Olivia Wilde, the multi-talented director and actress, recently made quite a proclamation about her favorite singer, and no, it’s not her ex, Harry Styles! During a guest appearance on SubwayTakes, Olivia didn’t hold back when it came to sharing her thoughts on good singers and karaoke.
She started off by expressing her rather unconventional view that good singers shouldn’t be allowed to do karaoke. Olivia humorously quipped, “They can go get paid to do that. We in the non-good singing community paid good money to be able to go and sing… badly.” It seems she’s all about embracing the sheer fun of belting out off-key renditions.
Olivia readily admitted that she’s not exactly a karaoke virtuoso herself, proudly stating, “I’m terrible [at karaoke], but that’s the point. I take pride in being booed off because that’s great. You just get the turnover, and that’s the next song now.” So, it’s safe to say she’s all for a good laugh and doesn’t take herself too seriously when it comes to karaoke.
She went on to emphasize her point, declaring, “We don’t need to sit through a cover. If I wanted to hear a cover, I would just listen to the real song.” Olivia’s logic is crystal clear – why settle for a copy when you can enjoy the original?
The conversation took an interesting turn when host Kareem Rahma posed a hypothetical question involving Justin Bieber. Olivia didn’t hesitate to shower the pop sensation with praise, calling him “the greatest singer on Earth.” That’s one heck of a compliment right there!
This isn’t the first time Olivia has found herself in the spotlight in connection to Justin Bieber. Back in 2013, she caused quite a stir when a legion of Beliebers descended upon her on X (formerly Twitter). What was the cause of the commotion? Well, it was Olivia’s candid comment that the then-19-year-old Justin needed to “put your f***ing shirt on.” She uttered this statement after Justin was snapped roaming around London without a shirt. Needless to say, it set social media on fire.
On the romantic front, Olivia has had her share of high-profile relationships in the music world. She famously dated Harry Styles for nearly two years, making headlines as one half of a glamorous Hollywood couple. However, their relationship came to an end in November 2022, much to the disappointment of their fans.
Olivia Wilde’s recent declaration of Justin Bieber as the “greatest singer on Earth” adds an amusing twist to the ongoing debate about karaoke etiquette. It’s clear that Olivia values the hilarity and authenticity that comes with off-key renditions over polished covers. And while she may have garnered some attention for her past comments about Justin, it’s all in good fun. After all, in the world of entertainment, unexpected twists and playful banter are all part of the show.
