Arturo 40,746 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Madonna is an obvious example of ageism in the music industry. And not many mainstream pop stars are ugly. A lot of people view Lady Gaga as ugly ever since the BTW era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 A lot of people view Lady Gaga as ugly ever since the BTW era. Well she didn't break out trying to be ugly. If anything, the fact her weirdest looks waited until later proves the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperIz 7,308 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Carly is so boring tbh. Katy is much more exciting and interesting.. Its so weird how Carly is older than Gaga.. she looks/ acts like a 17 year old tbqh thank you!! I find it annoying that every rapper has to announce they're coming into a song "Young Money!" "Ayoo it's Nicki! "Aw yeah, Drizzy gun mix it up right hur" It's just so annoying and stupid redone, convict, gaga - just dance gaga oh lala - bad romance juda gaga - judas cherry cherry boom boom gaga - Eh Eh gaaaaaaaagaaaaaaaaaa - government hooker gaga in the room - starstruck.... :derpga: Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarryTheKnight 2,181 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Madonna is an obvious example of ageism in the music industry. And not many mainstream pop stars are ugly. This. Gaga is probably considered to be the "ugliest" current pop star and she is still attractive most of the time Also, I wasnt trying to be ageist by saying Carly seems young... I didnt say anything negative, she just seems very juvenile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFD 57 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 gaga in the room - starstruck.... OMG, I didn't realize until now how lame that lyric is. Carly certainly doesn't stand out, but that doesn't mean she can be moderately successful. There are many "tamed" singers on the radio, but that doesn't stop them from doing well. Examples include Kelly Clarkson, Lady Antebellum, Train, etc. While it's too soon to determine what will become of her, I won't rule her out entirely.

Klou 2,414 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Madonna is an obvious example of ageism in the music industry. And not many mainstream pop stars are ugly. Men in Pop can get away with being unattractive more than women can. I can name quite a few unattractive men, but not so many women.

Magoo 6 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 BB Hot 100 calculations for the week based on all 7 days of itunes bars, current airplay and a streaming estimate #position, sales (000's) + airplay (A.I. millions) + streaming (20Ks) = points*, artist, song, (change on Hot 100) #1 273 + 176 + 48 = 358 Carly Rae Jepsen CMM (=) #2 233 + 172 + 38 = 320 Maroon 5 Payphone ft. Khalifa (+1) #3 179 + 196 + 43 = 311 Gotye STIUTK ft Kimbra (-1) #4 235 + 83 + 16 = 228 Katy Perry WA (=) #5 114 + 112 + 36 = 196 One Direction WMYB (+1) #6 91 + 119 + 40 = 192 Fun. WAY ft. Monae (-1) #7 122 + 122 + 17 = 190 Rihanna WHYB (+1) #8 159 + 74 + 32 = 190 Ellie Goulding Lights (+4) #9 105 + 107 + 33 = 184 Nicki Minaj Starships (-2) #10 131 + 88 + 22 = 173 Usher Scream (+1) #11 127 + 73 + 34 = 171 Justin Bieber Boyfriend (-1) #12 85 + 98 + 30 = 161 Flo Rida WO ft Sia (-3) #13 66 + 104 + 27 = 151 The Wanted GYC (=) #14 133 + 60 + 18 = 149 David Guetta + Sia Titanium (+1) #15 123 + 61 + 14 = 139 Pitbull BIT (-1) #16 80 + 53 + 31 = 123 Kanye West Mercy (+3) #17 91 + 64 + 15 = 123 Luke Bryan DOY (-1) #18 66 + 65 + 24 = 117 Train DB (-1) #19 85 + 62 + 14 = 116 Karmin Brokenhearted (-1) #20 75 + 59 + 13 = 107 Eric Church Springsteen (=) *points = 62% x sales/K + 80% x airplay (A.I. millions) + 5% x on demand streaming/K Payphone replacing STIUTK at #2 Wide Awake is still a long way short of breaking into the top 3. Too close to call for positions #5-#8; WHYB is benefiting from the extended remix and airplay rise. Lights sales slipped a little vs earlier in the week but still a good Hot 100 gain. Scream probably replacing Boyfriend at #10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
