ONG LMAO

Of course, but if you really are an artist and not just someone who wants to be famous, then thats not a mistake you'd make more than once.

Britney is the biggest example to me. The moments she does what's SHE wants are her most fan and critically loved. However her charisma and personality shines so hard that she made bubblegum pop hers in the 90s. I want her to continue in the lane of glory and chase what SHE wants. Shes always experimented but it's like her label and team is scared of her and thus control every aspect of her career and life. Same went for MJ especially when he owned alot of sonys catalog, prince during the symbol era, and george michael suing his label

A TRAP! The trap that has a lot of artists suffer, be it the ones who don't sell whose dreams were rearranged into a frankenpopstar that couldn't do anything effective or the ones who hit the big time and therefore have their money eaten by labels trying to pay themselves back for frankenmessing up other people's dreams. A TRAP!

@@nehemiahsaycsar I don't think she's a good example. No matter what Britney releases, whether it be herself or something that was sent to her and she has to record, it always sells because she always takes it to the next level.

Makes me wonder if shed ever had tons of devoted fans, or tons of devoted lady gaga haters

I just think Katy flopped heavily after Prism era tbh. Stuff wasn't the same. Didn't get the vibes I got from TGIF and Hot N' Cold.

@@FlyingCookie13 yeah

i was a loyal fan base lol

Mainly because Max Martin stopped writing for her and focused on Ariana Grande

And that is why the korean pop industry is thriving. They use techniques to make sure parasocial relationships are very extreme to make their songs sell and it works. I love the “they’re not selling music, they’re selling human beings”, it describes this industry very well.

having a loyal fan base is what gonna make you last not tiktok hits thats facts

Yes!!! For example, Michael Jackson is from the late 60s but his fanbase is so loyal and protective to this day and he is gaining more younger generations fans. They are keeping his albums still on the charts, his sales and streamings are way ahead compared to other legacy artists like Madonna, Prince, and more than some current successful artists. So, fanbase does play a role in artists' relevancy.

yes!! I read that his album thriller sold 100,000 copies in 2021 alone and is in the top 20 of best-selling physical albums of 2021 so far. And most of his hits are still floating around in different charts around the world.

thats why bts is thriving, also it's normal for artists who are more dependant on the gp to have a massive hit followed by a not so successful song but I've noticed that bts never had that, each release is bigger than the previous and it's thanks to their stans

If she just mixed Mona Lisa properly and used her actual voice I just know it would have been a top 5 hit

@@malou1563100%. I Just wish all of those years of baby voice singing wouldn't have screwed up her natural voice but it did. Really hopes she can do what she wants to soon.

@@nadia2134 IDK, I live on the west coast of U.S. and Prisoner, mostly, played all the time on the radio as well as Midnight Sky on heavy rotation on a couple stations.

@@aaliyahfoster2705 well that’s nice to hear, it’s what she deserves

EXACTLY

Marina! I can respect that she has always just made the kind of music she wants and hasn’t tried to follow trends. She’s honestly amazing.

She might not have a billboard top 40 hit but in Europe marina has had hits on various charts. Here in Ireland she’s always charted with her albums and singles. Everytime im in the car recently her song Ancient dreams in a modern land is on the radio.

I love Marina, but I feel like she didn't even try with her latest album. It feels like she just threw something together and said, "Good enough." So many of the lyrics are just cringy and lack her typical wit and charm. I'll just keep playing "Love+Fear" until the next one.

@@IsomerMashups ancient dreams in the modern land is pretty good it’s definitely top 3 in her discography the lyricism isn’t cringe it may sound like it or maybe a just a bit repetitive but ancient dreams in a modern land is like a mixture of family jewels and Electra heart.

@@alexhong9119 yeah, she's produced literally everything after her debut album (she wasn't allowed to be a producer on her debut album) Edit: And the fact that she's such a consistent and great producer despite not playing any instruments adds to the talent she has

I agree. But I can picture her making another catchy pop hit but with the lyrical content of folklore/evermore. I can't imagine her making any more lyrically basic catchy hits like Me or Shake It Off.

Ppl dont leave her fanbase because she makes ridiculously catchy and good songs. Every song on her albums are extremely personal and she takes it very seriously so we know that it's not just some songwriter writing for her and shes just the face. Her fanbase grew slowly as well. The same didn't happen with katy perry, kesha, lady gaga, Avril lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, etc was because they were just the face. Nothing was entirely personal at all. Dua lipa is kinda in the same league.

