BlackoutZone Posted Monday at 03:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:02 PM This underperformance doesn't affect her career at all. Nobody switched on her, the people didn't drop her, they just didn't like the new album. They will still check the next one, they will still keep playing the songs they love and they will still gladly see her live 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got released almost 4 months ago, and the lowest streamed song just passed 10M streams just couple of days ago. That's why I'm worried that, while people like her as a celebrity, I'm not sure if she has built a reputation of a strong performer with the GP to sell out a huge world tour. I'll still be snatching the tickets, don't get it twisted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has enough of a hits catalogue to attract common concertgoers everywhere in the world at this point. It will be difficult to sell it all out for sure, but it's definitely not doomed to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweekend Posted Monday at 04:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:33 PM 16 hours ago, Relampago. said: I don't mind the lack of performances, I meant more so the effort put into the music. RO isn't the awful album people make it out to be, and I personally enjoy it overall more than FN just cause it's more consistent, but there is a feeling of "good enough" on the album. I definitely want Dua to do whatever makes her happy as a fan, but as a music lover, I definitely want to see her flexing those creative muscles! Give us concepts, give us great visuals, give us everything. I know performing and promoting can be exhausting, but getting a real creative and solid effort artistically is her "job" so I hope she can balance her mental health with something a little more boundary pushing for her next time. i do agree with you. it's all up to her because it seems she has a lot of creativity control now. still I feel she gave fantastic concepts and execution for Houdini and Illusion. she only dropped the ball with training season visually but it has happened before (i.e. don't start now). the album is just not as good as DL/FN but still a good piece of work (and this feeling that she's capable of much more is the one I do share with you) hopefully she will deliver harder next era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is just one smash that connects with the GP away from continuing where she left off with FN. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate Posted Monday at 05:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:01 PM (edited) Didn't she already sell out some Asian dates and add new ones? I believe European, Asian, South American and Australian dates are something she can sell out without a problem. What I'm skeptical about are the stadiums. I think she should stick to the arenas. Okay, I understand why she could do stadiums in Latin America but not in Europe. In America, she could hold a couple of carefully selected arena concerts (big cities like LA and NY). Maybe she could do Coachella before that to further boost sales. Edited Monday at 05:02 PM by Mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that people didn't like it tbh, it's more that people just didn't care this time around. Too many girls dropped in Q1/Q2 of this year to the point this album got overlooked. Had she dropped it in 2023, it would've performed much better I'm convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheers Posted Monday at 05:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:51 PM I'll say it again: She just needs a #MAJAH House smash produced by John Summit. She will get back in the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickie Posted Monday at 05:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:57 PM I've seen in the other thread how the extended ver. was literally spat on, and this made me sad because it's better than the roll-out LP. Ext. give the songs room to BREATHE, it's not so stacked, even though some stylistic choices are questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
