What did Charli XCX say about criticism of Glastonbury set?
Charli XCX dismissed the negative reviews of her Glastonbury set via social media.
The notion that using deliberate autotune in your singing or not having a traditional band makes you inauthentic as an artist is the most uninteresting perspective I’ve ever heard. It’s so dull, it puts me to sleep.” The Brat artist expressed this on X (Twitter) with a yawn and kisses.
The notion that intentionally using auto-tune in your singing implies you’re inauthentic or that lacking a conventional band automatically disqualifies you as a genuine artist is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Zzz, I almost nodded off just thinking about it. xx

Charli XCX’s recent post on X sparked a variety of responses. Some people sided with and praised the pop artist, while others voiced their criticism towards her.
Disregard those comments, young lady; you’re aware that many fan communities often show resentment towards other successful female pop stars,” the fan posted on X.
“they might not understand your artistry, but all of us angels do,” another fan added.
“Love you charli !! Every album you made is a masterpiece,” one fan posted.
Apparently, someone suggested that you’re pretending to be something you’re not, sister, due to the heavy use of auto-tune in your recordings. They claim that this has revealed your true, less appealing vocal quality.
“Fraud XCX,” another fan commented.
In response to further comments, the artist acknowledged that she found the conversation about her work intriguing. She emphasized that great art often sparks debate and conflict, leading to more engaging cultural discourse, rather than being bland and easily forgotten.
Frankly speaking, I find the discussions quite intriguing. In my opinion, the most impactful art is provocative and challenging, leading to deep conversations and shaping unique cultures, rather than being mildly acceptable, straightforward, and quickly forgotten.
