By Lyne (@by84536) reported@uniquemoviemom This is more female supremacy nonsense. Shazam is also magic. He should have been able to resist. Also, the lightning should have taken her out or he could have called down the lighting again to turn back as she was thrown away by the impact.

Brice 🎈 (@BriceTheBestOne) reported@kalisredmoon Well atleast its doing well on itunes/apple music/shazam worldwide. Spotify sucks yeah and its been frozen on tiktok. My quote post was a response to the hate and how IHHM is better. You'll never see me on this app looking for trouble like stans here do.

JRB (@SteelersLe) reported@AxelTalksFilm With how he made it seem like he was such a ********* Adam fan it’s sad how it turned out. He shoulda had the accent down with the hair and ears, that woulda been an acting job he would get praise for bc the dialect. Also not wanting to be against Shazam too…
-
Count Napier 2: La secuela (@JHQ409259) reported@TheBatspecter It really was the DCEU itself, Lego DC was at its best at that time (add to that the success of Lego Batman Movie)Lego DC really went down the drain when the movies didn't seem to have direction (you know, Shazam, Joker, TSS, SnyderCut) The only one that had a set was WW84.

Miraïsenberg (@Mirai_Itami) reported@SirBylHolte If you got a problem with : « I don’t want the bad guys to get killed." "I don’t care how many people they hurt or kill along the way." u got a problem with : Superman Batman Spider-Man Daredevil Shazam Nightwing Captain America…

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 🥺
-
minion maniac (@ihateweirdcreep) reported@magmortality @MyNameIsWepeeI I have a really bad auditory processing problem and unironically just figured out today that a song I’ve been enjoying when I hear it come on is not, in fact, in English. I only figured it out because I finally thought to Shazam the song because I couldn’t remember enough words to Google it myself. I was like “wait what there’s zero English” So basically I do this to the highest degree with any song in any language :)

Ronald Soccer (@EyeshieldDeku21) reported@dailystarzam Shazam from the New 52 was kind of disappointing for me, I just didn't read Johns' run on DC Rebirth because of the neglect that went down.
-
Bibhuti Bora (@bibhutibaibhaav) reported@YRANACKCALB The huge problem is Shazam is the personality of the both actors. They are really different
-
Lucid (@Lucid_BirdApp) reported@Exalted_Speed This is like how Shazam had a sequel 5 years after the original. Billy always had a ticking clock, especially when going with a teenage take. And the ages for all the YA actors were a little all over the place, which is a more of problem there than for the Avenegers
-
Hype Feed⚡⚡⚡ (@Hypershocke) reported@roger_stev82377 People seem to forget that Shazam is powered by six gods and imagine the six of them against Thor and hulk bro it's gonna be a massive beat down 💯💯💯
-
KEFFCHXP FANPAGE (@13xkeff) reported@dfwtopski Stop that joke I once used shazam to find a song that got taken down I could not listen to it but it gave me the artiste name
-
Jaymovies (@juliandceu) reported@jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.
-
Deimahobi⁷🧑🚀아포방포 (@taetaemybf7) reported@ameviil For me shazam is not working
-
shlerp (@barkolson) reportedneighbor one house down music so fire i had to shazam it
-
SRTKENZO9️⃣ (@K9NX0EVG) reported@BlakkMonkey @Zap_TFS @roger_stev82377 Better to shut it down than go back and forth so yep. AND on top of that, you inserted Hal in a conversation he doesn’t even compete in. Superman is the fastest non speedster character in DC and Shazam is behind him.. so where did you get Hal from? U saying he’s faster than Kent?

Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported📆 April 19, 2002, “Jeepster” by T. Rex became the first song successfully identified by Shazam. This happened during a pre-launch test of the service, which at the time required users to call a phone number and receive the song title via text message. The company, now owned by Apple, has since developed technology capable of identifying billions of songs.

Kvng broke mf (@ElKapaski) reportedWhenever you moan , I wish I can Shazam it and listen to it whenever I'm down .....buh you just mumu 🤦🏾🤧
-
littledaisy 🌼 (@hanniedontcare) reportedI was just thinking about this now.. it was so unfair. we got less time to prepare for nonexistent, super poorly organized Back To Life promotion. practically zero promotion outside twitter, broken links, the song was stolen across streaming platforms, shazam got hijacked, MV + release announce last minutes and BTL hit streaming a month later. we were on our own while other fbs got weeks to prep. we could've done so much more with an early heads up. we could've easily debuted with over 1M streams if jyp wasnt so ****** 😭😭😭

TBPN (@tbpn) reportedShazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.

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.

ThatDeadHead (@SteveGr16838876) reported@OtunbaSebotimo The problem with the movie the kid actor acted nothing like the Shazam version, he was way too serious and didn't have the same charm
-
Mindy #TeamLH@MVF1 (@MindyMVF1) reported@CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡
-
Trevor Buchet 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 (@MichaelKrause6) reportedRemember the first time CNN and its anchors were used in a movie. Its was Contact. Then Batman v Superman and Wolf in SkyFall and MI and Shazam. But now they pop up in 3 Body Problem and its just pathetic. Can we go back to fake networks and not cheer or moan because its CNN
-
Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reportedLast week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.
-
Chris Craddock (@ChrisCraddock5) reportedReed: Yes, I do. He needed somebody to talk to her and find out what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. And you went down there and suddenly - Shazam, she’s out.”
-
trey (@tgold29) reported@SamB_46 Underrated refuge moment that I actually have functioning cell service to Shazam tracks
-
F Shuggi (@official_fkb) reported@ShaySiblings @mideysmith You guys need to stop with this Sentry glazing and all that, just cos he's one of your fav xters. The only person he might be able to take down on this list might be maybe WW & Shazam(kid brain), but he ain't soloing no one here.
-
Dralcor (@DralcorSol) reported@dak_daze @grok Maybe the XE video? I don't know, and Shazam is not working for me right now. Just a thought
-
J.S. Karma (@EtInferius) reported@RAISRAEL2 Remeber the song app named shazam? Or waa it a site or something? I never used it. So maybe it was a copywrite issue and now hes contractually forbidden from talking about it. Or those kids went missing to the island....
