Miel 15,009 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I agree with her, big time. 3 hours ago, AJK273 said: I'm not a Halsey fan at all but this interview just gain her a lot of respect from me, I'll give badlands a cheeky stream I agree! Even listening to just a small portion of this, she seems to be a very smart individual. Not the biggest fan of her music or music style, but she got some respect from me. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's the only part of that song I can remotely stomach, trust me when I say Halsey is not the deterring factor about that song Been a long time but I'm back in town, and this time I'm not leaving without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yASSsss 35,510 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 “Kendrick [Lamar] has done a Maroon 5 feature, a Taylor Swift feature and a Sia feature -- which is more pop features than I’ve done. No one's calling him a pop star,” Halsey said. “But I’m being called one, even though I’m inherently an alternative artist. I don’t know if it’s a male thing, I don’t know if it’s an urban thing. I don’t know what it is. But if you’re a female alternative artist and you do anything that’s even slightly pop leaning, it’s condemning.” She used Lady Gaga as an example: “The lengths that Lady Gaga has to go to to maintain her cred as an artist of the counterculture are insane. If she does anything that’s even slightly too-pop people are going to be like ‘she sold out. She’s a pop artist.’ Kendrick Lamar can get on a Taylor Swift song and no one calls him a popstar, but Lady Gaga has to wear raw meat!” Source Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 59,173 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Kendrick is a male rapper though. He rapped in Bad Blood and Don't Wanna Know and The Greatest. He didn't sing in them, that's why he's not being called a pop star. Nicki Minaj features herself in 100 pop songs too but no one calls her a vocalist, because she raps in them. But Halsey people call you a pop musician (I don't even want to use the word 'star') because you are best known for one song that is Closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix 17,395 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 that's very true. people screamed SHE SOLD OUT when she released the cure, did people forget she started with pop trendy music, like her first hit - Just Dance. When she puts out artsy stuff, that's not pop = she's pretentious. When she puts out a simple pop record = she sold out. 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,209 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 She's right, but I think it's mostly because a lot of the alternative sounds that she started off with have crossed over to current mainstream pop culture. But I don't see why she feels like being called "pop" is the same thing as losing credibility. Gaga has always actively labeled herself as a popstar - with the exception being 2014-2015. She doesn't fight it, she owns it and makes it something great. Happiness will never last, darkness comes to kick your ass... ᵃˢˢ 🕺 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her debut album was pretty popular though and its an alternative record. Closer is just one song she featured on, her previous work was pretty notable too and did really well for a debut.
