I provided evidence - are you trying to tell me that the massive success of Sorry, What Do You Mean and Where Are Ü Now didn't inspire other mainstream pop acts to try that same sound? Just listen to Ed's shape of you - it's very similar Purpose's sound, and nothing like the rest of Ed's discography. He clearly just saw what was popular and made his own version. And honestly the Despacito impact is undeniable. Are you saying your beloved Beyoncé would ever have done Mi Gente if she hadn't seen how successful Justin had been hopping on a latin track lol? Despacito did numbers regardless of Bieber. Ive heard radio edits with his parts entirely removed. Its like contributing the success of Havana to young thug.

This is true. But I guess the same could be said for like 90% of what we consider "influential" pop stars. Not even Gaga produces her own stuff - would Poker Face have been a hit without RedOne?

That J 12,166 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think of Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross and very early Prince, later MJ....these are all sounds that are used today in (my opinion) a lesser form. That's not saying Justin's music is copycat or lazy. Two of his songs are totally my guilty pleasures. Lol. But influence needs more time and depth. Maybe one day...I just dont think hes there yet. I'd love to see him get there. On the other note, Poker Face was a collab so it may have just been Po Face without Redone. Lol Pop music mysteries.
