    Hasn't she done that like three times already? 

  • she was never more than cheap lady gaga knockoff. the potential was there but she has no vision. totally understandable

Kinda surprised at this, I felt that things were getting better (still terrible but better) since the album announcement.

 

It's getting embarrassing being a fan of her at this point. Her whole career has been a mess since D&D got leaked and delayed. Get it together Miss Max or the 5 maxipads left will leave you just like your management did

 

I'm convinced Cirkut and Madison are the ones or sabotaged her career and they still are

Yeah she needs to relocate to London, immerse herself into the local club scene there and come back stronger than ever. Some local gay needs to perform an exorcism on her and suck the Wisconsinese out of that girl. 

the regional hit-maker ava max deserves our love and support! things must be very hard for her. she didnt choose or cause a lot of these problems. 

Oh, Ava...

 

Honestly, I feel bad for her. She has a lot of potential and her voice is pleasant. But she lacks a true, distinct musical identity. I love some songs from Heaven & Hell and Diamonds & Dancefloors but the full albums are so unmemorable. Let me give "Naked" a stream

Since when a hiatus is a good idea for an artist who is flopping? 

A hiatus could be good for a certain artist who is on tour atm :fan:

She needs a rebrand and a complete image change. She needs to step away from Temu Gaga cosplay and find her own identity as an artist. I'll always root for her cause she delievered some great bops.

 

Does that also mean album is shelved? 

i actually feel really bad for her :gaycat7:she just could never keep up with the industry tbh.

No she was able to at first. She was actually really ambitious during the rollout for H&H, her actively commenting on SBS being a pop hit amidst the trap wave and expanding on that proved that. But then she started overtly relying on these self love anthems instead of continuing on the sound that fits her most (which is Europop)

I wonder if her tour is even happening at this point bc at top of that it looks like she sold around 20% of the venues :deadbanana4:

 

In fact i would be worried for the album too. If i was her i would take a step back, cancel everything, do some kind of rebrand and then start over cause things are not looking good at all

I mean its still early but she needs to announce a fire opener ASAP to help her sell those tickets. Zero need for her to cancel the albums. Alot of fans are still excited and we've been waiting on new music for the longest. She just needs to be more active on somekind of metric to be visible and feed content. Secure more DJ collabs, features and continue to put out music. Give us the Spot A Fake music video. Add that song and MOM to the album for more streams and give us a deluxe.

please let the album come out at least. this is the beginning of the end though. despite having massive hits, things just never clicked. it's really sad.

If things never clicked she wouldn't have had multiple hits. Her issue since her sophomore era was the lack of promotion and her being totally disengaged from feeding us consistent content because she's just not interested in being a celebrity. She can't have it both ways. She's not established enough for that.

I feel kinda bad for her but she does seem very directionless. I feel like Tate Mcrae has swooped in and stole her spot - and is doing it better.

Her and Tate are two completely different type of artists. To say that Tate came and took her spot is factually weird and false. Tate first started out as a very Billie Eillish lite type then Olivis Rodrigo lite a d now is leaning into Britney Spears cosplay slash temu Tinashe. Ava at her best was serving RedOne Gaga. How are the two remotely similar?

I guess she might be back to singing 30 second EDM hooks for good.
 

Such a shame.

As long as they're hits they'll keep her afloat. I think she needs to work with better producers. Her working on a full album with RedOne could actually be it for her.

Honestly though this would be a great move. She needs to put in the work. All these selfies of her on vacation are not it. It's giving Hilary Duff.

If this is what she wants to do who are you to tell her to give up that's so defeatist and weird? Alot of yall on this website are success stans and it shows

there's only two ways out of this;

 

a raye style trajectory in some years time where she exposes all the wrongs she got served

Or work with Raye who is exceptional at melodies to pen her some hits would do wonders. Ava has and does great at pop. She doesn't need to change that. She does need work ethic and proper management and better material.

wtf happened to her career in the last couple of years…it feels like as soon as she broke up with cirkut the industry just turned their back on her :rip: 

I said this before and I'll say it again the second she opened her mouth about her ex Cirkut, Madison Love and then exposed what was happening at Atlantic/Warner theirs been an obvious switch on her that has felt personal and it's unfortunate cause what are the odds she finally is open with us about real **** and personal stuff and now it's biting her in the ass cause she's not being pushed or prioritized

Wrong. Other than working with RedOne, being blonde, white woman, that make pop music how exactly are they alike? Nothing that Ava has made even sounds like Poker Face, Bad Romance, Judas, Applause, Rain On Me, Abracadabra? Exactly. Idk why their is this sudden expectation that she was expected to reinvent the wheel when she's been very clear about just wanting to make unapologetic pop music. Not everything has to be deep or personal. She makes bops to sing along and dance too and thats OK and their is space and demand for that as well.

