Raikov 183 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 How can journalists still be spewing this nonsense? They're always from English speaking countries too. You don't see articles like this coming from say, Russia, Chile or Israel, do you? I picked these countries because, 1) Taylor has never toured these regions in her entire 9 year career. 2) Taylor has doesn't seem to sell in these regions. 3) Madonna has toured these regions and had large success I was in Russia recently and showed a college student my phone to see what artists he recognized. He recognized Lady Gaga, among others, but not Taylor Swift. I heard Marry the Night and freaking Born This Way in the same venue. Another college student told me that Lady Gaga "was extremely popular." At a music store, I found ARTPOP, C2C, and BTW. I even found a vinyl of C2C. There was absolutely no Taylor material. None. (No Katy stuff either, if that helps you sleep at night). There was more Lana stuff. Gaga's one of the most played artists on Russian radio (Rihanna is too, mostly because Diamonds was a monster hit there, like everywhere). You wanna talk about impact, talk about the superstar who got kicked out of a country for not following a homophobic law and is still beloved, played, and remembered by the inhabitants of that country. EDIT: Remember when some people were starting to say Taylor Swift was bigger than the Beatles? When she releases her "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Day in the Life," I'll listen. We all like to say "Taylor could fart on a track and make it a hit," but Lennon literally wrote a song of nonsense (I am the Walrus) and it's remembered as one of their best songs. Sales are only one factor of success. Let's not pretend like Taylor deserves to be mentioned alongside these names because of her financial success.

Pity Party 743 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The most basic and uninteresting pop star of our generation. She is average... the delusion of some stans i swear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 By the way, could all the Taylor fans kindly reserve their smug gloating for Taylor fansites,Taylor sub-boards and Taylor newspaper/gossip site articles? Don't do it on a site dedicated to another artist. It's highly annoying and disrespectful to do this especially when Gaga's still trying to recover from a rough patch. A lot of you say "If you don't like her, just don't pay attention to her," but it's hard to do that when Taylor adoration infiltrates a site dedicated to another artist! Everywhere I look online, this girl pops up, so the least you could do is gloat in secret amongst fellow fans and make it easier for the rest of us who just want a break from her. Could we extend this to everyone, including when the Lana stans took over this board for a while with their talk of the album before UV and then when they took over the statuses and the Entertainment thread for weeks leading up to UV? I know there must be a Lana site. How about the Madonna fans that hang out here 24/7 cutting Gaga down for fun? Why can't they go hang out at MadonnaNation? How about the Katycats that went on and on about Prism and now about the tour? I know there is a Katy forum, full of fans...why can't they keep their discussions there? How about the Adele fans? Ariana with her singles? What about the Beyonce fans when she wins her upteenth award or when she dropped her album that sold a million in two weeks and she was everywhere? Lets also drop all discussion of awards shows, because Gaga isn't nominated... I would like a break from all these artists on a Gaga fansite, but guess what...that's not how this forum is set up. It is (unfortunately) more like a pop girl forum. I've learned that if I don't want to talk about a certain artist, or read about them, to avoid their threads!

I agree with you about avoiding some threads. I don't mind it too much, but there are some people that I feel are behind the computer eating donuts obsessing over everything that is said about these other artists you are talking about. lol The charts thread has turned into a Nicki and Meghan love fest. Heaven forbid anyone should have an opinion other that Nicki and Meghan rule on that thread. Other threads have turned into a love fest for other artists. LOL I just think its funny most of the time.

Lol It's like they are posting just for themselves. Like you, I too wonder if some people ever get out of their house or have anywhere to go? Of course, it is still our personal choice whether to go into the thread or not, in all the sections of this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 59,107 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 So I guess each artist that excels in a certain department is the new MJ Good to know. Of course they need to have huge impact like Gaga and Michael to be considered on the same level. Stop being delusional. Now Gaga might not be as legendary as Michael was to some people as of current but I'm sure she will in the future. She's already impressive enough judging based on what she has done and can already be categorized into MJ"s level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle 4 Ur Life 6,713 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 honestly, s* up, she has like 1 pop album. I'm not a hater but come on. NO.edit: I don't even know why I commented on this because I hate these "most recent performer" is the NEW "established performer" articles. they're always reaching and just bad journalism.I'm not even hating on Taylor but she has ONE pop album. she can't be compared to Madonna yet. and there's no point in even doing so. “Fantastic, chic, freak, slay.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