@@clayen19 dude I'm the biggest avril fan ever. And I love old hits of gaga but she doesn't have the same craze as before. Lets be honest. Although I'm not a swiftie I gotta say taylor has consistent fame throughout. Like shes had parallel fame along katy, gaga, kesha, jb, then 1D, then ariana grande, dua lipa, billie eilish. The only one comparable to her is selena and nicki in terms of a decade long relevance. Then of course u have male stars like ed sheeran, drake, maroon 5 but idk about them. Edm guys like chainsmokers, zedd , martin garrix have their own fame. I dont rlly know.

I mean, the genres she touched aren't so different and usually tend to go hand in hand with each other. But, it's still fascinating that she is always at the top, and hasn't had that big of a low point

@@freddysamjacob363 yeah but how many pop artists have done country music? Or pop artists doing indie? It's rare nowadays considering she switches genres like every 3 albums or so. Her songwriting is always pop driven (except in folklore and evermore) but it's impressive nevertheless

@@candelajordi7703 Yeah. It's still great that she can do what she does. Also, Now I feel like Olivia Rodrigo is trying to come up with a similar range of influences with a different aesthetic, and I feel like she's succeeding as well, Which is a big achievement for Taylor, as she has inspired it

@@freddysamjacob363 yeah I totally feel that too

Jason doesn't really stand out. He's way too similar to other artists like chris brown, trey songz etc.

@@blueisblue599 agree , he's got few hit song and popular in tiktok and meme,but his voice and appearance singular to other black rapper/singer such as usher,taio cruz

Atleast Chris Brown stands out, you can kinda see the passion he has in his Music and when he performs sometimes

king of pop for a reason

Freddie M was too. Prince too. Madonna too(although maybe not as talented as the others lol), James brown(MJ's idol) too, beyonce too, lady gaga too, can name quite a few ppl tbh its not rare to be amazingly skilled in all those three fields but to be as good as Jackson in all of the three things? yea thats quite rare.

PERIODTTTT

@@NotJoegoldberg cause they had qualities and a personality that stood out. They stood their ground and had music that stood out and said something. Like britney makes POP but she has her own distinct way of performing

MJ's talent was beyond himself. Michael Jackson was a virtuoso composer & an excellent songwriter despite being unable to read music or play instruments well. He wrote the parts to his songs by singing & beatboxing into a tape recorder and thus created the melodies and composition. The guy's a dead set genius.

Exactly

i’d say there’s about the same amount of kpop artists writing their own music as pop artists. in most cases, the standards are way higher for kpop performances than western ones, so they put a lot of work into their music regardless of if they write it or not

Yes, just like Ariana,Justin, Rihanna, but korean artists also do crazy choreography

@@radhikaananthasubramaniam2037 still. I guess its a matter of opinion but I consider artists who aren't great songwriters and vocalists and are just good performers to be a tier lower than singer-songwriters(good ones). A lot of people can perform well lol, a lot of people can dance just as good as if not maybe even better than most(most is keyword here not all) Kpop idols especially if they get the same training they did lol but being a great singer-songwriter nowadays is v rare and imo is a much more note-worthy skill than just being good performers, on top of that not ALL Kpop artists are great performers, only v few are. I did watch a lot of them perform and only v few idols' dancing was 'great' most idols' dancing was just above average and some are just average. I heard that they are extremely charismatic and have amazing stage presence, so I watched videos of them and could literally feel nothing..NOTHING! zero charisma, I'm pretty good at sensing charisma, imo charismatic performers would be elvis, Michael Jackson, prince, Diana ross, James brown, Freddie mercury, beyonce, Britney during her prime, madonna during her prime etc. but when I watched Kpop artists perform I never sensed or felt any charisma or magnetism oozing out of them and their stage presence was quite average or just bad, only vvv few were actually rlly charismatic and had good stage presence most of them are just overhyped by the fans I feel like. And I do know that there are a few Kpop artists who are good vocalists, songwriters and performers, they have my respect and I think they are great but I'm talking about the ones who are mainly only performers and are average in the other fields, cuz theres a lot of em in Kpop and the ones who do more than just perform are kinda rare.

That’s it!

Plus, she doesn't just stick to music. She's ventured into the film industry and the beauty industry as well.

