Nasa digital billboard ng Amazon Music sa Times Square, New York City si James Reid dahil sa success ng kanyang single na Crazy kung saan pumapalo raw ang kanyang musika sa Tate.
Proud namang tweet ni James, “We up in NYC again… @amazonmusic #CRAZY.”
Pero, sa kabila ng suporta ng mga fans, tila may mga netizens na hindi naniniwala sa kakayahan ni James as a singer at may nagparatang pa na nagbayad umano ang aktor para malagay ang name niya sa Amazon billboard.
Komento ng mga ito: “Why don’t you tell us how much you paid for it too?”
“Uy ‘pag inggit, pikit. Kita mo naman, Amazon music ‘yan, oh.”
“You should be aware that everything when it comes to things like these are paid.”
“Suki ng NYC billboard si James. Pinoy pride!”
“‘Di pa rin ba s’ya napapansin?”
“Easy to book for the billboard now ‘coz of pandemic. He’s hoping he’ll get some projects out of this. Malaking budget ‘yan, ha.”
“Sana magka-career ulit.”
“Next billboard na ni Kimmy d’yan ‘bawal lumabas.’”
“Just like Nadine with the Spotify. He’s not the only one in that billboard. It’s part of Amazon music Asian mixtape category. It’s all hype pero waley naman din.”
“Hay naku, kahit sa Mars rover ka pa mag-appear, laos ka na!”
“‘Di ba sa mga KPOP, ‘yan ang hilig nila? Nagpapaganyan lalo kapag b-day ng idol nila… Baka iba ba ‘yan? ‘Di ba ‘yan ‘yung paid ads?”
“Sila ba ang nagbayad n’yan or Amazon? If sila, sana mabawi.”
“Amazon won't lend its name and pay for the ad of a product they don't believe in.”
“Why can’t we be proud of our kababayan if they have something like this (gaano man kaliit) internationally?!”
Oo nga naman.
