No Talent, No Problem
Bibi made a song called How It Is
and it was the kind of bad that unites everyone in a room. Not entertainingly bad—just incompetent. The vocals are weak, the production is cheap, and it sounds like someone who thought confidence could make up for having no skill. Even people who usually defended her online kind of stepped back from this one. You know those moments when something is so objectively wrong that criticism becomes automatic, like pointing at a color and saying that’s red.
Then she released a video where she met Miley Cyrus in New York, which is where it gets interesting. Miley was professional about it, smiled and posed like you’re supposed to when someone’s manager tells you to be nice to them. But you could see in her face the exact moment she realized she had no idea who Bibi was. It’s a specific look that famous people get—politeness covering a blank space.
What stuck with me after watching it was the gap. Bibi can’t sing. The song proved that pretty thoroughly. But she met Miley Cyrus anyway. She’s famous in Germany, has thousands of followers, makes videos, gets opportunities with actual musicians. None of that has anything to do with her being able to do what she’s supposedly doing.
The comments were rough—people saying she should learn to sing before she tries anything else, that she didn’t deserve the video, that she was talentless. But none of it mattered. She’s past the point where any of that touches her. She’s already at the level where she gets to be in videos with famous people, regardless of whether she’s actually good at anything. The internet decided she was worth watching, and once that decision gets made, talent becomes almost irrelevant. She just keeps going and it keeps working.
