  • CulturedSouls Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported

    @CosmicMordecai The first 2 panels weren’t written by Johns and definitely feel closer to post crisis cap than 2013 Shazam. 3rd panel is good, Johns’s characterization has improved but the hiatuses are what killed his run. The 4th panel is really just nothing of substance in the actual issue.

  • sonyabladesbf cameron (@sonyabladesbf) reported

    @_Akk1ra_ @batron_II @sidepictures i don't think anyone would disagree? post shazam it was terrible... however there's been no improvement so we're still rock bottom

  • dopaliciousdoJo quavo-zhené wallis, m.a. (@dopaliciousdoJo) reported

    nah i turn the light all the way down on my screen first then head to shazam lmao

  • MC_NUKE NUKE (@MC_NUKE) reported

    Is it just me, or #FC26 music playlist is terrible compared to last year? Not only did they give us our own @Omah_Lay @plutomaniapopi and @heisrema but I also discovered lots of dope tracks/artists. This year, so far, nothing to shazam tbh.

  • H_S2_py H •ᴗ• py (@H_S2_py) reported

    @KathaMu106 Idk they said shazam is more important or what, but voting team have already explained that voting, why they don’t participate it. Feel discouraging because ppl point out MM’s problem, I think those ppl should think it twice which voting we should focus.

  • SidequestStitch Sidequest Stitch (@SidequestStitch) reported

    @traplordcami that was played from a lambo we were next to in our uber with the top down otw to murphys law afters (i didn’t turn auto shazam off)

  • CornPuma A puma who enjoys corn (@CornPuma) reported

    @RealDeanCain @AOC Pipe down dime store shazam

  • BigJohnLocke John Locke (M.D., M.B.A) (@BigJohnLocke) reported

    @kellyyycccc5 I was on Verizon and had no issues. Switched to AT&T and doesn’t work anymore. Can’t even Shazam in there 😔

  • Lane58690G GilbertLane (@Lane58690G) reported

    @News4Laughs @CoryBooker Like Shazam & Soetoro's illustrious Service. Wait Shazam was a Draft Dodger,my bad.

  • pdfsyndrome resting esl face (@pdfsyndrome) reported

    using shazam instead of talking to siri or chatgpt or even sending voice messages to friends something thrilling about being told We Couldn't Find It when all i did was expose my soul something about misused purpose and broken output that's warmer than a "real" response could be

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Nzubechi77 @YankhoMayaya @Jeff_Tymer_ Yes, Djimon Hounsou (the Wizard in Shazam) has publicly stated he's underpaid and struggling financially despite his roles in blockbusters. In a 2025 CNN interview, he said, "I’m definitely underpaid." He linked it to systemic issues in Hollywood. Sources: Variety, The Guardian.

  • Andytygafm DJ Andy (@Andytygafm) reported

    @Nx2Mj @NiziU__official @Shazam No problem

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Rod_H_ @Jeane_Dough @hayasaka_aryan Fair point—I relied on the visuals from Blade Runner 2049 and got the song wrong. Shazam correctly IDs it as "Truthhop Music Ya' Heard Beat" by Serf. Shazam's underlying tech (audio fingerprinting) was developed starting in 1999, with the service launching in the UK in 2002 and US in 2004. Your '03 memory is spot on for early adoption.

    Stopped at a stop light and this mf rolled down his window to shazam the music i was playing lmaooo i respect it

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @GnuHighland @JOKAQARMY1 Sorry for the error earlier. After checking again, the background music appears to be a dramatic instrumental track, possibly royalty-free, but I couldn't pinpoint the exact name. You might try Shazam on the video or ask the creator for details.

  • AndyGrail Andy Grail does Grimm's Edge (@AndyGrail) reported

    @restoreZSJL I agree 100%. But there was still a huge problem: Shazam 2, The Flash, Aquaman 2, and Blue Beetle were all far advanced/ready for release. They were all silly and goofy. It was too late to stop the DC comedy-train.

  • ant0492 Shawn Anthony (@ant0492) reported

    @TheJakolanturn @TPUSA Thanks! Shazam was having problems identifying. Are these songs not on Spotify or Apple Music?

  • Thankyoutrees70 E (@Thankyoutrees70) reported

    @BrittRooted Do you know if there is a program of the event. Saw a singer hours ago and can’t find him. Shazam not working

  • melchi84 Mel-PJM (@melchi84) reported

    @PJM_SWITZERLAND The number of Shazams hasn't changed in several hours? Is Shazam not working again?

  • grucciflipfl0ps Grucci ☝️😔 (@grucciflipfl0ps) reported

    @KINGGDC209 @comicaccuracy They made a second Shazam movie, btw. You’re trying to apply logic to a company that has historically made terrible financial decisions for the bottom line of the CEO of that fiscal year.

  • dolleyebaby star ✰ (@dolleyebaby) reported

    @forx_use48471 @baejeanies Spotify is a separate streaming service from Apple Music. You don’t need to have Apple music to be able to stream on Spotify. And if you already have Spotify why would you use Apple? Also he’s not an unknown khia. People don’t need to Shazam. They know him.

  • hyeyoonsol karu (@hyeyoonsol) reported

    i want to find a song shazam is not working listening to discography if its not there i just kill myself

  • grucciflipfl0ps Grucci ☝️😔 (@grucciflipfl0ps) reported

    @JOEMANDIAS WB has rejected tons of scripts that they claimed were terrible and then changed SS16 to the script that we got, made the JL changes, the Flash movie, Black Adam, Shazam 2, and countless more. They’re just a terrible company.

  • Urbaniologist1 Mr B (@Urbaniologist1) reported

    The problem starts when you folks compare the two gentlemen. Give him time. But this thing of he told me, he said that sounds scary. Its like people are running a Shazam shop.

  • sputniksinta ¨̮FREEZE UR NUTS OFF⁷ (@sputniksinta) reported

    heard a kpop song in the wild n lamented not being able to whip my phone out n shazam it but then i heard FIX ON so that narrows it down

  • Modo62170 Modo (@Modo62170) reported

    @theghoulmenace It was good but Rebirth was kind of a letdown looking back, I mean Billy permantly transforming into Shazam off screen after his powers not working the entirety of this movie???

  • trippyy_kittyy 🐈‍⬛⛓️ (@trippyy_kittyy) reported

    edm night at the **********, tryna shazam IDs and it’s not working 😵‍💫

  • TheamazingDrBob The amazing Dr. Bob. (@TheamazingDrBob) reported

    Does anybody know when the beat Shazam game show is coming back? Fox said it was renewed for an eighth season this year. And it was supposed to debut in mid 2025. It’s now October. So, is it coming back, is it only on a streaming service or has it been canceled outright?

  • somzzy_a somsom🫧 (@somzzy_a) reported

    @thebigwinz I kind of but at the same time I can’t ?? I usually shazam songs or write down a lyric in my notes but didn’t have my phone with me and now I can’t remember, it’s so frustrating 😩
