This was gonna be my response. "Alice" was by far the craziest lore bc she sounded SO much like Brit (she should've been hired by Team Con instead of Myah tbh). But thus is my first time hearing about this Sam thing. Like what??? Was it a guy or girl?

The real question is, does Janet even want a comeback of any sorts? She kinda seems content just living off her legacy for the rest of her life

Is this really seen as a flop for him? Cause going platinum in less than 6 months is rare nowadays

I don't think we can make blanket statements that the whole world has heard it after two days, but ok. Plus, it's not like Miley is coming off the back of Flowers like during SB. This is performing pretty in line with how she's been doing for the past two years

Aren't all album era considered "over" once the album is out? That's the streaming era

This is capitalism lol. Is any of this **** worth it? No, but this is how corporations work and our pop girlies are no different from tht

Actually I think it's in the top 10 of highest grossing concert films and at the time of release was the second highest grossing for a female. So I don't think Part of Me was an underperformance

Does this mean this won't even make it to streaming now

When the songs been out for two days? Be ffr guys, yall are so dramatic

Take it as an achievement little monster, Katy is so irrelevant no one was checking to clock her

Okay

Exactly! I keep seeing in this thread (that's about the album mind you!) that people want her on guest roles and co-starring on TV next year when it hasn't even been a year of the album yet! Like are yall forgetting we waited a whole damn decade for new music and you want her to ditch it for acting? I don't get this forum sometimes

Oh Britney the legend that you were

The overdramatics lol. I rewatched this and she was clearly just caught up in the moment. She eventually did interact with Celine backstage and was literally fawning over her. There's many other things you could try and drag Taylor for, but this unfortunately was a misstep on your part babe. Try again!

Gangnam Style is the worst offender imo

Taylor is definitely leading the pack now, followed by Beyonce. Gaga and Katy are transitioning nicely into legacy status Britney and Rihanna are retired pop stars, but cultural figures. Xtina is a 00's relic Kesha and Robyn both have cult followings Kelly is and will always be the penultimate American idol Shakira is a Latin icon Adele & P!nk will always be a respected vocalists regardless of commercial success and will always be beloved by soccer moms Miley has a solid enough fanbase and celebrity to carry her career The last two are MAGA and i don't give af enough to even mention them So if we're not including Madonna, then Taylor is the current QoP

I hadn't seen this article back then, reflecting back RO definitely didn't meet their expectations. BUT I don't think they left completely disappointed, it just didn't make the impact I think they thought it would. I'm more interested in how her next era will turn out

She's aiming for quantity not quality so she doesn't need you to like her albums, cause she'll have another one in the works by the time the next round of "Miley flopped..why?" Threads come through

I think it's important to distinguish that she was referring to the song, in which case yes, it is reductive and doesn't hold up well. But I get it had a purpose to serve and it did that superbly, but just sonically-speaking BTW as a song is indeed reductive

Well those songs never made the original release for a reason lol. Tacking them on years later was just as an incentive for fans to Buy the new version, so ofc they don't feel like they "fit"

She announced retirement last year

And this is after having to cancel her last theatre tour… wow her power

Does her pitching down these songs in order to match her re-recorded vocals signal that she can no longer reach those high notes from 20 years ago

This album totally went under the radar. I honestly don't even know what the lead single is…
