It was the most trendy thing at the time, even if she lost a bit of credibility from the emo side of her fandom and to this day i still find the funniest thing ever like being emo in that exact time was being emo during myspace... when they loved colors
holyground13 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 1 hour ago, blown away said: Best - ditching her father Worst - Superbowl 2004 MTE. Best definitely was recruiting Jimmy and Terry for Control and the three of them serving Quality and Talent for days. And another great decision was creating eras for her first five-six albums and evolving with each release yet sticking true to her core brand and why fans loved her in the first place. It's incredible to think that Janet's output from Control to All For You was 90% from the same three people considering how diverse the production styles are. Worst.... probably the overall worst is not making near enough of an effort to promote her legacy and new music to younger fanbases since Damita Jo. 1
Buffy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 1 hour ago, Robburro said: The Best Damn Thing is the best AND worst career Avril made tbh Sonically wise was the right direction. Aesthetic wise? hell no this is always my default answer that album derailed her career and sadly that's her real aesthetic. She hasn't outgrown it since 2007.
Peak Now Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Everyons already talked about how Taylor went from career ending decisions in April 2019 to career re-peaking decisions in July 2020 so lemme talk about Gaga Best: Sound of Music tribute at the 2015 Oscars, hands down. The GP realized she could actually sing and didn't just go from gimmick to gimmick Worst: I expect to get dragged for this but the meat dress... 1. nobody asked for that and 2. it helped solidify a false impression that Gar was relying on gimmicks and obscured her very real talent

MadOnHer Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) Best: Dropping out of college at 19 years old and leaving Michigan for New York City... Worst: Leaving Warner Bros (whom she had been signed to for her entire career) and thereby killing her commercial momentum virtually overnight! Edited October 7 by MadOnHer 1
Delirious Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Worst decision: not releasing My Blood as a single Taking a 5 year break Releasing Army as the second single Abandoning the delirium era Best: Everything else
Erreur2 La Nature Posted October 7 Posted October 7 It's hard to tell cause most of her career was under the c-ship and she was basically forced to do whatever she was told to do and lost her passion so I'm only gonna discuss about her first 10 years. Best : Probably forcing the label to release Toxic as they did not want to make it a single. Worst : If that's her decision I'm gonna say barely ever singing live. Even if you put on a very impressive show and make it entertaining, not singing one song live should not be ok to be honest.
Psycho Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Best: Releasing Kings & Queens after flop Worst: Releasing So Am I after smash
troubledparadise Posted October 7 Posted October 7 BEST: releasing DOPAMINE WORST: doing nothing after that 1
PopThatCorn Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Pretty much everything Janet did between 1986 and 2001 was perfect. Even choices that seemed risky have aged the best. - Convincing Virgin Records to release That's The Way Love Goes (a mid-tempo) as the lead single for janet. despite her being known as a dance artist. - Selecting Any Time, Any Place as a single in 1994, solidifying her unbreakable support from the R&B market (#1 for 10 weeks) while still being a "pop" act. It is now a classic and one of her biggest hits in the streaming era. - Releasing Got 'Til It's Gone knowing it could turn-off the very fickle pop radio in America, gained the respect of critics while becoming a big hit globally and remains one of her signature songs. - Completely changing her public image in 1997 (red hair, tattoos, piercings) and writing about various taboo topics on The Velvet Rope at the risk of alienating some fans, she proved she was still a cutting edge artist who wasn't planning to coast on her past sucess and play things safe. - Contributing a song for the Nutty Professor II film, Doesn't Really Matter became another big hit and marked her return in the new millennium and reminded everyone (including radio programmers and music television) of what an essential star was, laying the groundwork for her next single (All For You) to be instantly embraced right out of the gate and helped the AFY album open with her highest sales yet. - Continuing to work with Jimmy Jam as her main collaborator on every album since 1986, writing the lyrics to all her 90s material, trusting her artistic vision and never outsourcing (no shopping for songs, no session singers doing background vocals etc) which maintained an authentically personal element to all of her work. A lot of choices after mid-2001 became questionable. It's best not to name it all. Some lows though: - Cancelling her 2001 MTV EMAs performance and entire European tour after 9/11 and deciding not to reschedule, fans really held a grudge. It didn't help that she claimed back then the AFY tour might be her last when international fans couldn't even see the show. - Agreeing to do the 2004 Superbowl at all after they ditched her for U2 in 2002 and wanted so many guest acts during her show.... - Being too nice to cancel the fan album cover contest for 20 Y.O. after seeing how bad the submissions were. - Using her own millions (allegedly) to fund the messy Call On Me video only for MTV to still not play any Janet videos. - Completely missing the music industry's transition into the digital era by not releasing music for eternity, and having all her iconic music videos absent from YouTube and many hits missing on streaming until very recently. - Being generally inactive musically for a long time now and never releasing another album or literally anything from the vault for fans.
Sad Serenade Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Selena's droplets are best and worst decision at the same time. Droplets era was actually full of masterpieces, good songs and visuals. But on the other hand she didn't release an album which was very frustrating It would be a great album

blackoutbaby Posted October 7 Posted October 7 (edited) Best: Writing and recording AIWFCIY tbh Worst: Glitter, though I love the soundtrack, and I also wonder if we would've gotten TEOM as it is now without it…..Other than that, American Idol. Edited October 7 by blackoutbaby
