Solaria Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I feel like atleast once a week, if not here on ATRL, on other places there’s a ‘can Katy comeback?’ ‘What happend to Katy?’ ‘Katy deserves another hit’ etc thread or discussion. I rarely see this type of discourse for another female artist. Why the fixation on a comeback for Katy?

Vespertine Posted February 25 Posted February 25 She had the biggest and swiftest fall of all all the MPGs. Of course people are curious if she can ever come back. It’s a good narrative when it happens. 6
Popular Post KillingYourCareer Posted February 25 Popular Post Posted February 25 She had one of the biggest peaks among pop girls and she served pop excellence for a long time, of course pop fans are excited about her coming back. We just need her to stop being lazy and lame! 19 3
DoubleRainbow! Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Given by her recent increase in streams and viral tweets and TikTok’s, she’s a beloved pop star and she is missed right now by the GP, they’re hungry for new bops 6 1 2
SharGaga Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Because she was the biggest thing with a meteoric rise from 2008-2015. After that she fell off harder than any popstar I've ever seen. Usually it takes years for someone to slowly fade but it's like people just woke up one day and realized she just isn't that talented. She doesn't have the range or talent for a successful comeback unless she finds another dream team that works for her (Dr. Puke and Bonnie fueled a lot of her success unfortunately). Katycats are holding on to stats like best paid reality star in the world but if she were my fave I'd rather have her work on her craft and evolve instead of doing Idol. We'll see what she cooks up... 6 4 1
Cameltoe Chariot Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Sister if you look a little more closely you'll notice it's just the same 5 Katycats making all these threads so 13

The cracks were already showing at the start of the PRISM era when the GP rejected Uncle DeShawn Ali. Yea true her success seems largely fueled by releasing the right singles at the right time. Unfortunately for someone pushing 40 the candy cane shtick just doesn't work anymore. She has to mature somehow. People just know her for her good catchy songs. As an artist she hasn't really proven anything beyond that. Her 'riskiest' single was Unconditionally and her 'riskiest' album was Witness. That should tell you everything about her range and talent as atrist. Edited February 25 by SharGaga 3
XxxKatyCatxxX Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Maybe people want more color in their life, who knows?
pride4jc1222 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Birthday followed the biggest hit of her career and barely made top 20 before dropping quickly. It's why peaks alone don't tell the whole story. Prism got by on two HUGE, and I mean HUGE hits but the cracks on her career started to show. 1
loveisdead9582 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Because she has had one of the most prominent falls for a MPG. Katy had a good first era, SMASHED her second, and had a highly successful third album along with her Super Bowl performance, her movie Part of Me, etc. she was on top of the world… and then tanked… and she hasn’t been able to come back since. No one in recent history has had that much of a fall and not gotten back up to some extent. Gaga, Beyoncé, and many others have had an era where they underperformed but they were able to turn it around and have subsequently gone back to delivering good music and getting another hit or 5. Katy hasn’t and a lot of us would actually like to see her do well (despite some of her stans insisting that anyone who speaks badly of her last two albums is a hater). Teenage Dream especially was a huge era in pop music and I for one would love to see her put out at least one more album that’s at least close in quality to that era.
Phaunzie Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I wouldn't know, you need to ask her other fanbases specifically. They are the one making majority of those threads and represent majority of the posts.
magazine Posted February 25 Posted February 25 trust me, katy would love to have any kind of fixation from people
Moonlight Nation Posted February 25 Posted February 25 5 minutes ago, Solaria said: It wasn’t one day. The cracks were already showing at the start of the PRISM era when the GP rejected Uncle DeShawn Ali. Don't forget the bizarre, tacky music video for "Birthday" which genuinely prevented the song from reaching its full potential and the controversy for the cultural appropriation on the "This Is How We Do" music video (plus the overall consensus on the song leaning quite mixed to negative). Todd in the Shadows was right in his assessment that "PRISM" felt a bit like a delayed flop despite its commercial heights being two of Katy's most successful, signature hits. Then we had the 2016 Olympics single "Rise" - her first since the record-breaking Super Bowl - which failed to reach the top 10 and quickly fell off the charts. Speaking of her halftime show...real missed opportunity to not take advantage of it to begin a new era that year. The pop landscape was completely different by 2017, and that contributed to her underperformance as well. So yeah, her fall from grace wasn't as sudden as some people make it out to be. I became a massive KatyCat during the late "Teenage Dream" era, and the delay between "PRISM" and "Witness" played a key role in diverting my attention to other artists. "Rise" being so underwhelming didn't help matters either, and while I still casually followed the "Witness" era, I had already moved on by then. 1
airplane Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Because the current state of @the music industry is tragic and we need real hitmakers back 2
Fitzswiftie Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Nostalgia. The young millennials/older gen z that grew up and can’t process that someone whom was a tier 1 popstar during their peak is just irrelevant to the culture now. 1
