I knew it!! It was giving Gaga since I saw the preview

The Skye Riley EP is amazing, i want more music from Naomi Scott, i’ve been listening to her for years

[BlackSabbathfan]

Naomi Scott is already a singer in real life, so hopefully this film will help her launch a mainstream singing career. Also it's funny to see her on the Drew Barrymore show.

I always thought her character's look was similar to Gaga's 2017 Super Bowl look.

I forget Naomi is British. She's so underrated. She was phenomenal in Aladdin and was hilarious in Charlie's Angels.
She can sing, dance and act. Triple threat!!!

It’s slept on Naomi has her own amazing indie pop music out there in the world.
And after Aladdin she was recruited to be an Angel for Charlie.
She’s done a lot but this is coming back from a break with a massive bang.
Love this for her.

I was getting GaGa and Rhiana vibes. I will see this movie at least two more times. 🤩🤩🤩

[cedriccrawford]

The vibes were DEFINITELY Gaga and Naomi is gorgeous!

[gogosegaga]

It really does have that Gaga/Rihanna inspiration but Naomi brought Skye Riley alive and was so so good in this film.

Let us not forget the pink ranger aswell. Man wish we got a part 2

[EagerCompass-mmgj]

When i saw the trailer on screen for Joker, I almost thought the Gaga part showed up.

[VictoriaOtto]

She should be in Scream 7. Her acting is of Oscar worthy. Her performance in Smile is really, really great. You can feel the character (Skye Riley) she played. Please Naomi Scott for Scream 7. Maybe she could be the daughter of Gale Weathers or Sydney Prescott. Please I want her in the Scream Franchise badly.

I had no idea she was princess Jasmine wow so talented. She definitely caught my attention this time around for sure.

I got more Miley Cyrus vibes from Skye

[XavierSkyy]

people talk about the different pop stars that were references for the character but some of the music actually reminds me of early madison beer (dear society/her first album)

[gabbyb]

Lady Gaga wishes she was in this instead of that Joker 2 trainwreck 😂😂😂😂😂😅

[JBalmoreS]

For those who wish Naomi Scott did more horror, check out the podcast/audio drama, 'Soft Voice' where she plays as a schizophrenic.

[mnlghtba]

2:17 um she was a pop star in another life. in lemonade mouth duhhh.

[anoenymous]

looks more similar to miley's bangerz era and some of katy perry's witness era

[drixcaster]

Probably Naomi Scott is the only artist that I know who engage the interviewer to the conversation and it flows naturally. She legit deserves an award after that wild performance in Smile 2.
