Imagine willingly posting something this dumb for all to see…. :clown:

avril is an icon of an era for the kids of that generation. Nelly furtado always has been a kinda of non factor, expect for continental europe maybe. She got some hits, like fergie did, but no one when rethinks to the past thinks they were "my youth".

You act like Kelly's new  singles can debut on  Hot 100 :rip:.  And US market isn't even Avril's main one :rip: .  

 

Yeah,.  Kelly  is the bigger nam. That's why she sells less,  has  less  streams and has less fans. :clap3:.

Because avril tried and failed to stay in the spotlight

While nelly stopped caring

didn't Nelly basically choose to disappear? I don't think this is a fair comparison

Was it that unexpected? She took years to follow up with Loose and it wasn't the best material either. And if she did care about commercial success she could have tried to do a re-release or new album with an undeniable smash but she left again and then just went more and more indie. 

Everyone was  shook  with  Nelly  Furtado's  numbers  in  2012.  And  she  went  down  from  an  arena  touring  artist  to perform  in some bars with  500 seats. Anyway,  i  didn't  mean  to  shade  or anything but that's  what really happened. 

 

OT:  Avril  had  3  massive  eras  and  brought  pop/rock into mainstream.  She did make  profound contribution for pop/punk  genre while Nelly  Furtado enjoyed one massive era but she did not  bring  anything new to music  scene.  

 

Besides,  i  believe  that  when  we  talk  about early 2000s female acts, Avril  is only  behind few acts such as Bey, Shakira,  P!nk  and  Britney.  She's  definitely  among  the  top  10  most  successful  2000s female artists, (top 5  if we merely  compare artists who debut in  early  2000s).

Fail?  Did  she?  She  just  had  a  sold  out  WW  arena  tour.  The only market that  she really failed to maintain her success is the US.

Nostalgia acts have  good touring numbers because the fan base keeps buying 
That doesn't mean the gp cares.

Imagine  to  say  something  that  dumb .  How many of her  peers who debuted in 2000s can sell out arena tour in 2023?  Aside from Bey, P!nk,  Shakira and Britney? That only 4 of  her peers can actually  pull  a better  number  than  her  in  2023.

To be honest, at least in Europe they have been both completely irrelevant for the same amount of time now.

 

I would even say, Furtado lasted longer, her Spanish Album in 2009 was well-received.

Aside from being Canadian based artists, the two have nothing in common. Avril’s career started before and was still going strong after Nelly’s nosedived with TSI.

Nelly actually debuted before Avril

Odd comparison

feels more like shitting on Nelly since those receipts are...ofc Avril will win :dies:

 

but looking at it overall, Avril did have many more Eras be successful than Nelly

it also helped that Nelly didnt want much of that spotlight (altho she still tried to be successful on her own terms, ppl were just not here for it so lets not)

 

Now..seems like Nelly will start playing the game again from what we've seen

so we will see what happens!

After Loose. She went back to her roots with her Spanish album.

Lavigne is still able to place her albums in the top ten of many countries all over the world and tour worldwide meanwhile Miss Kelly isn't a thing outside of English speaking countries for more than over a decade and seemingly can't even chart nowadays in her own home country. Talking about big name celebrity :rip:

Sweetie, Avril just had a sold out arena tour in Europe. Her latest ablum debuted at #3 in UK. She sold 20K tickets for her concerts in London and around 13-15k for her concerts in Milan and Austria. She has become a legacy act instead :eli:

Nelly never cared about comercial success. Only with Loose and she got scared of the huge fame coming with it.
She had a chance to release an amazing electropop r&b record in 2010 but she didnt. Instead she gave us a strange album with world music. Spirit Indestructible
Then she went indie. 

Avril was able to reinvent in her last era. Olivia and Billie and so many newcomers gettin inspired by her also helped her to be a more prominent name today. She striked while the iron is hot with her best album in years and she's doin good :gaycat4:

Nelly lost the plot after Loose.
