Making Sense of Karmin

Ever since I caught this performance last week of Karmin’s “Brokenhearted,” I have sort of been obsessed with the song. Wake up in the morning. Let me play “Brokenhearted” on Spotify while I get ready. Blog some posts to start my day. “Brokenhearted” would sound great right about now! The song is catchy. It’s poppy and it gets me moving, but at the same time there are a few things about Karmin that just confuse me.

  • This squat pose that she does when she performs…do you see it? Why does she do it?
  • The rapping isn’t doing much for the song.
  • How does she get her hair to do that?
  • The theater facial expressions are at times terrifying
  • Karmin is comprised of a couple, but we don’t see too much from the guy? Amy is basically running the whole show.

Despite all of these things, I am still impressed by Karmin. No one will doubt that she has this incredible voice – not to mention that they are YouTube stars – so power to them! But I’m curious, is Karmin a phase? Will they be able to stick it out for the long run? What do you guys think?
