Sam Smith can score hits and Troye can't, why?

Recommended Posts

Sam Smith and Troye Sivan are two of the most successful artists from the LGBTQ+ but why Sam is the one with hits and not Troye if they pander to the same people and talk about similar topics on their lyrics?

Sam is interesting; Troye is a just an average boring twink who makes pop music. I'll take Unholy over Rush any day

Sam Smith started out - where the public called him the male Adele equivalent. He was taken seriously as musician / songwriter (hence the Grammy nods) - he also built loyal and mature following. Whereas Troye Sivan, initially started as Youtuber, most of his fans are of younger lgbtq+ audience.

Sam is cuntier and has the surprise factor going on for them. Nothing Troye has done has caught anyone off-guard except for the few times he made a good song.

Sam started out as a serious musician. Troye started out as a YouTuber.

Didn't Sam pander to the straights in the beginning of their career?

Even though Sam never hid their sexuality, their career started out with a very universal sound, image and way of marketing.  

 

Troye is a YouTuber who succesfully branched out to a proper singing career.  Troye's coming out and his Journey was far more interwined in both lyrical as visual content of his music.

Troye Isn't even trying though. He had hype behind Rush & didn't lift a finger.

 

He simply doesn't care to be the #1 pop boy which is fine some artist are better being low key.

Troye's music is really boring. I don't really like Sam's music either but his voice is the kind that inspires emotions even in straight people so he's got that going for him.
