“Too creative for nine-to-five” I mean a lot of us are, just undiscovered in our talents and creativity. No one is in a nine-to-five job because they can’t do anything more than that, that is so dehumanising and demeaning it’s unreal. Especially coming from someone so devoid of any talent at all 🤦🏻
Yeah creative is the wrong word. Just because you work a 9-5 doesn’t mean you are not creative enough to make money doing something with it. Also she could work 9-5 and be creative too.
Agreed. I work in a 9-5 job that’s literally a job to create things all day... and I work with multiple other people Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm who create art all day. She chose the wrong words here
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear habna

Gabbie Hannahs poems is giving me terrible flashbacks of back when I was 12 I decided I was going to write an emo song and kept this song writing in a very secretive bright pink diary that had a fake lock and the diary was in my room when my cousin came over my house and she read it and laughed historically and said my song was absolute shit. I feel like gabbie needs a friend like my cousin that just straight up tells her the poems are shit. Aweee, thank you for the good comments, I now officially have 11 fans. My 12 year old self would be so proud. Actually I have 10 fans and an air conditioner and now also a heater because it was getting a bit cold

Some days I feel sad other days I feel lonely I'm just a mixture of emotions, I'm sorry. " I legit remember being so proud of this song and thought twenty one pilots would let me go on tour with them if I made this into a song and they heard it.

Gabbie’s poems aren’t academically good at all, but people can still like them for any fraction of sincerity or authentic emotions they evoke. Sometimes just liking something that’s not very intellectual is ok. I own pillow thoughts but I also own wislawas symborska’s poetry which is some of the best poetry there is, yet I can still enjoy pillow thoughts
@@lesliealcala3202 I think Pillow Thoughts is a pure waste of money because you could have dumb discussions like that with your friends for free. Your hard earned money should be spent on things that you can’t get otherwise. Yes, people can like unintelligent content but that doesn’t fit here because GABBIE LEGITLY THINKS SHE’S A GOOD POET!! That was made apparent when she took offense to Jame’s first video on her. If she made the book to be unintelligent then all criticism would just be funny to her. Pillow thoughts is meant to be stupid, Dandelion and Adultelecence are Gabbie’s serious attempts to be “talented” and she’s so high up on her high horse that she can’t see how bad her poems are
Honestly- Gabbie Hanna clearly has the capacity to write good poetry. She's not incapable, and if she really sat down and compiled twenty good poems that were really important to her they wouldn't be half bad. Instead she has hundreds of mediocre poems to meet a quota over these books, and it comes across as though she had time to think of two lines and not much else
"Too creative for nine-to-five" is such an entitled statement. A lot of creative people have to work nine-to-fives because not everyone has a platform like her that they can just sell anything to. She's very privileged to be able to make art her living, not everyone has that opportunity.
i think gabbie should stick to the longer, more thought out poems. otherwise, it just feels like a book full of filler throwaway lines. adolescence had the same problem. like we can see that she's capable of writing good poetry!! you can't seriously portray your feelings with two lines; they come off as shallow. too literal or observant
snail_ smoothie i agree there was that page in adultolescence where she talks about the rain (i’ll give the timestamp if you want) and that page actually shows her potential for writing something good, but sadly her time was cramped to produce smth better
That poem about „I don’t want a boyfriend, I just want somebody to [doing everything like a boyfriend]“ is almost verbatim from how I met your mother.

