stjosephprey4us Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Marina saw her highest commercial success / mainstream impact ONLY when she went blonde (during Electra Heart era). Meanwhile, Katy flops when she’s not a brunette. Why?
AlexStexaul Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 katy’s last single was with black wig she still flopped
ontherocks Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Actually, Marina lost a lot of her old fans from her debut album and was made fun of for going blonde in the UK. That was / is her main market and she never recovered commercially since. The album has a glowing 57 on Metacritic and Clash gave it a shining 1/10 review. Katy simply waited too long, came back with a pretty bad album and her atrocious look was just the icing on the cake.
shookspeare Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 the flaw in your hypothesis is that blonde katy flopped AFTER the soccer mom cut we couldn't unsee it
Badgalbriel Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Eletra Heart Marina's Teenage Dream. Yep, yep. Froot is her Prism. FJ is her OOTB. Love+Fear is her Witness Era Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land is her Smile era. I see it, OP. I really see it. The parallels are just too much.
JoeAg Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 in that regard yeah Love + Fear is her only messy full album though, meanwhile Smile and Witness were both messes for Katy. Marina is a better artist in general, with better lyrics and instrumental and vocal talents. no hate to Katy though, i love a lot of what she’s done and i respect her legacy, especially with the masterful Teenage Dream
