Its a dead show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oktober Knight Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I guess I could *kinda* understand if this were the Grammys. But the VMAs? Jesus... Literally nobody watched that show anymore 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have no reason to look for any excuses for her, nor my post was an excuse. My post was about the fact, artists and especially new artists don't have much to say what they will or wont do. Once the contract is signed they need to fulfill whatever they agreed on with label. If label put tons of money into her promotion she cannot say we wont do that or wont do that. Thats how industry works. You are a puppet at the beginning. Once you prove yourself and once you bring more money into back than was actually invested in you, then you can start saying thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stop saying that something potentially iconic will come from a show that nobody cares about anymore. Its so embarrassing that she cancelled shows for a single performance.

AndThenTheCocaine Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 See the kicker is both of these things in isolation are perfectly reasonable "Fame is kinda exhausting" yes queen draw those boundaries!

Lets not be naive and think Chappell as a new artist has anything to say when it comes to business decisions. Her label invested money into her and they need it back.

Larry Rudolf was saying the same about how Britney is excited and passionate about project she was pushed to do against her will.

CroNich Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Everyone's doing too much with her, it's not that serious. The only thing that confuses me is that she is clearly going to the VMA's for exposure when that seems to be what she's trying to avoid? Make it make sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rihinvention Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Just because the VMAs have sucked over the past few years doesn't mean it can't come back. Its legacy spans 40 years and its most iconic moments have been some of the pop culture highlights from their respective years. In what's been one of the most exciting years for female pop stars, why would we not want them to try and revive it? The fact that there are people in this thread being like "pffft, don't bother. The 2018 show was so boring" Is insane to me. Yes, there are standout VMAs shows and VMAs moments, but who's to say 2024 can't be one of them?

sad girl Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Lmao, people are honestly so weird when commenting about female musicians.. Of course she would choose this over a live show - it is going to grow her music reach. People confused over her comments about "avoiding exposure", I understand it that she wants to step away from being a public figure. Her art can still live and become accessible to a larger audience, and she shouldn't be discredited for wanting that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Joint Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 She said in an interview that she's trying to "pump the brakes on fame", but canceling shows to perform at the VMAs is literally the opposite of that. I think either she secretly likes her current "moment" of fame right now or she's just got too much potential for sales right now for her record label to even let her pump the brakes on said fame. Either way, I support her. It's so exciting to have a new female pop artist slay like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetCrush Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 The first time she got dragged for establishing boundaries with her fans was kinda unwarranted but honestly I kinda get this one. Sure the VMAs are a bigger deal but if she wasn't complaining about being way too famous and cancelled last minute she wouldn't be as dragged for this tbh. I understand that many of the fans that spend money to see her or were already on their way to travel to the concert are mad and tbf I'm not gonna be the one to tell them it's nothing. Love her but her actions do not seem to match what she was saying about being famous. Just say you wanna be famous and rich but don't want your fans to bother you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
