base talk Less artistic identity - Miley or Halsey?

[Raptus]

2 pop girls that don't have any particular musical style/identity and hop from one persona to another every era.  Which has less artistic integrity?

[Gelato]

I feel like when Miley goes all in on a particular style or genre, it's genuinely what she's interested in and what's inspired her at that time.

 

With Halsey I find all the identities she's had a bit phoney.

the one that came out with Born To Die from Aliexpress

What do you mean Halsey has no artistic identity when her debut and persona had tumblr in chokehold back in 2015? I don't think Miley has ever served сunt like that.

Miley

[visions]

They’re both versatile, take risks, and attempt different genres, which is much more than I can say for a lot of other “artists”. 

 

I am more convinced by Miley’s identity in her music, I think her eras are more refined and thought out, even if she does switch it up a lot. 

 

Edit: I voted for the wrong person in the poll

Hmm, just because they switch it up doesn't mean they don't have artistic integrity imo. It's a shame Miley trashes her previous work so often, tho

Not the Instagram filters and Shein’d Born To Die visuals being an accomplishment  

 

OT: Miley is an icon. Halsey still has a long way to go before getting there.

[glitch]

Why does the title say identity and the OP says integrity? Those are two different things.

 

In terms of identity I'd say Halsey definitely has a distinctive sound that makes her songs hers. Miley switches between genres a lot and I don't think I could pull up a song and say "this encapsulates who Miley Cyrus is as an artist".

[West Coast]

Halsey tbh

 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

This thread is so disrespectful against Milegend..... Halsey came up as a Lorde & Lana Del Rey copy. And all the iconic "tumblr" moments y'all talked about, Bangerz did better.

[Big Bad Wolf]

Bffr it's Miley  She had successful transitions in all of her eras including Can't Be Tamed, Bangerz, Dead Petz, even younger Younger Now and Plastic Heartz and ESV feels like a natural progression too.

 

Halsey has no artistic identity besides those bannanis and avocadis vocals she does.

[Zefierce]

Miley

 

Her rockstar shtick feels like cosplay and it gives me secondhand-embarrassment.

How u gonna compare Miley to ***** Halsey

[honestopinion]

ATRL has a weird obsession with comparing THE legend Miley Cyrus with some khias, this thread is a joke and can't be taken seriously

This is confusing because even during her Hannah Montana days, her music was very pop rock leaning. Hell, she even had a song called Rock Star.

Hasley started as a One Direction stan on Youtube, making Taylor Swift parodies, then signed a record deal in 2014 and became an alternative girl that once said this in an interview after touring as support to Imagine Dragons.

 

Quote

Okay, I just did the Imagine Dragons tour for two months. I was playing arenas in the United States and I was playing to a very sterile audience. I was playing to an audience who knows who Imagine Dragons are because they have radio hits. I wasn't playing to a group of people that are into their own discovery of music, or into dis­cov­er­ing music for them­selves or curating their own taste. Obviously they have a very dedicated fanbase and there are a lot of people that are die hard for them and dis­covered them on their own. When you get to an arena stand­point a lot of those people are there because they are casual fans. I walk out, I've got short blue hair and I'm playing to con­ser­vat­ive America like, 'is she gay? I don't get it. She's singing about guys but she looks like a lesbian'. I've got this song that's about how this new generation's accepting of diversity, accepting of different walks of life etcetera. No one ******* under­stands it.

Then she did "Closer" with the chainsmokers.

More recently she did that weird "they are forcing me to do viral tiktoks" thing.

 

Miley seems a bit confused on what direction she wants to go at times, but overall she seems to be more consistent than Halsey.

[The Man Who]

Doesn’t Miley just reinvent herself like Madonna does? So why is it used as something to praise Madonna for, but drag Miley for? - you can tell that Madonna has been a huge inspiration on Miley and she’s shown time again that she’s ultra-talented and highly capable of succeeding whilst doing different genres. Nothing but respect for Milegend.
 

I don’t know enough about Halsey or her music to give a fair comment.

That Imagine Dragons quote made me cringe so bad! They’ve been my favourite band since 2010, which was a good few years before they had any breakout hits with the GP. Like I said previously, I don’t know much about her or her music, but that quote makes her seem so pretentious. I’m so glad now that she wasn’t the opening act for my show in November.

 

I am also dying at Imagine Dragons becoming one of the most vocal LGBT+ allies out there and Halsey being worried their fanbase wouldn’t like her because she was a female with short blue hair.
