So there are a lot of artists in this business that start off with a very pop star image, and eventually go off to do their thing.
Do you have a favourite? Are you a fan of these? Do you prefer these artists before or after?

Lady Gaga

The second photo of Jessie J isn’t really a representation of what she looks like now. Wasn’t the bald head/cropped blonde only around during the ‘Alive’ album cycle? She’s had two albums since then and is back to long black locks! 

Kesha’s is my favourite. Although her journey has been a rough one it’s one I can relate to and I’ve loved seeing her grow and shed the image she was given at the start of her career.

Gosh I remember when Entertainment Weekly had a spread about Kesha when she first came onto the scene, and I was like but we just got Gaga.. haha

Of course I'd say Gaga is my favorite look though. She inspired many others during that time.

It just shows what chameleons popstars are. They evolve to adapt to the current music scene, that's their innate nature. And for some of them, as their real side comes out more, when they're starting to get more artistic freedom, they usually go through a big image change, physically as well as sonically. And sometimes it wins them fans, sometimes it doesn't. Notice how Jessie and Katy went through their least successful eras with short hair? Long hair is a staple for popstar success, Pink being the one big exception, Rihanna when she went through her cropped phase. And being skinny is sadly, the preferred body type. Makes me wonder how the new popstars will look like in years to come.

Whenever I see this side-by-side comparison, my brain can't even process that it's the same person. And it's more than just the tan and the hair, I think she's also had facial surgery. I don't know how anyone can look at this and use the "Italians can tan very dark" excuse. If that was the case, she would be darker back then. The image on the right is clearly the result of a heavy spray tan. A real tan isn't that perfectly even with no white patches round her eyes where sunglasses would be worn, no tan lines and I doubt Ariana would risk aging her skin by naturally tanning anyway, which is widely considered fairly outdated and unhealthy these days. I'm sure she wants to be perceived as darker to attract a racially diverse group of fans rather than just white girls to maximise profits. I've considered that her label have encouraged this.

I much prefer their pop images (especially Katy Perry and Jessie J) but I love both of Gaga’s.
