Lambada

Ai tends overcomplicate and overembellish songs. This song feels like composed by human with intention to be anti-ai. An of course it is sung live, not only because it sounds real, but because it makes no sense generating performance which is harder to edit right, than human singing.

Those details "leaked" too quickly. Its all staged.

ABBA is bigger because of more consistently succesfull albums. But musically and critically Fleetwood is slightly better from todays perspective. I am ABBA fan and probably had too much expectations, used to think their music will always hold strong in any future pop music context. In 90s and 00s it felt nothing can be better than ABBA. But now many ABBA masterpieces feel a bit aged.

Looks not very accurate. Salieri had more streams and better charts performance overrall than Mozart at the time they lived.

Eurovision cannot deliver anything in last few decades. All those artists can function only inside Eurovision aesthetic capsule and are irrelevant in the real world.

No. She may have hits, but not as big.

I had similar comparison in mind, but problem here this "work" has no weekends and vacations. And no retirement.

5 collabs over 20 years. At least one of them already was a hit. Doesn't look like desperate attempts to revive career. More like occasional collabs just to stay visible.

She has b list moment. Not for long, because she likes to talk more than sing and doesn't care about charts.

Olivia. She has more options to reinvent herself in future. Sabrina looks stuck in her current image which will get old soon.

Gaga and Fergie. Gagas flop was so unexpected.

Yeah, probably I went too far questioning Phil and Tina. During their peak they were very close to the level of Jackson and Madonna by number of top20 charting albums and singles. Today they still have streams, but in my opinion streaming numbers could be bigger in context of other 80s stars and knowing how huge their status was in 80s.

Such extravagant, pretentious type of artists rarely survive for long. She looks like a person lacking maturity and focus to control her career. Probably she will slowly fade away.

Ava could be. Unfortunately she is not so lucky with producers and image.

Ava looks sad

Popular - yes. Legend - no.

Probably not official fan, but I listened her discography somewhen around 2010 and liked her 80s era (plus few later songs) a lot. It feels much different when you listen old albums after all hype around them is long over. From neutral perspective you choose what you like only based on musical value of the songs.

Older songs are known to more age groups. Good ones had plenty of time to grow to the classic status. Bad ones from the past are already forgotten, thus no complains how bad old music was (it was).

Dislike her personality and way of singing. Just something is so fake in her even by pop standards.

And all those albums were blocking many more from #2

Why playing chart game is bad? Is it because not everybody wins?

The only thing is clear from his speech is: he doesn't care of which care he doesn't care.

Celines weakness is repertoire. Her songs, despite being very good, are too traditional, theatrical and safe. Celines singing is closer to musicals and cinema. Mariah fits pop diva role better.
