Ozzy8923 9 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't mind Rihanna, I like a lot of her tunes tbh and some of her music videos, but she really just has no presence despite her singles. I mean overall, those are the three major "SHE IS IT" girls to come across pop music. * *Current Top Pop Girls (I'm not including Adele, she has no cultural presence in the US) Oh, OK that makes more sense.

00000000 1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I love Rihanna's urban hits. But she bothers me so much. -_- Oh, OK that makes more sense. Rihanna and Katy are just phases in pop. See: Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson, etc. Each generation has it's phases. Well Katy more than Rihanna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Katy more than Rihanna. I agree. And I think each phase also has an "it" girl. Madonna passed it to Britney, and then Britney passed it to Gaga. (And all three continue to be very successful today.) Edited May 15, 2012 by Americano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy8923 9 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Have any of you noticed that Rihanna has had a 7 year career and yet no true moment of cultural impact? I mean Britney when she was 7 years into her career (2006) She had already been one (if not the most) predominant figures in pop and that was without extensive radio support like Rihanna. Britney really never got a lot of airplay. Her 3 highest peaking songs (position wise, not audience impressions) on the Radio Songs chart were all with FF. HIAM was her highest peaking radio song (#5) and then TTWE beat it by peaking at #4 and then IWG peaked at #6 (tied with Womanizer). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano 31,061 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Gaga's nearing 5 years, so we'll start to see fiercer competition on her #1 status in the next coming years. She's still only in her mid 20s though, so she has time to keep it. Edited May 15, 2012 by Americano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson, etc. Each generation has it's phases. Well Katy more than Rihanna. Paula Abdul. I am BAFFLED that some people would rather have her over Britney. Paula Abdul started flopping by 1995 only 7 years into her career. Britney still has her career stable and well-organized 13 years into it and she has yet to have a REALLY bad era. Even Blackout managed 3 million WW and 2 platinum hits and her second highest peaking song (Gimme More #3). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I think she had a U shaped success until ROL era, then a complete decline. ROL being the second tip of the U and Like A Prayer being the first.

Americano 31,061 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Remember in 2010 all the "IS KE$HA THE NEW GAGA?". Yup, and my mom even owns a magazine that says "IS PAULA ABDUL THE NEW MADONNA?" on the cover. That's literally what it says. AKA think 20 years from now and who will be the new pop legend.

I'm still trying to figure out how K$ and Gaga got comparisons, they are two different kinds of crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