He literally introduced dark music to the industry and changed r&b

ALSO let's talk about how she improved so much vocally, starting from lover/reputation era. She has explored her lower register in her recent works (folklore, evermore, fearless tv) and she sounds so good. she's definitely so underrated as a vocalist. her songs are so wordy which require exceptional breath control and she performs them with the right amount of emotions

She has improved so much, and she can do different things stylistically. I think when she started out she wasn’t a great vocalist, but these days I would say she definitely is. Evermore and Folklore are such soothing listens.

I think she is not a good singer at all. she is acceptable but she is either tone deaf or lacks talent/technique to sing. Incredible songwritter tho

5:49 That section of the video is for you. You carefully phrased your statement but what you're trying to say is still pretty clear.

nope. taylor is a very mediocre singer. pick a random person off the street and they can sing as well as if not better than taylor. before autotuned mics were popular we could hear how off-pitch her vocals were. she's a D list singer for a reason.

Right. If she tries a little bit more, she could have a dua lipa kinda turnaround/vibe

I think Bebe needs to try to leave her label, she's already a big enough artist that if she releases an independent album it'll probably have some success or at least as much as her last album. Selena just isn't fit for the music industry imo, she has millions of dollars and plenty of people on her team, she has no excuse at this point to be as bland and generic as she is. If she wants to continue music she really should join a band again because that was the only time her music shined.

It’s all down to Bebe’s label. They are screwing her over. She has so much potential. I love Selena, her music has never been groundbreaking but she knows how to make a bop. I want to see a more “bad girl” side of her, like what we got a glimpse of with Fetish and Bad Liar. I think she needs a “reputation” type era

@@RoKer13 I think Rare would have done better with different artwork (like the deluxe artwork rather than the standard one) and more and better single choices. The first two singles were good (although releasing Look At Her Now right after Lose You to Love Me set the former up for failure). Rare (the song) should have never been a single. There are so many great songs like Dance Again and Ring that would have been terrific singles. Also Souvenir from the deluxe is a brilliant song - wasted potential. Idk why they picked Boyfriend as the deluxe single, that is a terrible song. I really like Selena, but she definitely has to take control of her music career a little more. Revalacion is a beautiful EP and she hasn’t really tried to promote any of the songs at all other than the music videos.

@@annnyala she needs to leave her label and pursue her dream of releasing rock music! She can definitely carve out a niche for herself and make it big, especially considering her songwriting and producing abilities

Taylor's vocal range is A2 - G5 - D6. It's 3 octaves and a perfect fourth.

Because nobody tries to imitate Taylor in the first place lol

thats why nobody wants to have any impressions of taylor's voice is because her voice isnt that interesting and distinct for other singers to copy lmao and she isnt really known as a really vocally talented singer like ariana and mariah and whitney etc. and she has no unique singing style while the singers you mentioned has a very specific way of singing and you will instantly know its them while taylor's voice sounds like any untrained singers out there

@@vinuthna3135 Well, I think “Revival” was a good album for her, but I thought “Rare” was more generic.

@Celia Yota She has many good preformances that are overshadow by like 15 bad and people who bully her. That's probably why she's not longer feeling confident in all of that.

@@vinuthna3135 I think that’s because in the 10+ years of her singing career, she hasn’t improved her voice(even before she had lupus and her other issues she never seemed to improve) So I guess the public is just tired of that. it doesn’t add up if you wanna be taken seriously as a singer but almost every time you sing live, it’s lipsync or it’s a below average performance.

@Lex Baker Yea and it also just makes the loyal fans you do have feel bad if something "flops". As a singular fan you cant do much about it and it kinda hurts when one of your favorite musicians always makes you feel down bc your support was "not enough". You should really focus on the fans and community you do have. Like, Im sure there are absolute Bebe Rexha STANS out there - but always setting unrealistic streaming/views goals and posting about not reaching them really sucks the entertainment and genuine passion for music out of an artist - it destroys the illusion and people just start to follow someone else.

yeah tbh it kinda made her look ungrateful

right.. she was dubbed as a mariah rip off at the start of her career but i think when she started caring less about vocals and more about the artistry (sweetener) the gp recognised her

exactly, the only thing that kinda bothers me about her is the singles choises, she always chooses the songs that will perform better in pop radio. she should try something different for the upcoming album (which is rumored to be produced by the neptunes)

