zoldyck Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 5 hours ago, Blue Rose said: I dont understand how stans always blame the artist when this happens. It’s a fact that labels are now obsessed with TikTok. Being on TikTok doesn’t guarantee you’ll have a viral hit and even if you do, it might not translate to streams. It’s not Demi’s job to do any of this. Jason Derulo has been ruining his image and career for Tiktok and all he got after all these years was one viral song that needed BTS to be #1. It’s not worth it its same as performing on award shows/ tv in past. Live performances doesn't guarantee a song would become hit, but it used to give songs some exposure. Live Performances / Radio payola have simply been replaced by TikToks / Paylisting payola. I don't get artists complaining about 10 sec of videos, when in past artists put in work to perform live everywhere for songs to take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is musicians are actually passionate (or so I hope) about performing their new songs live to promote them so the hard work in promoting is worth it to them (or so you’d hope) I’m sure we all understand how social media is now a better and easier way to promote your music but we shouldn’t be dragging artists who don’t want to do that. I hate tik tok and if I was an artist in the industry I wouldn’t want to either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoldyck Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Just now, Pink Ranger said: Difference is musicians are actually passionate (or so I hope) about performing their new songs live to promote them so the hard work in promoting is worth it to them (or so you’d hope) But a live performance isn't just about being passionate about performing, it came with lot of baggage of traveling, labels basically forcing them to perform same singles everywhere, showing up and sitting hours until its their turn to perform, hardcore rehearsal, dealing with back up dancer, composers etc. Most of passionate performers don't even get to perform what and how they want to perform until they reach a certain status like Beyonce or Adele. so complaining about 10 sec tiktoks is weird as hell, when in past it was way harder for artists.

Badgalbriel Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Omg, her poor life. That must be such a tough job. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, Demi. Stay strong, Queen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennywiseTheClown Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Y'all don't get the point, it's not about artists being lazy but about record labels and marketing teams being lazy. Those teams are literally paid to market artists and all they seem to come up with these days is "get a viral tiktok, bye". So they put the only job they are supposed to be doing in the lap of the artist. That's very unfair and I applaud artists who stand up to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydemi Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I would complain too if my label would force me to make tiktok videos knowing that they aren't even willing to spend money on radio and Spotify playlisting. I get it, tiktok has a huge influence on charts today BUT that doesn't excuse their lack of support everywhere else. Demi is doing her part (even if she doesn't like Tiktok, she's still doing it). Now it's time for her shitty label and team to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demi's team has not even sent her latest single to radio but somehow she's the lazy one because she's complaining about how the industry is all about tiktok now. Labels are becoming lazy, not artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Don’t know how to say this nicely but celebrities need to get the **** over it and stop complaining about posting on Tik Tok. If I got paid to post on Tik Tok I wouldn’t be complaining. So whiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At award shows, you are showcasing your talents. On tiktok, you’re being goofy for likes. Ive seen artists (Ed Sheeran, Coldplay etc…) do live concerts on TikTok but those don’t go viral. I doubt Demi’s label would be willing to waste money setting that up. They want her to act like Lizzo, but not all artists are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
