KillingYourCareer Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, WeFoundTrouble said: For me, versatility is albums having completely different sounds than other albums in the same artist's discography. I know people here like to say ""Ariana did reggae!!!" because of Side to Side's halftime percussion, but one individual track on one individual album that sounds pretty much the same as the previous album doesn't make the artist versatile in my eyes. Meanwhile, Taylor's career for me is divided into 3 stages. The country-pop era, the POP star era of 1989, reputation, and Lover, all 3 of which sound pretty different from each other imo, and the folkmore era. I think she's always gonna have those country roots, but I think it's great she tries to push that to its limit and then some by weaving through pop, rock, and folk genres. I'm not gonna say she's got "False God as a jazz song!!" or "Don't Blame Me as electro-gospel!!!" when I can just say that folklore sounds nothing like reputation which sounds nothing like 1989 which sounds nothing like Fearless. And unless she somehow makes like an R&B album she will probably never really shed the idea that her country-pop roots are tied to every album The country-pop and pop eras blended into one another almost unnoticeably. Red featured three guitar-pop singles that wouldn't have been out of place as 1989 tracks. She used them to test the ground and see if transitioning to pop would damage her career. She got two big hits and another sizable one, so everything was safe to go pop. Reputation was more of a change, that album is her true transition to pop imo.

UnusualBoy Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 It's harder to name who's versatile. Most of these pop girls serve the same pop music with tiny variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceania Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hiring different writers/producers to incorporate a few foreign elements to blatant pop songs, while still singing everthing the same way is NOT versatility. Like, I've heard people claim that Madonna can do Gospel because of LAP, or recently that Britney can do Ska because of Soda Pop. Having the knowledge to understand different tehcniques and the range to actually apply them both musically and vocally is a RARE talent that only few pop star owns. Out of the ones in the poll, only Gaga deserves to be called versatile...and to a lesser extent Rihanna (vocally) thanks to her carribean influences. I admit I'm not fully familiar with Xtina and Adele so they don't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoldyck Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Adele, Katy and Britney poll result is surprisingly right for ATRL standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmusicisdead Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 the nerve saying Ariana is more versatile than Xtina. Stripped alone is more diverse than Ariana's entire discography o.t. 1. Ariana - her last 3 albums might as well be one long album 2. Adele - but it works for her 3. Katy - P!nk wasn't on the poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lament Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Ariana, Britney and Katy. I know Adele is a MPG but it feels different with her. She would be the least versatile though. Madonna, Xtina, Rihanna and Beyoncé are obviously the most versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenasworld Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Not Lana or Selena but Miley and Xtina there? And Britney is barely making music Musically it's Adele Madonna Katy Britney Conceptually Ariana Adele And that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eli's_rhythm Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Jude said: The lies when Britney, Katy, Xtina, Adele are there. Can you imagine Ariana covering "I Love Rock n' Roll," "Do Somethin," "Work *****," or "Womanizer" with an iota of Britney's attitude? Because one listen to In the Zone will tell you Brit could've carried anything Ariana has done bar her biggest vocal moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy ain't the chameleon y'all seem to think she is I don’t care what you call it, she performed at the Warped tour, Wikipedia literally lists One Of The Boys as pop-rock, soft-rock, power pop and punk-pop record and was compared to Avril Lavigne. Not to speak of her debut album which was both gospel and rock. But sure, whatever fits your narrative I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
