Anveeroy 56,891 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Pink and Kesha cleared the way for women in the 2010s: The way these six artists weathered the music industry's shifts defied conventional wisdom about how women in the spotlight can hold on to their status. Lady Gaga kicked off the decade with the audacious “Born This Way,” which included powerhouse singles, like the Clarence Clemons-assisted "The Edge of Glory" and the drama-heavy "Marry the Night.” But on its followup, 2013’s “ARTPOP,” she seemed to lose the plot, its halfhearted songs backed by her puddle-deep proclamations of being a serious artist. This foray into performance-piece gibberish wound up being a perfect setup for her rise back into capital-a Authenticity, though, beginning with 2016’s “Joanne,” which wasn’t as countrified as the pink 10-gallon hat she wore on its cover implied but which did contain a couple of stirring piano ballads. Her efforts at remaking herself then crested with the 2018 remake of "A Star Is Born," which contained the world-conquering power ballad "Shallow." Those triumphs — as well as her collaborative record with Tony Bennett and her Las Vegas residency "Enigma," both of which showcased her ability to channel old-school crooners — put the indulgent “ARTPOP” era far in the rear view mirror. (She's also franchised her name with her Amazon-distributed makeup line Haus.)

Anveeroy 56,891 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Pop music underwent a lot of sweeping changes in the 2010s. The way these six women, all of whom are still considered capital-p Pop Stars, weathered its shifts defied conventional wisdom about how women in the spotlight can hold on to their status — and laid the groundwork for late-10s world-beaters such as Lizzo and Grande to upend expectations with even more gusto.

nenhures 12,846 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Glad they're acknowledging their impact (and what an impact) but can these publications talk about Gaga's discography without feeling the need to discredit ARTPOP at least once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDiamond 6,286 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 there is slight Beyonce shade ,, Indeed, over the 2010s, when she definitely was one of pop's most mega of stars, she only hit the Hot 100's top 10 twice — and her lone No. 1 hit came when she hopped on a track by jack-of-all-trades moppet Ed Sheeran. ,, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 25,945 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Kind of over the backhanded compliments publications love to give her, but I'm always here for Born this Way appreciation and purpose. Anyways, mark my words hunnies, ARTPOP will reach cult status in due time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
