Dionne Warwick Can’t Relate to This Sabrina Carpenter Lyric — Or This Kendrick Lamar Drake Diss Track

Dionne Warwick‘s put decades of hard work into building her career in music. It’s no surprise she doesn’t put up with any nonsense.

The singer rated several popular songs in a segment with NPR titled “Nobody Asked for This (But I’m Gonna Tell You Anyhow),” which she shared on Twitter Friday (Sept. 27).

Giving each track a score between one and five Dionnes, Warwick weighed in on songs from Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter.

Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” — which Warwick pointed out has “almost an ABBA feeling” — got four-and-a-half Dionnes. “She’s got her own thing going on. That’s a wonderful thing,” she said of The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess breakout star.

Charli’s “Guess” got a respectable rating of four, and although Warwick was unfamiliar with Brat Summer, she decided she might be brat herself. “I possibly am,” she said.

Then the next track played, Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with Warwick showing some kind of exasperated expression.

“This is the look of ‘why’?” Warwick said of the Drake diss track, and probably their feud in general. “I don’t think that this should be a public thing.”

“So as far as I’m concerned, I’m not going to rate this one,” she added.

Next up, “Please, Please, Please” got another four-and-a-half out of five rating from Warwick — but Carpenter’s summer smash “Espresso” didn’t quite hit the spot. When asked if the lyric “I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer” resonates with her, she looked away and shook her head.

“That does not resonate with me,” Warwick, a veteran in the industry, quipped.
