quintet harked back to the Spice Girls’ and Destiny’s Child’s playful dance routines and girl-power attitude, but with modernized grooves. When they piped in Fetty Wap’s recorded vocals “All in My Head (Flex),” it was doubtful the colorful rapper would’ve even been noticed.

Should’ve Stayed in Chess Club: Los Angeles singer/“rapper” Gnash, 25, came off hopelessly awkward and pipsqueaky early in the set.

Hailee Steinfeld had her dance moves and cool style down pat, and she showed off a meaningful, upbeat anthem with “Love Myself.”

G-Eazy — the actual rap star on the lineup — was pathetic. California’s atonal, formulaic “Me, Myself & I” hitmaker phoned in a weirdly short set despite going on third-to-last. The good news: He only had time to drop in one song about sleeping with his friend’s girlfriend.

He hasn't reached Iggy levels of irrelevancy yet.

Stitches.

Poor Gerald

At least Tove got another acclaim

He never even reached Iggy's level of relevancy to start with

Iggy only has three hits (Fancy, Problem and Black Widow). Whereas G-Eazy has Me Myself & I, You & Me, Make Me... and You Don't Own Me. G-Eazy has had much better longevity too.

The 5H praise

O5HHs are fuming

I'm not sure if you're serious?

Anyways, moving on. I don't even like this Iggy, so I'm not dragging this more off-topic.

G Eazy wasn't that bad. That exaggeration.

Kii

Iggy ALWAYS is on your mind, huh? Always running into threads to "shade" her when the threads don't have anything to do with her.

G Eazy will never match Iggy's peak. Accept it, and spin on it.

What's with the G-Eazy backlash all of a sudden? Can someone fill me in?

The only important thing here is Tove garnering critical acclaim yet again

She really can't lose tbh
