RadioIsOurs 13,876 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It should not be about the gender. I won't dislike the music just because it's from another gender. That would be kinda sexist in fact. However, what I can say is that I don't like the type of music that straight men like to make as of right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,583 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 To put it bluntly, the pop girls can't string together a cohesive, bold pop era to save their souls anymore. They've all become so transparent, lazy and boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how its a concept album too like old-Gaga. I've heard Melodrama, Sober and Homemade Dynamite, and they're are fire. I have complete faith.

They've all become so transparent, lazy and boring. Why would they though? They could make a Thriller-level masterpiece and it would fail to top the charts. Meanwhile, Justin Biber writes a cute little chorus for a remix and it skyrockets to #1 at the charts. Music is not longer worth it. Imagine putting all your hard work and passion into a peice of art, and when u realese ut, everyone ignores it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not a woman collaborating with a man or Adele, getting a #1 song is nearly impossible nowadays. Why didn't The Cure go straight to #1 like SOY or TWIL. Are Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran just making better music than everyone else? No way, Joanne is better than anything they've ever put out, but of course Gaga is a gay icon, so she's never going to reach the mainstream heterosexual males. The Cure is a stand alone third single with the only formal promo coming from a music festival 99.999999 per cent of the people don't follow in any way. SOY and TWILI were debut singles from top tier artists, who had highly successful eras in the one before this one. Their debut singles had all the expected promo spots and radio deals. Two entirely different situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed and Bruno just have more overall interest in their musical output than Gaga, and most pop females it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is a buzz that is created when an artist is coming back after a break. That first single has all the opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, radio is a big factor, but Ed Sheeran's views on YouTube blew up before he even went into power rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see some social research done on this topic to see if it's all true or what not... One, five, ten lay a million on me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
