It will be better not to talk too much about this album because it was already trashed by critics and the general public, it will be no different here.

 

But in my honest opinion this album is a 2/10. The songs are very short and the sound feels generic, though not unbearable as they say. The lyricism if too weak and predictable.

 

I feel like Mariah Carey's career is a good example of how a flop could go about. After the disaster that was Glitter, she tried to come back with Charmbracelet, which was a very safe and easy-listening album, kind of like what 143 is trying to do. But that album also flopped and wasn't able to bring her back to her usual success. So she took another hiatus of about 3 years to come back with Emancipation, an album with a more urban and hiphop sound that she used to be known for in the late 90s, kind of back to the roots, and it shot her back to stardom.

 

 Katy could take some time like Mariah, find her "classic" sound again, and do something rocky and acoustic like One of the Boys. Then maybe she could have a chance to get back to the top.

Exactly!! 143 is like a grenade compared to Gaga's album and movie ATOMIC BOMBS!

 

Remember to stream 143 for clear skin btw!!

the answer's really straight foward and has been already discussed multiple times

Dr. L***

Did no one read the op dddd

Idk if Katy has a "classic" sound. Obviously she did something a bit different for OOTB but she's known for her Teenage Dream type pop music which she's basically spent every album since trying to replicate, with diminishing returns each time. She tried the nostalgia thing and here we are

1. dr luke involvement

2. bad music

 

/endthread

She flopped because Woman's World was a horrible choice for a comeback single, even if you disregard the circumstances surrounding it. Having said that, I don't think she was going to have a massive comeback anyway. Katy is probably my favorite artist but her time has passed. Not everyone is going to last decades with chart-topping hits. She achieved amazing things, and is now happy with a family. I do think she was hoping for more success from this album, but I feel like a big hit from her at this point would be more based in luck and timing, than big budget and promotion.

she released a (terrible) women's empowerment song produced by an alleged rapist as the lead single, it doesn't take einstein to work this one out

Charmbracelet, sweetie...

Her time is just up. She was not meant to have a long lasting career. She's like Xtina & Paula

Y'all have been talking about her Mariah moment for 7 years. Give it up, Deelishis 

The world is 100% done with Katy and her brand since forever 

her music always sound the same and working with a rapist killed what was left of her 

 

Luke

Generic/basic music

Horrible lyrics 

Bad music.

regardless of why it flopped or not, i have absolutely no idea why she thought it would be an amazing idea to go back to dr luke… for a supposed "feminist" and going from a huge jump to an album like prism/witness to 143….   

 

she was asking to flop atp

Another 143 thread. We get it, it BOMBED. The End!

You genuinely think that thinkpiece warranted a thread like? Thank you for sharing

143's flop walked so Joker's flop could run. It's so nice to see the pop girlies helping eachother out .
