Problem is, over the last 2 or 3 updates, it’s become a chore to interact with, frequently freezing on the very first screen. I looooooove Genius, a treasure trove of hidden insights into songs you already love and thought you knew, as well as a portal for discovering new music you haven’t had a chance to love yet. Plus it’s a handy guide to the types of issues that in my case at least could be addressed with reinstallation. Great when it works, which isn’t now (ok now it is)Īfter the latest update did nothing to fix Genius’s many issues, i deleted and reinstalled the app, and it’s been working quite well since, so I bumped the rating back up, but I’m going to leave my original review in case said problems come back. Overall the profile tab seems worthless now, but could be better in the future. If you sign into google it takes your google account picture and makes it your profile picture without giving you a way to change it later. They make it out like you can personalize your profile based on your style of music, which seems cool, but is not really the case. When you download the app you can sign into a profile like any other app now but in Genius your profile is almost meaningless. It’s a bummer because i can’t find a way to get around it.ģ. It makes for a cool background but every time i want to make one right before i save it to my camera roll the app decides to crash. There is a feature in the app where in a song you can take a picture given to you from the artist or your own picture and take lyrics from a particular song and put it over the picture. When you watch the videos in the app and you try to flip your device sideways the video will stay in the upright position (even with lock rotation on allowing you to freely move your portrait), which is annoying since the picture is already as small as it is.Ģ. But a few things that are really irritating and annoying are:ġ. I love the interface and the way you navigate throughout the app. This collection comes from pop culture references, news articles, music publications, social media posts, and community forums on the internet.Pretty good overall but has some glitches To qualify its popularity, each song on this list had to spend time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart-and many became #1 hits. If nothing else, mondegreens are almost always funny (if not a bit embarrassing), so Stacker compiled a list of some of the most humorous misheard lyrics from popular music over the last 70 years. Researchers found that people sing the "wrong" words to a song due to an illusion of sound it could indicate what we hope to hear, as reported by New York magazine. It's been the subject of both academic study and serious journalism. American author Sylvia Wright coined it in Harper's Magazine while recounting a ballad that had confounded her when she was a child.īut this misfiring of the connections between the ears and the brain can plague anyone of any age. Misheard lyrics are known as mondegreens, a term that dates back to 1954. The actual line is "by the dawn's early light." Author Beverly Cleary immortalized this mistake in her children's book "Ramona the Pest." Kids learning the national anthem could be forgiven for hearing the lyric "by the dawnzer lee light"-even though the latter doesn't make any sense, in any language.
