Garbaj Posted August 14 Posted August 14 hate trains are very common when it comes to popular or influential people (celebrities). who do you think overcame their hate trains to become who they are today? for me... i would say Micheal Jackson (the whole sexual abuse and bleaching his skin... which is still a topic) and Janet Jackson (the whole super-bowl catastrophe)
GraceRandolph Posted August 14 Posted August 14 MJ didn't have a "hate train" though? He had credible child molestation accusations. Anyway, Rebecca Black. 9 1
Santhosh Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Lady gaga Taylor swift **** brown Justin Bieber Ariana grande Billie eilish Sabrina carpenter 2
Bubble Tea Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Madonna during Erotica era. She was lashed to hell and back, literally called a wh0re on the cover of newspapers. Of course, like the legend she is, she reinvented herself and came back more successful than ever a few years later. 4 2
Gelato Posted August 14 Posted August 14 (edited) Taylor came back from 2016 Gaga came back from Artpop Justin Bieber came back from what happened in 2013/14 Ariana came back from 2015 Charli came back from getting whacked by twinks every day on Twitter during the Crash era Edited August 14 by Gelato 5
Troll Idle Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Not people saying Ariana Grande She went from donut licking brat to ultimate homewrecker, how did she recover from anything? 1 3 1
The_Bling Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Pedo Jackson didn't overcome ****, his image turned around simply because he died and the GP switches like sissies when a famous person dies 4 1
cyberraga Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Gaga's bounce back from ARTPOP. Who knew releasing a jazz album in 2014 would revive her career The 2015 Oscars performance set her comeback in stone though. 1

Selegend Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Selena Gomez is on a hate train for 4-6 months every 2 years and she always overcome it. Her public image now is wayy better than some months ago and this had already happened (for different situations/reasons but with similar outcomes) several times.
Yog Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Sam Smith, they been hated since 2014 and still manages to be successful
Reginald Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I would say it's been proven time and time again that the only person who can truly "cancel" someone is their own self. Otherwise, if you keep working, there will always be an audience. We've seen music artists release albums from prison, a felon run for the presidency, and public cult members who still get the leading role in box office smash movies. That's not to get on a moral grandstand, though, a few of my favorite artists (not MPGs) are controversial to the point that I don't even like to talk about them. They deserved the backlash. 1

They were two different scandals with an eight year gap between them during which Ariana was one of the biggest singers on the planet
bielneira Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I'm shocked nobody mentioned Lana Del Rey so far. Well, Lana Del Rey.
Aden Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Gaga, came back from ARTPOP with a cross-genre rebrand that revived her commercial success. Taylor, came back from Reputation stronger than ever with her re-recordings. Madonna, came back from the Erotica lashings and released some of the best pop material ever. Britney, came back from gross media lashings and had a hit era with Femme Fatale. Beyonce, had a racist hate train during Lemonade that never stuck to her.
Inverted Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Jennifer Lopez came back from the immense Bennifer 1.0 backlash in 2003 thanks to American Idol, but it took a few years. Not sure how she'll come back from Bennifer 2.0.
The7thStranger Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I wouldn't say Michael overcame his hate train, to be honest. It was a driving factor behind the addiction struggles that ultimately killed him. And then the hate train only went faster after the release of that one-sided, messy "documentary." Janet did overcome her hate train, though, and managed to claw back the hate and apathy she suffered after the Superbowl. Also, Geri Halliwell after leaving the Spice Girls, Madonna after the Sex book backlash, and the Dixie Chicks after the anti-war remarks.
Squall Posted August 14 Posted August 14 How is Janet an example of that? No hate but she hasn't been successful since the SB incident so I don't get your point

No hate but she hasn't been successful since the SB incident so I don't get your point We have to remember that Janet was going to become a legacy act sooner or later, and that's where she is now. You can't fully undo the damage after the Superbowl, but she's gotten her flowers over the past five years: a major two-part documentary on Lifetime, awards, name-checked by several new artists as an inspiration, a successful US tour, a successful world tour, and her induction into the Hall of Fame. Just because she hasn't had a #1 single in a while doesn't mean she hasn't had her successes. Why take those away from her? 1 hour ago, Aden said: Beyonce, had a racist hate train during Lemonade that never stuck to her. They certainly tried, but it had all the power of a Thomas the Tank Engine plush. Edited August 14 by The7thStranger 1
