- Hey all!
It's Conan Gray.
And today I'm here at BuzzFeed
to share my Conan Gray Hot Takes,
and see how similar they are to yours,
the fans.
(hip hop music)
First question is,
"Which is the best Conan Gray song?
"'Maniac',
"'Heather',
"'Generation Y',
"or 'Idle Town'?"
Gonna have to go with "Heather".
It's just a sad boy bop.
(snaps)
49% "Heather"!
Y'all have taste.
Top answer was "Heather" with 5,000 votes.
"Maniac" has 29% with 3000 votes.
Then "Generation Y" and "Idle Town",
10%.
"Heather" is definitely the winner in my heart.
It's my favorite song off of the album.
And the fact that it's my biggest song now
just gives me a little faith in humanity,
I guess.
(laughs)
I really love TikTok.
I watch a lot of TikToks.
I think my screen time on TikTok's like,
three or four hours some days.
And all the "Heather" TikToks,
I quite like.
I think they're fun and creative.
Some of them are really depressing,
but I'm like,
"Yeah,
"true."
The next question is,
"Which is the best Conan Gray video?
"'Maniac',
"'Crush Culture',
"'The Story',
"or 'Wish You Were Sober'?"
Ooh,
ooh ooh ooh.
This is a hard one.
I know what I like,
but I think I also know what the fans will like.
But I think my favorite,
it's probably "Wish You Were Sober".
I'd be surprised if the fans picked that.
Wow.
Okay,
so top answer was "Crush Culture".
33%.
I'm pretty surprised by that.
That video was such a good time to shoot,
but I was so stressed out.
Such a mess.
Second is "Maniac" with 29%.
Third is "Wish You Were Sober" with 26%.
And last is "The Story" with 12%.
But they're all pretty close.
They're all around like,
30-ish percent,
which is it's good to know that people
on average kind of like them.
Thank you guys very much.
That means a lot to me.
I think "Wish You Were Sober" is my favorite video
just 'cause,
one,
it was really fun to shoot.
We were on this like,
little spinny wheel thing
that I would sit on the end and then like,
they'd spin me around.
And it would like,
look like I was like spinning through this party,
and there are all these other people
at the party.
They were all like,
much cooler than me.
I remember walking in,
and being thoroughly intimidated
by how attractive everyone was.
And I was like,
"Why am I here?"
It was just a ton of fun to shoot,
and I think it turned out
exactly like what I had imagined
in my head.
So I really liked that video.
"Which is the superior album?
"'Kid Krow' or 'Sunset Season'?"
Well "Sunset Season" gives me like,
violent flashbacks to my senior year of high school.
It was a little stressful for me,
so I'm going to pick "Kid Krow".
I was in a little bit of a better mind state there.
Oh!
"Kid Krow" wins by 74%.
That's a good decision.
"Sunset Season" got 26%.
Thanks guys.
I'm glad y'all like my more recent work.
Next question is,
"What's the best song on 'Kid Krow'?"
I mean,
I know what my answer is,
for sure.
No doubt.
Ooh,
it has every single song on the album
as an option.
This is going to be divisive,
guys.
So,
"Comfort Crowd",
"Wish You Were Sober",
"Maniac",
"(Online Love)",
"Checkmate",
"The Cut That Always Bleeds",
"Fight Or Flight",
"Affluenza",
"(Can We Be Friends?)",
"Heather",
"Little League",
"The Story".
Y'all already know.
I feel like everyone already knows
that my favorite song off the album is "Heather".
So I'm going to pick "Heather".
I worked so hard on it.
It was so personal.
It was like,
such a horrible moment in my life.
And the fact that people appreciate it
just makes me happy.
So I'm going to pick "Heather".
"Heather" wins with 36%.
Oh,
look at that!
Second place is "Maniac" with 15%.
Then third place is "Wish You Were Sober".
That's actually kind of surprising.
The least popular,
(laughs)
The least popular song off the album is the interlude,
"(Can We Be Friends?)".
Noted.
I guess y'all don't want to be friends.
Whatever.
"Which Taylor Swift song should Conan cover?"
The options are "Exile",
"Last Kiss",
"Holy Ground",
"All Too Well",
"Enchanted/Wildest Dreams" mashup?
