"One of the girls" is the product that marks Jennie's official return to the solo music track after more than 4 years, since "Solo" was released in November 2018. In "One of the girls", Jennie is in charge of the intro (opening) and bridge (late transition/development). The song received many compliments with attractive and easy-to-listen music.

As can be seen, the musical quality and talent of The Weeknd and stars like Jennie and Lily-Rose Depp is undeniable. The soundtrack of The Idol is also a rare plus of this film. Although the music in the movie is extremely attractive, the content of "The Idol" is getting worse and worse with each episode.

As an actor, producer and contributor of script ideas, The Weeknd is considered the main cause of the film being boycotted by critics. Right from the very first episodes, the movie The Idol with The Weeknd's lead actor, Lily-Rose Depp and the participation of Jennie (BLACKPINK) has caused controversy, even receiving many criticisms as obscene, "junk" films. Products"...

Episode 3, which aired earlier this week, continued to inevitably receive negative feedback, even after this episode many viewers announced that they would stop watching because The Idol was having a "going downhill" quality.

Throughout episode 3, the character Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) often dresses "skimmed", there are emotional scenes against Tedros (The Weeknd). Episode 3 is also the episode containing the most criticized lines since The Idol aired so far. It was the scene where a Live Nation rep complained to Jocelyn's manager about her giving him irritable bowel syndrome because there were no new songs, instead filled with bad news in the press. "I'm bleeding more than a kid on Epstein Island," he said.

"Epstein Island" here refers to the private island of Little St. James that billionaire Jeffrey Epstein owned for decades and used it to commit horrific crimes of abuse. Billionaire Epstein has turned this island into a cover for illegal trafficking and abuse activities. In 2019, while awaiting trial for the crimes committed, Jeffrey Epstein sought to end his own life.

After episode 3 of The Idol aired with this line, many American viewers took to Twitter to express their annoyance, even disgust: "Don't make a joke about the abuse issue", "Really." I tried to give The Idol a chance, but episode 3 with that Epstein Island joke ruined it all"... Some even said it was "one of the most disgusting things I've ever done" listen on TV".

The Idol in addition to the "lack of cloth" scenes, the content is also boring and awkward. The film tries to be ironic, but irony needs to be sharp and funny, and The Idol lacks both. One of the most confusing things about The Idol is that it doesn't quite describe why a star like Jocelyn would fall in love with Tedros. Because all he has is the odd rattail hairstyle and swaggering face that appears from beginning to end. With a negative performance, The Weeknd turned Tedros into a less convincing "cardinal".

After what was "enjoyed" from The Idol, the audience commented that they "will never see The Weeknd the same way again". At the same time, they also advised Sam Levinson to see a psychiatrist and The Weeknd should go to acting school, or better yet, just focus on making music.