+Touching The Rainbow It's also similar to what Rachel says to Ross in one of the later episodes of friends (I don't know what episode it is but it is when she is pregnant).
Just always have felt like she’s trying soooo hard to be quirky and relatable and it’s just so painfully obvious not only in this book but with everything she does...just comes off as cringe.
Calling random sentences and thoughts "poems" is actually insulting to great poets and poems throughout history. Imagine you're an actual poet and you see her book sell more than you just cuz she had some dumb popular videos online...
I’ve been poetry writing for 4 years now. Everyday I grow as a writer, I write on topics that people may relate to, I write to help escape my issues, I write to help understand what is happening in my mind. Gabbie has the ability to write. Poems like “Distance” was beautiful, and the illustrations she shows helps add more to her words. But then you turn the page to something like “Hot” where the first two lines feel like something till she ruins it with “or a vape pen” and turns it to nothing. Poems don’t have to be long to give the reader the meaning you want to show, sometimes two lines can be more powerful than a pageful of words, but the way Gabbie does it, it feels like something from her notes app that she came up with that kinda rhymed. More of a tweet she would probably post instead of a poem. I saw her book in the store the other day and I picked it up along with another called “Pillow Thoughts”, and the complete DIFFERENCE between the two. Different to the fact you can see which one carried emotions and truth and one that carried empty words. Gabbie can write, but she chooses to make a “funny” joke instead of something that works.
James having a wholesome growth in a single video by approaching his own insecurities when he started youtube and commentary is wholesome but also an unexpected turn of events
@Oliver Hazell no I don’t think it is- true feminists want equality and look down on those who bring both men and women down, so as she brings down men in her poems she is not a true feminist and more of a “femi-Nazi” (I don’t know if that’s the correct term). I’m not attacking your comment or your view but I’m fed up with politics being brought into everything :(
The problem with Gabbie's poems is that I feel like I've already read every single one of them. Whether it be because they're not really that original, or because they all sound like they were heavily inspired by different memes, they're all blending together to me.
The Middle Poem. When James was talking about it and correcting her and everything it made tears come to my eyes, when he said ‘it’s not weak people who say goodbye, it’s strong people’ I don’t know why but I felt like giving him a hug and it might be because I’ve tried to leave before but his videos helped me stay and idk
I appreciate James has acknowledged that he started out negative and that he is now recognizing that the books he reviews aren’t necessarily made for him but could still be enjoyed by the target audience. And that’s on personal growth 🥰🥰😄
here's one: all the critics seem to say my poetry only gets in the way of people with real talent and even when i've tried my hardest they say i'll never be an artist so could i please just stop
her book is oddly similar to rupi kaur's. like thats what she was going for, even the theme and title and different sections. and the illustrations omg
This year has been really tough and I’m so so so happy that James makes content it’s made it this year so much easier!! He makes me so happy. And he’s so funny!! So James.. thank you we love you
i feel so tempted to rewrite a bunch of these poems because like, the concepts are interesting it's just that most of these sound like someone recording voice memos for a digital diary
The fact that Gabbie attacked Rachel Oats for her video critiquing her poetry without once insulting her and didn’t think to mention the people who actually are insulting her..... great video tho!
It feels like some of these poems are so bad they're pretty much memes. Most would be better placed in PewDiePie's "This Book Loves You" full of subversive dry humour
I have this problem with Atticus especially where if you read it as a sentence suddebly it doesn't sound as poetic. But if you break up any sentence you can immediately make it more poignant.
I love rupi kaur poetry. Her books have themes and sections that narrow those themes down even more. Her books are also a lot about the journey of grieving and healing. Gabby takes something as beautiful as poetry and just wreaks it. It’s books like hers that make poetry look bad.
@@snail_smoothie2314 it’s not really a point it’s an opinion, I’m saying that I feel that way not that it’s facts. And I was pointing out that I like the way that the books are not only themed but organized. Sorry if it came across that way?
@@hannalee6798 i meant the ending where you said "It's books like hers that make poetry look bad."- that statement comes across as if its factual (from your POV) and implies that she was trying to become a professional poet or something- i was saying that she didn't claim to be on the level of any professional poet. Youre obviously entitled to an opinion but its the way that you say your opinion that makes it come across in certain ways ("i think if this book was the definition of poetry it would make people think all the other good poets are bad", or something along those lines give a different interpretation lol)

Only true fans will know
unus annus 😳
Memento mori my friend
Memento Mori

I thought we were " the trilinguals" 😥
The way she’s been talking about it is actually hilarious, “creative, unique, Great as a Christmas present”
Oh no she did? My....
Ngl I thought he said "Queer stained freaks" and I screamed
i’m screeching why doesn’t this have more likes
as willne once said “die”
...
@Ella Baker were u not on his live ? because that’s what he said
James having a wholesome growth in a single video by approaching his own insecurities when he started youtube and commentary is wholesome but also an unexpected turn of events
ikr :))
"this meeting could have been an email"
"This poem could've been a tweet"
I don’t get why she tries to bring men down so far instead of bringing women up.
@@Raya-ir4tm that’s not feminism bruh
@Oliver Hazell no I don’t think it is- true feminists want equality and look down on those who bring both men and women down, so as she brings down men in her poems she is not a true feminist and more of a “femi-Nazi” (I don’t know if that’s the correct term). I’m not attacking your comment or your view but I’m fed up with politics being brought into everything :(
@@Raya-ir4tm that’s not feminist it’s feminazi
@@nameslesss it's modern feminism.
@@honda-akari no
The problem with Gabbie's poems is that I feel like I've already read every single one of them.
Whether it be because they're not really that original, or because they all sound like they were heavily inspired by different memes, they're all blending together to me.
Gabbie: Sad is bad
Her fans: OmG sO dEeP
Who else saw the comment from James’ live telling him to die 😭🤚🏼
- yall stop stressing, he was joking
Ye it was class
William Lenny back at it again
Evil comment. Dislike people that’s fine but don’t express it to them and never under any circumstance tell them to do such a thing
@@declanb2 why?
@@declanb2 Did he mean it tho?
This like to dislike ratio is actually insane, good job james!!
The Middle Poem.
When James was talking about it and correcting her and everything it made tears come to my eyes, when he said ‘it’s not weak people who say goodbye, it’s strong people’ I don’t know why but I felt like giving him a hug and it might be because I’ve tried to leave before but his videos helped me stay and idk
I appreciate James has acknowledged that he started out negative and that he is now recognizing that the books he reviews aren’t necessarily made for him but could still be enjoyed by the target audience. And that’s on personal growth 🥰🥰😄
I miss the constant trilingual flexing.
Everything gabby has ever written sounds like it was stolen off r/im14andthisisdeep or whatever it’s called
Gabby hanna looks like my 50 year old auntie, both sound like smokers when they talk/sing
here's one:
all the critics seem to say
my poetry only gets in the way
of people with real talent
and even when i've tried my hardest
they say i'll never be an artist
so could i please
just
stop
Better than all of the poems in her book
her book is oddly similar to rupi kaur's. like thats what she was going for, even the theme and title and different sections. and the illustrations omg
Gabby Hanna has had more hair colors than James has said he's trilingual.
This year has been really tough and I’m so so so happy that James makes content it’s made it this year so much easier!! He makes me so happy. And he’s so funny!! So James.. thank you we love you
I saw this book at Walmart and backed into some poor old lady in shock :(
I saw it in Target and had to do a double take
i feel so tempted to rewrite a bunch of these poems because like, the concepts are interesting it's just that most of these sound like someone recording voice memos for a digital diary
The fact that Gabbie attacked Rachel Oats for her video critiquing her poetry without once insulting her and didn’t think to mention the people who actually are insulting her..... great video tho!
Her poems are literally me shit posting every single thought that comes to my mind on Twitter
This is it. Our trilingual weirdo has made it.
:")

