k4rmabutterfly Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Doja, SZA and Cardi already made us sure that their careers are not their priorities with their constant meltdowns. Olivia and Billie already achieved so much with their debuts, they are just chilling rn without caring too much about comercial success. I feel like Dua is the only one who wants to on TOP. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subversive Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 On a serious note, I always wonder how the being an immigrant / moving at such a young age impacted her drive and work ethic. I think she has put a lot of (overall good) pressure on herself to succeed and constantly churn out a lot of different projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point I feel like her being from Europe also helps her (and her team) to see beyond the USA, which is an advantage for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell she really loves her craft and is happy to have the career and fame that she has achieved, unlike say, Doja (who I love). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its because she knows her sights are on cracking the U.S. full time and becoming a force domestically, add to her immigrant background and being an 'outsider' (European) who had to kick down doors just to make sure the U.S. didn't see her as a one hit/era wonder, I think that's why her drive is so high. Compare that to Adele whom the U.S. basically co opted as their own from 21 onwards, Dua had to make herself known because her music was absolutely Euro-dance inspired.

Antikythera Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 There is nothing worth being ambitious for. Awards have no prestige anymore. Charts are more a question of how much u pay for playlisting. Every who can do a stadium tour. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glacier76 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I don’t want to compare the struggles of immigrants with those of black women in the US, but I will say that Dua herself hasn’t achieved the immediate “overnight” success that some of her peers have, and that there are doubts to some of her performance skills and artist merit that she seems to recognize and overcome. It’s sometimes easier to push forward when there are discernible and achievable goals ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Americans show business is a given, the industry is much smaller let's say in the UK, so I get her wanting more and more, she has too if she wants to stay a worldwide popstar because the UK can be very bad to their girls.

Maxxxine Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Is she still ambitious though? I think her team does a great job getting her together, marketing her well, making bops and putting them on the right playlists but honey she's just having a good azz time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlepunk Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Because she wants to be pop superstar. She wants to be like Britney, xtina, Rihanna, Madonna and Kylie Monigue are as pop royalty she wants to be seen as one of the greats. The other girls are willing to settle for less but Dua isn’t like that. She truly wants to create and empire and lane for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) There are so many reasons most of our faves are lazy and borderline retired, but I will say this. Most of our faves are SCARED of the studio because they don't want to make bad music. There is immense pressure on our faves to deliver quality (unless you're Katy), and the fear of putting out mediocrity is very real. Dua doesn't care, she understands that hard work is required to make something great, or at least look great, and the GP responds well to this. She's also young and has more energy and things to prove than our older faves who are sort of just like... "I did that too when I was 22".
