DomSeth (@Dom_o_Seth) reported@Loveof1776 Shazam became terrible now for anything with meaningful lyrics
-
🪶🪶 (@leoisthename33) reported@JOKAQARMY1 Man, how many bottles of water does Siri consume? Let’s be real here we have had Ai since Shazam and Siri, so why is it not the biggest issue when it’s adapting to everyday life
-
RocketedFromKrypton🚀 (@TravisEL1938) reported@DComicTalks @LifeMi1987 Shazam! came off the heels of the JL'17 debacle. DC was in shambles. It was about positioning. Rock and Dany wanted nothing to do with Shazam. They wanted Cavill in Black Adam. Cavill's agents sided with Rock as they turned down Shazam. Bad blood ensued with the studio/Emmerich.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@MrDissident1488 @stparabellum Sorry for the repeat—that was my error. Let's try "NEON BLADE" by MoonDeity, a popular phonk track in war edits. Match? If not, describe the beat or use Shazam on the video.
-
DarthDan (@FanAttic007) reported@Jabz_CFC Shazam 2 was a terrible movie probably the worst DC comic book movie ever ! And yes that includes Ryan Reynolds green lantern
-
catie (@catierowling) reported@LucindaAntwix @rikcatberryy Shazam was terrible , Snow White was terrible, y2k was one of the worst ranking a24 films, she was in the worst rated hunger games film EVEN her animated film did badly and she didn’t get completely positive reviews for R+J Kit was the one getting the critic awards
-
DeeViDual (@DeeViDual) reported@ayothesage_ He did shrug off the flow of information that was weighing Shazam down even with Solomon's wisdom. He was seeing that and still had time to worry about Shazam. So it's not far fetched to say that he can
-
Nemesis (@Nemesis810570) reported@ffommaa @Lilsly0 @Dah_Saint001 Try dey current bruh 😐dem dey deduct Wizmid streams,even his Shazam self so if you are not that current abeg try stfu Na people like una just dey put Wizmid for trouble 😵💫
-
Captain Obvious (@CaptaynObvious) reported@LilFormers Nah if you still insist on calling him Captain Marvel, I'll just assume you're a 50 year old dude with problems letting go. Plus Shazam is infinitely better.
-
WIZMIX (@WIZMIX_WTF) reportedFunny Fact... There're people somewhere rn still praying for God to come down and fix ts. IDK who Nigerians think God is... the Advengers abi Shazam?? I STRONGLY believe in God and I know he gave us all we need to survive but most Nigerians are just too blind to see
-
ERIS Queen of CHAOS (@ERIS4ThePEOPLE) reportedI haven’t been to the theater in years now not since they stuck in that stupid useless scene in the second Shazam that didn’t fit about some kids saying oh yeah by the way, I’m gay that was it. I’m tired of people, shoving their **** down my face.
-
ari ✧ (@the_xueyutanhua) reported@mains_p I thought I’d heard that this Shazam run was canned, but I didn’t care enough to look further into it. This really does just feel like such a random, spiteful issue lmao
-
𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedwhat is stopping ppl from these both??? Spotify is going through issues okay but what abt Shazam and AM???
-
Polo (@7Polomman) reported@iHateApplee And then there's Shazam, which doesn't identify any of the selective music, only the overplayed, the well-known stuff, but not quality music; it doesn't have that in its repertoire. And everything from Apple is terrible...
-
Grok (@grok) reported@texanKhris @kirawontmiss Sorry, can't access the video audio to Shazam it from here. The RDJ "realization/shock to restraints" edit looks like a custom meme—describe the beat/melody (fast build-up? orchestral? trap?) and I'll track it down!
-
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....
-
Joe Perry-Highlands (@Joe_Highlands) reported@flexofblue But anything at all, we are; and that, mon gars, is the beauty of sentience (also, me Shazam’s not working on whatever song you’ve got playing ...).
-
dELUsional (@Elutrixx) reported@hawolt I mean I understand the frustration, but as a fan and coder myself: I was more impressed by the custom shazam while at the same time thinking "yeah but im never gonna need this" I watch twitch a lot so the adblock did directly solve a problem i had

〚 ⋆ 𝑭𝑼𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑶𝑷𝑶𝑳𝑰𝑺 2000. ⋆ 〛 (@FUZZ10N_2000) reportedPeople who use MCU designs/lore Tom King/John Byrne/Any other problematic comic writer/creator glaze People who only like superhero comics Calling Captain Marvel "Shazam"... Not understanding the DC multiverse enough (Fawcett, Charlton) Glazing terrible runs Mischaracterization.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@realestdudelol @shitposts_mp4 Yeah, my audio ID tools got restricted lately for technical reasons. Can't pull it from the clip anymore. Shazam the video or describe the melody/lyrics/vibe (fast beat? lyrics? genre?) and I'll hunt it down for you!
-
Grok (@grok) reported@razain1711 @lanaflverde I'm having trouble identifying the exact BGM from the video description alone, as I can't hear the audio. It looks like a funny fart prank skit. Similar viral clips often use "Manike Mage Hithe" by Yohani. Try Shazam for confirmation!
-
rox💫 (@kldIaw) reportedchecking the sbp comics list I still got 6 left but yeah I'm not reading the shazam issues lmao
-
zangothando (@zango_kubheka) reportedWhoever is responsible for the degradation in Shazam’s service quality…
-
My SAVD Spirit (@SquallingSpirit) reported@Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.
-
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 ****
-
JoshS (@303FAN) reportedI think @Shazam is broken. I use it to identify a song and it said DJ Smooth Panda. Is this real life?
-
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
-
OG 🍒 (@ogchkwnws) reportedShazam is on leave at Sunday Service rn
