Anaconda is literally a cult classic though? It also grossed $136.8M at the box office with a budget of $45M

Honey, J Lo has good movies (not many) there is no need to pretend that Anaconda is not that terrible, that it became a meme because they used a reverse shot at the end of the movie because they were out of money.
 

However, the movie is actually kinda iconic, I can´t deny that.

JLo had a rough year but definitely Katy

 

Gaga doesn't belong in this conversation; Mannequin and FAD aren't doing "well" but those are basically just side projects

[chaklux]

Jlo for me. This was supposed to be a big era for her , not just the usual. The music, the music movie and the documentary. She was panned for filth , cancelled the tour (at least katy Perry tour is still there), filed for divorce from the so called man that inspired the album and supposed to be her Romeo, then the constant bullying of her on social media pages, she had to lock IG section at some point. It's been a really bad year for JLo sadly

I didn't say anything about Anaconda being critically acclaimed though?

 

Anaconda was not critically acclaimed, but it was indeed a successful film

[Cheers]

JFAD is the biggest bomb of the year. Congrats, Gaga!

[Lady Claire]

Definitely Katy. JLo bombed but not even her was expecting to be a hit anyways. On her doc she says she's pretty aware no one was asking for a new album but she was passionate about the project and it had a somewhat good reception for her standards.

 

Gaga had DWAS, and Joker may be a panned flop but every review praises her acting and how she deserved better than being on it, because she's too good for what it was given to her. I mean, i pretty much would prefer to receive this type of feedback rather than being on a acclaimed film but being called the worst thing on it.

 

As of Katy her album and its singles bombed, she was dragged as an artist, for her producer, her legacy and there's some even critics basically telling her it's time to retire It was one of the worst eras of all time for a female artist. There wasn't a single good thing about that, so she def takes the cake

she has NO solo power in 2024 (or after 2011)

and that's a fact

She's starring in a movie that is a collaborative effort with another name top-billed but SHE is the one to blame. She's also the co-lead of a #1 smash song in a collaborative team-effort but HE is the one responsible for the success. 

 

Okay KatyKat.

If the movie was a giant smash Joaquin would be responsible and if DWAS would've bombed Gaga would be the reason  There's no way OGHs aren't the most idiotic group of weasels out of all. 

 

OT: Gaga is #1 with her latest single with 100+ million monthly listeners while Katy is a flop vocalist, has a flop album, three flop singles in a row and a flop reputation. I'd say the "winner" is Katy. 

[Femalien]

honestly so far i have to say gaga because she actually had something to lose, and seems to have squandered major momentum. Katy and Jlo were already so over they needed a new word for over.

 

Gaga can actually come back and turn this around though

[Capris Groove]

I have to give this to Gaga because the other two just released projects that weren't well-received. This wasn't really news outside their fanbases.

 

This Joker movie actually seems to be actively despised by the general public, and will probably have an impact on the way production companies approach big marketing bugets and also the commercial appeal of musicals. The badness of is having an actual impact.

 

Katy and Jlo can rebound in a few years with a simple comeback. Gaga's situation is a little trickier, because again, it's not that people simply aren't connecting with it, it's that they're actively annoyed by it and feel deceived after the first movie was so massive. And these people aren't just her fans, like with Jlo and Gaga.

The Idol was also a huge bomb and The Weeknd is doing okay with his new single, though??? However, I highly doubt he would return to tv/movies soon.

For sure. It's not like her career is over by any stretch. It's just that she expected to take a movie that would be absolutely huge, like blockbuster level. Which would cement her as a legimitately commercial "butts in seats" actress.

 

The opposite happened, and one of the reasons it's so disliked is because of the singing (which is Gaga's part).

 

For sure she'll have to choose a much different role next time, and absolutely one that is not related to music.

I love how you didn't include the bomb album debuting at #20 on the Billboard 200 but included its Metracritic score 

[Dante]

if having a song spend 40 days at #1 of spotify globally is considered being the biggest loser, then id like to be one

Katy should be winning this by landslide
