duybeeGAshantiGA Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Not people in here acting like RO is just a flop commercially and not quality-wise. That album is a low quality mess.
halcyonday Posted May 31 Posted May 31 No. ARTPOP was a cultural moment. RO will be forgotten next month.
Digitalism Posted May 31 Posted May 31 One of the weirdest comparisons here. RO is bad becausee it's safe and boring. Artpop is bad because it has one of the messiest albums productions and lyrics ever. Gaga had a big fan base that made the album look big eventhough nobody uses it today outside the fanbase and applause. Dua doesn't even have that. Let's see if it RO destroys Dua's music career like it did with Gaga.
Reginald Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Applause was a genuine hit, it's right behind Paparazzi at #11 on her top-streamed Spotify songs. I hope Dua finds the right single if she continues to promote RO.
Human Fly Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Miss ARTPOP , the most anticipated and most expensive release of 2013 sweetie…
Cheers Posted May 31 Posted May 31 No. Radical Optimism isn't a bad album, it's just a flop. Dua also doesn't have the fanbase to pretend it's some cult classic. It's just not comparable at all.
MasterExpose Posted May 31 Posted May 31 They both the same to me I can only deal with few songs of each album. Houdini, TS, Illusion and Maria from RO. Venus and Aura from Artpop
CoolNebraskaGuy Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Love Dua, but ARTPOP seriously outshines RO. ARTPOP was nothing if not bold- it's the sound of one of the biggest popstars of the 21st century melting down in real time. There isn't anything else quite like it. The only thing they have in common is that they both failed to resonate with the average consumer. RO is fine but it's nothing innovative or particularly memorable- it's a boring flop. Let's make this thread again in 11 years and see if people are talking about RO the way fans and haters alike still talk about ARTPOP.
EdgeofTeeth Posted May 31 Posted May 31 If anything, RO is the reverse-ARTPOP ARTPOP was criticized for being too maximalist. It's an electropop nervous breakdown that was too loud and messy for the average listener. RO is the exact opposite. Dua played it too safe and the album is bland and uninteresting as a result. 1
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Anyone who legitimately believes RO is comparable to ARTPOP is telling me straightaway they did not directly experience ARTPOP's messiness in real time. That one was diabolical. 1 1
Papi Juancho Posted May 31 Posted May 31 the weakest song in RO (Anything for Love) is better than any song on Artpop.
ericcartman Posted May 31 Posted May 31 No. Artpop was a flop but it was a pop culture moment. The meltdowns were a kii. RO was more of a Xtina type of flop where no one cared. Also expectations were not as high.
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted May 31 Posted May 31 The last colossal pop flop that flopped so badly and epically it was iconic was Witness. It hasn't happened since from what I can remember.
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Artpop is a classic in all its messiness. And I loved how chaotic that era was.

Funnyfatty Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Lol ARTPOP was known by EVERYONE and hated by everyone. The hate it got was such big promo. People knew the album for sure but they didnt buy it to punish Gaga. If Radical things was half known as ARTPOP the sales would be doubled