@Watermelon Ice It does showcase her vocals but differently. I get what you mean because she's not constantly belting like she used to do. And while I do miss that, there are other ways to showcase your vocal talent. On her most recent albums her lows, her whistles and her HARMONIES are showcased a lot. That's another aspect of her vocals. Also it's not like she completely stopped doing the type of singing I think you're reffering to. On "Off the table", "My hair" or "POV" she is singing singing but unlike her previous albums, she is not doing this on nearly every song so I do get what you're saying.

yes!!! She's only getting better and better. Lets hope she crafts her songwriting skills and improves her enunciation (since those are the two things people usually criticize for) and she'll become a descript artist

@Watermelon Ice i respectfully disagree with this one. Ariana uploaded some bts of her making positions (song) and it amazed me how she used her VOCALS and layer it on her songs to make it more beautiful. Mariah, Beyoncé and Ariana are some of the few artists that uses vocal layering on their songs.

This channel is far less biased than the Grammys lol

YES THEIR SO HEAVENLY 🙌 🤤

Absolutely!! Her voice is getting better and better

That’s why I like Mariah better than Whitney and Celine

doesnt every artist do that?

Every artists other than rappers do that

@who r u literally any other artist. Ariana has written songs about heartbreak, love, anxiety, law of attraction, not caring about others, love story about her grandparents etc. And there are other artists too.

@who r u no tears left to cry, breathin, shut up, I don't care, be alright, break free, daydreamin, just like magic etc are all about different topics other than love and heartbreak. These are some of her best songs too.

that's definitely how she first caught attention. people found her unique and interesting because she was a country girl singing and writing about being a teen girl. but that is definitely not a unique thing to her in the general music industry, especially in pop, and isn't the sole reason as to why she holds that strong connection to her audience.

Also, Billboard doesn't really mean commercial success. There are plenty of artists that never chart but still earn comfortable amounts of money.

Dua isnt just a performer she has writing credits on pretty much all of her songs.

Don’t forget Mariah 😉

Lady Gaga is the mix between Singer-Songwriter-Performer...

Ariana isn't just a performer, she is a songwriter too. People who have worked with her always praise her songwriting

makes sense!

Why Taylors name there? She had a publishing deal for songwriting before she had a recording deal… She was the youngest artist to sign with Sony.

@@isadoramoscardini6393 But was she giving out her songs and writing along with other songwriters and/or artists for anyone that wasn’t her? No.

Honestly, though, that IS the mold for a lot of songwriters-turned-solo artists. Think Skylar Grey, Tove Lo, Victoria Monet or even Lady Gaga...all started off writing for others. It's a very common "next move" for pop writers.

Carlos Asan yes she was writing songs with other people. Its Nashville. But she was like 12/13 i dont know if country male singers would sing her songs 🤷🏻‍♀️

BMTH is literally so influential. People judged them for switching up their sound a bit but they never lost their touch. Forever icons :)

@@Cris-ek1nh Yep, after That’s The Spirit, almost every band in that scene wanted to try their hand at whatever BMTH was doing, some really good (The Devil Wears Prada’s The Act, this year’s Architects album), some atrocious (This year’s A Day To Remember album, Bullet For My Valentine’s Gravity)

I love them! Hey

bring me the horizon is my favorite band along with QUEEN and post human is a musically and lyrically incredible but I disagree when you say that it deserves AOTY I think folklore by Taylor Swift was the best choice for AOTY but I was really angry when it didn’t even get nominated at all

I haven't listened to BMTH since middle school, but I'm extremely happy for them. I hope they get bigger, because they deserve it. Hell, now I wanna check out their newer songs.

i forgot about her tbh

Tori Kelly has outstanding singing talent. She's just underrated. Non-descrip artists neither has outstanding vocals nor great songwriting skills.

Agreed! she is very underrated and totally deserves more recognition.

She is UNDERRATED because she refused to be a popstar. She didn't want to sing mainstream radio hit.

Tori Kelly falls in the same category as Demi Lovato in my mind. Great voice, but she lacks the songwriting talent outside of a couple of well written songs. Artist like Lorde, Taylor Swift and Lana del Ray aren't the best singers, so they had to hone their songwriting talents to get where they are. Tori and Demi never had to do that and instead rely on their amazing voices, which shows in their songwriting.

Tori Kelly has a great voice but her music sucks imo.

