Gerald Dean (@Loser_Pot_tard) reported@PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.

Davy Anonymous (@davy_anonymous) reported@apinionsvary We need to bring back public executions. I'd be glad to pull the lever or the trigger myself. In fact, we could have an auction for the privilege. The state would save ton of money on housing them and make a profit from the auction. One year and one day for appeals and then, Shazam, Game over. I am by no means joking. When you cross the line that far, as in child ****... You no longer human being in my book. We should castrate them with a rusty knife first, and then hang them. If we did it like that, publicly (Maybe private on the castration part) you want to bet that would be a deterrent!? I could do it easily And then sit down to a full meal. I lived on a ranch for a couple of years and I had to butcher some animals. I was more remorseful about that than I would be for these guys here.

Péist Mhór (@BigWorm11174792) reportedShazam had no answer for blade 2. Close to infallible normally, 3 wrong answers tonight!! Just put on pulp fiction and it had no problem picking up tracks from that.

-
Fatster (@DarrellKaram) reported@DCUAlert Batman. He would be a terrible casting choice for Shazam and Zachary Levi is already killing it as Shazam
-
ewgenijwolkow (@ewgenijwolkow) reportedwhat happened to @Shazam ? There was a time when you could hum a song for 5sec and it would find it. Now you can play 10sec of the actual song and it doesn’t find anything?! What a degradation of service

lay 🤓🤓🤓🤓 (@faultinourseal) reportedi genuinely love shazam i was at a coffee shop the other day, sat down, and immediately felt the need to shazam every single song bc the playlist was ******* fire
-
LG1014 (@LG101400) reported@FetchTheGhost WW, Aquaman even Shazam 1 is pretty peak so of my favorites and I love The Flash film it had the right idea but terrible execution with things
-
Danny Grace (@Dgrace75) reported@liamgallagher We should all down load that one to our phones you think …let me know if need to Shazam that one
-
JFresh (@JFreshHockey) reportedAnti-Flag - “Broken Bones” it's whatever Arkells - “Whistleblower” don't like this band at all but this has some energy to it it's decent Band of Skulls - “The Devil Takes Care of His Own” i blame the black keys for all the mid blues rock they kept putting in these games Bassnectar - “Pennywise Tribute” 7/10 i don't even know much you could even call this a remix but the original is cool Battleme - “Shoot the Noise, Man” even the electric stuff has to be bluesy apparently Classified - “Run with Me” this is so so bad i can't even pretend to like it for halifax reasons Foxy Shazam - “I Like It” the uncensored chorus is insane. song's so ******* annoying Gaslight Anthem - “45” good song on imo a great album The Heavy - “What Makes a Good Man” pretty cool stuff The Hives - “I Want More” good band but really annoying Monster Truck - “Seven Seas Blues” it's fine but enough of the big burly beard blues rock My Darkest Days - “Save Yourself” at least it's catchy but i hate the hot topic pop metal The Offspring - “Days Go By” maybe the most shameless rip off song i've ever heard, just cover foo fighters instead Shinedown - “Bully” garbage Thousand Foot Krutch - “Light Up the Sky” no

THE CAPTAIN ⚡️ (@Lightingclap) reported@UpbvatReporter “A-an interview?” Shazam stammered nervously as he looked down at the reporter. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “With me? Are you sure? There’s plenty of other heroes around.”
-
James L. Greenlee (@GreenleeGazette) reported@SpeelingBChamp @CaraAxtell @TheBabylonBee "Miracles" are plot-hole spackle. It literally fixes any logical problems with any story in the bible. It's magic. Magic can do anything, so no matter what problem there might be, shazam! Magic! It's juvenile silliness to me.
-
Dean (@deanholz13) reportedAnd here’s the thing, instead pissing money down the drain on Shazam 2, blue beetle, the flash, black Adam and Aquaman 2, they legit should’ve just made JL2&3. The story would be done and then DC could’ve clean rebooted and had a united fanbase open to whatever would’ve been made

JUNI 🌠 (@BLKJUNICORTEZ) reportedSwear down i be in the club with my shazam ready😭😭😭
-
🇳🇴 AahYesHello 🐧🎶 (@AahYesHello) reported@ri_neb LandR is pretty decent in my opinion here is pros and cons: pro: They give you shazam, contentID for free Cover licenses are a one time payout If you stop paying your subscription they won't take down your songs, but take a 15% cur from your revenue Support team are humans only and no useless chat bot cons: Because they dont use AI in their systems they have a manual QC team that needs to look through your release and manually approve which takes some business days If you're making a remix they need documentation for rights of sample usage which takes even more days to process They dont support label plans and is generally for solo artists so if you were planning a "Various Artist" release it is usually meant for 1-3 artists per release Hope this helps

Mason mount (@mount4life) reported@Exchronos @Steveroger3277 Shazam 2 had a weak plot and terrible acting
-
Mallu Junction (@MegaONE1127279) reported@morvinedward When its not able reach nearer Lokah its became Mixed review, Except Shazam everyone else given excellent review , Why mohanlal sleeper cell is not working properly
-
Boeing Directed Energy Weapon Express (@vagefjoer) reportedTerrible to have a song stuck in your head but not being able to Shazam it with your brain
-
Joe Mish (@JoeMish3) reported@BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****
-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
-
yapmonster ash 𐙚 SEEING BANGTWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@biebtanbrainrot) reportedthey did release it… my Shazam was not working omg
-
John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reportedWhen you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 5-12 for the NFL season. YIKES!
-
Star cinema (@jjahluv) reported@Emmmavic So Shazam got superpowers, and suddenly even his own parents couldn’t recognize him anymore… yeah, superhero problems really hit different 😭
-
tiny god (@She_isKing_) reportedAnyone else’s Shazam not working? Neither of my iPads or my phone are able to find multiple common songs. @Shazam what the heck 🥺
-
bolter 🐇 (@acebolter) reported@UncannySp1der It’s actually more like if the Absolute universe started with Shazam mounted over Darkseid’s fire place. And yeah i don’t really think that would be a big issue either
-
BANG CHAN 방찬 GLOBAL 🍋🩵 (@BangChanGlobal) reported📣 | UPDATE: After numerous templates and emails since 2025, it seems as though Bang Chan’s Spotify profile has now been fixed, with the fake songs removed. HOWEVER! Issues still persist across YouTube/YouTube Music, Apple Music, Shazam, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer. We will provide an updated template once we have finished reviewing each platform in depth.
-
Marco Almeida (@MarcoAlmeidaPT) reportedCar stereo playing a song on the radio. iPhone connected via CarPlay. Opening Shazam or Apple’s own “recognize music” tool immediately shuts down the radio. I know taking over the car stereo audio when the microphone is activated is the standard behavior, but it’s kind of stupid in this scenario, right?

Greentendo (@Nictendo2) reported@Gazungamer Honestly the biggest problem with the later output of the dceu. Stuff like Shazam and TSS would’ve done wonders 5 years earlier
