Sugarfall 3,723 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I kissed a girl is a pop rock song. And once again, I know that there were artists releasing electronic music before Gaga, but they were isolated hits. Artists like Cascada even said that Gaga paved the way for artists like them. And what was Rihanna new directions that you are talking of? Gimme More, Womanizer, Circus, Umbrella, Can't Get You Out of My Head etc. were isolated hits? Maybe you're American and it was different there but I don't think dancey music ever died in Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang 2,262 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The 2000s were mostly dominated by hip hop and some pop rock. It wasn't until aggressive electronic albums like the Fame that all artists followed. It was quite obvious actually. Rihanna has been one of the most successful artists this generation. But at the end of the day I am talking about who had more influence and impact (not just music), and Rihanna is just not as influential as Gaga.2000, 2005 & 2006 and a big portion of 2007 was dominated by dance music. Artists like Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and The Black Eyed Peas are prime perfect examples of that, meaning dance music was always mainstream. And it still is, the only difference is that sometimes it dies down and other times it shoots straight back up, regardless of this pointless discussions, let me remind you that dance music has been offering nothing but low key hits ever since 2011. So much for Gaga's supposedly massive imapct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after Gaga released the Fame, just about everyone followed with electronic dance music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after Gaga released the Fame, just about everyone followed with electronic dance music.I'd still like to know who exactly that is, though.While you try to come up with an answer, why don't you read this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rihanna#Legacy_and_influenceIt addresses (or should I say dismisses) several of your points, incl. even:"On June 2, 2014, Rihanna was presented with Fashion Icon lifetime achievement award from Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), a special prize reserved for "an individual whose style has made a significant impact on popular culture on an international stage"."