I agree with you. I think Justin Bieber should mostly fit in the non descript category because I don’t think he is an interesting artist.

Justin is definitely a non-descriptive artist. I think his success comes from setting the standard of social media breakout stars as well as setting so many trends. People also grew up with him and he had basically no competition/peers like him when he debuted. His vocals, songwriting and performing is decent but not enough to be respected.

@@bratzscene3131 That’s completely true. The few main sources of his success was definitely lack of real competition in his age group at the time and a massive social media following.

Is he a songwriter? I highly doubt so. To me, he is down there with Maroon 5. No real substance but have a couple of safe, generic hits under their belt that the general public only listens to for nostalgia, nothing else.

@@voxtur__7 Exactly, I would categorize Justin in almost the same category as Maroon 5. Not very interesting but has a bunch of hits that are generic.

Wait really?? Woah...

her label is holding her back :c, she wanted to do a rock album and they wouldn't let her!!

@@elkotekote she would slay a rock album!!

She said that she is going to release a very mainstream album recently

@@alexhong9119 well fuck. There goes the rock album dream 😭

@@TheCaliforniaboy1 ohh, i mean charli

Lol but her enunciation is quite good in her recent live

Yea, spelling is fun

@@psycopscyo3119 you just proved their point by mentioning a pop hit by her

@@karthkrish2670 me he he

Yeah.. I still can't listen to soon you'll get better and Ronan without crying. She makes me feel things i personally never went through.

I don't get that argument either because her singles are still good? Like Shake It Off still sounds fresh. Blank Space is like her most streamed song. And Love Story is over a decade old and people still lose their shit over that song.

who

When she just tweeted all of that the other day, I was shook. So terrible that they did that to her

@@ti4383 why do companies do this?? Like give the artist a fighting chance at least . They may be small now but they can slowly progress later in their careers

Yup

@@ti4383 who is that

@@narru9603 but that wasn't the first time she has done that tho. Bey is talented for sure but isn't really creative and often gets her ideas from other people that aren't known and claims those ideas as her own. 🤷🏾‍♀️

She's a nondescript artist as well.

@@aleliahhh exactly it’s not the 1st time also she’s signed to her husbands label 😂😭 probably has the most control out of anyone over her work & still decided to be dishonest I still think she’s talented but I can’t respect her as much for lying

@@Michelle-do1ui exactly people always seem to make excuses for her but bash other folks who do the same.. Bey is talented but not creative enough to come up with her own ideas.

@@aleliahhh there’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking inspiration but to just flat out steal other peoples work & claim it as your own I can’t respect that & it blows my mind people just let her get away with it 😳 & unfortunately she’s not the only 1 Jenifer Lopez doesn’t even sing her earlier tracks 😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️

I think Zara is a great performer. She can dance very well.

I also wondered why Zara and Daya didn't become bigger considering the fact that they both had successful hits.

Zara is known for her singing talent

Zara has MAD pipes and can dance the house down, her label and poor promo is what’s holding her back

also, at least for me she is trying too much to give a latinoamerican vibe and it's not working

@@loretohidalgo3533 yess, it’s sad that con altura, yo x ti, tu x mi, la noche de anoche and others got more attention than pienso en tu mirá, malamente, di mi nombre. smh

Yes it so sad. I keep hoping with each single release that something would blow me away. But they’ve just been songs made for the charts.

@@nadia2134 i definitely agree, El Mal Querer was fully inspired by Flamenco which really suited her well, it was refreshing and could’ve been the “it” thing for her but she started leaning more into the Reggaetón style which was kind of unfortunate tbh, El Mal Querer is one of my fav albums

Same I hope she goes back to her sound for her upcoming album

💀💀💀💀

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

We all love her!!

