YouTube сувгаар алдаршсан хөгжим шүүмжлэгч Anthony Fantano болон дуучин Halsey нарын хооронд ням гарагт цахим орчинд ширүүн маргаан өрнөв.
Маргаан нь Anthony Fantano-гийн Olivia Rodrigo-той хийсэн ярилцлага болон түүний эмэгтэй поп уран бүтээлчдийн бүтээлийг үнэлэх арга барилыг шүүмжилснээс эхлэлтэй. Тодруулбал, Halsey-ийн 2024 онд гаргасан “The Great Impersonator” цомогт Anthony Fantano 10 онооноос 1 оноо өгсөн нь шүтэн бишрэгчдийн дургүйцлийг хүргэж байсан юм. Ням гарагт нэгэн хэрэглэгч уг цомгийн шүүмжийн талаар жиргэсний дараа Anthony Fantano хариу тайлбар бичсэн нь дуучин Halsey-г ийнхүү байр сууриа илэрхийлэхэд хүргэжээ.
Halsey өөрийн цахим хуудсаар дамжуулан Anthony Fantano-г “4-chan”-аас гаралтай дээрэлхүү нэгэн хэмээн тодорхойлж, түүний шүүмжлэлийг хүндэтгэлгүй гэж үзэв. Тэрээр өөрийн цомогт эрүүл мэндийн асуудлынхаа талаар үнэнчээр өгүүлснийг “гоц гойд зан” (main character syndrome) хэмээн нэрлэснийг нь буруушааж, энэ нь өвчин шаналалтай байгаа эмэгтэйчүүдийн дуу хоолойг үгүйсгэсэн үйлдэл боллоо гэж мэдэгдсэн юм.
Anthony Fantano уг үйл явдлын хариуд дуучныг өөрийнх нь анхааралд өртсөнд баяртай байгаагаа илэрхийлснээс өөр тайлбар хийгээгүй байна. Anthony Fantano нь өмнө нь Halsey-ийн 2021 оны “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power” цомогт 10 онооноос 6 оноо өгч байсан бөгөөд тэрээр Drake, Grimes зэрэг олон уран бүтээлчтэй шүүмжээс нь үүдэн маргалдаж байсан түүхтэй.

Halsey let loose on Anthony Fantano on Sunday night, describing the popular YouTube music critic as an “4-chan raised edgelord bully” and suggesting that her “least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be.”
Fantano, who runs the YouTube channel The Needle Drop and is the self-described “internet’s busiest music nerd,” has become, somewhat unwillingly, embroiled in “stan Twitter wars” after his interview with Olivia Rodrigo. Many people on social media take issue with the critic over what they think is Fantano’s 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’s 2024 album The Great Impersonator, which he awarded a “decent 1” out of 10.
After taking shots from all comers for much of the weekend, Halsey then weighed in. Sunday night’s back and forth started after X user @NotRealMusic tweeted, “I didn’t really agree with how Fantano approached some aspects of his Halsey review but I can’t understand how there’s still discourse about it all this time later. It’s not like it’s some great album… how are people still hung up over it.”
Fantano quote tweeted, “if they’re more into the review than the album 🤭.”
At which point Halsey jumped into the fray. Quote tweeting Fantano, the singer wrote, “I’m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be.
“Everything you say is more “whiny” and “edgy” than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo,” she tweeted, a pointed reference to Fantano’s withering but reasoned review of The Great Impersonator, in which the critic described Halsey’s record of having “the worst case of ‘main character syndrome’ I’ve heard on any pop album in 2024.”
Fantano shot back to Halsey, “flattered to be on your radar, queen 🙌.” But then the singer continued her rant into the late night.
“Who cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it’s “main character syndrome” for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life,” Halsey wrote. “[Fantano is] a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.”
She continued, “Being a woman dealing with serious health issues often means being afraid of telling the truth about the pain you’re in because you’re afraid of not being believed or seeming attention seeking. He validated that fear to thousands of women.”
The “Without Me” singer concluded what she had to say by simply tweeting, “That’s all and good luck to this man!”
For context, Fantano also reviewed Halsey’s 2021 album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which he described as having some of the singer’s “best work ever,” ultimately awarding the album a score of “a light 6” out of 10, which is fairly decent given his exacting standards.
The 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.
