Okay, let's be real. Who watches Real Housewives of Atlanta for the music? I mean, we're here for the drama, honey! But still, the background tunes are important. Let's dive into the song list from Season 12, Episode 2.
First off, did anyone actually Shazam any of these songs? Or were we all too busy trying to figure out what NeNe was going to say next? I'm going with the latter.
The Episode's Soundtrack: Hits or Misses?
I think we can all agree that the music in RHOA is very… specific. It's not exactly Coachella vibes. More like the soundtrack to a slightly awkward brunch.
Songs You Might Have Missed (Because of the Shade)
There was definitely some generic-sounding pop. You know, the kind that's upbeat but instantly forgettable. Perfect for masking arguments over who said what about whom.
I vaguely remember hearing some R&B-ish tunes. Probably during a "heartfelt" conversation. Or maybe when someone was showing off their designer shoes. Both equally likely.
Let's be honest, most of the time the music is just…there. A subtle hum that fades into the background as Kenya throws more shade. And we love it.
My Unpopular Opinion
Here's my hot take: I think a lot of the music choices are *intentionally* bland. They don't want the songs overshadowing the ladies. Gotta keep the focus on the drama, people!
Could you imagine if Beyoncé was blasting every time Porsha walked into a room? It would be distracting! It's all about balance, baby.
Sometimes I think the music supervisor is like, "Okay, what's the most elevator-esque version of a pop song we can find?" And then they just roll with it. It’s part of the charm.
Let's Get Real About These Soundtracks
The RHOA music selections… they are a choice. And I respect that choice. It’s almost part of the show's identity at this point.
I mean, would we even *notice* if the music was suddenly amazing? Probably not. We'd be too busy dissecting Eva's facial expressions. Priority!
Seriously though, I'm convinced the music is chosen to subtly enhance the mood. Upbeat for a party scene, slightly melancholic for a "vulnerable" moment. It’s all very calculated.
The Verdict: Background Noise or Subtle Genius?
Okay, okay. I'm not saying the music is *bad*. It's just… not the star of the show. And that’s okay!
It sets the scene without stealing the spotlight. It creates atmosphere without being distracting. It’s basically the supporting cast of the RHOA universe.
So next time you're watching Season 12, Episode 2 (or any episode, really), take a listen. Maybe you'll discover a hidden gem. Or maybe you'll just be reminded that NeNe Leakes is a queen. Either way, it's a win-win.
Ultimately, we watch Real Housewives of Atlanta for the personalities, the fashion, and the unforgettable moments of shade. The music? It’s just the sprinkles on top of a delicious, dramatic sundae.
