Critical Acclaim or Commercial Success?

[Kacey Elizabeth 900]

​Holly crap. I had always thought that Born This Way had a better score than The Fame Monster 

Born This Way's score was 71%.

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

That means: 

Critical Acclaim AND Commercial Success    

​Nah.. Critical Acclaim is also bling 

[Gagy 419]

I am here for something that pleases us (little monsters). But I wont be mad if she will get commercial. 

Her personality is turning me on. :kinky:

On a more serious note, commercial success means more money, and that's what record labels want. So of course they will always prefer commercial success ofer critical acclaim, I guess. Also, I noticed that successful music is often ranked higher amongst critics, so the success may have an impact on how people perceive the music.

I don't think you guys understand. The question is about which is more important to you. Not if you'd like both, then would you take both?   

​oh ... then NEITHER  

 

I would prefer a album which Gaga genuinely love and made not for the critics or for the charts but because of her love for music

​I didn't ask when THEY prefer.I asked what do you prefer 

[HighwayGuy 1,498]

I am NOT here for an album that random critics adore but the majority of people don't 

 

Commerical success is more important if you want to be remembered 

 

You could be a nobody with an album that critics adore but if noone's interested and noone buys it, then who will talk about it in the future? 

[GoldenNovember 472]

​I didn't ask when THEY prefer.I asked what do you prefer 

Personally, I don't really care. If I like the music I can cope with bad reviews or even bad sales numbers.

Of course it does. Although the album had it's flaws, if ARTPOP opened with 800 K+ or something like that, it wouldn't have received so much negativity

Personal acclaim. 

[Ladey Gagz 2,512]

Commercial success imo

[liz89 373]

Critcal acclaim is more important to me tbh. 

 

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

Personal acclaim. 

​That's the most important obviously  Not for some people tho 

[VforVendetta 2,024]

Both, can't choose.

One thing is for sure though, dignity comes first.
