Agree so much Jamie. Their stupid App show is an embarrassment. This is so derivative and lame, yet it’s tough to imagine it would be a bigger bomb than the apps show. Apple should give money to real artists and producers to make good content and learn from the pros.
Honestly, I could give two ***** about this or the ‘artists’ featured. Lame. Beyond lame. Bring me the head of Eddie Cue.