Yes a writer, producer and star rated vocalist 🤩

Yesss

Purrrrrrrr💋💕💅🏼

the legend does it all!

agreed 100%

This is what I found in BTS’ music, plus greatly in-depth lyricism. Been a casual listener of whatever music that will come noticeable and catch my attention (Also, I’m not a person who looks out and follows trend). Let say it has a nice beat and melody, it will stay in my ears and I will sing it whether it’s an artist from my home country or international but usually at most it stays as that, just in my ears. What I would say that I love the song if it is something that had touched me emotionally at a certain extent, and this is quite rare, and I’m not really into songs about love which is what most of the songs are all about nowadays. At first it was like that with BTS coz I only usually hear the popular ones i.e. title tracks and I was not paying attention to the lyrics. I’ve been aware of BTS for 2 yrs and been a casual fan until I encountered a comforting melody which apparently their B-side song, I searched for that and found the lyric video and then… I was a crying mess, then I had a BTS b-sides buffet, it was a roller coaster of emotions, diss tracks to comfort songs with diverse genres, that’s when I’ve become so invested in learning about them and became an army. I’m not sure if you’re already familiar with them, if people are wondering why they have a huge loyal following across generational and cultural borders all around the world is because of their music which grows along with the group members being artists and as regular people that are members of a society, thereby making a lot of people relate to it, not to mention the guys were very down to earth. Their lyrics are like thinkpieces abt societal issues, self-reflection which contains their own dilemmas and struggles, diary or anecdote, self-love and self-acceptance, motivational speech etc. They are best at turning sorrow into hope through their music which have helped and healed a lot of people. They are very honest and sincere which were evident in their music, performances, and reality shows. Not to mention, they are great great performers. Oh my…I’m sorry, 😅 I probably already have blabbered a lot. And I still have so much to say. If you are interested about each member’s writing style just search “BTS Writing Styles” by mera. The members’ writing styles is as diverse and distinct as each member’s personalities and their style is really a mirror of their personality (or at least on how I see them). On additional note, they treat hit songs as a means rather than an end. Because they are album-centered and telling a cohesive story, they lure people with their title tracks or singles that are usually upbeat with choreo that has a high chance of being a hit song, and then seal the deal with the b-sides. As Suga (a member) said, if we listen to BTS music without prejudice, we will like it. People will definitely find something they like in their 230+ songs in their discography not including solo mixtapes and soundcloud releases which varies in genre and lyrical topic. Also if you ever want BTS songs/performances recommendations, it’s my pleasure to share.

The kpop stans disagree

@@jalapeno1119 k-pop exactly replicates the early 2000s pop with catchy songs and attractive faces.

The fact that she was so brave to go IG Live too until the ummm... disnick pic incident.

I'm not surprised considering that song she called "I'm a mess" pretty sad lyrics on the ppl that were/is in her circle

i mean, there's nothing really to talk about their rise tho. they competed in Eurovision 2021 and won the competition.

they are not very "new" they became a band in 2016 or 2017... I mean he should talk about them yeah sure but to catch also on that genre more then just on mansekin. sorry for bad english

I found out about them when they won the Eurovision song contest this year.

@@marinaradosavljevic4828 well, they are new on a global level

@@qdominika7253 that's true but as a band they are like few years old

What a 🐐🔥

Michael Jackson was the greatest vocalist and performer! Unfortunately, MJ did NOT write or produce the bulk of hie catalog. Rod Temperton wrote most of his songs, and as everyone knows, Quincy Jones was his long time producer and arranger.

@@ginoblackofficial Rod wrote most of the songs for Off the Wall but other than that Michael wrote almost all his hit songs and co-produced a lot too

@@lizhernandez6958 devante swing from Jodeci also written and produced for Michael aswell...

@@ginoblackofficial Stop your hating and lies. The post literally says MJ is inducted into songwriting hall of fame… if rod wrote most of MJ music, why would MJ be inducted? It’s common knowledge that MJ wrote MOST of his hits songs. And Co produce along side Quincy as well. Quincy never had to produce any of Michael’s album alone, without MJ contribution as a producer. Aside his own music, MJ also wrote and produce for other artists too. If you don’t know, you better find out.

Yeah, they should trust their artists more instead of trying to mold them into something they are not/dont want to.

I mean 1989 was totally out of the trend of 2014. At the time rnb and edm were still the trend along with what was left of bubblegum pop, but Taylor made an 80s synth record and gave another push to pop music

@@lukesays2018 You're Right she did bring back Pop, and 1989 was an experimental album with the genres of Dance-Pop, Synth-Pop, Electro-Pop, Dream-Pop, Ballad-Pop, and Pop-Rock she didn't just stay in the safe lane, and record one genre, she did it all with that album, and I don't know if you remember, but people were even doubting her as a lyricist because of Bad Blood, and Shake It Off, but when she released Blank Space (A Lyrical Pop Masterpiece) people saw that just because she switched up genres, she still possessed that lyrical charm

@Kevin Philip Quinn first of all, the original comments weren’t hateful nor slanderous to begin with, SO WHAT NOW people can’t edit or alter their words that they may have misspelled, who do you think you are? 🤨🤨🤨

Fr, I remember how sick I got of Edm and 1989 saved me lol it was like the light out of the radio and pathed the way for many others.

