Smother Em Eh 7,091 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ok, so Gwen’s Residency Show has just kicked off and it made me come to many conclusions regarding it. Now before I get into this I wanna say I am not hating on her or this by any means. I like Gwen but I’m not a stan or anything. So here it goes. I’ll just flat out say it. I don’t think Gwen should have have a Residency. Here’s why. - She isn’t a main pop girl like Madge, Britney, Gaga, Riri, Katy, Miley etc. therefore her popularity is rather small. Does she even have any stans? I’ve never met a hardcore Gwen stan. - Her discography isn’t very big. So how big could the setlist be? Like what’s it gonna be Hollaback Girl, Sweet Escape, Make Me Like You and 18 other album tracks know one has heard of? - She doesn’t even have much of a brand like AT ALL. The other girls have legendary stage names, hits, music videos, performances, and even expand their brand by coming out with fragrances to widen their audience. But not Gwen. - She doesn’t have the top knotch performing skills as the other girls, (Madge, Bey, Gaga, Britney, JLO) Does anyone get what I’m saying or see where I’m coming from? I don’t think she has enough substance to her brand and name for a Residency show. I feel like well if Britney has had one and Gaga is getting one, then Madge, Bey, JLO and Rihanna should definitely have one. Sure Gwen is an icon you could say, just not a super famous pop star with a huge brand and skills to back it up. No hate, cuz like I said I like Gwen as a person and respect her as a pop star, but come on, does she really have enough music, big enough stan base, popularity, and impact to get a Residency Show?

Guest bostonGUY Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 she had a career before her solo career so... Everyone knows No Doubt so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Kardashian 2,708 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I LOVE Gwen but she's also not going to be selling out any tours. US or Worldwide. A residency is a safe bet and that's why she did it. Shop SKIMS & SKKN BY KIM online! The Kardashians streaming now on Hulu and Disney+! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseBabe 837 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Someone in Vegas must of thought she was going to be profitable enough to give her an entire residency. She also was in a band through the 90's that was pretty popular before she started her solo career. It's not like she's going to sing Hollaback Girl for 2 hours straight.

Benji 20,113 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It's not just reserved for those artists though... the Backstreet Boys, Calvin Harris, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Boys II Men, Deadmau5, Zedd and even The Chainsmokers have done Vegas residencies.

Benji 20,113 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It's also worth noting... a lot of the time it's not exactly about the artist. A lot of the crowd that go to these shows are staying in Vegas and just want to see a show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay literally her brand is herself and No Doubt she (im pretty sure) co founded the band. Even though she has 3 solo albums, No Doubt has 5-6, so she has plenty of material to use and perform with. Anyone alive between 1995-2005 knows her time with the band so yeah shes pretty well known Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk96 2,526 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The setlist is a combination of not only her solo work,but also her work with No Doubt,which is universally well-known. She is an iconic singer and her distinctive voice and moving lyrics made her a powerhouse entertainer. If you can't see that then I'm sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie 2,518 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well...she has more than 20 years in the music industry and who says residencys are just for Pop girls? she is not just pop she is Rock Honestly your points are stupid What if tomorrow I see you again? Should I say that I used to love you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she sure does have a distinctive and instantly recognizable voice but that makes her a powerhouse entertainer? So do people like Bebe Rexha and Camilla Cabello oh does that make them powerhouse entertainers too? And what do you mean by moving lyrics? Cuz don’t like all the pop girls have “moving” lyrics?

River 114,972 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm sorry but to say that Gwen has no performing skills is just to be ignorant.. or too young.. Gwen shaped so many performance skills that many pop girls and rock girls are adopting to themselves, Gwen has a big name in the US and worldwide.. even bigger than your fave.. And also Gwen has a better reputation among the "pop haters", they respect and appreciate her more, even listening to her solos.. Anyway, If I had to choose between going to see Brit or Gwen, I would go to see Gwen.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicOfCANCER 6,292 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I disagree with most of your main points, and its clear you aren't familiar with how big Gwen was from the early 90s through the mid 2000s. She doesn’t even have much of a brand like AT ALL. The other girls have legendary stage names, hits, music videos, performances, and even expand their brand by coming out with fragrances to widen their audience. But not Gwen. also, WTF? she has an iconic fashion line (L.A.M.B.) as well as perfumes, toys, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to songs like "Don't Speak","Magic's In The Makeup","Marry Me","New","Ex-Girlfriend","Running","Underneath It All","Rock Steady",etc and you'll eat your words about her lyrics. Comparing Gwen to Bebe and Camilla is absolutely redundant because they're nowhere similar in any fashion to the iconography of Gwen. You sound extremely ignorant honestly.

Benji 20,113 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just to back up some other posts here, Gwen's impact was big. You still hear these songs on the radio all of these years later. I've even heard Just A Girl being played in rock/indie nightclubs in the past few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
