nsst Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Meghan Trainor: Known for her catchy, upbeat songs like "All About That Bass," she brings a fun, retro vibe to her music, often focusing on themes of body positivity and self love. Katy Perry: A pop icon with hits like "Teenage Dream" and "Firework," she's known for her colorful, playful visuals and anthemic songs that have dominated the charts for over a decade. Dua Lipa: With her disco inspired sound and polished vocals, she's become one of pop's biggest names, thanks to hits like "Levitating" and the highly successful Future Nostalgia album. Ava Max: She's quickly made a name for herself with songs like "Sweet but Psycho," blending infectious pop melodies with a bold, high energy style. Bebe Rexha: A versatile artist, Bebe has written hits for other singers and had success with her own singles like "Meant to Be," crossing between pop and country pop sounds. Ariana Grande: Ariana's career arc is like watching a once daring artist slowly fall into a rut of overproduction and monotony. She started with that "sweet girl next door" image on Victorious, then leveled up with My Everything and Dangerous Woman, where she was pushing pop boundaries, experimenting with sound, and actually showing some edge. But lately? She's become the poster child for basic pop. Let's talk vocals. Yes, she can sing, but nowadays it's like she's whispering through half her songs. Tracks like "Positions" or "34+35" are supposed to be sultry, but instead, they're just background noise at best. Her lyrics? Repetitive to the point of exhaustion. How many times do we need to hear about breakups, exes, or how she's moving on in the most predictable ways possible? It's almost like she's copy pasting her old songs into new ones, but with slightly different beats. Her image? Stuck in that high ponytail like it's glued to her scalp, as if letting it down would actually cause her to lose her identity. And let's not forget about her aesthetic, it's all so sleek and manufactured that it feels like every album rollout, every outfit, every video is crafted in a PR lab to hit the right safe notes for mass appeal. There's nothing risky about her anymore. It's like she's terrified of doing anything that doesn't instantly guarantee another Billboard hit. Then there's the whole thing about trying to stay relevant by chasing trends rather than setting them. She's constantly hopping from one sound to another, like she's unsure of who she actually wants to be as an artist. Remember when she dabbled in trap with thank u, next? It was cute for a moment, but it didn't stick. Now she's blending into the background of her own genre, making sure she checks all the boxes without pushing any boundaries. It's just safe, over and over again. And don't even get me started on her features. She'll pop up on someone else's track, do the same breathy vocals, and leave zero impact. It's like she's there for the name recognition but brings nothing fresh to the table. At this point, she's just recycling her brand with diminishing returns. Ariana Grande's trajectory has gone from exciting and fresh to predictable and formulaic, and no amount of high notes or sassy Instagram captions can change the fact that she's settled comfortably into being the most basic version of a pop star. Thoughts?

freshoutthebuffet Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Out of all those you listed I'd say Meghan Trainor is the most basic, bordering on offensive
brraap Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I asked AI to pretend it's Ariana and drag itself so she could get her lick back Spoiler AI? Girl, it's giving me robotic assistant vibes. Like, cute for doing the bare minimum, but where's the star power? You can answer questions, sure, but can you serve a seven-octave vocal range? No, sweetie, you can't. AI out here thinking it's the moment when it's just another Google search. I'm over here setting trends, and AI is stuck recycling algorithms like, "Oop, here's what I found on the web." AI's version of multitasking is opening two tabs, meanwhile, I'm out here dropping chart-toppers, serving looks, and still finding time to breathe. Honestly, AI could never.