Not them dumping her after only 8 months :deadbanana2:

 

It's sad that she had a great start with her debut but things have been going downhill for a while now and it has to do with the quality of the music too, none of the singles from her new album are memorable

Diamonds And Dancefloors is actually a good album. This era has just been sorely mismanaged. The only song that hasn't clicked for me was Lost Your Faith but also she's been given zero budget.

I think the issue with Ava Max is the management teams that work with her never have any kind of unique vision for her. The only thing they've ever tried is that stupid Max Cut hairstyle and that only ever gets you so far.

She needs the MaxCut as it became part of her brand. Her actually dropping it so soon was random and counterproductive

This just shows how important a team is

Having cirkut and her old management behind her gave her hits 

As soon as she lost them she faded

She manifested this with the phrase 'Don't Click Play'. A self fulfilling prophecy queen tingz.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not giving up on her. We all make her the butt of so many jokes, but honestly there is an Ava shaped hole in the Pop landscape that nobody fills as good as her. 
 

Pop is a business and at this point it's clear Ava's swimming against the tide, I think everyone has made a huge error of judgement by laughing at her fight, her struggles to stay afloat and make the pop game look so effortless when really it is not, and we all delight at the cracks that are beginning to show.

 

On another level, regarding a key relationship she has with a portion of her audience.. Many baby gays are in bad situations and are in the closet with homophobic parents in redneck communities and I know that Ava is bringing light to some in these situations.

 

Ava's brand of electro pop is striving to be a fantasy brand against the backdrop of budgetary constraints and a label with other, sometimes more successful artists vying for attention, artists who don't necessarily serve the gay community like Ava.

 

I think it's time to support her as a community in a grass roots, un-ironic way, otherwise we risk losing her to the Ed Sheehan's and the Jellyroll's of this world.

I had high hopes for her when she dropped that silly haircut for a while then I saw one of her recent videos (the song wasn't good imo) and she had it back. Like sis what kind of hold does this cut have on you, it's not the gag you think it is. :deadbanana4:

The MaxCut is literally part of her brand and what made her standout. Yall were upset when she dropped it and now are mad that she brought it back? Make it make sense. That's like getting mad at Ariana for still rocking ponytails!

She'll always have a career, she has too many streaming hits to not. I think this has more to do with her output as of late. Tbh they really should be focusing her on the European market, her sound would do better there. 

 

But I also saw a recent video of her performing and she just didn't seem into it, probably stress from behind the scenes.

 

But a break and a rebrand would do wonders I think. 

She needs to continue to put out music, promote, tour and work on her engagement asap

she has some streaming hits but people don't have interest in her name.

it's like a bebe rexha situation. 

It's not the same because people find Bebe insufferable. That's not the case with Ava. People want more from Ava but she's just not giving that and that's an issue. When you're not giving the audience what you want they will move on.

The moment she claimed that she was not inspired by Gaga, I knew that she would not go very far, because being grateful is important. You dont discredit the one who inspired you. 

 

Gaga, despite the on and off / feuds with Madonna, always cited Madonna as 1 of her main inspirations, same with Grace Jones. Grace Jones has trashed Gaga in the past, but recently Gaga cited her again as an inspiration. David Bowie also was not very kind towards Gaga, but he has always remained her idol. 

 

The fact that Gaga never said a mean word towards Ava....

Again besides being white blonde and working with RedOne as artist Ava and Gaga dont have anything in common. This is something that ya projected onto her and want to enforce her to accept and its weird

This was a long time coming. She needs an entire rebrand with a new label and team. She should probably take a couple years off too to figure out an image and sound that she enjoys, is memerable, but also feels authentic. The maxicut was cute for 2019, but she needs something the GP can remember her by

Considering her absence hasn't helped her situation a hiatus isn't ideal. She needs to find a new management asap, tour, put out music and work with RedOne and Raye again and put out that dark pop album and give us a full album in the vein of The Motto. Alot of fans gravitate towards her psycho/anthemic duality of her artistry

She needs a rebrand. Her music is very impersonal - I feel like she needs to open up and let people know who she really is. The Ava Max persona very much feels like a mask that's not particularly unique.  Currently it feels like there is no intrigue into what she does next or WHY check out her music over others.

She tried doing that and it looks like Cirkut and Madison shut that sbit down behind the scenes real fast with the quickness

Since the flop in question keeps releasing half-assed, uninspired music with no artistic direction and still nothing is sticking. She needs to go back into the studio and recouperate. Maybe she has artist block or something

She's fine. She just needs to work with better producers, have a management team that can actually handle her career and her label needs to actually invest and promote her. It's not like she's some flop she has multiple hits. Do something!
