Everyone can be a dua lipa her music is nothing special... We need a new pop star who has her own style 

exactly

There won't be another Lady Gaga in pop music 100% guaranteed, she was just too special (and still is) something totally different and revolutionary 

[MaryJaneHolland 77,348]

I want her to bring back pop again with LG6  I want another impactful record

Years before Gaga, even radios in Europe were fully into the RnB trend. Clubs either played non mainstream electronic music or urban music. Gaga turned the entire world into a Swedish type of synth pop utopia for five years, a world where gay and regular clubs shared 80 per cent of their playlists, where twinks, white jocks, and mums danced to Poker Face and Bad Romance while goth, femme, black, queer people were already strutting their holy stuff to Bloody Mary. Then trap happened. But dance music's still being played by radio hosts, it's just that males don't listen to it and straight girls prefer newcoming instagram models who sing to pop icons.

Firstly, the article says that Madonna’s Confessions came out in 2007 but it came out in 2005. That’s a stupid mistake. 

Secondly. Yeah, not buying all of this Gaga adoration of all a sudden. I don’t care if it’s ten years since The Fame, Gaga has worked almost nonstop in the last decade. Where was Nylon during ARTPOP. Or Joanne for that matter?

lol accurate tbh

A trend lasting 5 years is a lot. I mean, trends are usually short, especially on the era of streaming. So we should be thankful Gaga's imperial era lasted three years and her entire reign lasted 5

Madonna, whose 2007 album Confessions on a Dance Floor

COADF was released in 2005. What kind of journalist 

[ordinarynam1310 2,453]

Can't wait for LG6 to turn the world crazy and hop on the bluegrass trend

Maybe cuz neither ARTPOP or Joanne were as impactful as The Fame?

Honestly, even though I like Dua, she got cute bops but I miss a grand pop girl with a big entourage, dancers, lights, spectacle. It's like after Gaga and Katy it just stopped and it's all about being "relatable" now. It's like people stopped giving a damn about mystery and fairytale. Guess the climate has shifted.

Nah, ADELE didn't set any big trends because she already occupied the whole market of ballads and sappy songs. I think artists knew they stood no chance in such a place, so they discarded going that route (imagina Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj or Rihanna trying to do their own Rolling In The Deep) Yeah, Sam Smith and Emeli Sande kind of happened but it's not like every artist hopped on her sound like they did when the horrible trap era started.
