Mic drop[edit]

Judy Garland[edit]

Mic drop[edit]

Did the X factor singer mason noise make the whole mic drop a world wide sinario. I'm in my fifties and have never seen it so viral as it is now. 80.192.190.230 (talk) 00:06, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article being used for advertising?[edit]

The "External Links" section includes a link to a website that sells microphones made for dropping. Is that appropriate? 216.49.138.181 (talk) 00:44, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