💯

No you’re definitely right, I understand what you’re saying

A lot these songs & producers already had things made

yeah like she KNOWS how she wants to be portrayed. i think she rejected Same Old Love? which was a hit at the end but she didn't think it fit her well

@@narru9603 that comparison isn’t fair. im not even a fan of tswift and i can see her influence in pop culture, but to compare her to THE standard of music for a lot of people….. u must be smoking and drinking

@@narru9603 r u kidding me? its already been 10 years and nobody gives a flying fuck ab taylor, to this day i listen to raspberry beret and rock with you and i’ve heard their songs all my life. taylor should be compared to people in her echelon of music or at least her genre.

@@narru9603 She's a great songwriter but let's be honest when have you seen swift give an amazing game changer, bar raising live performances? When have you seen swift give a vocal performance that would give you goose bumps? Never. She's is a singer/songwriter. MJ and Prince wrote their songs as well as gave an amazing live performances

@@narru9603 just to me she isn’t the best performer

@@narru9603 taylor swift fans being loud and wrong as usual

#pawsup 💕

And she is also an amazing actress, that’s crazy in fact ! ( even if the video is about music)

@@ts9517 Yeah, she will probably get nominated for best actress oscar for the SECOND time in TWO movies she was in. And she has a golden globe too, for her first acting in a tv show. Like... who does that?

Unfortunately she is no longer a superstar like 2009 and 2010 and although talented, her discography is all over the place and doesn't have a big fan base hence her tours dont make massive numbers with less show, but at least she is respected and talented

@@realdavidjones1623 numbers aren't the most important, buuut after 10 years she still had one of the most popular songs ever with shallow (and some others) okay its from a soundtrack, but she did another hit with rain on me. I don't think she does it for the numbers... her albums were never *shallow* full with super generic songs made for the radios, when she COULD do it easily

I know she started with ‘So High’ but ‘Moo!’ was her breakout is what I meant.

She got popular with moo

She did though, that was her first hit even if she was making music before

Y’all should check out trauma by Doja cat . That’s how I discovered her

@@gabyanahisoto she did got quite the following on her soundcloud.

shes like the biggest western artist everywhere. also didnt i argue w u on ariana before?

@@iya923 lmao i don't remember😭

@@sanjana7363 im 99% sure we did but at least we can agree that taylor is the music industry

She's an average performer, and a bad singer compared to other artists in her league, but her songwriting and sales are without a doubt respectable.

@@bunnywavyxx9524 ummm taylor is known for her stage presence and her vocals have improved greatly over the years. your point?

YES 👏

@Motown Gayes Beyoncé image has always been the same since DC. But she did do a rebrand for self titled "Beyonce' album where she was more sexy and risque than before. And yes Rihanna rebrand was from a good island girl to badgalriri for the gggb album

@Motown Gayes that’s what that person said though. Cardi b is funny and charismatic, but her rapping sucks and her constant use of ghost writers to write her hits.

Wait, "Goodbye Lullaby" flopped???? That is my only no-skipped alb of her lol

Tinashe is so underrated wtf

@@sixevening4649 facts people need to stop sleeping on her they missing out

I think her route is similar charli xcx. She has a loyal fanbase who will still listen. I listened to her previous album which had really good songs.

Yea, i barely knew her since Whitney mariah just what everyone's talking about but i love her song tho white flag is my favourite

YES

she literally uses black women to write her music and never gives them credit. jlo is more of a dancer i think that’s why people see her as a performer.

YES!

@@sofia-rp4yz I also saw a video that showed that she was using Black women's vocals in many of her songs, especially from her first few albums. She rarely, if ever, gave these women credit.

That’s so true ! She came a long way, sometimes it’s crazy to think she’s the same person that played Hannah Montana

@@masillah1018 exactly!!

But she cultural appropriated and for some reason never apologized

@@mewesquirrel6720 I agree with you 100%. But that's a whole different conversation. My comment was about how she was assertive in making a turning point in her career to change her image.

@@marianasaraiva8728 oh yes I agree
