Easto 143 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I only really pay attention to ha music anyway so I'm perfectly satisfied with Dangerous Woman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday 2,175 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I really like Ariana, but I have to agree with you. Her image as a popstar is stale compared to what the other major popstars out there like Britney and Gaga have brought to the table. And this, however, not only applies to just Ari herself, but to the other currently active pop artists right now. Pop music is supposed to deliver a shock factor to the world, which is what currently lacks right now, and now everything in it just feels so downright dry. Ariana can be a lot more if she pushes her boundaries. Dont get me wrong, I love Dangerous Woman and its my favorite album of hers, but the whole thing seemed like (I'm sorry) her failed attempt of becoming a sex icon. Regardless, I understand her. I know she'll come around. She's still young, a lot of things are already prepared for her, and I hope she'll be brave enough to take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poot 719 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Pop girls are over for the GP, only gays still cling onto them. People don't care that much about the image anymore, and it's better this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 1 minute ago, bionic said: Ariana has no stage presence IMO I agree to a large extent. She has an established fanbase from her tv show days and some she has picked up with her last album, but she hasn't made the jump to the level that pop stars like Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor, etc. are or were at in the past. Is it that she just doesn't have the type of presence, on stage and off, that these superstars have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,600 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I don't get why she can't truly take off. She has the full package. I think she's got an it factor. But her single performances seem to suggest that the public thinks otherwise. But she's not the first girl with an amazing voice to have trouble selling out big tours (Mariah's always had very small tours in her career, sometimes even at small venues because she weirdly doesn't have much demand as a live act despite her voice being appreciated in singles). Image just isn't enough to sell anymore, it all comes down to that. You have to be so much more than a pretty face now. But I think her music from her second album onwards is good, so...I don't know. It could be Just One Of Those Things. Some amazingly talented people just can't catch a break. It's sad but that's life. 1 hour ago, Poot said: Pop girls are over for the GP, only gays still cling onto them. That's a good point. When it comes to showing them support, the loudest voice seems to be coming from the gays now. These girls are promoted to appeal to other girls but it seems the biggest support of all is from the gays now. I don't know why this has happened but it has. Maybe that is why so many of them are flopping now because a major part of a pop girl's audience is abandoning them, leaving it down to the second most popular demographic to hold things up.

NewYorkCity 10,530 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I am so mad. I love her music and I can not stan her to entertain myself while Gaga arrives because her performances and videos are boring. I was so excited for the Into You video, and for the Billboard performance... and I always end up finding myself losing my smile as the thing goes on like: ok... well... yeah.... meh. I will stick to listen to the album tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 In her defense I think it has to do with budget since her manager split and whatnot. But I 100% that Ari isn't going to break huge until she gives visuals and performances that are truly stunning. She won't experience the success she deserves until she reaches that peak where her visuals match the music. It actually does matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
