Justin Hawkins does a pretty good analysis of Harry Styles and his reductive lead single here:

 

I thought he was very generous with some of the things he said. The actual musical analysis starts at around 2:40 and the part about Harry's red catsuit starting at 7:02 was good fun too. But overall he was quite kind to Harry.

 

Of course, Harry isn't the first to use "Take On Me" as inspiration for his lead single, but we know what happened to an earlier "Take On Me" inspired song when the Grammy nominations were announced. Perhaps "As It Was" will succeed where the other one didn't.

I fully came in here to reference Madonna dragging Gaga, but this isn’t really much of a drag. Harry’s vocals are different and his whole stage persona and presence is different. I do feel like Harry is still growing into his own person/artist especially since his material is different from the one direction material where he was forced to be a cookie cutter persona, but he’ll get there. 

Get him jade

I really hope Mr Style's fame is soon up

True. Harry doesn’t excel at anything at all. He just resembles other artists. Very mediocre and unoriginal.

I agree

Madonna v Gaga teas...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJuYjtp70jc

 

But waaaay shadier: "he doesn't sing like me or move like me"  

 

well Madonna couldn't come close to sing as good as Gaga so that would have been far-fetched

I still believe Madonna did this for PR and to promote her album... the way she ran to her afterwards and has been begging for pictures with an Academy Award she never had

 

 

OT: I mean, Harry is def not ORIGINAL but it's not like he pretends he is

ha generosity knows no boundaries i fear.

 

OT

 

REDUCTIVE will forever be the most terrifying word of all time.

Ignoring how ignorant and delusional it is to say Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are "forgotten", they have 20M+ monthly listeners on Spotify and their last tour, which ended in 2021 (that's last year for the numerically challenged) grossed $550 million, so even with stan wars'd receipts which seem so ludicrous when discussing a mega iconic band like Rolling Stones in the first place, no, not forgotten or washed up at all.

 

Now WHO the flying **** that is in your avatar, THAT is the question we need an answer to. Because I don't know.

He didn’t lie 

 

ZZZzzz. Just another Madonna situation. Pathetic old people. 

"He looks like me but doesn't move or sound like me"

 

That isn't a drag.

I would like to think you were equally as vocal about Elton attacking Madonna on various occasions, but something tells me otherwise.

OT. The Rolling Stones are fantastic and Mick's way above all this nonsense.

 

I've been saying this since his debut album dropped. His whole brand and image are like second hand Mick Jagger but without the swagger
