Finding out all 4 of these genre defying masterpieces were flops on release is so disheartening like wow the masses really don't have an ear for good music
English
@DJBattyBoy @PaIIahAbdul Gen Z has created various mainstream popstars. What are u on about?
English
@PaIIahAbdul Bc of social media algorithms, once an artist starts striving to be “mainstream” they begin to flop. Gen Z cannot create a mainstream pop star to save their lives. Everyone must remain niche and ironically popular by mistake/tiktok. Worse for black pop stars. Try next decade.

She’s rap Katy Perry nothing more nothing less
Louie@DJLouieXIV
Vie isn't perfect but it flopping as hard as it did is 1 of the great pop mysteries of the decade to me. She'd had great success with a much more difficult record on the previous one. "Jealous Type" felt like a lay-up, "Gorgeous" also seemed obvious. What's the post-mortem here?

can someone explain this aesthetic

Tyla unveils alternate cover for her new album, ‘A*POP.’ Out July 24th.
English
@sonyabladesbf @jjames23x @camfromstl mind you the album sucks and shows how little she has progressed
English
English
@camfromstl even PF2. Her weakest body of work. N O N E of these new girls even have that in them.

@BecLifeMatters there is a stark difference pre and post Paula. Let’s be real
English
Janet Jackson
BEFORE Paul Abdul
I Don’t Know Why This Narrative That Paula Taught Janet How To Dance Came About But NO!!!
I Think Paula’s Choreography Fitted Perfectly For Janet But Janet Always Had The Moves

i’d love for the white girls to explain their newfound sexy baby obsession

@basil_677 @iamMelsmith Control is heavily indebted to the Minneapolis sound which Prince pioneered
English
@iamMelsmith Its not talked about enough how max martin’s succes in the late 90s / early 00s was directly infkuences by new jack swing which was basically invented with Control.
English
The moment Janet came out with Jam & Lewis in ‘86, she immediately became the taste maker. She became what the future of Black music — and in result, pop music — sounded like. It didn’t matter what her brother released. A huge reason for that WAS Jam & Lewis…
Prince’s legacy.

This is why Brandy is the Vocal Bible. Everywhere you turn there’s another variant of her sound. Then people will say this is Darkchild’s doing, no Brandy is a musical language. The production doesn’t have to be Full Moon and you’ll still hear Brandy’s sound.
Soul Talk, MSW@OpenOfficeHrs
Ahjah Walls studied Brandy DOWN 😩 She better be on that tribute stage BET!!
English
i’ll never get over the fact that she had the most famous brother in the world and never got called ‘Michael’s sister’
the talent, the power.
Redd@ReddCinema
Janet Jackson in 1993 was peak
English
@wavruby @armaanification obviously but she was able to command more power and clarity. why play dumb
English
@armaanification she has hits but her voice has never been anything spectacular why lie
English
me listening to these new singles and trying not to notice her vocal limitations
brody@THELIFEOFABRODY
i don’t want madonna to get old
English
@_Ellimac__ Because she finds inspiration like every other artist on the planet? Y’all are weird
English
Someone said everything she does is derivative of some older media and now that’s all I see
Rolling Stone@RollingStone
Olivia Rodrigo admitted that "multiple songs" on her forthcoming album were inspired by Miranda and Steve on 'Sex and the City." More: rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

@afroallura y'all are so pretentious and annoying like can't a girl have fun and be campy with her tunes. CANCELLED! sounds like it was super fun to make and she clocks some gags in it
English
@scaredycat102 @13ilona89 @cknklolm @VIVIFANGS Rihanna attaining songwriting credits had nothing to do with Taylor, it had to do with her receiving more creative control after a smothering contract
English
@13ilona89 @blaquesdestiny @cknklolm @VIVIFANGS even rihanna eventually got infected. she has credits on all the songs on anti.
now , do I think they are fake no.
but are they likely edits to demos/songwriter camp songs , yes.
English
@13ilona89 @cknklolm @VIVIFANGS She didn’t and They don’t have to prove anything. There are many singers today who exist as performer first.
English
@blaquesdestiny @cknklolm @VIVIFANGS She made it so that every pop star has to be a songwriter or pretend to be a songwriter. It used to be that tons of pop stars got demos from songwriters and recorded their own versions. Like Rihanna did. But now they have prove the songs are really their own.
English
@cknklolm @VIVIFANGS She did not make it popular to be a songwriter. Music did not start in the 2000s
English
@VIVIFANGS Taylor made it popular to be a songwriter so everuone now os trying to write tgeir own shit and its not sounding good because tgey dont have the talent . Like if you cant write a good pop melody tgen its okay to hire other actual songwriters to write it for you

@nicole86054418 @Pray4Success @francemothers Jody was already an it girl before going solo and was very influential in black America
English
@blaquesdestiny @Pray4Success @francemothers But Jody as a solo artists started to get recognized in 88 around the same time Janet album. Janet been out before Jody.
English
The way Jodi Watley was clearly the 80’s pop blueprint —all the girls wanted to sound, look, and act just like her. And she doesn’t get nearly enough credit for all the talent she birthed during that time.

This American singer from Los Angeles released ‘The Way You Love Me’ in 1988. It was #1 on the R&B chart, #1 on the US Dance/Electronic Singles Sales and #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100. She had a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance with this song. 👉🏻 Name the artist.
English
@Pray4Success @francemothers Cherelle and Jody came before Janet
English
@francemothers I would respectfully argue that she followed the Janet Jackson blueprint
English
@DonDadaNYC i need everyone who hated on positions to go to the BACK!! racist white stans refuse to accept that her heart lies with R&B 😭
English
I hope that next project is straight R&B cause yall ain’t appreciate Positions the way I appreciate Positions
