In Socialblade it is displayed that hundreds of thousands are talking about Jackie on Facebook, has anyone noticed something about it. The only thing noticeable is the fact that this forum is dead and the owner of this forum has lost all interest in Jackie. 😒

There's music within the maddness ? Doubtless it's a reference to something some people will have heard of. I'm not sure _which_ thing, is all. :-) But there are songs that explore the boundaries of sanity in a gentle way, like "Let Go" by Frou Frou, which includes the phrase "beauty in the breakdown". A lot of songs and stories have a dark side, but that doesn't make them all alarming; indeed, if they were just "everyone was happy, the end", they'd be boring. Sometimes the point is that it's something to struggle against or try to help make better, or at least come to terms with in a way that permits remaining functional. Plenty of songs she's sung as far back as PTAD have a bit of a dark side to them. Not to say that we can't use some more upbeat stuff too. :-)

While most of the commenters to Jackie's latest Instagram post remarked about the way she looks; i.e. stating the obvious; I instead found her "There's madness within the music" intriguing and especially insightful. That observation traces all the way to Aristotle, who also noticed it. My comment went this way; It was said of one of the profoundly best song writers of the last 50 years, Townes VanZandt, that: "That kind of genius is not able to be attained without the madness that comes along with it.". If Jackie doesn't know who he was or of his songs, she should look him up. #Tower Song.." It would shock me if anyone here knew who he was or about his music. But the insight of his lyrics into who most of us truly are, is rarely matched. He said of this song, that the more he sang it and thought about it over years, that he came to realize he'd written it as a letter to and about ..... himself.

I agree Mr. VanZandt was a gifted writer. a tormented soul looking for truth in music, a genius in a time of darkness. My favorite is "For the Sake of the Song". One could make some comparison with Jackie, but who do I think I am to decide.

you're trying to interpret Jackie's captions, that's completely useless, it's all about the second season of "Euphoria", nothing else. Apparently there is nothing more important for Jackie at the moment

She's talking about the mental illness she's struggling with...the "madness", and the music that she wants to sing despite that challenge.

She's talking about the mental illness she's struggling with...the "madness", and the music that she wants to sing despite that challenge. Let's say that there is some phrase on a popular TV show or whatever that catches some people's attention. Maybe it means more to them than it meant on the show; not always, but sometimes - even if they told themselves that it was just a cool phrase. OTOH, pop culture references are very easily over-interpreted. If you aren't sure what something means, look further; and if that doesn't settle it, wait for something that tilts the balance, unless remaining undecided is worse than getting it wrong. :-)

When I posted earlier, I chose Townes VanZandt and his music to illustrate what Jackie ..may .. have meant by her cryptic Instagram post, because Townes was tortured with manic depression and borderline schizophrenia most of his life. When he was in his late teens, his mother committed him to a mental institution where he was treated with an experimental shock therapy involving insulin. It erased his memories. He spent the rest of his life self medicating and overdosing the unending torment of his illness with cocaine, heroin, booze and masochistic behavior. In other words, he spent those years trying to kill himself on the installment plan. He succeeded when only 53 yo. Most were amazed he lasted that long. Despite all the craziness and pain and destruction he caused himself and all those closest to him, the music he conjured was the stuff of genius. But as Picasso once profoundly admitted: "What I do does not come from me ... but through me.". Where, why and how lyrics like those of Towne's Tower Song came from ..... ?? Jackie's mental illness is similar in that it's a method and process of self destruction. What she's afflicted with can kill her, young, as we know from another young performer, Karen Carpenter, who despite all the adulation, affection and success she earned, literally starved herself to death. How is a drug and booze addicted sot able to compose, this? Despite his "madness" and through it; or because of it? "Close your eyes and speak to me Of faith and love and destiny As distant as eternity From truth and understanding The wind blows cold outside your door It whispers words I've tried before But you don't hear me anymore Your pride's just too demanding You built your tower strong and tall Can't you see its got to fall Some day"

I don't think Jackie will portray her mental issues that way. The pictures don't show any mental illness, just Jackie's normal crazyness.