Did anyone else get an ad right after Cynic said "D A D D Y"

Ad-dy
That Braille thing... Nah dude, I'm blind and that's just the most stupid thing. Why the hell would you make 'Braille' not tactile?!
everyone knows that braille is the only thing blind ppl can see dkabshakasnow

I died at “I don’t like the monSSTTEEEEERRRRRR in here!”

If I say “here we go again” will I be cool?
No. No I won’t.
woah what a cool dude
But your pfp makes you cool
kyokoooo
I cannot believe they killed trees for this
"It's not weak people that say goodbye- it's strong people"... That hit me way too hard for a comedic video
James’s mini speech on him explaining his channel after reading the poem about him was just 👏🏼👌🏼👍🏼
It feels like some of these poems are so bad they're pretty much memes. Most would be better placed in PewDiePie's "This Book Loves You" full of subversive dry humour
Ngl I actually love that book. And read it occasionally. Am I cringe? Lol
am I the only one who would see something people say is a "poem" and be like.. that's literally just a sentence.
I have this problem with Atticus especially where if you read it as a sentence suddebly it doesn't sound as poetic. But if you break up any sentence you can immediately make it more poignant.
Not skipping ads this video because I feel bad for James because of George’s gifts
Nothing can top :
Time is relative
Beauty is relative
Family is relatives
-gabbie Hanna
As a bad poet myself, I find this book strangely uplifting. :b
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
James: Still doing gabby Hannah videos.
@Tyra Nelson ye James videos are sick but that doesn’t change the fact I still get nightmares off the what if I’m a monster song
Yes ha ha ha very funny
@@augustin3 is this gabbie undercover? I keep seeing you defending and talking her up on multiple comment threads 😅😂
@@janiep.6557 fr, was wondering the same thing lol
Most of these poems she probably found off of Pinterest.
This isn't a book,
These are just tweets you pay to read. Actually I'd rather read jaden smiths tweets 🤔
You are almost to 2 mill! Fingers crossed that you hit before the end of the year! You can do it!
I love rupi kaur poetry. Her books have themes and sections that narrow those themes down even more. Her books are also a lot about the journey of grieving and healing. Gabby takes something as beautiful as poetry and just wreaks it. It’s books like hers that make poetry look bad.
She didn't claim that she was an amazing poet though, so that's where you point almost doesn't work
@@snail_smoothie2314 it’s not really a point it’s an opinion, I’m saying that I feel that way not that it’s facts. And I was pointing out that I like the way that the books are not only themed but organized. Sorry if it came across that way?
@@hannalee6798 i meant the ending where you said "It's books like hers that make poetry look bad."- that statement comes across as if its factual (from your POV) and implies that she was trying to become a professional poet or something- i was saying that she didn't claim to be on the level of any professional poet. Youre obviously entitled to an opinion but its the way that you say your opinion that makes it come across in certain ways ("i think if this book was the definition of poetry it would make people think all the other good poets are bad", or something along those lines give a different interpretation lol)
@@snail_smoothie2314 unfortunately I’m an unintelligent 17 year old. And I’m not terribly concerned about how my opinion comes across as people don’t see what a simple brained kid on the internet says as fact
@@hannalee6798 (may I add idk who rupi kaur is) yeah I was saying I replied my comment because that was how your comment came across to me so I was replying to that specific context lol
Wassup James “I hate the poor” Marriott
when you said on your live "this might be my longest video this year" i didnt expect it to be 14 minutes😭😭anyway looking forward to this . merry christmas james
I was rewatching the bad book club series last night and then this came out right now I manifested this video