I've never,
I don't know if I've seen that.
Or "Sad Beautiful Tragic".
(sighs)
You're really asking a lot out of me,
to make me decide on this.
I'm gonna pick "All Too Well",
because it's a classic.
"And he called me up again,
"just to break me like a promise,
"so casually cruel,
"in the name of being honest"?
Who can come up with those lyrics?
Only Taylor Swift.
Okay,
I'm gonna click it.
Maybe this might be what people like,
I don't know.
(gasps)
Wow!
Okay,
so the top answer was "Enchanted/Wildest Dreams" mashup.
"Enchanted" is a great song.
The first verse where she's like,
"There I was again tonight",
that was so good.
I've actually been listening to "Enchanted"
a lot lately.
And of course,
I mean "Wildest Dreams",
that music video,
just throw me into the safari.
My top three songs off of "Folklore",
I really liked "the 1",
and also "invisible string".
I'm like thinking about them,
and I like,
I like literally want to cry,
thinking about them.
You know what?
I really think "cardigan" is a,
just a beautiful,
beautiful song.
I love love love love love
"Mirrorball" and "seven"
and the whole entire album.
But I go back to "cardigan" a lot,
just 'cause,
I love all the references she makes
to her own career.
And I love just the way that that song feels.
And you know,
yeah,
there is this thing.
When you're young,
you get kind of underestimated.
But I think we as humans should like,
really learn to trust our gut,
because like,
we do know when someone is good
or when someone is bad.
I love "cardigan" a lot,
but "invisible string" is probably my most played,
because I'm definitely the type of person that's like,
"Oh,
"maybe somewhere out there in the city,
"here's like one person,
"and they're working in a cafe right now,
"but in two years we're gonna meet,
"and we're gonna have children."
(laughs)
"Who should Conan collaborate with?
"Billie?"
Love you, Billie.
"Taylor,
"Frank Ocean,
"and Alicia Keys."
Pretty sure I know what people are going to say.
So I'm going to go with Taylor.
I love you,
Billie.
You are just my sweet baby and I love you,
but I'm gonna go with Taylor.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
Whoa.
Well,
I just shocked myself for a second.
Taylor and Billie are in
basically a tie.
But Billie won by 20 votes.
Wow.
I would absolutely die to do a song with Billie.
I love her so much.
I just feel like I have such a long history
of simping for Taylor Swift.
I love you,
Billie.
"What's the superior Conan Gray tweet?"
First option is,
"I'm tired of being tired".
"imagine being in love...im gonna vomit."
Yeah.
I mean,
that's disgusting.
(gags)
"bitches be like,
"'i'm fine',
"then stream ribs by lorde while laying in bed
"wishing they'd never aged past thirteen
"cuz it feels so scary getting old
"and this dream isn't feeling sweet.
"i'm bitches."
(laughs)
And the last one is,
"sadly, i am human."
I have no,
I have no idea.
I think I'm going to go with
"imagine being in love...im gonna vomit."
But also I think maybe
"bitches be like 'i'm fine'
"then stream ribs by lorde"
might be a close one as well.
'Cause,
oh.
I'm gonna go with "ribs by lorde"
You know what?
I'm gonna go with "ribs by lorde" because,
"ribs by lorde" is a lifestyle.
Not a song.
My brain is so big!
"ribs by lorde" wins with 46%.
Then,
second place!
"imagine being in love...im gonna vomit."
God.
I'm just so,
my brain is so fat and sexy.
The last question is,
"What is Conan's best look?"
Spelled "l-e-w-k".
"Skirt chic",
(laughs)
"Hair clip moment,
"Pavement ponderer",
It's me sitting on the ground.
'Cause I'm a piece of trash.
And lastly, "Checkerboard king".
I think I'm going to go with "Skirt chic".
I feel like it was,
it was something that had to be done.
It was something that I,
that I deserved.
I deserved to be in a skirt.
Yup.
"Skirt chic" wins,
33%.
Then "Pavement ponderer",
second place.
Interesting.
I was,
I'm surprised by that.
I guess they love when I sit on the ground.
All right.
That was all the questions.
You can listen to my album,
"Kid Krow".
It's out everywhere.
Thank you guys for all of the support on "Heather".
Thanks for watching!
